Non-ethylene, non-respiratory volatiles in harvested fruits and vegetables: their occurrence, biological activity and control

This review examines the occurrence of organic volatiles which may have physiological and/or quality effects on fresh produce. Accumulations of terpenes, carboxylic acids, alcohols, aldehydes, sulfur compounds, ammonia and jasmonates are discussed. Factors influencing volatile accumulation are considered. Conventional approaches for removing volatiles are evaluated and an approach involving enhanced product transpiration is proposed. A hypothesis regarding this modified, selective approach to volatiles control is presented. In summary, it is concluded that further work on effects of non-ethylene volatiles is needed and selective approaches to volatile removal be developed.
