Postharvest pericarp browning of lychee (Litchi chinensis Sonn.).

Within 24-48 h of harvesting litchi fruits (which are non-climacteric) the red pericarp turns brown. Research into the possible mechanism controlling this browning is reviewed, with particular reference to polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase degradation of the anthocyanin pigments. Recent research has indicated the importance of vacuolar pH in pigment degradation. Lowering the pericarp pH in vivo reverses the browning process.
