Photocatalytic titanium dioxide reduces postharvest decay of nectarine fruit packaged in different materials through modulating central carbon and energy metabolisms

The capacity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis photocatalytic reactor to prevent and control pathogen infection in nectarine fruit packed in laminated nylon/LDPE, low density polyethylene and microperforated LDPE films was evaluated. Results showed that TiO2 combined with microperforated LDPE packaging (TPL) exhibited superior inhibition of microbial growth, reducing total viable counts by 4.18 log CFU g-1 and yeast and mold counts by 3.20 log CFU g-1, compared to microperforated LDPE packaging alone. TiO2 photocatalysis primed the defense systems in nectarine fruit packed in microperforated LDPE, improving the activity of defense-related enzymes. Metabolomics analysis indicated that l-aspartate, oxaloacetate, and succinic acid involved in central carbon metabolism including the glycolysis and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways, were significantly upregulated by TPL. TiO2 increased the activity of energy metabolism-related enzymes, adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, and energy charge levels to provide adequate energy, thus reducing fruit decay.
