The effect of UV-C irradiation time on total phenol, flavonoids, beta-carotene, ascorbic acid contents, and antioxidant capacity (ORAC, DPPH(*)) fresh-cut "Tommy Atkins" mango stored for 15 d at 5 degrees C was investigated. Fresh-cut irradiated 0, 1, 3, 5, 10 min prior to storage C. induced a hypersensitive defense response resulting in the phenols flavonoids accumulation which positively correlated with ORAC DPPH(*) values. However, beta-carotene content mangos decreased during storage....
Abstract BACKGROUND: Chitosan can form antimicrobial, semi‐permeable barriers that limit gas exchange and reduces water loss in fruits. Consumer interest fresh‐cut papaya fruit is leading to increasing demand because of its sensorial antioxidant properties. However, a highly perishable product prone weight, firmness microbial attack. The aim this study was evaluate the effect chitosan coatings on overall quality papaya. low (LMWC), medium (MMWC) high (HMWC) molecular weights, at...
Abstract: Mucilage of Opuntia ficus‐indica (OFI) was extracted and characterized by its composition molecular weight distribution. film‐forming dispersions were prepared under different pHs (3, 4, 5.6, 7, 8) calcium concentration (0% 30% CaCl 2 , with respect to mucilage's weight), their particle size determined. films without (MFCa MF, respectively) prepared. The effect pH on mucilage evaluated determining thickness, color, water vapor permeability (WVP), tensile strength (TS), percentage...
The possible role of abscisic acid (ABA) and peel colour in chilling tolerance ‘Fortune’ mandarins has been examined. Fruit stored at 2·5°C, but not 12°C, showed pitting damage. degree damage changed considerably during development maturity from November until May. Green fruit were more tolerant to injury (CI). After break, susceptibility increased the beginning December January February (the coolest season growing period) declined towards This trend did parallel changes index or free bound...
Low-temperature, nonfreezing, storage induces pitting and necrosis in the flavedo tissue of chilling susceptible citrus fruits. In this study role ethylene phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; EC 4.3.1.5) cold-induced peel damage has been investigated. It shown that increasing PAL activity by applying at a nonchilling temperature did not cause fruit or reduce incidence disorder when fruits were subsequently held (2 °C). The was enhanced inhibitors synthesis action. These results indicate...
Consumers are seeking for native-traditional foods to improve their intake of both nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals. This study was designed evaluate the difference in content bioactive compounds from handmade tortillas elaborated by a small-scale artisan producer sold large food retailer available consumers. All were analyzed chemical composition, dietary fiber, calcium phytochemical content, antioxidant capacity, phenolic acids profile. Chemical nutritional variation estimated...
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an important commercial fruit that shows a noticeable loss of firmness during ripening. Polygalacturonase (PG, E.C. 3.2.1.15) crucial enzyme for cell wall loosening ripening since it solubilizes pectin and its activity correlates with softening. PGs were mapped to genome draft using seventeen found in mango transcriptomes 48 bonafide identified. The phylogenetic analysis suggests they are related Citrus sinensis, which may indicate recent evolutive divergence...
The resistance of Escherichia coli O157:H7 to disinfection is associated with its ability form biofilms, mainly constituted by glucans produced glucosyltransferases. Citral and geraniol, terpenes found in the essential oil Cymbopogon citratus (EO), have proven antibacterial activity against planktonic E. coli; however, no information was about their efficacy mode action biofilms. Therefore, inhibitory effect C. EO, citral, geraniol on production glucosyltransferase as anti-biofilm mechanism...
This study hypothesizes that eugenol, due to its structural properties, can inhibit glucosyltransferase activity, thereby reducing polysaccharide synthesis in
The search for developing materials of natural origin has become imperative due to the resistance shown by phytopathogenic microorganisms traditional antimicrobial agents. Natural polymers such as chitosan offer a new alternative fungal infections because, in most cases, these are biocompatible, nontoxic, and natural. This study aimed synthesize nanochitosan using ultrasonication evaluate its antifungal activity on Colletotrichum chrysophillum musae. Nanochitosan 302.4 ± 92.3 nm zeta...
The transition of agriculture towards sustainability faces significant obstacles, such as increased demand for food, food insecurity, climate variability, biodiversity loss, and waste, among others. Moreover, agricultural activities must address ethical practices within sustainable development. literature frequently mentions two approaches to meet these challenges: agroecology agriculture. This study aims delineate the conceptual boundaries while elucidating their interconnection. It seeks...
Background: Coffee is widely consumed worldwide and rich in polyphenols with antioxidant properties linked to a reduced risk of metabolic cardiovascular diseases. Olive pomace (OP), by-product olive oil production, contains phenolic compounds cardioprotective effects but often discarded. Combining it coffee could enhance health benefits promote sustainability. Methods: Soluble solids, total phenols, flavonoids, capacity (DPPH• scavenging activity) were analyzed C-OP at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% OP...
