Description
Kiwifruit often suffer chilling injury in cold storage, a disorder tied to how the fruit handles oxidative stress. Chelsea Kerr and co-authors review what is known about that link in this 2025 paper. Antioxidants in the fruit mop up reactive oxygen species that would otherwise damage proteins, fats, and DNA during storage.
The review maps the pathways that control antioxidant defenses and weighs the proof tying them to chilling injury. It also flags where knowledge runs thin, since the control system spans several linked routes. A better grasp of these defenses, the authors argue, could guide treatments that extend storage life. Growers and packers could then cut fruit losses while keeping quality high.
