摘　　要：[Objective] The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of chitosan with different molecular weights on quality and lignification of postharvest Chi- nese chive scapes （Allium tuberosum Rottler ex Sprengel）. [Method] Some physio- logical and biochemical indexes such as weight loss, decay index, opening rate of flowers, chlorophyll and ascorbic acid content, respiration rate, the activities of enzymes, lignin and cellulose content of Chinese chive scapes treated with three kinds of chitosan with different molecular weights were investigated during the room stor- age at 20 ℃ to simulate shelf life. [Result] The results showed that all the treat- ments of chitosan with different molecular weights significantly delayed weight loss, decay index and opening rate of flowers, maintained higher chlorophyll and ascorbic acid content, inhibited respiration rate, reduced the activities of enzymes phenylala- nine ammonia lyase, cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase and peroxidase, and retarded lignin and cellulose accumulation during the storage of Chinese chive scapes. However, high molecular weight chitosan has better preservation effect on Chinese chive scapes. [Conclusion] The results suggest that the coating treatment of high molecu- lar weight chitosan may be a promising technique to maintain postharvest quality of Chinese chive scapes.[目的]研究不同分子量壳聚糖对韭薹的采后保鲜效果。[方法]通过室温货架模拟试验,分析不同分子量壳聚糖处理对韭薹采后失重率、花苞开放率、呼吸强度、酶活性等生理生化指标的影响。[结果]不同分子量壳聚糖处理可显著抑制韭薹储藏期间的失重率、呼吸强度、腐烂指数和花苞开放率的上升,保持较高的叶绿素和维生素C含量,降低苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)、过氧化物酶(POD)和肉桂酸脱氢酶(CAD)活性,抑制纤维素和木质素积累,从而延缓韭薹的衰老与品质下降,延长储藏寿命,达到保鲜目的,特别是高分子量壳聚糖保鲜效果尤佳。[结论]高分子量壳聚糖在韭薹采后保鲜中具有良好的应用前景。
