Effect of short anoxia exposure on metabolic changes of persimmon fruits (Diospyros kaki L.).

Persimmon fruits (cultivars Fuji and Hachiya) harvested on 21 October 1996 were stored at 10 deg C for 4 days and then held in 99.9% CO2 or 99.9% N2 at 20 deg C for 24 h followed by a return to normal (air) conditions at 1 deg C. Untreated (control) samples were kept at 20 deg C for 24 h and then stored at 1 deg C. Acetaldehyde content increased during storage in all fruits, but particularly in fruits from the CO2 treatment. After 2 days, fruits treated with N2 had accumulated greater amounts of ethanol than fruits treated with CO2. Anaerobic conditions promoted astringency removal. Faster astringency removal was observed in CO2-treated fruits than in N2-treated fruits, but CO2 treatment caused internal browning. The ratio between polymeric (water-insoluble) and oligomeric (soluble) polyphenols correlated with the degree of astringency. Total phenols and the ratio between oligo- and polymeric tannin molecules decreased after treatment.
