Anthracnose of papaya fruit caused by the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is one of the most economically important postharvest diseases. Hot water immersion (HW) and calcium chloride (Ca) treatments have been used to control papaya postharvest diseases; however, the effect of the combination HW-Ca on the pathogen growth and the development of the disease in infected papaya fruit has been scarcely studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the HW-Ca treatment on the in vitro growth of C. gloesporioides conidia and the quality of infected papaya. In vitro, the HW-Ca treated conidia showed reduced mycelial growth and germination. In vivo, the HW-Ca treatment of infected papaya delayed for 5 days the onset of the anthracnose symptoms and improved the papaya postharvest quality. The combined treatment HW-Ca was better than any of the individual treatments to inhibit the in vitro development of C. gloeosporioides and to reduce the negative effects of papaya anthracnose.

Southeast Asia, a typical tropical region, plays an important role in exporting a variety of fruits worldwide. The market for fresh fruits has been growing consistently, and this is a chance for Southeast Asian countries to increase their national income. However, export of tropical fruits has limitations such as a short shelf life and difficulty in maintaining the quality because of tropical climate conditions and undeveloped postharvest technologies in Southeast Asia. An important objective for developing postharvest technologies is to extend the shelf life of fresh fruits without deterioration in fruit quality. Therefore, it is essential to determine factors that affect the shelf life of fruits. The shelf life of tropical fruits is significantly dependent on the inherent properties of the fruits, extrinsic conditions, postharvest treatment, and microbial contamination. Recently, Southeast Asian countries have supported agricultural research groups for developing new postharvest technologies and minimizing postharvest losses and maintaining export fruit quality so that the total sales of tropical fruit farms can increase. This review introduces how the primary factors for extending the shelf life of tropical fruits can be determined and discusses the development of postharvest technologies for tropical fruits in Southeast Asian countries.

신선 과일 및 채소의 수확 후 관리 기술은 2000년대까지 출원의 증가와 감소를 반복하는 경향을 보이다가 2010년대에 들어서 출원인 및 출원 건수가 증가하는 증가세를 나타내고 있어, 시대의 요구가 높은 기술임을 알 수 있다. 신선과일 및 채소의 포장 기술에 대한 주요 특허출원은 일본기업이 가장 많은 특허를 출원하였으며 신선 과일의 저장기술은 미국 등 다국적 기업이 주도하고 있으며 주로 산업체와 국가 연구기관에서 다수의 특허를 보유하고 있어 연구개발 및 특허 활동이 활발히 이루어지고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 신선 과일, 채소 및 버섯의 수확 후 관리 기술에 대한 특허 확보 전략으로는 품목 종류별 특성에 기인하여 수확 후 전처리, 수송, 저장, 포장에 최적화된 기술을 개발하여 특허를 확보하거나, 상업화가 가능하고 효율 특성이 현저한 기술에 대하여 개발 및 특허 확보가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

BACKGROUND: Spoilage fungi can reduce the shelf life of fresh fruits and cause economic losses by lowering quality. Especially, mulberry fruits have high sensitivity to fungal attack due to their high water content (> 70%) and soft texture. In addition, the surface of these fruits is prone to damage during harvesting and postharvest handling. However, any study on postharvest spoilage fungi in mulberry fruit has not been reported in Korea. This study aimed to examine the spoilage fungi occurring in mulberry fruits during storage after harvest. METHODS AND RESULTS: In this study, we isolated postharvest spoilage fungi from mulberry fruits stored in refrigerator (fresh fruits) and deep-freezer (frozen fruits) and identified them. In the phylogenetic analysis based on comparisons of the ITS rDNA sequences, the 18 spoilage fungi isolated from mulberry fruits and the 25 reference sequences were largely divided into seven groups that were subsequently verified by high bootstrap analysis of 73 to 100. Alternaria spp. including A. alternate and A. tenuissima, were the most frequently isolated fungi among the spoilage isolates: its occurrence was the highest among the 18 isolates (38.9%). CONCLUSION: The findings of this study will be helpful for increasing the shelf life of mulberry fruits through the application of appropriate control measures against infection by spoilage fungi during storage.

Purpose: Fruit and vegetable production is a fast-growing sector in East Africa, and it bears considerable local and international market potential. In an effort to analyze the challenges within this sector and suggest possible solutions, this study reviews the postharvest handling technologies commonly used with fruits and vegetables in East Africa. Methods: During the course of this study, small-scale farmers were identified as the most prominent producers of fruit and vegetable crops in the region. Results: We found that many of these small-scale farmers employed relative simple and inexpensive techniques in handling their limited volumes of produce. Several factors could be addressed to reduce postharvest losses, including weak policies, inferior infrastructure, and poor market strategies. However, the lack of basic knowledge (including demographic, scientific, and economic knowledge) among the stakeholders (e.g., researchers, farmers, governments, nongovernment organizations, and merchants) on how to develop, implement, use, and sustain the recommended handling technologies is probably the most problematic. Conclusions: We recommend that high priority be placed on closing the knowledge gap, which could enhance the efforts of all the stakeholders to address and reduce postharvest losses.

신선편이 단호박 원료의 수확 후 적정 후숙 기간과 신선편이 가공 후 포장방법을 구명하고자 연구를 수행하였다. 소형 단호박 '보짱'을 수확하여 1주, 2주 후숙시킨 다음 1차 수돗물 세척 후 $100{\mu}L/L$의 염소수에 살균소독 세척한 다음 절단하여 $80{\mu}m$ PE/Ny 필름에 진공 및 밀봉포장 하여 $5^{\circ}C$에서 21일간 저장하였다. 단호박의 후숙기간은 신선편이 가공 후 포장내부의 기체 조성 및 품질에 영향을 미쳤다. 단호박 원료 2주 후숙 처리는 1주 후숙 처리보다 신선편이 제품 저장 중 $CO_2$ 농도가 2.2~5.0 kPa 낮았고, 저장 7일이후 경도가 낮게 나타났으며, 당도는 2주 후숙이 1주 후숙처리 보다 2~3% 높게 나타났다. 그리고 적색도(Hunter a)도 2주 후숙이 1주 후숙보다 높게 나타났고, 색과 외관에 대한 관능점수가 높아 기호성이 우수하였으며, 이취발생도 적어 저장 3주까지 상품성을 유지하였다. 그리고 밀봉포장은 진공포장보다 미생물 수가 적고, 외관에 대한 관능적 점수가 높게 나타났다. 따라서 단호박을 수확 후 2주 후숙한 다음 신선편이 가공하여 밀봉포장하는 것이 신선편이 단호박의 품질을 높일 수 있는 방법으로 판단되었다.

The characteristics of vibrational stress (shock and vibration) during transport and the possibility of damage to the packaged pears by functional PLA tray were investigated. And this study was conducted to analyze how environmental conditions by simulated transport environment affect quality factors such as weight loss (%) and soluble solid content (SSC, %), and firmness (bioyield strength, kPa) of packaged pears by PLA tray and Expanded PET foam pad (Group 1), EPE cushion cup pad and net (Group 2) for exporting. Pears with or without vibration stress were stored for 30 days at low temperatures (5 ± 0.8℃, 80 ± 5% relative humidity). There was the statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) between pears with and without vibration stress for weight loss, soluble solid content, and firmness (bioyield strength) after 30 days storage. Vibration stress accelerated pear quality deterioration during storage, resulting in increased weight loss, soluble solids content, and reduced hardness. The firmness (bioyield strength) and weight changes of pears with PLA trays were smaller than those of conventional packaging box systems. It was determined that the firmness of agricultural products was a quality factor closely related to the storage period and that PLA could be applied.
