Maintaining Quality of Litchi Fruit with Acidified Calcium Sulfate
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2010The effect of acidified calcium sulfate (ACS) on the quality of litchi ( Litchi chinensis Sonn. cv. 'Brewster') fruit after harvest was evaluated. ACS at 1.25% or higher concentrations significantly inhibited the activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase in the pericarp during storage at both 5 and 10 degrees C.

Changes in phenolic compounds in Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruit during postharvest storage
Postharvest Biology and Technology, 2000Abstract Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn. cv. Huaizhi) fruit were stored at ambient temperature (20–25°C) for up to 7 days and at 4°C for up to 35 days for separation, purification and identification of individual phenolic compounds and investigation of their changes during postharvest storage. Results indicate that flavan-3-ol monomers and dimers were

Litchi Fruit Set, Development, and Maturation
2017In broad terms, fruit development can be divided into three stages: set, growth, and maturation. The fruit set of litchi are established soon after fertilization except for the parthenocarpic cultivars, which grow fruits without fertilization. In structure, the fruit of litchi is a drupe with an edible aril enclosing a single seed surrounded by a ...

Olfactory preference of the litchi fruit borer for oviposition on two litchi varieties
Pest Management ScienceAbstractBACKGROUNDThe litchi fruit borer Conopomorpha sinensis Bradley is a major destructive pest of litchi and longan plants in China, India and South East Asia. Given its strong olfactory‐based oviposition behaviour, interfering with the chemical communication between this insect pest and its host plant may serve as a potential control strategy ...

Physiological and biochemical studies during fruit ripening in litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.)
Postharvest Biology and Technology, 1994Abstract Postharvest treatment with Alar or cobaltous chloride was found to be the most effective in increasing the shelf life of litchi ( Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruits by up to 4 days. These treatments significantly reduced the physiological weight loss, titratable acidity and ascorbic acid content while an increase in total soluble solids and ...

Fruit set, development and maturation: litchi.
2005AbstractThis chapter discusses the following aspects of fruit development and maturation in litchi (Litchi chinensis): embryology, histology and organogenesis; types of fruit; fruit growth stages; fruit abscission; role of growth regulators (auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and ethylene) in fruit development; and changes in sugars, acids,

Regeneration from Nodal Explants of Field-Grown Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Fruit Trees
2017Mass propagation of Litchi chinensis (Sonn.) via seeds is understood as detrimental because of the highly heterozygous nature of the plant due to cross-pollination. The conservative methods of vegetative propagation utilized for litchi are air layering or marcottage, grafting, and budding which are slow and incompetent as evinced by several reports. In

Experimental Comparison of Litchi Fruit Stalk Cutting Force
Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2012Experiments were conducted to determine the effects of blade angle and cutting angle on the cutting force of litchi stalk, which are important in cutter design and operational parameter optimization, and to compare the maximum cutting forces for V-cutters and for unilateral V-cutters.

Abiotic Stress Management in Fruit Crop Litchi chinensis
2017Frequent variations in global climate patterns direct changes in soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Abiotic stresses caused due to these changes are responsible for inducing various modifications at molecular and cellular level in plants that in turn cause irreversible damage to agricultural yields of several major fruit crops.

Liposome/chitosan coating film bioplastic packaging for Litchi fruit preservation
Food ChemistryChitosan is an ideal coating film for food preservation, but the performance of a single chitosan coating film is not good. Herein, the liposome was prepared by embedding copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and thyme essential oil (TEO) in the hydrophilic and hydrophobic double-domain structure formed by phospholipids, and combining with chitosan to obtain a ...
