Effect of postharvest handling on fruit quality, mass loss and respiration rate of litchi.

The effects of 98 deg C boiling water dip, sulfur fumigation combined with acid dip, packing methods and storage conditions on fruit quality, mass loss and respiration rate of litchi (Litchi chinensis cv. Heiye) were investigated. Results showed that boiling water dip and sulfur fumigation in combination with acid dip improved the acidity of pericarp without influence on the total soluble solids and acidity of pulp. Packing methods significantly affected mass loss. No climacteric peak was detected in litchi fruits regardless of handling technology. The respiration rate decreased with the increase of fruit mass loss at the earlier stage of storage, but tended to be stable at the later stage.
