... The postharvest decay of durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) increases rapidly when the storage time is extended, which seriously limits the commercial value. In this research, the effects of appropriate periodical SO₂ fumigation and different CO₂‐enriched atmospheres (3% O₂ + 10%–13%, 14%–17%, or 18%–21% CO₂) on the storage quality of durian stored at 14°C were investigated. Results showed that SO₂ f ...
... Deastringency treatment with CO₂ is an effective and convenient method for improving the marketability of persimmon fruit. However, the main persimmon cultivars in China turn brown very quickly following exposure to a high-CO₂ atmosphere, causing significant economic loss. However, the mechanisms of persimmon browning under CO₂ treatment remain largely unknown. In this study, we evaluated componen ...
... Internal browning is physiological storage disorder in many apples often associated with high CO₂ during controlled atmosphere (CA) storage. However the underlying molecular mechanisms leading to internal browning are poorly understood. This study examined changes in the apple transcriptome associated with internal browning related to high CO₂ in CA storage by comparing the responses of a CO₂ sens ...

Abstract:
... Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is one of the main phytosanitary problems found in tomato crops (Solanum lycopersicum L.) in Brazil, causing direct and indirect damage and consequently, physiological and biochemical damage to host plants. This study’s objective was to evaluate the influence of B. tabaci MED and MEAM1 infestation on the physiological and biochemical proper ...

In the study, the fruit firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acid (TA), TSS/TA ratio, color development, weight loss, respiration rate, vitamin C content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content were evaluated. In addition to this, the polyphenoloxidase (PP ...
... This study aimed to develop an edible coating to extend the shelf life of bananas and increase their consumption. Bananas were coated with coating materials containing 1.5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC); 2.0% Tween 80; and 0% (CM0), 0.5% (CM0.5), 1.5% (CM1.5), and 2.5% (CM2.5) of Morus alba root extracts, respectively. The experiment evaluated weight loss, texture, total chlorophyll contents, ion ...
... BACKGROUND: Persimmon fruits are cherished for their unique flavor and high nutrient content. In the present study, the effects of Aloe vera-based edible coatings (EC) added with 1% ascorbic acid, 1% citric acid and 5% calcium chloride in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and their impact on shelf-life quality of fresh-cut persimmon fruit, were investigated. The experimental design consisted of ...
... The influence of high-pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) treatment on the browning of fresh-cut lettuce was investigated during storage at 4 °C. The browning degree, color, weight loss, browning-related enzymes, and components related to membrane lipid metabolism of fresh-cut lettuce were assessed during storage. The results showed that HPCD treatment slowed down the browning of fresh-cut lettuce. Pol ...
... This work evaluated the effects of high-pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) treatment and vacuum packaging on the yellowing of peeled Chinese water chestnut (CWC) during storage. The changes in color, enzymatic activities, total phenolic content and malondialdehyde contents were assessed in peeled CWC. The results showed that vacuum packaging alone, atmospheric packaging after HPCD treatment, and vacuu ...

A series of four copper(II) μ-Alkoxo-μ-carboxylato double bridged complexes, [{Cu₂(L)}₂][(μ–O₂C–CO₂] 1, [{Cu₂(L)}₂(μ–O₂C–(CH₂)CO₂] 2, [{Cu₂(L)}₂(μ–O₂C–CH₂–CO₂] 3 and [{Cu₂(L)}₂(μ–O₂C–C₆H₄–CO₂] 4 (H₃L = 4-bromo-2-((E)-((3-(((E)-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene) amino)-2-hydroxypropyl) imino) methyl)-6-methoxyphenol and μ-dicarboxylate ions = oxalate, malonate, succinate and terephthalate) have been sy ...
... Northern leaf blight (NLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum, is one of the most important diseases affecting maize production worldwide. The effect of silicon (Si) on maize resistance against NLB was investigated through an in‐depth analysis of physiological and biochemical changes (measurements of gas exchange and chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence parameters, activities of host defence enzymes and ...
... The effect of ascorbic acid [AA (40 mmol L⁻¹)] and oxalic acid [OA (2 mmol L⁻¹)] on browning of litchi fruit was investigated under 5% CO₂ + 1% O₂ controlled atmosphere (CA) and compared with air at 5 ± 1 °C for 28 days. The combined application of AA and OA suppressed browning index, soluble quinones, and activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase under CA compared with control. The combinat ...
... Dense phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) has been mainly explored as a new non-thermal pasteurization method for liquid foods. However, it's pasteurization efficacy absolutely needs to be further investigated for solid-liquid food mixtures, such as mango in syrup. This study aimed to investigate pasteurization and enzyme inactivation effects for DPCD treatment, and evaluate quality changes by comparing w ...
... Agaricus bernardii was a typical mushroom in Inner Mongolia, China, with high metabolic rate, respiration rate and dehydration. The storage time of A. bernardii was very short.
