Effect of postharvest period on disease progression and proximate composition of Irvingia species fruit waste

Irvingia species are important fruit trees. Although the microbial postharvest quality of its fruits have been studied, the potential relationship between postharvest disease and the proximate composition of its fruit are yet unknown. Hence in this research, changes that occur in postharvest Irvingia fruit wastes on the 0 th , 3 rd and 6 th days after harvest (DAH) was assessed with respect to brownish-black rot disease and proximate components. Results showed that brownish-black rot disease advanced significantly (P≤ 0.05) as DAH increased. Mean weighted percentage brownish-black rot disease on 0 th , 3 rd and 6 th DAH were 2.37%, 22.24% and 87.86% respectively. Mean percentage moisture was 82.99% followed by dry matter (16.91g), Carbohydrate (15.00g), fibre (0.67g), protein (0.63g), ash (0.49g) and lipids (0.10g). Whilst differences in % moisture, dry matter and lipid with respect to DAH were not significant (P=0.05), differences in protein, ash, fibre, and carbohydrate contents were significant. Brownish-black rot disease was significantly, positively related to carbohydrate (r2 = 0.69; Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.83) whilst being significantly, negatively related to fibre (r2 = 0.92; Pearson correlation coefficient = -0.82), ash (r2 = 0.68; Pearson correlation coefficient = -0.96) and protein (r2 = 0.73; Pearson correlation coefficient = -0.86), respectively. Postharvest holding periods led to nutritive degradation of Irvingia fruits' proximate composition. Fruits should either be consumed soon after harvest or processed under infection-free conditions to lengthen their storage life
