Effects of Various Polymeric Films on the Pericarp Microstructure and Storability of Longan (cv. Shixia) Fruit Treated with Propyl Disulfide Essential Oil from the Neem (Azadirachta indica) Plant

Muhammad Rafiullah Khan et al.

Summary: Plant extracts, such as propyl disulfide (PD) from neem seeds, have been found to have antioxidant and antimicrobial effects on longan fruit, reducing water loss, microbial decay, and pericarp browning. PD also maintained the quality and freshness of the fruit by preserving color, taste, firmness, and reducing enzyme activity. Combining PD with polymeric films extended the shelf life of longan fruit.

Hypobaric treatment augments the efficacy of 1-MCP in apple fruit

Wasif Ur Rahman et al.

Summary: This research investigated the effects of hypobaric and 1-MCP treatments on maintaining the quality of Royal Gala apples during cold storage and simulated retail conditions. The results showed that the combination of hypobaric and 1-MCP treatments was more effective in retaining the quality of the apples compared to individual treatments. Specifically, the treatment with 1.0 mu L L(-1)1-MCP + 50 kPa demonstrated the best results in terms of quality retention during cold storage, and the apples were juicier, tastier, and more attractive in color than the other treatments under simulated conditions.

Effect of hypobaric treatment on off-flavour development and energy metabolism in 'Bruno' kiwifruit

Chen Huan et al.

Summary: Hypobaric treatment can help reduce fruit decay and weight loss, maintain higher levels of phenolic compounds, quinic acid, and citric acid, and decrease the development of alcoholic flavor in 'Bruno' kiwifruit during storage. This effect may be attributed to enhanced aerobic metabolism and inhibited anaerobic metabolism during the storage period.

Transcriptome analysis reveals the metabolisms of starch degradation and ethanol fermentation involved in alcoholic off-flavour development in kiwifruit during ambient storage

Chen Huan et al.

Summary: The study showed that the development of alcoholic off-flavor in kiwifruit 'Bruno' during storage may be associated with respiration and ethylene metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, and ethanol fermentation metabolism. The higher respiration rate and ethylene production in 'Bruno' could lead to energy conversion and internal CO2 accumulation, while the accelerated starch degradation along with soluble sugars accumulation provides substrates for ethanol fermentation. Additionally, the higher activity of ethanol fermentation metabolism may directly increase ethanol production in 'Bruno'.

Antioxidant activity of thymol essential oil and inhibition of polyphenol oxidase enzyme: a case study on the enzymatic browning of harvested longan fruit

Muhammad Rafiullah Khan et al.

Summary: Thymol was proven to effectively delay pericarp browning and decay of longan fruit, maintaining its color and quality. It also showed high total phenolic and total flavonoid contents, inhibiting polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activities.
