摘要: Pericarp browning is a major factor to limit storage and transportation of postharvest litchi fruit. Experiments were conducted firstly to determine variations in contents of browning substrate (-)epicatechin in pericarp tissues Of litchi fruit during development. Changes in the activities of polyphenoloxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD) and phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) in association with the synthesis or oxidation of (-)-epicatechin were also examined. (-)-Epicatechin content tended to decrease during fruit development. PAL activity had a high level at the initial stage of fruit development, then decreased rapidly, and Finally increased slightly, which was in agreement with the variation in (-)epicatechin content. The higher contents of total phenolics and (-)-epicatechin of fruit of 'Nuomici' than 'Feizixiao' were also related to the higher PAL activity. PPO had a similar change to PAL in activity, but POD activity slowly decreased at the early fruit development and then increased markedly. It is suggested that (-)-epicatechin content might be largely regulated by PAL activity. This study Could help to understand the variations in the content of the browning substrate and the activities of some substrate-related enzymes of litchi fruit during development and then control better pericarp browning of harvested litchi fruit by the application of appropriate preharvest treatments.
