- Abstract:
- ... The effects of bamboo vinegar (1.5% v/v) and peach gum (2% w/v), either individually or combined, on reducing grey mould decay caused by Botrytis cinerea in blueberry fruit was investigated. Bamboo vinegar combined with peach gum reduced disease incidence and lesion diameter more than treatments with either substance alone. Furthermore, fruit dipped with 1.5% bamboo vinegar combined with 2% peach ...

- Abstract:
- ... Yellowing of the cut surface is one of the main causes of quality loss in fresh-cut Chinese water chestnut (CWC). However, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unclear. In this study, the peeled corms of CWC were treated with ascorbic acid (AsA) and ferulic acid (FA) and stored at 10 °C for 6 d. Changes in color, flavonoid content, activity levels of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), ...

- Abstract:
- ... Sweet cherries are in demand in domestic and international markets due to their medical and health benefits. However, storage and transportation of these cherries are difficult due to their thin skin. In this study, we investigated the effects of pressurized argon (0.5 MPa for 1 h at 0 ºC), storage in a controlled atmosphere (5% O2 + 10% CO2 + 85% argon), and their combination on the postharvest q ...

Exogenous melatonin at 1, 10, 100 and 1000 μM ameliorated chilling injury in cut anthurium flowers by 11, 29, 51 and 31%, respectively, compared with that of untreated flowers, during storage at 4 °C for 21 d. Ameliorating chilling injury in flowers treated with 100 μM melaton ...

- Abstract:
- ... Enzymatic browning is a major industrial problem of fresh-cut vegetables and fruits. Bioactive peptides are safe, nutritive and low-cost sources of antioxidant and antimicrobial agents. However, there has been little research on the effect of random peptides on anti-browning of fresh-cut food. For developing more natural and nutritive anti-browning agents, the effect of the enzymatic hydrolysis of ...

In this study, vacuum packing at pressures of 0, ↓0.02, ↓0.04, and ↓0.06 mPa at 20 °C, and the optimum pressure of ↓0.04 mPa at 4 °C for maintenance of sprouts, was investigated. Chlorogenic acid was identified as the main phenolic compound leading ...

In this study, cinnamaldehyde, a common food preservative, was evaluated to control postharvest sour rot in citrus fruit through in vivo and in vitro experiments. Results showed that cinnamaldehyde with a minimum i ...
