Abstract:

In order to solve the problems of water accumulation on the surface of bayberry harvested in rainy days, and the deterioration of appearance and nutritional quality of fresh fruits due to mechanical damage accumulation caused by vibration during storage and transportation, in this study, we developed a new hollowed-out packaging, and traditional basket packaging for fruits was used as a control group to explore the effect of different hollowed-out forms on the quality of Biqi bayberry. The results showed that the full hollowed-out packaging method was beneficial to reduce the pre-cooling time after picking of fruits, and the core temperature reached 4 ℃ after 48 min of pre-cooling. The non-hollowing packaging method effectively reduced the weight loss rate of fresh fruits during transportation, and the weight loss rate was maintained at 13.49% at 10 days of storage. The semi-hollowing packaging method had significant advantages in maintaining good appearance and nutritional quality, including the contents of titrable acids, soluble solids, vitamin C, total phenols, and anthocyanin. At the same time, the semi-hollowing packaging method can better inhibit the rise of malondialdehyde content in fresh fruits during storage and transportation. By comprehensive analysis of the appearance and nutritional quality of fruits during storage, the semi-hollowing group had a better effect among all treatments.
