Powdery mildew (PM) is a major fungal disease of thousands plant species, including many cultivated Rosaceae. PM pathogenesis associated with up-regulation MLO genes during early stages infection, causing down-regulation defense pathways. Specific members the gene family act as PM-susceptibility genes, their loss-of-function mutations grant durable and broad-spectrum resistance. We carried out genome-wide characterization in apple, peach strawberry, we isolated apricot homologs through...
Ready-to-eat products are damaged by various factors, including exposure to O 2 and CO , extreme temperatures, rapid decay, due trauma during processing. The use of natural antimicrobial agents antioxidants might extend the shelf-life fruits. aim this work is investigate effects four different antibrowning gelling added into Aloe vera gel-based edible coatings applied fresh-cut papaya. EC1 treatment consists gel (30% v/v), EC2 contains CaCl (5% EC3 K carrageenan (0.5% EC4 sodium alginate...
Fig fruit are usually highly sensitive to some physiopathological disorders during post-harvest life, such as softening and skin cracking. Indeed, the use of edible coating (EC) has been evaluated in several crops reduce transpiration maintain visual quality. The aim this study was determine metabolic response breba figs treated with mucilage extract from O. ficus-indica cladodes, using an untargeted metabolomic approach. Coated non coated (control) were sealed plastic bags, stored at 4 °C...
Fig is a widespread crop in southern Italy, highly valued for its sweet flavor. However, consumption as fresh product limited to three four days after harvest because of high susceptibility quality loss and microbial contamination. The combined use low temperature modified atmosphere the traditional preservation method. several studies have shown that Aloe arborescens or vera O. ficus-indica (OFI) mucilage an edible coating could reduce load water loss, respectively. Therefore, our study...
Abstract Background Persimmon fruits are cherished for their unique flavor and high nutrient content. In the present study, effects of Aloe vera -based edible coatings (EC) added with 1% ascorbic acid, citric acid 5% calcium chloride in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) impact on shelf-life quality fresh-cut persimmon fruit, were investigated. The experimental design consisted four treatments 1) coating + (EC MAP), 2) untreated fruit packaged MAP (CTR MAP); 3) passive PASSIVE); 4)...
Puglia is the most important region in Italy for table grape production. Since consumers look new products, number of varieties has greatly increased recent years.In a survey region, we identified several years ago potential mutation cv. Victoria. We described this accession comparison with standard Victoria some amphelographic traits. All characteristics were very similar to except berry shape, which was significantly more elongated. Moreover, mutated showed higher firmness, lightness and...
Fresh-cut peach is very perishable, being discoloration or browning the main factors affecting loss quality and consumer acceptability. The aim of study was to investigate effect chemical treatments on sensory peaches profile 'Pesca di Bivona' Leonforte' landraces, treated with 2 % ascorbic acid 1 calcium lactate (AA), 0.5 citric (SOL) during 12 days storage. 150 g fruit slices were placed in rigid bi-oriented polystyrene bags stored for 3, 5, 7 at 5 ± °C passive atmosphere condition. For...
The aim of this work was to define the most appropriate time harvesting early ripening peach fruit using destructive and non-destructive quality indexes such as index absorbance (IAD), measured with DA-Meter, a portable equipment able measure degradation chlorophyll in pericarp. In context our research carried out 2009 2010 on several cultivars. Total soluble solid content increased while flesh firmness total acidity decreased IAD values, but no significant correlation found between parameters.
