Abstract

The aim of this work was to investigate the effect and possible mechanism of glycine betaine(GB) treatment on the antioxidant properties of cucumber during low-temperature storage.‘Zhongnong 8’ cucumbers were immersed in GB solutions at 0,5,10 mmol/L and 15 mmol/L and stored at 4 ℃.Changes in parameters related to oxidative metabolism were observed.The results showed that increasing GB concentration resulted in a decrease in lipoxygenase(LOX) activity.The activities of peroxidase(POD) and catalase(CAT) were enhanced by exogenous GB treatment.Meanwhile,the accumulation of malondialdehyde(MDA) and hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) were restrained.GB at a dose of 10 mmol/L revealed the most obvious effect.
