The present research was conducted to investigate the influence of the harvest maturity stages and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on quality of cornelian cherry fruit. The cornelian cherry fruit (Cornus mas L.) were used as the plant materials in this study. Weight loss of MAP-treated fruit was lower than the untreated. At harvest and end of the storage, the greatest respiration and ethylene production rates were measured from M‑1. MAP-treated fruit were maintained firmness and had lower decay. At the end of the storage, the greatest soluble solids and acidity were obtained from M‑2. Also, vitamin C contents of M‑1+MAP were greater than M‑1, M‑2 and M‑2+MAP. At harvest and on 15^th, 30^th and 45^th day of the storage, anthocyanin of M‑2 was greater than M‑1. At the last two periods of the storage, flavonoid contents of MAP-treated fruit were greater than the untreated. During the storage, M‑2+MAP had greater phenolic contents than the other. The greatest antioxidant activity at the end of the storage period was measured in M‑1+MAP. Cornelian cherry fruit are quite rich in anthocyanins, flavonoids, flavonols, phenolic acids and vitamins. The fruit should be harvested at proper maturity stages because of short harvest and marketing periods. Based on present findings for a prolong storage and shelf life the cornelian cherry fruit should be harvested at M‑1 stage and fruit should be cold-stored in MAP.

进行本研究以调查收获成熟阶段和气调包装（MAP）对山茱cherry樱桃果实品质的影响。该研究使用了山茱cherry樱桃果实（Cornus mas  L.）作为植物材料。经MAP处理的水果的重量损失低于未处理的水果。在收获和储存结束时，从M-1测得最大的呼吸和乙烯生产率。MAP处理的水果保持硬度，腐烂率较低。在存储结束时，从M-2获得了最大的可溶固体和酸度。此外，M-1 + MAP中的维生素C含量大于M-1，M-2和M-2 + MAP。在收获期以及15^日，30^日和45^日储存的当天，M‑2的花色苷大于M‑1。在贮藏的最后两个时期，经MAP处理的果实的类黄酮含量高于未处理的果实。在储存过程中，M‑2 + MAP的酚含量高于其他。在储存期结束时，最大的抗氧化剂活性以M‑1 + MAP测得。山茱cherry樱桃果实富含花青素，类黄酮，黄酮醇，酚酸和维生素。由于收获和销售期短，水果应在适当的成熟阶段收获。根据目前的发现，可以延长储存和保存期限，应在M-1阶段收获山茱cherry樱桃果实，并将其冷藏在MAP中。
