Effect of pH and temperature on peroxidase and polyphenoloxidase activities of litchi pericarp Efeito do pH e da temperatura nas atividades da peroxidase e polifenoloxidase do pericarpo de lichia

Scientia Agricola, 2010
After harvesting litchi, the red color of the fruit pericarp is rapidly lost resulting in discoloration and browning during storage and marketing. The loss of the red color is caused by the degradation or loss of stability of anthocyanins.

Improving blueberry cold storage quality: the effect of preharvest hexanal application on chilling injuries and antioxidant defense mechanisms

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 14, Page 8837-8851, November 2024.
Abstract Blueberries are vulnerable to chilling injury (CI). This can lead to limited longevity when they are subjected to cold storage conditions. This study investigated the effectiveness of a preharvest spray containing 0.02% hexanal in reducing CI and improving the postharvest storage quality of ‘Star’ and ‘Biloxi’ blueberries. The blueberries were
