Abstract: 【Objective】The control method and development regularity of superficial scald of Early Red Comice during storage were investigated in this paper. 【Method】The effects of water-soluble chitosan (WCTS) or acid-soluble chitosan (ACTS) treatment on the development of superficial scald and quality of European pear (Pyrus communis L. cv. Early Red Comice) were investigated during storage at (0±0.5)℃. 【Result】Superficial scald leads to plasmolysis and ultimately death of fruit skin cell of pear fruit. Afterwards, brown or black lesions appeared on the fruit surface. Compared with WCTS treatment, ACTS could more effectively inhibit the development of superficial scald of pear fruit during storage. Superficial scald incidence in ACTS-treated or WCTS-treated fruit was 63.89% or 44.44% lower than that in control on the 120 d of storage. The accumulation of α-farnesene or conjugated trienes in fruit peel was reduced, membrane lipid peroxidation was weakened by chitosan treatments. The respiration rate of fruit treated with chitosan was lower than that of control. The accumulation of the reducing sugar content was enhanced, but the decline of TA content was inhibited by chitosan treatments in the early days during the storage period. 【Conclusion】Chitosan treatment could inhibit the development of superficial scald of Early Red Comice pear, and ACTS treatment was better than WCTS treatment. Chitosan treatment could be used as an effective and convenient method for control superficial scald development of Early Red Comice pear.
