Summary

Changes in activated oxygen scavenging enzymes, superoxide dismutase (EC 1.15.1.1.), catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) ascorbate peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.11) and glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) during low-temperature storage were examined. Results indicate that oxidative stress may be involved in cold-induced peel damage of harvested citrus fruit. Chilling-tolerant mandarin cultivars may have a more efficient antioxidant enzyme system.
