During the storage of apples, apple softening is one of the main problems. Sodium silicate has been used to enhance disease resistance and maintain quality of fruits. In the present study, apple fruit (cv. Golden delicious) were treated with 100 mmol L sodium silicate for 10 min and stored at 20 °C to investigate its effects on weight loss, flesh firmness, and the activity of cell wall-degrading enzymes.
The results indicated that 100 mmol L of sodium silicate treatment delayed the increase of weight loss and decrease of the flesh firmness in apples. Sodium silicate treatment also suppressed the activity of polygalacturonic acid transeliminase and pectin methyltranseliminase, pectin methylgalacturonase, polygalacturonase, cellulase and β-galactosidase in the fruit.
Delaying apple softening by sodium silicate treatment is closely related to the inhibition of the activity of cell wall-degrading enzymes and weight loss. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
在苹果贮藏过程中,苹果软化是主要问题之一。硅酸钠已被用于增强抗病性和保持果实品质。本研究用 100mmol/L 硅酸钠处理苹果(金冠品种) 10min,然后在 20°C下贮藏,以研究其对失重、果肉硬度和细胞壁降解酶活性的影响。
结果表明,100mmol/L 硅酸钠处理延缓了苹果失重增加和果肉硬度下降。硅酸钠处理还抑制了多聚半乳糖醛酸转醛酶和果胶甲酯转醛酶、果胶甲酯酶、多聚半乳糖醛酸酶、纤维素酶和β-半乳糖苷酶的活性。
