Abstract:

Browning of pear flesh is an important problem affecting its quality. In this experiment,Browning varieties‘Baozhu’,‘Pingguoli’and non-browning varieties‘Fengshui’,‘Honghuada’were used to study the physiological mechanism of pear flesh browning,by measuring the changes of browning degree,phenolics and related enzyme activities during fruit development. The results showed that the browning degree,phenolic content and some enzyme activities of pear flesh decreased gradually with The growth and development of the fruit. Arbutin,chlorogenic acid and epicatechin were the main phenolic compounds in pear fruit from young fruit stage to mature fruit stage,accounting for more than 90% of the total phenolic content. The contents of arbutin and chlorogenic acid in the fruits of the two browning varieties were higher than those of the two non-browning varieties. According to the correlation analysis between fruit browning degree and phenolic substance content,single phenolic substance had little effect on fruit browning in young fruit stage,and phenolic substance strongly correlated with fruit browning in late fruit growth were arbutin,catechin,chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid. In the process of fruit growth and development,the PPO,PAL activities and total phenol content of browning varieties were higher than those of non-browning varieties. The PPO activity of the browning varieties was significantly different from that of the non-browning varieties at young fruit stage(P < 0.05),and it was not significantly different at mature fruit stage. The activities of PPO and PAL were significantly correlated with the contents of most phenolic substances in the fruits of the four varieties. The study on fruit browning at different development stages should take PPO activity and total phenolic content into consideration.

Key words: pear, browning, phenolics, enzyme activity, dynamic change
