Abstract
The effects of various chitosan(CTS) solutions at 0,0.5%,1.0% and 2.0% on storage and fresh-keeping of 'Baxi' banana fruits were studied.The results showed that CTS significantly inhibited softening progress and disease development of banana fruits and exhibited low levels of membrane permeability and polyphenol oxidase(PPO) activity and high activities of phenylalanine ammonialyase(PAL) and β-1,3-glucanase(GUN).Among these four treatments,application of 2.0% CTS appeared to be the most effective in maintaining storage quality.The results indicated that the delay in ripening and senescence of banana fruits by CTS could be related to regulation of enzyme activities.
