Changes in Some Physicochemical Properties During Shelf Life of Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas L.) Naturally Grown in Amasya

Abstract

Cornelian cherry grown in our country has an important potential in human nutrition because of its high vitamin C and antioxidant content. In this research, changes in some quality parameters of cornelian cherry naturally grown in Amasya were investigated during shelf life of 9 days at 20±1℃. Weight loss and soluble solid content increased, titratable acidity decreased during shelf life. Vitamin C content (899.39 mg/kg) and antioxidant activity (182.55 µl) which were the highest at the beginning of the shelf life decreased with the progress of the time. Fruit peel color values decreased during the shelf-life period. As a result, it is possible to say that the shelf life of cornelian cherry fruits harvested at ripening stage can be limited to 3 days based on weight loss. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate about modified atmosphere packaging and new postharvest technologies in order to extend the terms of the marketing process and keep the quality of this fruit species grown under our country’s conditions.

Amasya’da Doğal Olarak Yetişen Kızılcık (Cornus mas L.) Meyvelerinin Raf Ömrü Sürecinde Bazı Fizikokimyasal Özelliklerindeki Değişimler

Abstract

Ülkemizde doğal olarak yetişen kızılcık, yüksek C vitamini ve antioksidan içeriği ile insan beslenmesi için önemli potansiyele sahiptir. Araştırmada Amasya’da doğal olarak yetişen kızılcık meyvelerinin 20±1℃ sıcaklıkta 9 günlük raf ömrü süresince bazı meyve kalite parametrelerindeki değişimler incelenmiştir. Raf ömrü süresince ağırlık kaybı ve suda çözünür kuru madde kapsamı artış, titre edilebilir asitlik düzeyi düşüş göstermiştir. Raf ömrü süreci başında en yüksek olan meyvelerin C vitamini kapsamı (899.39 mg/kg) ile antioksidan aktivitesi (182.55 µl) sürenin ilerlemesi ile düşüş göstermiştir. Meyve kabuğu renk değerleri raf ömrü periyodu süresince düşmüştür. Sonuç olarak yeme olumunda derilen kızılcık meyvelerinin raf ömrü süresinin ağırlık kayıpları dikkate alındığında 3 gün ile sınırlı olduğunu söylemek olasıdır. Bu nedenle gerek kalite korunumunun gerekse pazarlama süresinin uzatılabilmesi için modifiye atmosferli koşullarda paketlemenin ve yeni muhafaza teknolojilerinin ülkemiz koşullarında yetiştirilen bu meyve türünde kullanılabilme olanaklarının araştırılmasına gereksinim vardır.
