Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPolygalacturonase and Pectin Methylesterase Activities of CaCl2 Treated Red-Fleshed Dragon Fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) Harvested at Different MaturityY. B. Awang, S. H. Chuni, M. T.M. Mohamed et al.Fruits harvested at different maturity possess different biochemical constituents and physiological properties that make the fruits may react somewhat differently to the postharvest treatment. A study to examine the activity of Polygalacturonase (PG) and Pectin Methylesterase (PME) enzymes during storage in dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) harvested at 28 days (Index 3) and 34 days (Index 5) after anthesis and postharvest … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 23 Jul 2013 · 8,433 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNitric Oxide Treatment Improves the Antioxidant Capacity While Inhibiting Anthocyanin Biosynthesis of Peach Fruit (‘Xiahui-8’) During RipeningZiqi Wang, Yanyan Li, Yingling Deng et al.Nitric Oxide (NO) is an important bioactive signal molecule that plays an important role in diverse physiological processes. This study aimed to explore the effects of Nitric Oxide (NO) treatments on postharvest peach fruit. Specifically, we examined changes in quality attributes, antioxidant ability, and anthocyanin profiles during storage, given the important role of NO as a bioactive signal molecule in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2026 · 1,392 accessesView PDF Cite
