Kiwifruit ( Actinidia spp.): A review of chemical diversity and biological activities

Sunan Wang et al.

Summary: Kiwifruit is a commercially important fruit crop with various dietary nutrients and functional ingredients. It exhibits multiple health benefits, but evidence of its impact on preventing and treating chronic diseases is not yet clear. Future research should focus on sustainable utilization of kiwifruit resources, purification of bioactive compounds, and the physiological mechanisms and clinical significance of kiwifruits.

Mechanism underlying sodium isoascorbate inhibition of browning of fresh-cut mushroom (Agaricus bisporus)

Dongying Xu et al.

Summary: The study showed that treatment with sodium isoascorbate (SI) at a concentration of 10 g L-1 resulted in increased firmness, reduced weight loss, lower browning, and improved overall quality of fresh-cut mushrooms over a period of 12 days. Additionally, the exogenous SI treatment enhanced antioxidant responses, delayed decline in phenolic compounds, and prolonged shelf life of the mushrooms.

UV-C irradiation inhibits surface discoloration and delays quality degradation of fresh-cut stem lettuce

Cong Han et al.

Summary: UV-C treatment can delay the occurrence of surface green fading and browning in fresh-cut stem lettuce, with 8 kJ m(-2) being the optimal dose. It also reduces the degradation of chlorophyll, loss of ascorbic acid (AsA), and accumulation of phenolic compounds. UV-C treatment has potential practical application in preserving fresh-cut stem lettuce.

Effects of calcium lactate on postharvest quality of bitter gourd fruit during cold storage

Uma Prajapati et al.

Summary: The study found that using 100 mM of CL treatment can minimize physiological loss in weight and decay incidence of bitter gourd, while maintaining higher levels of firmness, total phenolics, antioxidants, and chlorophyll. Additionally, 75 mM of CL treatment can keep ascorbic acid levels high for up to 20 days, and 100 mM of CL treatment is effective in controlling PME activity and increasing inhibitory activity of alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase. Overall, the results suggest that CL treatment can significantly extend the shelf-life of bitter gourd fruits and retain important nutrients.
