Fruit Quality

Brix is a measure of the sugar content of a liquid, typically a fruit juice or other plant-based liquid. It is expressed in degrees Brix (°Bx), which indicates the percentage of sugar by weight in a solution. The Brix value is a measure of the concentration of dissolved solids in a liquid, including sugars, minerals, and other substances.

MANGO‐“Fruitcage”: A Conditional Photocage Utilizing a Fluorescence Light‐Up Aptamer

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Fruitcaging ‐ a proof of concept study of a conditional photocage (Thiazol‐Orange) activated upon binding to the fluorescence light up aptamer (Mango). The prolongation of the excited state lifetime explains the redirection of the reactive pathway toward photocleavage and provides a sensitive spectroscopic readout.
