Calcium and fruit storage potential.

ABSTRACT

Numerous senescence and physiological disorders in horticultural crops are related to calcium deficiency and considerable research effort has been invested to harness the beneficial effects of calcium for quality maintenance and shelf life extension of fruits and vegetables. However, except for apples, no satisfactory commercially-applicable methods of postharvest calcium treatment of fruits and vegetables are currently available. The development of calcium application techniques (pre- and postharvest); the effects of calcium applied to individual commodities (apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, strawberries, blackberries, avocados, mangoes, jackfruits, mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) and tomatoes); and calcium in relation to disease resistance and chilling injury are reviewed. It is suggested that systematic studies of the effects of calcium and of calcium application techniques are required to develop treatment methods with commercial potential.
