摘要: 采后叶绿素降解造成绿叶蔬菜失绿,直接影响产品的感官品质和货架寿命。以研究芥蓝采后叶绿素降解和脱镁叶绿素酶(PPH)之间的关系为目的,考察了温度以及短波紫外线(UV-C)辐照对贮藏过程中芥蓝叶绿素含量及脱镁叶绿素酶活性变化的影响。结果表明常温22℃贮藏时,PPH活性在前期快速上升,第3d时约为第0d的200%,而在低温4℃时酶活仅为第0d的135%,第3d时叶绿素a的含量是常温时的2.8倍;UV-C辐照降低了PPH活性,第1dPPH酶活仅上升14%,而对照则上升50%,第5d时叶绿素a的含量是对照的1.3倍。因此低温和UV-C辐照抑制了贮藏过程中PPH酶活性的快速上升,从而降低了叶绿素降解的速度。Abstract: The degreening due to the breakdown of chlorophyll affects the quality and shelf life of the postharvest vegetables.In order to investigate the relationship between chlorophyll degradation and pheophytinase ( PPH) activity of postharvest Chinese kale, the changes of chlorophyll content and PPH activity were investigated under different temperature storage and ultraviolet C ( UV - C ) irradiation. The results showed that the PPH activity increased rapidly under 22℃ storage.The activity on the 3d was 200% of that on the 0d whereas that percentage was 135% under 4℃ storage.The chlorophyll a content under 4℃ storage was 2.8 fold of that under 22℃ storage. The UV - C irradiation decreased the PPH activity. The activity increase 14% on the first day, whereas that percentage was 50% without UV-C treatment.The chlorophyll a content was 1.3 fold compared with that of control on the 5d. Therefore the low temperature and UV- C irradiation inhibited the rapid increase of PPH activity and decrease the chlorophyll breakdown.
