HEAT SHOCK REDUCES BOTH CHILLING INJURY AND THE OVERPRODUCTION OF REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES IN YELLOW PITAYA (HYLOCEREUS MEGALANTHUS) FRUITS

Journal of Food Quality, 2011
ABSTRACTYellow pitaya fruits were heat‐shocked (25C/24 h), stored at 2C for 14 days and then held for 13 days at 18C. Chilling injury (CI), respiration rate, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide anion radical (O2•‐) and lipid peroxidation product (LPP) levels were measured.

Lineage-specific gene radiations underlie the evolution of novel betalain pigmentation in Caryophyllales. [PDF]

, 2015
Betalain pigments are unique to the Caryophyllales and structurally and biosynthetically distinct from anthocyanins. Two key enzymes within the betalain synthesis pathway have been identified: 4,5-dioxygenase (DODA) that catalyzes the formation of ...

Production of Special Fruit Beer With Addition of Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum) Pulp and Prolyl Endopeptidase to Improve Volatile Compounds and Physicochemical Parameters

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study assessed the feasibility of incorporating cupuassu pulp and the commercial protease Aspergillus niger prolyl endopeptidase (AN‐PEP) in the production of fruit beer. To preliminarily evaluate the impact of the protease on the beer protein profile, one‐dimensional SDS‐PAGE was employed.

Integrated Multidimensional Evaluation of Postharvest Quality and Physiopathologies in Seasonal Tropical Fruits: Linking Physicochemical, Sensorial, and Economic Loss Parameters

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Tropical regions exhibit remarkable environmental variability, resulting in high biodiversity and numerous fruit species with considerable nutritional and commercial potential. Despite this richness, many tropical fruits remain underexplored, particularly regarding their postharvest quality, phytosanitary status, and consumer perception.
