[PMID: 38574914 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
The study involves the preparation and characterization of crosslinked-carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) films using varying amounts of citric acid (CA) within the range 5 %-20 %, w/w, relative to the dry weight of CMC. Through techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, carbonyl content analysis, and gel fraction measurements, the successful crosslinking between CMC and CA is confirmed. The investigation includes an analysis of chemical structure, physical and optical characteristics, swelling behavior, water vapor transmission rate, moisture content, and surface morphologies. The water resistance of the cross-linked CMC films exhibited a significant improvement when compared to the non-crosslinked CMC film. The findings indicated that films crosslinked with 10 % CA demonstrated favorable properties for application as edible coatings. These transparent films, ideal for packaging, prove effective in preserving the quality and sensory attributes of fresh bananas, including color retention, minimized weight loss, slowed ripening through inhibiting amyloplast degradation, and enhanced firmness during storage.

[PMID: 38058507 PMCID: PMC10696235 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100640] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
This study investigated the effect of mechanical damage of different impact energies (0.074 J, 0.160 J, 0.273 J) generated by a pendulum impactor and evaluated the bruise intensity and quality changes of bananas after 12 days of storage at 5, 13, and 22 °C. The bruise area (BA) and bruise susceptibility (BS) in the banana fruit were significantly increased as impact damage increased. The results of weight loss % and electrolyte leakage (EL%) were highly dependent on all studied factors; in the order of storage temperature > storage days > impact level. Storage temperature and impact damage accelerated the incidence of transpiration rate (TRm) during storage. Regarding color measurements, the results of image processing emphasized that storage at 13 °C exhibited the ideal color change in bruised fruit, which revealed a slow increment in lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) until the last day of storage. The ethylene production rate (EPR) was recorded at its maximum peak on days 2 and 12 with values of 3.85 × 10-3 and 3.08 × 10-3 mg kg-1h-1 in banana fruit bruised by high-impact (0.273 J) and stored at 22 °C. Regardless of impact level, all size measurements reduction % including, surface area (As), geometric mean diameter (Dg), and fruit volume (Vf) of bruised bananas were higher at ambient storage conditions than those stored at 5 and 13 °C. The results of regression analysis can confirm the possibility of bruise susceptibility (BS) to estimate the quality changes of bruised fruit during storage.

J Food Biochem 2022; 46:e14400. [PMID: 36093919 DOI: 10.1111/jfbc.14400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2022] [Revised: 08/17/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine expression profiles of metacaspase (MC) genes during ripening and senescence of two apple cultivars with distinct ripening behavior. "Golden Delicious" and "Fuji" harvested at commercial maturity were used as materials. Our data revealed that flesh firmness, respiration rate, ethylene production, metacaspase (MC) activity, superoxide anion (O2 •- ) production rate, relative electrical conductivity (REC), hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in "Golden Delicious" were higher than in "Fuji" during ripening. At 35 days, no DNA ladder was observed in both cultivars, and tonoplast disintegration was only observed in "Golden Delicious" by transmission electron microscope (TEM), indicating that programmed cell death (PCD) was initiated earlier in "Golden Delicious" than in "Fuji." A total of 18 MC genes were detected to be expressed in both cultivars. For those genes expressed only in "Golden Delicious," MdMC06, MdMC10, MdMC12, and MdMC21 might play a role in the early stage of ripening, whereas MdMC19 might be associated with the late stage of ripening. MdMC15 was expressed only in "Fuji." The remaining MC genes were differentially expressed in both cultivars during ripening. These results would provide useful information to further underlie the relationships among MC genes, PCD and storability of different apple cultivars. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Apple is one of the most popular fruits in the world. Different apple cultivars vary in their ripening behavior and storability, but the molecular mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. "Golden Delicious" and "Fuji" are two important apple cultivars worldwide. Our data indicated that PCD was initiated earlier in "Golden delicious" than in "Fuji" during postharvest ripening and senescence. MdMCs showed variable expression patterns in both cultivars during ripening. MdMC15 and MdMC19 might be closely associated with the early stage of PCD. These results would provide useful information to further decode the molecular mechanisms responsible for different storage storability of apple cultivars.

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2022; 180:9-16.

Abstract
The regulation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) on plant anti-oxygenation and programmed cell death (PCD) in fresh-cut pumpkins was investigated. Exogenous GABA positively promoted GABA accumulation and alleviated oxidant damage in pumpkins tissue. Pumpkins treated with GABA showed lower electrolyte leakage, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and MDA content, while higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) as compared to the non-treated tissues. Our results also found that GABA treatment retarded DNA degradation and cytochrome c release and delayed the apoptosis of pumpkin cells. On the other hand, the inhibitor of GABA generation, 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MP) treatment not only accelerated oxidant damage, but also induced cell death involving chromatin condensation, DNA ladder and cytochrome c releasing. Taken together, our present research indicated that exogenous GABA could alleviate the wound-induced oxidative stress and PCD occurrence in fresh-cut pumpkins.

Abstract
Chinese chestnuts (Castanea mollissima Blume.) contain 12-18 ovules in one ovary, but only one ovule develops into a seed, indicating a high ovule abortion rate. In this study, the Chinese chestnut 'Huaihuang' was used to explore the possible mechanisms of ovule abortion with respect to morphology and proteomics. The morphology and microstructure of abortive ovules were found to be considerably different from those of fertile ovules at 20 days after anthesis (20 DAA). The fertile ovules had completely formed tissues, such as the embryo sac, embryo and endosperm. By contrast, in the abortive ovules, there were no embryo sacs, and wide spaces between the integuments were observed, with few nucelli. Fluorescence labelling of the nuclei and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations showed that cells of abortive ovules were abnormally shaped and had thickened cell walls, folded cell membranes, condensed cytoplasm, ruptured nuclear membranes, degraded nucleoli and reduced mitochondria. The iTRAQ (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation) results showed that in the abortive ovules, low levels of soluble protein with small molecular weights were found, and most of differently expressed proteins (DEPs) were related to protein synthesis, accumulation of active oxygen free radical, energy synthesis and so on. These DEPs might be associated with abnormal ovules formation.

PLANT SCIENCE : AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PLANT BIOLOGY 2021; 304:110739.

Abstract
During ripening, peach fruits (Prunus persica L. Batsch) rapidly progress to the senescent stage, resulting in a brief shelf life. Abscisic acid (ABA) plays an important role in regulating the ripening process, both in climacteric and non-climacteric fruits. A key enzyme for ABA biosynthesis in higher plants is 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (NCED). In this study, two NCED isozymes, PpNCED1 and PpNCED5, were identified in peach fruits. While both NCED genes had similar transcriptional patterns (up-regulation) at the beginning of peach ripening, PpNCED5 showed a consistently lower expression level than PpNCED1. During the post-harvest stage, gene expression of PpNCED1 declined, while PpNCED5 expression increased relative to PpNCED1 expression. Considering the dynamic process of ABA accumulation during fruit ripening and senescence in peach, this study indicates that both NCED genes cooperatively control ABA biosynthesis in peach fruits. Moreover, spatio-temporal expression and transcriptional response to hormone and abiotic stress suggested that there is functional divergence between PpNCED1 and PpNCED5 genes in peach. A carotenoid-rich callus system was used to verify the function of PpNCED1 and PpNCED5. In the transgenic callus system, both PpNCED1 and PpNCED5 isozymes promoted ABA biosynthesis, which likely accelerated cell senescence through activating ROS signals. The results from this study provide evidence supporting an ABA biosynthetic regulation process via the two NCED genes in peach fruit, and suggest a mechanism of ABA-induced fruit ripening and senescence.
