All fungi isolated from climacteric fruits had reduced mycelial growth when held in 0.1 and 1 µL L-1 ethylene but those from non-climacteric fruits showed no effect of ethylene. The finding was unexpected and suggests that fungi that colonise climacteric fruits are advantaged by delaying growth when fruits start to ripen. Since non-climacteric fruits do not exhibit any marked increase in ethylene, colonising pathogens would not need such an adaptive response.]]> Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:08:23 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34803 -2). After treatment, mangoes were stored for 12 d in air (<0.005 µL L^-1 ethylene) or 0.1 µL L^-1 ethylene at 20 °C and 100% relative humidity (RH). Weight loss, peel colour, firmness, ethylene production, respiration rate, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), total chlorophyll content, total phenolic content (TPC) and total antioxidant activity were assessed at 3-d intervals. The results showed that UV-C treatment delayed skin degreening, reduced endogenous ethylene production, suppressed respiration rate and lowered chlorophyll content compared to untreated control fruit. Fruit treated with UV-C had significantly higher TPC and total antioxidant activity at the end of the storage period than untreated fruits for both storage atmospheres. In addition, UV-C treated fruits remained significantly firmer than untreated fruits. UV-C treatment significantly affected TSS and TA levels in different ways. Storage of fruits in 0.1 µL L^-1 ethylene significantly affected fruit firmness, respiration rate and ethylene production, while other fruit quality parameters were similar to fruit stored in air. These results indicated that UV-C irradiation could be used as an effective and rapid method to extend the postharvest life of mature green mangoes without adversely affecting certain quality attributes in the presence of low-level ethylene during storage.]]> Tue 03 Sep 2019 17:58:50 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41193 Thu 28 Jul 2022 11:12:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48105 Fri 24 Feb 2023 15:38:11 AEDT ]]>
