Signature: Date: December 2015 Copyright © 2015 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za SUMMARY The development of a postharvest method for controlling superficial scald, maintaining quality and reducing postharvest losses of ‘Granny Smith’ apples is essential in maintaining the competitiveness of the South African apple industry. Previously, the South African apple industry relied on diphenylamine (DPA) for controlling scald disorder; however, increasing consumer concerns and reductions in maximum residue levels (MRLs) have highlighted the urgent need for alternative control strategies. Currently, there is no effective non-chemical method for controlling superficial scald for South African apple producers. The overall aims of this study were (a) to examine the potential of dynamic controlled atmospheres (DCA) in controlling superficial scald in apples, and (b) to investigate the mechanism of action of DCA in controlling scald, should it be effective. To get a deeper understanding of superficial scald etiology and physiological dynamics of apples, studies in paper 2 and 3 were conducted. In paper 2, studies on antioxidants contents and phytochemical properties of apples harvested at pre-optimal and optimal maturity were conducted. Significant increases in fruit antioxidant capacity and ascorbic acid concentration occurred with increasing maturity. Fruit harvested at optimal maturity had lower total phenolic contents compared to pre-optimal maturity. Phenolic compounds including catechin and quercetin were also higher in pre-optimal compared to optimal maturity. In paper 3, an attempt was made to classify apples with different levels of scald severity based on metabolomics analysis. The results showed that ethylene, α- farnesene, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one (MHO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) increased with scald severity but declined in severely scalded fruit. Discriminant analysis successfully classified fruit based on scald severity. Ethylene, ROS and lipid peroxidation were identified as the major contributors in separating the five scald severity levels studied. Studies in paper 4 focused on whether DCA is effective in controlling superficial scald. The minimum period for the exposure of fruit to DCA before an extended shipment period of 10 weeks was also investigated. The results showed that DCA was highly effective in controlling scald for both pre-optimal and optimal harvested fruit. The results further demonstrated that DCA stored fruit can be shipped for 6 weeks; however, extending the shipping period up to 10 weeks might lead scald development and undesired fruit quality. Fruit stored in DCA before shipment generally had higher flesh firmness and ground colour. It was also shown that DCA inhibit scald by retarding the accumulation of scald-associated ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za metabolites such as α-farnesene and MHO. Paper 5 focused on the impact of DCA on ROS, antioxidant capacity and phytochemical properties of stored apples. Using principal component analysis, two clusters which could be identified as DCA and RA stored fruit were noticed. Compared to RA stored fruit associated with higher ROS and lipid peroxidation, fruit stored at DCA was characterized by higher contents of ascorbic acid, total phenolics and antioxidant pool. The research reported in paper 6 investigated the efficacy of repeated application of DCA on apples with high scald potential. During the marketing season, an unexpected demand of fruit often leads to the opening and resealing of storage chambers. Thus, the efficacy of a repeated DCA treatment after an interruption period at RA was investigated. Fruit were stored for up to 16 weeks in DCA with a 14 d interruption in RA at -0.5 °C, 95% RH. The results showed that efficacy of DCA was not significantly affected by the interruption. However, the development of 1% scald after 4 months of storage could be an economic setback for fruit producers. In paper 7, the influence of DCA on aroma volatiles was assessed. DCA stored fruit had significantly lower total amount of volatiles detected compared to fruit stored in RA. Notably, the production of 1-butanol, 1-hexanol and 1-hexen- ol by fruit stored in DCA were only 42%, 38% and 39%, respectively, of the amounts detected in the RA. The known characteristic flavour of ‘Granny Smith’ apples was attributed to the production of ethyl-2-methylbutyrate, ethyl hexanoate and hexyl acetate. The contribution of these three aroma volatiles was higher with increasing storage duration. In paper 8, the research identified effective variables that could be used to develop prediction models for superficial scald incidence in harvested ‘Granny Smith’ apples. Stepwise multiple regression found MHO, antioxidant capacity (FRAP), ascorbic acid and lipid peroxidation to be the best combination of predictive variables for scald. After validation, this combination gave a good prediction of scald incidence (R2 = 0.94). The identified variables proved to be effective regardless of fruit maturity status. The results from this thesis provide an alternative non-chemical postharvest technology for the South African apple industry. The study further provides insights on the mechanism of action of DCA in controlling scald and maintaining fruit postharvest quality of ‘Granny Smith’ apples. Overall, the results