The study found that palmitic acid (PA) can inhibit stem browning in freshly harvested mini-Chinese cabbage and reduce its respiration, electrolyte leakage, weight loss, and malondialdehyde (MDA) level during storage at 25 degrees C for 5 days. PA treatment increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the level of phenolics and flavonoids. Therefore, treating mini-Chinese cabbage with PA is an effective method for delaying stem browning and maintaining the physiological quality of freshly harvested mini-Chinese cabbage.
The effect of palmitic acid (PA) on stem browning was investigated in freshly harvested mini-Chinese cabbage (Brassica pekinensis). Results indicated that concentrations of PA ranging from 0.03 g L-1 to 0.05 g L-1 inhibited stem browning and decreased the rate of respiration, electrolyte leakage, and weight loss, as well as the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in freshly harvested mini-Chinese cabbage stored at 25 degrees C for 5 d. The PA treatment enhanced the activity of antioxidant enzymes (ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL) and phenylalamine ammonia lyase (PAL)), and inhibited the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO). The PA treatment also increased the level of several phenolics (chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, catechin, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and cinnamic acid) and flavonoids (quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin). In summary, results indicate that treatment of mini-Chinese cabbage with PA represents an effective method for delaying stem browning and maintaining the physiological quality of freshly harvested mini-Chinese cabbage due to the ability of PA to enhance antioxidant enzyme activity and the level of phenolics and flavonoids during 5 d.
