Description

Kiwi fruit oxygenation ripening device and operation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of kiwi fruit ripening devices, relates to an oxygen-increasing ripening device for kiwi fruits and an operation method thereof, and particularly relates to a van-type kiwi fruit postharvest treatment device capable of realizing rapid temperature difference precooling before the kiwi fruits are warehoused and also realizing high-oxygen ripening after the kiwi fruits are delivered from the warehouse.
Background
The kiwi fruits are typical climacteric fruits, the fruit after-ripening runs through the whole process of transportation, storage, sale and consumption after picking, and in order to obtain good nutritional quality and edible impression, various factors such as temperature, humidity, CO2 concentration and the like in the whole physiological process of after-ripening need to be effectively regulated and controlled. However, because the after-ripening process of the kiwi fruits is long, and the uncertainty of the time period from shipment of the low-temperature refrigerator to eating of the kiwi fruits by the consumer is large, in order to ensure the sales quality, most of kiwi fruits bought by the consumer are not finished after-ripening, the hardness of the fruits is high, and the kiwi fruits cannot be eaten instantly. Meanwhile, as part of physiological processes of fruit after-ripening are finished in the links of transportation, business excess, consumption and the like, environmental factors are in an uncontrollable state, the fruit quality is difficult to achieve expectation, and the taste is poor. The process approaches of rapid precooling before warehousing, cold storage in the production period and rapid ripening after ex-warehouse are adopted, so that the controllability of the after-ripening process of the kiwi fruits can be effectively enhanced.
Precooling after picking can reduce the respiratory intensity and physiological metabolism level of the kiwi fruit, and is beneficial to callus at the fruit stem, thereby being convenient for long-term storage. At present, the pre-cooling of picked kiwi fruits is to place the picked kiwi fruits in a shade place and place the kiwi fruits for 2 to 3 days to remove field heat, and the method has the following defects: firstly, the precooling is long in time consumption and greatly influenced by weather conditions, microorganisms are easy to invade from the fruit stalks during the precooling, and the fruit rotting rate is increased; secondly, the temperature of the fruit cores cannot be reduced to the expected requirement, and the storage period of the kiwi fruits can be shortened due to respiratory heat of the fruit cores after the kiwi fruits are put in storage. Therefore, a device for quickly pre-cooling picked fruits is needed to be designed, so that the cooling rate and the cooling uniformity of the picked fruits are improved, and the physiological state of the warehoused fruits is ensured to be uniform.
Exogenous ethylene is an artificially synthesized plant hormone and can accelerate the after-ripening and softening of kiwi fruits. At present, the effect of rapidly ripening kiwi fruits by exogenous ethylene is influenced by fruit varieties, maturity, processing time, processing temperature, ethylene concentration and the like, is difficult to be matched with the internal ripening physiology of the kiwi fruits, excessive exogenous ethylene is adopted to cause residue, so that the kiwi fruits are over-ripened, the quality of the kiwi fruits is influenced, the shelf life is shortened, economic loss is brought to dealers, and the eating experience of consumers is also influenced. The respiration, ethylene synthesis and energy charge changes of the kiwi fruits can be influenced by adjusting the oxygen concentration in the environment, so that the endogenous ethylene production rate is regulated, an after-ripening environment driven by the fruits is constructed, the primary metabolism of color, aroma and taste is realized, and the original quality and flavor of the fruits are maintained. The high-oxygen treatment is favorable for keeping higher vitamin, ascorbic acid and lipoxygenase levels, can avoid anaerobic respiration of fruits and vegetables and reduce generation and accumulation of peculiar smell substances, is a green, natural and residue-free ripening accelerating method, and accords with the consumption concept of green, health and safety. Therefore, a green, clean and controllable high-oxygen quick ripening device is needed to be designed, so that the ripening speed and the ripening degree controllability of kiwi fruits are improved, and the ripening time and the sale period of kiwi fruits are matched. Not only can the dealers be enabled to ripen at any time and come into the market in time according to market demands, but also the kiwifruit bought by the consumers can be enabled to be in an edible, instant and excellent state.
