Effects of Pre-Harvest AVG Treatments on Fruit Quality of Jonagold Apple Cultivar throughout Cold Storage

Abstract

The present study was conducted in 2010 and 2011 years to investigate the effects of pre-harvest aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) treatments on weight loss, flesh firmness, soluble solids content, starch degradation and titratable acidity of Jonagold apple cultivar at harvest and at 60 days post-harvest intervals throughout 180 days cold storage at 2±0.5 °C, 90±5% RH. A total of 225 mg l-1 AVG dose was applied at once in a single application at different times. AVG treatments applied at once (225 mg l-1) 8 and 4 weeks before the anticipated harvest time. Unsprayed trees were served as control. The weight loss of AVG1 treatment was lower than control and AVG2 treatment. The flesh firmness of AVG2 was higher than other treatments during cold storage. AVG treatments delayed flesh softening, starch degradation rates and consequently decelerated fruit ripening.
