Moisture Diffusivity Determination of Different Parts of Longan Fruit [PDF]

International Journal of Food Properties, 2007
The components of the longan fruit were modeled as sphere for seed, cylinder for seed stalk, and slab for seed coat, shell, and flesh. The moisture diffusivities were determined by minimizing the sum of square of derivations between the predicted and experimental values of moisture content of thin layer drying under controlled conditions of air ...

3‐Methyl‐1‐Butanol Enhances Postharvest Resistance of Red Grapes to Botrytis cinerea by Activating Phenylpropanoid Metabolism and Antioxidant Defences

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2673-2684, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Grey mould, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is a significant postharvest disease leading to substantial economic losses in the grape industry. This study investigated the regulatory mechanism of 3‐methyl‐1‐butanol (3M1B), a yeast volatile substance, on B. cinerea resistance in red grapes (Vitis vinifera L.).

Trade‐Offs in the Moonlight: Influence of Interspecific Pressures, Temperature, and Moon Phases on the Activity Patterns of Asiatic Brush‐Tailed Porcupine

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using camera trap data from a tropical rainforest, we show that the Asiatic brush‐tailed porcupine uses behavioral trade‐offs: avoiding full moons, preferring 15°C–22°C, and shifting activity to reduce conflict with predators/competitors. This plasticity reveals how it balances foraging efficiency and survival risks, offering insights into conserving ...

Integrated Physiological, Metabolomic, and Transcriptomic Analyses Reveal the Molecular Regulatory Network Underlying Postharvest Quality Deterioration in “Mingzhu No. 5” Melon

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
During early storage, TFs from MEred/MEbrown modules maintain fruit quality by regulating sucrose and cell wall genes. Their subsequent downregulation reduces sweetness and firmness. Meanwhile, MEturquoise module TFs activate aroma genes, initially promoting esters but eventually leading to off‐flavors. ABSTRACT “Mingzhu No.