contained in this thesis will be very instrumental in future optimisation of DCA technology in the apple industry, and provides a valuable guide for improved the storage of apples susceptible to superficial scald. iii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za OPSOMMING Die ontwikkeling van ’n na-oes metode vir die beheer van oppervlakkige brandvlek, die behoud van gehalte en die vermindering van na-oes verliese van die ‘Granny Smith’ appel is belangrik as Suid-Afrika kompeterend wil bly in die appelindustrie. In die verlede het die Suid-Afrikaanse appelindustrie difenielamien (DPA) benut vir die beheer van oppervlakkige brandvlek maar die groeiende bekommernis van verbruikers en die vermindering in maksimum residuvlakke het die behoefte aan alternatiewe beheerstrategieë beklemtoon. Daar is tans geen alternatiewe nie-chemiese metodes wat Suid-Afrikaanse appelboere kan gebruik om oppervlakkige brandvlek te beheer nie. Die doel met hierdie navorsing is (a) om die potensiaal van dinamies beheerde atmosfeer (DBA) en die beheer van oppervlakkige brandvlek in appels te ondersoek, en (b) om die meganisme van aksie van DBA te ondersoek, indien dit wel effektief bevind word in die beheer van oppervlakkige brandvlek in appels. Die navorsing wat in Artikels 2 en 3 opgeteken is, is gedoen om ’n dieper begrip van oppervlakkige brandvlek etiologie en die fisiologiese dinamika van appels te bekom. In Artikel 2 is die bevindings oor die chemiese kenmerke van appels wat geoes is by pre- optimale en optimale oesrypehied, opgeteken. Betekenisvolle vermederinge in die vrugte se antiodatiewe status en askorbiensuur konsentrasie vind met volwassenheid plaas. Vrugte wat by optimale rypheid geoes word het ’n laer totale fenoliese inhoud vergeleke met vrugte wat by pre-optimale volwassenheid gepluk word. Fenoliese samestellings insluitende catechin en quercetin is ook hoër by volwasse vrugte. In die navorsing wat in Artikel 3 opgeteken is, is daar gepoog om appels met verskillende vlakke van brandvlek deur middel van metabolomiese analise te klassifiseer. Die resultate toon dat etileen, α-farnesene, 6-metiel-5- hepten-2-een (MHO) en die reaktiewe suurstof spesie (RSS) toeneem hoe erger die brandvlek raak maar afneem in erg gebrandvlekde vrugte. Die vrugte is suksesvol geklassifiseer volgens hoe erg die brandvlek voorgekom het deur middel van onderskeidende ontledings. Etileen, RSS en lipied peroksidasie is identifiseer as die hoof bydraers tot die onderskeiding van die vyf brandvlek vlakke wat bestudeer is. In die studie wat in Artikel 4 opgeteken is, is die fokus op of dinamiese beheeranaliese, oppervlakkige brandvlek doeltreffend kan beheer. Die minimum periode vir die blootstelling van vrugte aan dinamies beheerde atmosfeer voor ’n uitgebreide verskepings periode van 10 weke is ook ondersoek. Die resultate toon dat dinamies beheerde atmosfeer hoogs effektief is in die beheer van brandvlek beide in vrugte wat voor die optimale tyd of op iv Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za die optimale tyd geoes is. Die resultate het ook getoon dat vrugte wat in ’n dinamies beheerde atmosfeer gestoor is, vir ses weke verskeep kan word; maar dat as die periode tot tien weke verleng word, brandvlek kan ontwikkel en die gehalte van die vrugte kan afneem. Vrugte wat voor verskeping in DBA gestoor is, is fermer en die agtergrondkleur is beter behou. Daar is ook getoon dat DBA brandvlek ontmoedig deur

  • The Social and Cultural Value of the Apple and the Orchard in Victorian England
    The social and cultural value of the apple and the orchard in Victorian England Joanna Crosby A thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. Department of History University of Essex Date of submission with corrections – January 2021 (Total word count: 79,840) Joanna Crosby January 2021 Abstract This thesis argues that the apple and the orchard were of greater significance to the Victorians than has been previously realised. This thesis brings together an investigation into the economic value of the apple crop and its associated goods and services, with an exploration of how the apple and the orchard were represented and received in cultural and social constructs. This thesis argues that the economic worth of the apple was greater than the commodity value of the raw crop of apples. That value itself has been underestimated due to the difficulties of calculating the amount of land used for orchards and the profit obtainable. The apple had a wider economic value, helping to expand the sectors of commercial horticulture, domestic gardening and food. Representations of the apple and of orchards drew on Classical landscapes, Christian allegory or the pre-Christian cultures in Europe to give authority to the meanings of an apple placed in a painting. These associations were brought together in the writing about, and the actual performance of, wassailing in the orchards at Christmas. The conclusions state that the economic value of the apple was greater than had been previously thought, and that the network of apple-related trades and livelihoods was extensive. The conclusions from the social and cultural investigation were that the appreciation of the apple was at its height in Victorian England, when the Victorians responded to increasing industrialisation and urban growth by using the apple symbolically to represent values of ‘Englishness’ through an idealised rural past.
