On-Farm Sources of Microbial Contamination of Persimmon Fruit in Japan

Journal of Food Protection, 2008
Potential sources of microbial contamination for persimmon fruit during growing and harvesting in the 2005 season were investigated to provide a baseline to design the good agricultural practices program for persimmons in Japan. Microbial counts in the peel of persimmon fruit during production season were close to or below 2.4 log CFU/g for bacteria ...

Comprehensive Phenolic Profiling and Antioxidant Evaluation of Calyx, Rind, and Edible Tissues From Non‐Astringent Persimmons (Diospyros kaki)

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2026.
Tissue‐specific phenolic profiling of non‐astringent persimmons (Fuyu and Jiro) reveals substantial differences in phytochemical composition and antioxidant potential. Persimmon calyx exhibits the highest concentrations of bioactive compounds, highlighting its potential as a valuable by‐product for functional food and nutraceutical applications ...

Varietal differences in sweetness value and flesh juiciness among persimmon cultivars

Advances in Horticultural Science, 2020
To promote persimmon breeding project, we analyzed the sugar composition (a ratio of sucrose to hexose sugars, SH ratio) and flesh juiciness of 43 persimmon cultivars (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) consisting of 24 pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA ...

Species‐Specific Adaptability in Seasonal Resource Use by Non‐Breeding Crows: Contrasting Responses to Natural and Anthropogenic Environments

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Two sympatric crow species showed distinct resource use during the snow‐free season, exploiting different environments and anthropogenic resources. In contrast, during winter, both species converged on similar habitats and food resources under snow cover. These results highlight flexible, season‐dependent resource use in non‐breeding crows.

Synergistic Effects of Microwave and Osmotic Dehydration on Food Processing: A Comprehensive Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The combination of osmotic dehydration (OD) and microwave radiation (MW), referred to as microwave‐assisted osmotic dehydration (MWOD), has emerged as a promising hybrid strategy for optimizing food processing by enhancing mass transfer and preserving bioactive compounds.

Antioxidants in Plant‐Based Food Matrices: From Structure–Activity and Degradation Kinetics to Formulation Design

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant‐based antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to retard oxidative deterioration and to deliver health‐related benefits. Yet, their in‐product and in vivo performance frequently diverges from predictions based on solution‐phase chemical assays, because matrix interactions, processing history, and host metabolism reshape both ...

Efficacy of Selected Commercial Bio‐Products in Disrupting Symbiont Acquisition and Survival of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 764-773, July 2026.
Targeting the symbiont Candidatus Pantoea carbekii offers a novel way to manage the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). Among the three commercial bio‐products tested, Dentamet significantly reduced symbiont acquisition and caused up to 75% nymphal mortality in laboratory conditions, which was confirmed by quantitative Real‐Time ...

FcMAPK4‐phosphorylated FcNOR activates FcERF5 to promote fig fruit softening through activation of FcPG12 expression

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 7, Page 2264-2284, July 2026.
In Ficus carica fruit, the MAP kinase FcMAPK4 phosphorylates the NAC transcription factor FcNOR, which cooperates with ethylene response factor FcERF5 to activate the pectin degradation gene FcPG12, thereby promoting rapid softening of fig fruit. ABSTRACT Rapid softening of fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit during ripening leads to extremely short shelf life;
