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

Natural active products in fruit postharvest preservation: A review

Food Frontiers, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 2043-2083, September 2024.
Abstract Abundantly available plants, animals, and microbes are excellent source of active substance to be used as fruit preservatives to delay postharvest fruit from decay, maintain good quality, and increase the shelf life. Although they are effective and free from toxicological risks, the use of the natural active products in agriculture is still ...

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.

Protein–phenolic interactions and reactions: Discrepancies, challenges, and opportunities

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 5, September 2024.
Abstract Although noncovalent interactions and covalent reactions between phenolic compounds and proteins have been investigated across diverse scientific disciplines, a comprehensive understanding and identification of their products remain elusive. This review will initially outline the chemical framework and, subsequently, delve into unresolved or ...

Ripening and rot: How ripening processes influence disease susceptibility in fleshy fruits

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 66, Issue 9, Page 1831-1863, September 2024.
This review summarizes the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying the interplay between fruit ripening and susceptibility/resistance to microbial pathogens and considers strategies for improving fruit quality, with tomato as a model for fleshy fruit‐pathogen interactions, and relevant information from many other plant species.

Does Daucus carota L. leaf provide a high potential as a source of bioactive constituents: A case study about the influences of process/storage conditions

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 5882-5889, August 2024.
Focused on the valorization of carrot leaves, Daucus carota L. because of their high amount of ascorbic acid (AA), phenolic compounds, and the related antioxidant activity. Carrot leave is a promising source of functional constituents, including vitamin C. MW‐IR technique has been demonstrated as a superior method for drying carrot leaves.
