Introduction Global malnutrition continues to be a canker owing poor eating habits and over-reliance on the major staple crops. Vegetable soybean (maodou) is gaining popularity globally as an affordable snack vegetable. Methods In this study, we profiled nutritional composition of 12 cultivars at vegetable (R6-R7) mature (R8) stages. We also conducted RNA-seq analysis during seed development, focusing key biosynthesis enzymes for quality traits. Results The results showed that 100 g maodou...

Abstract Background Guava is a fruit prone to rapid spoilage following harvest, attributed continuous and swift physicochemical transformations, leading substantial postharvest losses. This study explored the efficacy of xanthan gum (XG) coatings applied at various concentrations (0.25, 0.5, 0.75%) on guava fruits (Gola cultivar) over 15-day storage period. Results The results indicated that XG coatings, particularly 0.75%, substantially mitigated moisture loss decay, presenting an optimal...
