Abstract

In order to investigate the effects of different harvest times on the storability and quality of ‘Hongxin’ guava (Psidium guajava) fruit, the physiological characteristics of the harvested fruits were studied. ‘Hongxin’ guava cultivated in Zhangzhou, Fujian were used as the experimental material. The three harvest dates chosen for the experiment were 95 d after anthesis (harvest time Ⅰ), 105 d (harvest time Ⅱ) and 115 d (harvest time Ⅲ). The commercially acceptable fruit rate, weight loss rate, respiration intensity, relative electrical conductivity, hue angle, hardness, soluble solids, titratable acid, vitamin C and total sugar content of ‘Hongxin’ guava fruits on different harvest times were estimated during storage at room temperature (25±1 ℃) and 85% relative humidity. The results showed that the ‘Hongxin’ guava fruit softened rapidly and the peel color changed from green to yellow quickly after harvest. With increasing storage time, the commercially acceptable fruit rate, hardness, hue angle, titratable acid, vitamin C and total sugar of guava fruit decreased whereas the weight loss rate and the relative permeability of cell membrane increased. The ‘Hongxin’ guava fruit at harvest time Ⅰ showed better storability than harvest time Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Therefore, it was suitable to be harvested at harvest time Ⅰ for long storage and transport, whereas the other two harvest periods could be sold locally for ‘Hongxin’ guava fruit.
