Résumé

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn. cv. Huaizhi) fruit were treated with aqueous solutions of 1 or 2% chitosan coating 1 hour after dipping in 0.1% thiabendazole, and then stored at 4 deg C and 90% relative humidity. Chitosan coating delayed changes in contents of anthocyanin, flavonoid, total phenolics, delayed the increase in polyphenol oxidase activity, reduced weight loss, and partially inhibited the increase in peroxidase activity. All these changes corresponded to changes in browning. The applications of chitosan coating partially inhibited decay of fruit during storage.
