Optimized Copper Pretreatment Protocols for Premium Green Raisin Production via Vacuum Impregnation and Metallo‐Complex Stabilization

Future Postharvest and Food, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Green raisin production is limited by rapid chlorophyll degradation during drying. This study evaluated copper metallo‐complex formation to stabilize green pigmentation in Vitis vinifera cv. Thompson Seedless grapes. Pretreatments with copper sulfate (CuSO4) pentahydrate (2%–6% w/v) were applied via dipping and vacuum impregnation (2–10 min ...

Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Morphological changes of lenticels and their role in gas exchange and sprouting physiology of potato tubers during postharvest storage

Frontiers in Plant Science
The application of exogenous gases has been used to suppress sprouting in stored potato tubers. However, their efficacy in extending ecodormancy largely depends on achieving optimal gas exchange between the storage atmosphere and the tuber itself.
