Forced Air Precooling Enhanced Storage Quality by Activating the Antioxidant System of Mango Fruits by Jian Li, Yingli Fu, Jiaqi Yan, Huanlu Song, Weibo Jiang

“…Results showed that forced air precooling treatment maintained fruit firmness, inhibited fruit peel coloration, retarded hydrolysis of polysaccharide to soluble sugar, and decreased fruit decay during storage. Biochemical studies revealed that precooling treatment could eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS) effects by enhancing related antioxidant enzyme activities, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione reductase (GR), and polyphenoloxidase (PPO). …”
