Abstract

This study was conducted to develop fresh-cut and processed pears. After treatment of citric acid (1%) or N-acetylcysteine (0.2 M), and co-treatment of citric acid (1%) and N-acetylcysteine (0.2 M) into the pears c.v. 'Wonhwang', the quality changes of pears during cold storage ($1^{\circ}C$) for 10 days were investigated respectively. Pear quality and the taste of pears increased much more in those treated with anti-browning agents than those in the control group at 10 days after anti-browning treatment and cold storage. Changes in Hunter b values of pears treated with 0.2 M N-acetylcysteine were insignificant. Those with Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and ethylene production were had the most decreased effects and those with the phenolics compound contents were the most lowered. Firmness of fruits increased in treatment of 0.2 M N-acetylcysteine + 1% citric acid solution. The amount of respiration decreased in the application of 1% citric acid solution. Consequently, fruit freshness can be maintained more effectively by the treatment of the anti-browning agent compared to non-treatment, even if the effectiveness were different among different kinds of anti-browning agents.
