Characterization of pitahaya (Hylocereus undatus) mucilage -based films

Applied Food Research, 2023
ABSTRACT: Edible films and coatings represent a sustainable alternative to classic food packaging. Mucilage obtained from different sources has been used to develop novel edible packages. Pitahaya mucilage, containing water-soluble polysaccharides may help to film formation. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of glycerol (0.5–1% v/

Water Salinity and Initial Development of Pitaya(Hylocereus undatus)

International Journal of Fruit Science, 2008
ABSTRACT Salinity is an important environmental problem, especially in arid and semiarid regions of the world. An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of water salinity on the initial development of pitaya (Hylocereus undatus)using five levels of irrigation water with electrical conductivity (ECw) levels: 0; 1.0; 2.0; 3.0 and 4.0 dS m_1 ...

Anthocyanins and betalains in evolution: Why mutual exclusion remains the best‐supported model

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Anthocyanins and betalains are plant pigments produced through different biosynthetic pathways and are generally considered mutually exclusive. We examine claims of their co‐occurrence, arguing that methodological flaws and data misinterpretation have led to unsupported reports, and offer recommendations for more rigorous future research.
