Heterologous expression of HpBHY and CrBKT increases heat tolerance in Physcomitrella patens

Plant Diversity, 2019
Heat stress can restrict plant growth, development, and crop yield. As essential plant antioxidants, carotenoids play significant roles in plant stress resistance. β-carotene hydroxylase (BHY) and β-carotene ketolase (BKT), which catalyze the conversions

Postharvest Management to Preserve the Nutritional Quality of Vegetables: An Overview Based on Current Research Findings Across the Globe

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
Postharvest losses in vegetables extend beyond mere quantitative reduction through physical deterioration and spoilage; they encompass substantial qualitative degradation, particularly the deterioration of critical nutritional constituents. Following harvest, vegetables maintain metabolic activity, and when subjected to suboptimal environmental ...

Chemistry Underlying the Behavior of Food and Agricultural Components During Industrial Manufacturing Processes and Its Implications in Quality Assurance, Food Quality, and Food Safety Management: A Systematic Review

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Industrial manufacturing processes have transformative effects on the components of food matrix. These transformations in food matrix and components have direct implications for quality assurance (QA), food quality (e.g., nutritional profile and texture), and food safety management (e.g., pathogen control and toxin mitigation). ABSTRACT This systematic
