摘要

Sweet cherries are very perishable, owing to rapid softening rates associatedto significant deterioration of fruit. Ripening-related firmness loss is generallyattributed to enzyme-catalysed modifications in cell wall composition andstructure, but some experimental evidence suggests that non-enzymic mechanismsmay be also involved in the process. In this study, ‘Sweet Heart’ cherries werepicked at commercial maturity and kept at 0 oC during 15 or 30 days, followed byup to 3 days at 20 oC to simulate commercial shelf life. Cell wall materials wereextracted, fractionated and analysed, and some cell wall-modifying enzymeactivities were assessed for a possible role on firmness loss and overalldeterioration of fruit. Radical scavenging activity (RSA) and both reduced andoxidised ascorbate contents were also analysed in each case. Regression analysisrevealed that firmness was associated to reduced ascorbate and RSA, in turninversely correlated to decay and weight loss. Higher firmness levels were foundfor fruit displaying higher RSA and yields of the cell wall fractions containingcovalently-bound pectins and hemicelluloses, while decay correlated inverselywith RSA and reduced ascorbate content. Polygalacturonase (PG) and pectatelyase (PL) activities were related to solubilisation of cell wall pectins andinversely to reduced ascorbate, but not to firmness-contributing cell wall fractions,which correlated rather to enzyme activities acting on pectin side-chains that control the access to substrates of backbone-degrading enzymes. Data suggest thatantioxidant status may play a major role in modulating cell wall disassembly ofsweet cherry fruit.
