Ananas comosus:Is the unripe fruit juice an abortifacient in pregnant Wistar rats?

The European Journal of Contraception & Reproductive Health Care, 2011
The juice of unripe pineapple (Ananas comosus) was investigated for abortifacient activity in pregnant Wistar rats.Animals in Groups A, B, C and D received orally 0.5 ml of distilled water, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight of the juice, respectively, once daily from day 7 until day 14 of pregnancy.The juice contained tannins, cardenolides ...

Study on evaluation of silage from pineapple (Ananas comosus) fruit residue as livestock feed

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2015
Pineapple is a commercially important fruit crop grown in Asian and African countries. Pineapple fruit residue (PFR) accounts for more than 65% of the processed fruits, and its disposal is a major problem due to its high moisture and sugar content predisposing it to fungal growth and spoilage.

Changes in cell number and cell size during pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) fruit development and their relationship with fruit size

Australian Journal of Botany, 2010
In mainland China, more than 80% of pineapples (Ananas comosus L.) grown are the cultivar ‘Comte de Paris’. Fruit size is an important commercial trait in crops such as pineapple and it is generally believed that cell number and cell size play an important role during fruit size regulation; however, few cellular biological studies on pineapple fruit ...

PRESERVATION OF NATURAL STABILITY OF FRUIT “BROMELAIN” FROMANANAS COMOSUS(PINEAPPLE)

Journal of Food Biochemistry, 2009
Pineapple extract, “bromelain,” is a rich source of proteases having therapeutic benefits. The processed fruit does not show proteolytic activity probably due to harsh conditions of sterilization. Storage of fresh fruit at−4C without preservatives retained 75 ± 5% proteolytic activity after 180 days (with or without eight cycles of freeze–thawing in ...

Internal fruit rot of netted melon caused by Pantoea ananatis (=Erwinia ananas) in Japan

Journal of General Plant Pathology, 2008
An internal fruit rot with a malodor was found in netted melons (Cucumis melo L.) in commercial greenhouses in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, in 1998, despite their healthy appearance and lack of water-soaking or brown spots on the surface. A yellow bacterium was consistently isolated from the affected fruits.

The Potential of Antioxidants and Phytochemicals Components in Fruit Waste (Peel) of Citrus hystrix and Ananas comosus

2020
Asians love to have Citrus hystrix (Kaffir lime) and Ananas comosus (pineapple) in their dishes, drink and even enjoy it raw. However, the peels of these fruits are massively being discarded and time consuming to be degraded. Realizing their potential in antioxidants and phytochemicals compound, the aim of this research is to extract the peels by using

Phenolic profiles of pineapple fruits (Ananas comosus L. Merrill) Influence of the origin of suckers

2011
Phenolic profiles of three fruits collected from pineapple plants obtained by micropropagation (FM), somatic embryogenesis (FE) and suckers of old field (FR) were studied to evaluate the influence of plant cell culture on pineapple fruit quality. The isolation and identification of a range of polyphenol compounds by HPLC methods shows that: eleven ...

Pathogenicity and Characterization ofErwinia ananasCausing a Postharvest Disease of Cantaloup Fruit

Plant Disease, 1991
Cantaloups (Cucumis melo var. reticulatus) grown in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas developed small, water-soaked lesions after harvest. Lesions were shallow, firm, and, in many cases, not easily detected until the peel was removed. A yellow bacterium was isolated on nutrient agar and used to fulfill Koch's postulates.

Effect of Night Temperature on Flowering and Fruit Size in Pineapple (Ananas comosus [L.] Merrill)

Botanical Gazette, 1981
'Smooth Cayenne' pineapple plants grown in a greenhouse at between 25 and 30 C were transferred for 16 h nightly to dark rooms maintained at 15, 20, 25, and 30 C. Flowering was most rapid at a night temperature of 20 C and was slowest at 15 and 25 C. Flowering did not occur after 3 yr of growth at 30 C.
