Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) is an efficient and sustainable method for extracting bioactive compounds from agro-industrial by-products. Moreover, it has been reported that ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation can induce the biosynthesis accumulation of phenolic compounds. This study optimized efficiency ultrasound-assisted recovering (UVA)-induced in strawberry by-products (RF-N). The impact three factors (solid-liquid ratio, ethanol concentration, ultrasound power) on total compound (TPC)...

Using wounding stress to increase the bioactive phenolic content in fruits and vegetables offers a promising strategy enhance their health benefits. When wounded, such phenolics accumulate plants can provide antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesogenic properties. This study investigates potential of using stress-treated carrots biofortified with compounds as raw material extract carrot juice increased nutraceutical Fresh were subjected via slicing then stored at 15 °C for 48 h allow...

During the production of fresh-cut products, crops are exposed to wounding stress, and as a stress response, phenolic antioxidants synthesized. This response is elicited by extracellular adenosine triphosphate, released from wounded cells recognized receptors unwounded cells. The produced beneficial for human health. However, common practice in industry application washing/sanitizing procedures after cutting. These could be highly detrimental, since they partially remove wound signal that...

Nutrients such as vitamins C and D selenium have potential for the reduction of risk amelioration COVID-19 disease. Although different foods contain these nutrients, their natural concentration is not sufficient to provide required daily intake exert immunomodulating activity. Herein, innovative approaches, including pre- postharvest practices biofortification (i.e., eggs, tomato, acerola, mushrooms, wheat, chickpea) with nutrients are described. Enhancement immune system through consumption...

The consumption of vegetables is essential for reducing the risk noncommunicable diseases, yet global intake falls short recommended levels. Enhancing nutraceutical content through postharvest abiotic stress, such as ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, offers a promising solution to increase health benefits. This study developed user-friendly, at-home UVB device designed phytochemical in common like carrots, lettuce, and broccoli. applies radiation (305–315 nm) fresh-cut vegetables, optimizing...

In the present study, postharvest application of wounding stress applied alone and combined with chitosan was evaluated as an innovative tool to increase concentration antioxidant phenolic compounds in carrots. Carrots were wounded obtain pie-cuts shreds. The whole tissue (300 g) sprayed a suspension (0.5% w/v), content individual phenolics before after 48 h storage at 20 °C. When two stresses (wounding+chitosan) synergistic effect on accumulation obtained. For instance, chlorogenic acid...
