The use of green technologies such as ultrasound and natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) for revalorisation food agricultural by-products represents a sustainable way to tackle waste promote healthier environment while delivering much-needed functional ingredients an increasingly unhealthy population. processing persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) generates large amounts rich in fibre-bound bioactive phytochemicals. This paper assessed the extractability compounds through NADES properties...
Bell pepper fruit (Capsicum annuum L. cv. Lamuyo) at two stages of maturity, mature green (MG) and red (MR), were stored 2 10 °C to investigate physiological changes resulting from chilling injury. The MG showed evidence injury (surface pitting) when °C, while MR unaffected by cold. At the same time, differences in evolution plant regulators detected: In chilling-sensitive peppers, ethylene levels 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), putrescine (Put), abscisic (ABA) rose...
The chemical quality of almonds variety Guara cultivated in nonirrigated farming (NI) and drip-irrigated (DI) conditions with different fertilizing treatments, two organic treatments (T1 T2) a mineral treatment (C), all them N−P−K proportion 1−2−1, is studied. Almonds obtained irrigated showed higher content sugars acids better oil. Among the employed, ones have shown best results related to quality, regardless quantity fertilizer employed (9.5 kg per T1 tree vs 4.5 T2 tree). produced sugar,...
In this study, an exhaustive analysis of the species Cannabis sativa L. was carried out, focusing on terpenoid and cannabinoid profiles inflorescences from five different varieties four intra-specific hybrids. addition, compositions seed oils these same were examined. Aromatic compounds analysed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GS-MS) while cannabinoids by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Principal component (PCA) hierarchical...
The levels of polyamines (PA) and abscisic acid (ABA) in the pericarp California variety pepper fruit ( Capsicum annuum L.) were analyzed during development ripening. Putrescine level was 2.75 μmol g −1 fresh weight 7 days after set fell exponential stage growth to 1.05 weight. During second stage. PA ABA remained stable sharply at beginning maturation. spermidine spermine decreased throughout maturation from 0.61 0.05 0.31 0.02 weight, respectively, but no changes associated with onset high...
Zucchini squash showed chilling injury (CI) damage as pitting on 93% of their surface after 12 days at 2 °C, and a 2−2.5-fold increase in putrescine levels both skin pulp was detected during storage (from 162 38 to 320 98 nmol g-1 fresh weight, respectively). Abscisic acid concentration increased mainly the skin. Treatments with CO2 prior °C were found be effective reducing CI. With 5% CO2, increases abscisic lower than control fruits, while exposure 40% resulted decrease these values....
The changes in the lipid fraction and deterioration of its quality were studied almonds (Prunus amygdalus) variety Guara after treatment with accelerated electrons at doses 3, 7, 10 kGy, during a storage period 5 months. In almond oil, most significant difference from nutritional point view was seen fatty acid linolenic (18:3), which shows 3 kGy maintenance initial content whole period, whereas, 7 18:3 disappears first moment. indices oil (K(232), K(270)) decreased all remained stable time...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Apricots ( Prunus armeniaca cv. Búlida) were treated with 1 mL L −1 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) immediately after harvest and stored in air at 2 °C for 21 days. Antioxidant levels (ascorbic acid carotenoids), enzymatic antioxidant activities (superoxide dismutase (SOD) unspecific peroxidase (POX)) total capacity (trolox equivalent (TEAC)) determined. The level of oxidative stress was also established by measuring ion leakage during storage. changes the potential...
Some tropical and subtropical fruit vegetables suffer chilling injuries (CI) when exposed to low (above freezing) temperatures. The symptoms of such vary between species, although they usually involve staining the peel internal browing, are related important modi fications at cell membrane level. polyamines putrescine, spermidine spermine, have an antisenescent action because their capacity link with anionic compounds in capture free radicals, thus stabilizing lipid bilayer preventing...
Appropriate nutrition targets decrease the risk of incidence preventable diseases in addition to providing physiological benefits. Dietary fiber, despite being available and necessary balanced nutrition, are consumed at below daily requirements. Food byproducts high dietary fiber free bonded bioactive compounds often discarded. Herein, persimmon presented as an interesting source compounds. The solvent extraction effects from on its techno- physio-functional properties, Caco-2 cell model...
The goal of this study was to determine the effects phenolic extracts from grape (GrPE), pomegranate (PoPE), and persimmon (PePE) by-products on bacterial virulence activities such as biofilms, motility, energy-dependent efflux pumps, β-lactamase activity, which are modulated primarily by quorum sensing (QS), defining their potential applications.The microdilution method used minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) sub-inhibitory concentrations (SICs) against reference pathogenic bacteria....
