Abstract:

To survey the effect of calcium treatment on the microstructure,wax composition of the fruit skin and aroma emission of pear cultivar‘Nanguoli',the fruits at 15 d before commercial maturity date were treated by 0.04 kg · L-1 calcium chloride. As a result,the significant differences of microstructure,cell arrangement and wax composition were observed between the fruit with calcium treatment and control(sprayed water)at commercial maturity and five days during post-maturity. In detail,the abscission of wax layer and the intercellular spaces of epidermal cells were larger in the fruit with calcium treatment compared to the control. However,the intactness of lenticels in the fruit with calcium treatment were better than that in the control fruit. The wax composition of fruit skin of‘Nanguoli'pear comprised by fatty acids,esters,fatty alcohol,aldehydes,alkanes,phenols and alkenes. Of these compounds,fatty acids,Fatty alcohol,alkanes and aldehydes had higher contents than the other compounds. Noteworthy,the contents of esters,fatty acids and aldehydes were increased in the fruits with calcium treatment compared to the control. The total contents of volatile aroma compounds in calcium-treated fruit were 3 959.75 and 6 676.80 ng · g-1 at commercial ripening stage and five days during post-maturity,respectively,which were 20.92% and 24.16% higher than those of the control. These results suggest that calcium treatment promotes aroma emission by affecting the microstructure and wax composition of the fruit skin of‘Nanguoli'pear.
