Impact of tomato variety and homogenization pressure on in vitro lipid digestion and lycopene bioaccessibility in tomato emulsions

Food Biomacromolecules, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 222-236, June 2026.
Tomato variety and processing impact lycopene bioaccessibility. Tomato emulsions with high pectin content decreased the in vitro lipid digestion and negatively affected lycopene bioaccessibility. High pressure homogenization may enhance the release of lycopene into emulsion oil droplets, but it may also reduce the transfer of lycopene into the micellar

From plant to fabric: Environmental opportunities associated with annatto dye for sustainable development in the textile industry

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 3, Page 333-353, June 2026.
Abstract Natural dyes are compounds that occur naturally in several organisms and are classified based on chemical structure and application method. The literature cites several natural dyes used in industrial transformation processes. Annatto dye is used in the food industry, and its biological pigment is extracted from the annatto seed. However, this

Chromoplast associated proteins from color storage root diversity in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). [PDF]

, 2004
Accumulation of b-carotene in underground storage organ might result from a variety of regulatory mechanism, including steps in the syntheses pathway and its end product sequestration in the chromoplast. Such mechanisms may be especially important in non-

Carotenoid crystal formation in Arabidopsis and carrot roots caused by increased phytoene synthase protein levels. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundAs the first pathway-specific enzyme in carotenoid biosynthesis, phytoene synthase (PSY) is a prime regulatory target. This includes a number of biotechnological approaches that have successfully increased the carotenoid content in ...

Polyamine treatments: an effective strategy to improve crop yield and fruit colour and to preserve quality of ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit during storage at chilling temperatures

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 7, Page 4101-4112, May 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Climate change in Spain is altering the optimal conditions for producing high‐quality ‘Mollar de Elche’ pomegranate fruit, due to reduced colour development in husk and arils. In addition, the pomegranate requires storage above 7–10 °C, depending on cultivar, to preserve its quality because it is susceptible to chilling injury (CI ...

Transcriptomic and Functional Analyses Reveal That PpGLK1 Regulates Chloroplast Development in Peach (Prunus persica)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Peach is an ideal species for fruit tree research because of its small, fully sequenced genome. Chloroplast development is dependent on the tight cooperation between the nuclear and plastid genomes, and is regulated by GLK transcription factors.

Lycopene Synthesis and Related Gene Expression in Pummelo Pulp Increased in Shade-grown Fruit

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2019
The effects of bagging-induced light reductions on lycopene synthesis and the expression of related genes, antioxidant activity, and sugar composition of ‘Tubtim Siam’ pummelo (Citrus maxima) were investigated.

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 54-73, April 2026.
Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

The influence of norflurazon on the formation of chromoplast tubules in Hypericum perforatum flowers [PDF]

, 1998
The influence of norflurazon on the formation of the chromoplasts of Hypericum perforatum petals was studied by electron microscopy. Norflurazon (2 x 10-4 M) inhibited the synthesis of coloured carotenoids, impairing the assembly of chromoplast tubules ...
