Sodium dichloroisocyanurate delays ripening and senescence of banana fruit during storage.
Chemistry Central Journal 2018 December 6
Banana as a typical climacteric fruit soften rapidly, resulting in a very short shelf life after harvest. Sodium dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC) is reported to be an effectively antibacterial compound. Here, we investigated the effects of NaDCC on ripening and senescence of harvested banana fruit at physiological and molecular levels. Application of 200 mg L-1 NaDCC solution effectively inhibited the ripening and senescence of banana fruit after harvest. NaDCC treatment reduced greatly ethylene production rate and expressions of genes encoding 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthetase, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase, ethylene-responsive transcription factor and EIN3-binding F-box protein. Meanwhile, NaDCC treatment down-regulated markedly the expressions of xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase and pectinesterase genes. Furthermore, NaDCC treatment affected significantly the accumulation of ripening-related primary metabolites such as sugars and organic acids. Additionally, NaDCC treatment decreased the production of hydroxyl radical and increased 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity, reducing power and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. In conclusion, NaDCC delayed effectively the ripening and senescence of harvested banana fruit via the reduced ethylene effect and enhanced antioxidant activity.
