*Alternative Green and Novel Postharvest Treatments for Minimally Processed Fruits… DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.111978*

Several studies have demonstrated the application of exogenous MeJa on fruits and vegetables with regard to postharvest quality, senescence and ripening, chilling stress and pathogen infection. These investigations showed that MeJa treatments altered the characteristics of harvested fresh produce, largely by enhancing the antioxidant capacity, volatiles production, phenolics and flavonoids content, and reduced chilling injury, particularly in fruits [59, 69, 71]. **Table 8** provides information on the application of MeJa on some fresh fruits and vegetables.
