Study on the physiology of postharvest softening of Diospyros kaki fruits.

Persimmon fruits stored at room temperature (10-20 deg C) were studied. Fruit firmness decreased linearly during storage and reached a minimum at 4 weeks. Fruit crude fibre, propectin, tannin and protein contents, and pectinesterase activity decreased with softening, but soluble pectin content and cellulase and polygalacturonase activities increased. After storage for 5 weeks, ethylene evolution and respiration rate peaked. Once the respiration peak had appeared, the fruits were completely softened.
