Article Synopsis
- * Objective measurements like total soluble solids (Brix) and percent acidity (Acid) are important, but these parameters can be affected by various fruit metabolites.
- * This study uses nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to analyze the relationship between Brix/Acid tests and metabolite levels in citrus during cold storage, finding significant correlations that suggest metabolomics could enhance fruit quality control.
Millions of citrus products are wasted every year due to postharvest fungal infections. To minimize fungal infections, packhouses utilize aqueous applications of fungicides to prevent infections that occur during harvest. The most prominent fungal pathogens of citrus fruit are commonly treated with imazalil sulfate (IMZ) due to its efficacy for controlling these pathogens at low cost and ease of handling.
