Localized bursting of mesocarp cells triggers catastrophic fruit cracking [PDF]
Horticulture Research, 2019 The so-called rain-cracking of sweet cherry fruit severely threatens commercial production. Simple observation tells us that cuticular microcracking (invisible) always precedes skin macrocracking (visible).

Hierarchical levels of organization of the Brazil nut mesocarp [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractAiming to understand Nature´s strategies that inspire new composite materials, the hierarchical levels of organization of the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) mesocarp were investigated. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microtomography (MicroCT) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) were used to deeply describe the ...

Drying kinetics of ‘babassu’ mesocarp [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2017 ABSTRACT ‘Babassu’ mesocarp flour has been used by the pharmaceutical, human food and animal feed industries. However, there is lack of standardization in the production, as well as absence of information on the management of the product’s quality. Thus, the objective of this study was to dry the ‘babassu’ mesocarp in forced-air oven and solar dryer ...

Cytokinin and Inhibitor Activities in the Avocado Fruit Mesocarp [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1970 No cytokinin activity was found in methanolic mesocarp extracts after purification with petroleum ether and ethyl acetate. Cytokinin activity did appear, however, in aqueous fraction after acid hydrolysis or passage through Dowex 50 (H(+)) ion exchange columns.

Antioxidant Potential of Red Palm-Pressed Mesocarp Olein
Journal of Oleo Science, 2021 Oxidative stress occurs due to the imbalance amount of the free radicals and antioxidants in human body which often associated with numerous chronic diseases. The antioxidant properties of red palm-pressed mesocarp olein (PPMO) have not been widely studied. Therefore, antioxidant properties of PPMO relative to commercially available edible oils, namely

Water deficit-induced changes in mesocarp cellular processes and the relationship between mesocarp and endocarp during olive fruit development [PDF]
Tree Physiology, 2009 A field experiment was conducted during two consecutive growing seasons to determine and quantify the growth response of the olive (Olea europaea L. cv. Leccino) fruit and of its component tissues to tree water status. Pre-dawn leaf water potential (Psi(w)) and fruit volume were measured at about weekly intervals, and fresh weight (FW) and dry weight ...

Effects of Microwave Heating on Oil Palm Mesocarp
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015 Sterilization is an essential pre-treatment step in crude oil extraction process as to retain the quality and minimize the enzymatic activity within the fruits. This pre-treatment process on fresh fruit bunches often involves a large amount of steam and pre-treatment processes.
