Inhibitory mechanism of ethyl furaneol on polyphenol oxidase: Kinetics, structural changes, and molecular docking analysis

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Enzymatic browning catalyzed by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) severely compromises the quality and economic value of tobacco leaves. However, research on inhibiting tobacco browning using natural extracts remains limited. Results This study initially screened four cultivars and identified ‘YY73’ with the highest PPO activity (37 OD min−1)

Silicon differentially protects PSII and PSI photochemistry and preserves fatty acid metabolism in salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.)

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Silicon (Si) has been demonstrated to be an important element to enhance crop tolerance against salinity. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying Si's mitigation of salt stress remains insufficiently explored and understood. This study aims to provide new insights into Si's impact on salt‐stressed Sorghum bicolor (L.) supplied or not ...

Antimicrobial bilayer starch film containing zein electrospun fibers encapsulating thyme essential oil for cherry tomato packaging

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of thyme essential oil (TEO) encapsulated in electrospun zein fibers for use in bilayer films as active packaging for cherry tomatoes. The antimicrobial activity of TEO and bilayer films with 20%, 40%, and 60% TEO was assessed with agar diffusion and microatmosphere assays.
