Effect ofMaturity Stages on Internal Browning of Pineapple Fruits cv. ‘Trad Sri Thong’

Effect of maturity stages on internal browning of pineapple fruits cv. ‘Trad Sri Thong’was investigated. Fruits were harvested at mature green, ¼ ripe and½ripe stages in Pluak Daeng, Rayong province, then stored at 13 OC, 85 % RH for 4 weeks. The result showed thatthe stages of maturity significantly affected internal browning, electrolyte leakage, activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and storage life of pineapple fruits (P<0.01). Pineapple fruits harvested at ½ ripe stage exhibited the internal browning score 2 within 2 weeks of storage, and had higher electrolyte leakage (53.05 %) and activity of PPO (4.45 DOD410 /min•mg protein) than the mature green fruits which reached internal browning score 2 in week 3. Additionally, electrolyte leakage and PPO activity of the mature green pineapple fruits were 42.11and3.21 DOD410 /min•mg protein, respectively. The storage life of pineapple fruits was determined by 50% internal browning symptom. The ¼ ripe and ½ ripe stages had shorter storage life of 14 days of storage than the mature green fruits which had 21 day of storage.
