Data underlying the article Basil Chilling Injury: Oxidative Stress or Energy Depletion

Basil (Oscimum basilicum L.) is susceptible to chilling injury (CI), leading to significant postharvest quality loss. This research aimed to identify key metabolites involved in CI of basil during cold storage to better understand the underlying mechanisms. Metabolite profiles of basil (cv. Dolly) leaves stored at 4 and 12 °C for up to 12 days were quantified by 1H NMR and GC-MS. The overall visual quality (OVQ) of basil leaves were scored and the maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) were measured to represent chilling damage at- and postharvest.Two storage temperature: 4 and 12 °CPostharvest storage time: 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 days

罗勒（Oscimum basilicum L.）易受冷害（chilling injury, CI）侵害，会造成显著的采后品质损失。本研究旨在鉴定罗勒冷贮藏期间与冷害相关的关键代谢物，以深入解析其潜在作用机制。本研究以品种为多利（cv. Dolly）的罗勒叶片为材料，采用1H核磁共振（1H NMR）与气相色谱-质谱联用（GC-MS）技术，对其在4℃与12℃下贮藏至多12天的代谢物谱进行定量分析。同时，对罗勒叶片的总外观品质（overall visual quality, OVQ）进行评分，并测定光系统II最大量子产额（Fv/Fm），以表征收获期与采后阶段的冷害程度。本研究设置两个贮藏温度：4℃与12℃，采后贮藏时长分别为0、3、6、9和12天。
