Changes in firmness,color and correlation analysis of‘Jinxiu'peach fruit during storage at 25 ℃

【Objective】To reveal storage quality change of peach fruit during storage at 25 ℃.【Methods】Postharvest responses of yellow-flesh peach(cv. Jinxiu) with the application of conventional fertilizer and15,20 and 30 bags of bag-controlled release fertilizer were investigated on 0 d,4 d and 8 d after storageat 25 ℃ in 2012 and 2013,respectively.【Results】Both skin and flesh A* values increased significantly,and flesh firmness value decreased significantly,while L*,B*and Chroma(C*) values of both skin andflesh changed slightly in tested fruit stored at 25 ℃. No significant difference in harvest quality and stor-age potential at 25 ℃ among four fertilizer treatments was observed.【Conclusion】Both skin and flesh A*values were significantly inversely correlated with flesh firmness value during storage at 25 ℃.
