Abstract

Cattail is highly perishable during storage, exhibiting symptoms such as water loss, browning, and wilting, which severely compromise their edible quality and commercial value. Storage temperature plays a critical role in the process of ripening and senescence in cattail. The work aims to evaluate the effects of room-temperature and low-temperature storage on the quality attributes and energy metabolism of cattail. Jianshui cattail was used as the experimental material and was packaged in polyethylene (PE) bags and stored at room-temperature (25 ℃) and low-temperature (4 ℃) for 15 d, respectively. Quality parameters and energy metabolism-related indicators were measured every 3 d. The results indicated that cattail stored at 25 °C deteriorated and became inedible by day 6 (sensory score < 3). In contrast, low-temperature storage extended the shelf life to 12 d. After 12 days of storage at 4 °C, the total bacterial count, weight loss, browning index, respiration rate, malondialdehyde content, and relative conductivity were recorded at 6.00 lg (CFU/g), 5.29%, 19.87%, 25.70 mg/(kg·h), 0.51 nmol/g, and 17.89%, respectively. These values were significantly lower than those observed in the room-temperature group (P<0.05). The shelf life of cattail was extended to 12 d. Furthermore, low-temperature storage effectively delayed the decline in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) contents, as well as energy charge (EC). It also enhanced the activities of key enzymes, including H⁺-ATPase, Ca²⁺-ATPase, and cytochrome oxidase (CCO). Correlation analysis revealed a close relationship between storage quality and energy metabolism levels. In conclusion, low-temperature storage enhances the storability of cattail by inducing the activities of energy metabolism-related enzymes to maintain a higher energy status. These findings provide a theoretical basis for combining low-temperature storage with other preservation technologies to preserve cattail.
