Overview

Observational analysis demonstrates exogenous melatonin delays ripening and maintains quality in pineapples, suggesting a novel preservation approach.

Key Points

  • Pineapples treated with exogenous melatonin showed delayed ripening, enhancing overall quality during storage.
  • The application of melatonin maintained firmness and reduced spoilage, with a significant improvement in fruit appearance after 14 days.
  • Observational analysis assessed pineapples stored under controlled conditions, where melatonin was applied before storage.
  • This technique could provide a promising method for extending shelf life; further studies are needed.
