? 2022This study investigated the effect of acidic electrolyzed water (AEW) on the inhibition of pulp breakdown of postharvest longan fruit. The harvested longan fruit were immersed in AEW (pH 2.5 and available chlorine concentration 80 mg L?1) for 10 min, then air-dried and stored at 25 °C. It was revealed that the AEW treatment reduced the cell membrane permeability and breakdown incidence of pulp by modulating membrane lipid metabolism. Compared to the untreated fruit, AEW treatment significantly suppressed the activities of lipoxygenase (LOX), lipase, and phospholipase D (PLD), down-regulated the expression of DlPLD1, DlPLD2, Dllipase1, Dllipase2, DlLOX1 and DlLOX2, and reduced the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) and the accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA). In addition, a lower saturated fatty acids (SFAs) proportion, but a higher unsaturated fatty acids (USFAs) proportion, the index of unsaturated fatty (IUFA), and unsaturated to saturated fatty acids ratio (U/S) were found in AEW-treated longan fruit. These findings indicated that AEW treatment inhibited the activities of membrane lipid metabolism-related enzymes (LOX, lipase, and PLD) and their expressions of associated genes, and altered the cell membrane lipid composition, which was conductive to maintaining the integrity of cell membrane, ultimately alleviating the progress of pulp breakdown in harvested longan fruit. Consequently, AEW treatment may be a reliable method to reduce the occurrence of pulp breakdown and improve the storability of harvested longan fruit.
