บทคัดย่อ
Loss of greenness in the bract due to chlorophyll (Chl) degradation is one of the symptoms of senescence in dragon fruit (Hylocereus spp.). Chl degradation enzyme activities (chlorophyllase - Chlase, Mg-dechelatase - MD, chlorophylldegrading peroxidase - Chl-POX and pheophytinase - PPH), Chl derivatives (chlorophyllide a - Chlidea, pheophorbide a - Pheide a, pheophytin a - Phein a and 132-hydroxychlorophyll - OHChl a), and Chl content were assayed during storage at 25ฐC. Chl a content decreased with storage while Chl b content remained unchanged. Chlase activity increased after one day of storage and decreased thereafter. MD and PPH activity increased gradually for the first two days of storage while Chl-POX activity increased during the first five days of storage and then decreased. Chlide a, Pheide a and OHChl a were undetectable throughout storage, while Phein a increased during storage. The results indicate that MD and PPH may be involved in Chl degradation. Chl derivatives, particularly Pheina, were accumulated as intermediate products during Chl degradation.
