Abstract

The work aims to study the effects of the common storage and static modified atmosphere packaging (the volume fractions of O2 and CO2 were respectively 5% and 30%) and dynamic modified atmosphere packaging (the volume fractions of O2 and CO2 were respectively changed to 5% and 30% after stored in the environment where the volume fractions of O2 and CO2 were respectively 5% and 50%) at 1 ℃ on the physiology quality and storability of the postharvest blueberry. Meanwhile, the activity of enzymatic defense system and resistance related enzymes, the concentration of antioxidants in the non-enzymatic defense system as well as respiration rate and fruit firmness were measured every 7 days. The results showed that, compared with the common storage, the dynamic modified atmosphere (DMA) and static modified atmosphere (SMA) stimulated the defense system of the fruit. However, the DMA could improve the activities of peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in a better way, and effectively control the decrease of GSH, slow down the decreased content of vitamin C and the generation rate of MDA, inhibit the activity of PPO, and effectively inhibit the browning and spoilage of blueberry. Dynamic modified atmosphere storage can effectively control the blueberry aging and corruption, maintainthe originalflavor of the fruit, and prolongthe storage period and shelf life of blueberry.
