Abstract:

In this study, two field experiments were undertaken to evaluate the influences of two returning practices of pineapple residues on the chemical quality and aroma components of next-cropped pineapple fruits. In Experiment 1, pineapple residue returning directly (RD) was performed. In Experiment 2, the efficiency of pineapple residues returning as compost after being fermented (RC) was demonstrated. The results suggested that RD and RC increased the contents of TSS and reduced sugar of pineapple fruits. Sensory evaluation showed that the pineapple fruits from RD and RC were better in fragrance than that of CK1 and CK2, respectively. Aroma component identification indicated that there were equal types of ester components and fewer types of alkene components identified in the fruits from RD and RC when compared with CK1 and CK2, respectively. The total relative contents of esters of fruits from RD and RC were increased and those of alkenes were decreased. In RD system, the total relative contents of methyl esters and ethyl esters were increased. In RC system, the total relative content of methyl esters was increased.
