Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Feijoa sellowiana fruit

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2000
The present study was designed to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of an aqueous extract from the tropical Feijoa sellowiana Berg. fruit which is widely used for human food. The extract was tested against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by a broth dilution test and on human whole blood leukocytes, as well as isolated ...

Volatile flavour constituents of feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana)—analysis of fruit flesh

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1990
AbstractThe volatile flavour fraction from the flesh of ripe feijoa fruit (Feijoa sellowiana Berg cv Mammoth) has been isolated by high vacuum steam distillation and subsequent liquid‐liquid extraction of the volatiles. Analysis by capillary GC and GC‐MS led to the identification of 15 constituents of which (Z)‐hex‐3‐enal and isopropyl benzoate are ...

Relationship between flesh browning and the activities of polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase in feijoa fruit

Acta Horticulturae, 2018
Flesh browning is the main postharvest disorder limiting the storage life of feijoa fruit produced in southern Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD) and ...

Lipids of the fruit of Feijoa sellowiana

Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 1991
The composition and amounts of liposoluble substances in the flesh and peel of feijoa fruit has been investigated. About 30 groups of lipid substances have been identified. The main groups of lipids in the flesh were triacylglycerols, sterols, cerebrosides, ceramide phosphate inositol oligosides, sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerols, phosphatidic acids ...

Feijoas: Post-harvest handling and storage of fruit

New Zealand Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1987
Abstract Feijoas (Feijoa sellowiana Berg.; ‘Apollo’, ‘Gemini’, and ‘Triumph’) have a commercial storage life of c. 4 weeks at 4°C, with 5 days subsequent shelf-life at 20°C. Fruit stored for 3–8 weeks developed chilling injury (CI) at 0°C but not at 4°C. CI increased in severity during 7–10 days shelf-life.

Bioactive products from fruit of the feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana, Myrtaceae): A review

Food Chemistry, 2010
The feijoa plant (Feijoa sellowiana, family Myrtaceae, synonym, Acca sellowiana) produces fruit similar to that of the guava. It is native to Brazil but is grown in many countries as a food crop, especially New Zealand, where it is valued for its highly aromatic fruit.

Volatile constituents of feijoa—headspace analysis of intact fruit

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1983
AbstractThe volatile constituents emanating from intact feijoa fruit during storage were concentrated on to Tenax GC using a headspace trapping technique. Analysis by gas chromatography and gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry led to the identification of 11 components of which myrcene, ethyl hexanoate, trans β‐ocimene, 2‐heptyl butanoate, cis hex‐3 ...

RESPONSES OF FEIJOA FRUIT 'UNIQUE' TO CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE

Acta Horticulturae, 2010
The effects of controlled atmosphere (CA) on fruit quality of a commercially important cultivar of feijoa fruit, 'Unique', were studied during storage in five atmospheres containing: 0 kPa CO 2 , 2 kPa O 2 ; 3 kPa CO 2 , 2 kPa O 2 ; 0 kPa CO 2 , 5 kPa O 2 ; 3 kPa CO 2 , 5 kPa O 2 ; and air at 4°C.

AT-HARVEST FRUIT QUALITY ATTRIBUTES OF NEW ZEALAND FEIJOA CULTIVARS

Acta Horticulturae, 2005
At-harvest fruit quality attributes of four feijoa (Feijoa sellowiana) cultivars ('Unique', 'Triumph', 'Apollo' and 'Mammoth') were measured during the 2002 season. Fruit were supplied ungraded and unsorted at optimum maturity as determined by 'touch picking' and were sourced from five production regions within New Zealand.
