Literature ReviewOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Postharvest and Industrial Processing on Glucosinolate from Broccoli: A ReviewZhen-Xing TangGlucosinolate, is a kind of bioactive sulfur-containing secondary metabolites, which are mainly distributed in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower turnip and radish. In recent years, Glucosinolate has been widely studied for its anticancer and cardiovascular activities. The types and contents of Glucosinolate in broccoli are related to many factors, such as the cultivars, growth environment and stages, postharvest … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 20 Apr 2022 · 6,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNovel Postharvest Treatment Reduces Ascorbic Acid Losses in Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Var. KentMaria A. Islas-Osuna, Norma A. Stephens-Camacho, Carmen A. Contreras-Vergara et al.Problem statement: Mango is a tropical fruit that ripens very quickly; for this reason, there has been a continuous effort to develop postharvest technologies to extend its shelf life and quality. Among them, 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is widely used because it inhibits the action of ethylene receptors. Approach: Changes in physicochemical parameters, bioactive compounds and cell wall degrading activities were evaluated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,127 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsResearch Progress on Non-Thermophysical Fresh Keeping Technology of Fruits and Vegetables Based on Nutrition and SafetyShuai Han, Hongfang Cai, Youzhi Wu et al.With the rapid development of the economy and the improvement of living standards, people not only have an increasing demand for fresh fruits and vegetables but also have become increasingly strict on the nutrition, safety, and quality of fruits and vegetables. However, the characteristics of high nutrition and high moisture make them easily susceptible to microbial infection, which can seriously … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 16 Feb 2023 · 5,403 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Edible Coatings, Storage Time and Maturity Stage on Overall Quality of Tomato FruitsJorge Esteban de Jesús Dávila-Aviña, José Villa-Rodríguez, Reynaldo Cruz-Valenzuela et al.Problem statement: Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most widely consumed fresh vegetables in the world; however, its highly perishable nature limits its postharvest life. Major losses in tomato quality and quantity occur between harvest and consumption. Therefore, the application of new technologies to extend the postharvest life of this commodity is needed. The use of edible coatings … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2011 · 11,286 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Different Concentrations and Applications of Calcium on Storage Life and Physicochemical Characteristics of Papaya (Carica Papaya L.)T.M.M. Mahmud, A. Al Eryani-Raqeeb, S.R. Syed Omar et al.Papaya (Carica Papaya L.) fruits index 2 were treated with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5% solutions of calcium chloride by dipping and vacuum infiltration (-33 Kpa) or untreated (0%) as control. Effects of these treatments were evaluated on storage life and postharvest quality characteristics of papaya. After 21 days of storage at 13±1°C, the fruits were removed from storage for physicochemical … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 9,652 accessesView PDFCite
