Recovery and Purification of Cutin from Tomato By-Products for Application in Hydrophobic Films
Membranes, 2023 Tomato pomace is a low-cost, renewable resource that has been studied for the extraction of the biopolyester cutin, which is mainly composed of long-chain hydroxy fatty acids. These are excellent building blocks to produce new hydrophobic biopolymers. In

Russeting in Apple is Initiated after Exposure to Moisture Ends: Molecular and Biochemical Evidence
Plants, 2020 Exposure of the fruit surface to moisture during early development is causal in russeting of apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). Moisture exposure results in formation of microcracks and decreased cuticle thickness.
