During cold storage, CO2 production decreased and ethylene production increased slightly, while during shelf life storage, CO2 production increased and ethylene production increased more sharply. Firmness increased during cold storage and remained stable during shelf life storage. The content of total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, total carotenoids, and lipo-antioxidant activity (L-TAA) remained stable under both storage conditions.
Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) fruit from 'Orito' cultivar were stored at 2 degrees C and 90% RH for 28 days plus three days at 20 degrees C (shelf life, SL). This research analysed the changes in fruit quality parameters (weight loss, firmness, color, titratable acidity, and total soluble solids), ethylene production, respiration rate, antioxidant activity and bioactive compounds (total phenols and carotenoids) of cactus pear fruit during cold and shelf life storage. Under cold conditions, CO2 production decreased, and ethylene production increased slightly, while under shelf life conditions CO2 production increased and ethylene production increased more sharply. Firmness increased under cold conditions and did not change during shelf life period. The content of total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, total carotenoids, and lipo-antioxidant activity (L-TAA) remained stable under both conservation conditions. However, hydro-antioxidant activity (H-TAA) increased under both cold and shelf life conditions, and total phenols remained stable during cold storage and increased under shelf life conditions. Besides, weight loss was acceptable under both storage conditions, and color changes were more pronounced under shelf life storage. These results show that the marketability of cactus pear fruit from 'Orito' cultivar was acceptable until the end of the storage under cold and shelf life conditions.
