Oxalic acid alleviates chilling injury in peach fruit by regulating energy metabolism and fatty acid contents.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the alleviation in chilling injury by OA may be due to enhanced enzyme activities related to energy metabolism and higher levels of energy status and unsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disinfecting agents for controlling fruit and vegetable diseases after harvest
TL;DR: A review of the major postharvest disinfectants available for usage today can be found in this article, which includes historical, chemical, and regulatory background on the major disinfectants.

Assessment of organic acid and sugar composition in apricot, plumcot, plum, and peach during fruit development
TL;DR: In this paper, the content of organic acids and sugars, as well as parameters of fruit quality (weight, dimensions, firmness, total soluble solids, and total acidity) in Prunus fruits during fruit development were determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of graft copolymer of chitosan and salicylic acid on reducing rot of postharvest fruit and retarding cell wall degradation in grapefruit during storage.
TL;DR: Results suggested that graft copolymer application can be recognized as a postharvest technique to suppress rotting and delay softening through inhibiting solubilization of cell wall polysaccharides.
