Abstract:

Harvested peach(Amygdalus persica)fruits were by ultrasound wave(50 kHz,200 W),CaCl_2(3%)immersion,or their combinations for 3 min.The active oxygen metabolism of the fruits stored at(10±2)℃ or(0±2)℃ was investigated.The results showed that at the two temperatures the combinations of ultrasound wave with calcium increased the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and catalase(CAT)of peach in various extents,efficiency of which was superior to those in the fruits treated with ultrasound wave or calcium,decreased the activities of peroxidase(POD),the production rate of superoxide anion radical(O-.2),or the contents of hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)at different periods of storage.There were no obvious differences of the parameters above among the treatments of fruits during the shelf life.

Key words: peach, ultrasound wave, calcium, reactive oxygen metabolism, storage
