ABSTRACT
Mass loss from fresh produce is linked to a reduction of its aesthetic value. However, a relationship between mass loss and biochemical quality parameters at different storage conditions has not been widely explored. Therefore, the current study is designed with the objectives to determine the behavior of fruit quality parameters and a relationship between fruit mass loss and fruit quality at two different storage conditions. Sweet orange fruit stored in a zero energy cool chamber (ZECC) had greater shelf-life of more than 15â¯days, fruit size (62.40â¯mm) and peel (35.15%) and lower mass loss (4.94%), juice (32.19%) and electrical conductivity (EC) (2.06â¯S/m) as compared to ambient conditions in laboratory during 25â¯days of storage. In ZECC, only EC was positively correlated (râ¯= 0.57) with mass loss, whereas at room temperature EC (râ¯= 0.76), total soluble solids (TSS) (râ¯= 0.60) and fruit internal temperature (râ¯= 0.64) were positively and peel (%) (râ¯= -0.52) and fruit diameter (râ¯= -0.49) were negatively correlated with mass loss. Correlation of combined storage conditions revealed that EC (râ¯= 0.47) and TSS (râ¯= 0.50) were positively and peel (%) (râ¯= -0.77) and fruit diameter (râ¯= -0.55) were negatively correlated with mass loss (%). The principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the scores of room temperature were strongly associated with TSS, pH, EC, mass loss (%), juice (%) and internal temperature (°C), whereas scores of ZECC were strongly associated with pulp (%), ascorbic acid (mg 100â¯mL-1), acidity (%), and fruit diameter (mm).
