Lin Y, Chen J, Lin Y, Lin M, Wang H, Fan Z, Lu W, Chen Y, Lin H. DNP and ATP modulate the pulp softening and breakdown in fresh longan by acting on the antioxidant system and the metabolisms of membrane lipids and cell wall polysaccharides. Food Chem 2024; 460:140531. [PMID: 39059331 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140531] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024]
Abstract
Compared to the control longan, DNP treatment elevated pulp breakdown index, reduced the values of pulp firmness, CSP, ISP, cellulose, and hemicellulose by enhancing the activities of PE, PG, Cx, XET, and β-Gal. Additionally, DNP treatment increased the levels of PLD, lipase, LOX, PA, and SFA, and decreased the values of PC, PI, USFA, U/S, and IUFA, displaying higher cell membrane permeability and more severe cell membrane damage in longan pulp. Furthermore, DNP treatment weakened the levels of SOD, CAT, APX, AsA, GSH, TP, and TF, thereby exacerbating ROS outbreak and MDA production. These results indicate that DNP treatment destroyed the antioxidant system to cause ROS eruption. This disruption further disturbed the metabolisms of membrane lipids and cell wall polysaccharides, leading to the breakdown of cell membrane and cell wall, and eventually aggravated longan pulp softening and breakdown. However, ATP treatment exhibited the opposite effects of DNP treatment.

Abstract
Longan fruit deteriorates rapidly after harvest, which limits its storability. This study aimed to investigate the effect of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) on quality maintenance, membrane lipid metabolism, and energy status of longan fruit during 25 °C storage. Compared with control fruit, TBHQ treatment maintained better marketable fruit rate and suppressed activities of phospholipase D (PLD), lipase, and lipoxygenase (LOX), and downregulated expressions of DlPLD, DlLOX, and Dllipase. TBHQ also increased the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (U/S) and the index of unsaturated fatty acids (IUFA). In addition, higher levels of ATP, ADP, energy charge, NADP+/ NADPH as well as higher activities of H+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase and NADK were also observed in TBHQ-treated fruit. These results suggested that TBHQ may maintain postharvest quality of longan fruit by regulating membrane lipid and energy metabolisms.

Abstract
Compared to control longan, DCC-treated longan had higher pulp breakdown index, lower ATP, ADP and EC levels, and lower H+, Ca2+ and Mg2+-ATPase activities. On day 6, DCC-treated longan presented 18% higher pulp breakdown index, with 44%, 9% and 31% lower levels of ATP, ADP and EC, respectively. Additionally, DCC-treated longan showed 29%, 53%, 37% lower activity of H+-ATPase, 34%, 54%, 4% lower activity of Ca2+-ATPase, and 13%, 21%, 6% lower activity of Mg2+-ATPase in the membranes of plasma, vacuole, and mitochondria, respectively. Whereas, DS-treated longan manifested the opposite trends of DCC treatment. These results suggest that the accelerated pulp breakdown in DCC-treated longan was linked to energy deficiency and reduced energy production. However, DS treatment restrained pulp breakdown occurrence in fresh longan by maintaining a higher energy level through the elevated energy production and ATPase activity.

Abstract
The deterioration of fruit could reduce the shelf life, decreased marketability and substantial economic value. Thus, a safe, simple, economical and environmentally friendly preservation technology for fruit is of great significance. Here, the postharvest preservation technology was investigated with zinc-doped carbon quantum dots and chlorogenic acid (Zn-CQDs/CGA) composite. Zn-CQDs/CGA composite were synthesized, which exhibits superior antioxidant and antibacterial activities. The binding mechanism of the Zn-CQDs/CGA composite was investigated, which revealed that the bindings of two components were mainly driven by hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces to create a novel composite. The Zn-CQDs/CGA composite was applied to longan preservation and was found to significantly reduce the incidence of mildew spot, browning of fruit endocarp and pulp, as well as the degree of degradation of quality indexes. These results suggest that the Zn-CQDs/CGA composite has the potential for inhibiting browning and preserving the quality of longan during storage.

Tannin-Tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae Isolated from Traditional Fermented Tea Leaf (Miang) and Application in Fruit Wine Fermentation Using Longan Juice Mixed with Seed Extract as Substrate. Foods 2024; 13:1335.

Abstract
This study focused on isolating tannin-tolerant yeasts from Miang, a fermented tea leaf product collected from northern Laos PDR, and investigating related food applications. From 43 Miang samples, six yeast isolates capable of ethanol production were obtained, with five isolates showing growth on YPD agar containing 4% (w/v) tannic acid. Molecular identification revealed three isolates as Saccharomyces cerevisiae (B5-1, B5-2, and C6-3), along with Candida tropicalis and Kazachstania humilis. Due to safety considerations, only Saccharomyces spp. were selected for further tannic acid tolerance study to advance food applications. Tannic acid at 1% (w/v) significantly influenced ethanol fermentation in all S. cerevisiae isolates. Notably, B5-2 and C6-3 showed high ethanol fermentation efficiency (2.5% w/v), while others were strongly inhibited. The application of tannin-tolerant yeasts in longan fruit wine (LFW) fermentation with longan seed extract (LSE) supplementation as a source of tannin revealed that C6-3 had the best efficacy for LFW fermentation. C6-3 showed promising efficacy, particularly with LSE supplementation, enhancing phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, and inhibiting α-glucosidase activity, indicating potential antidiabetic properties. These findings underscore the potential of tannin-tolerant S. cerevisiae C6-3 for fermenting beverages from tannin-rich substrates like LSE, with implications for functional foods and nutraceuticals promoting health benefits.

Hydrogen peroxide induced changes in the levels of disease-resistant substances and activities of disease-resistant enzymes in relation to the storability of longan fruit.

Abstract
The influences of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the storability and metabolism of disease-resistant substances in fresh longan were investigated. Compared to the control samples, H2O2-treated longan exhibited a higher index of fruit disease, pericarp browning, and pulp breakdown, a higher rate of fruit weight loss, but lower chromaticity values (L*, a* and b*) in pericarp appearance, and a lower commercially acceptable fruit rate. Additionally, H2O2-treated longan showed a lower lignin content, lower activities of enzymes including phenylalnine ammonia lyase (PAL), cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H), 4-coumaryl coenzyme A ligase (4-CL), cinnamate dehydrogenase (CAD), peroxidase (POD), chitinase (CHI), and β-1,3-glucanase (GLU). These data collectively suggest that H2O2 negatively impacted the storability of fresh longan. This can be attributed to H2O2's role in reducing the levels of disease-resistant substances and suppressing the activities of disease-resistant enzymes, implying that H2O2 reduced the postharvest storability of longan by compromising its disease resistance.

Abstract
Psittacanthus calyculatus parasitizes mesquite trees through a specialized structure called a haustorium, which, in the intrusive process, can cause cellular damage in the host tree and release DAMPs, such as ATP, sugars, RNA, and DNA. These are highly conserved molecules that primarily function as signals that trigger and activate the defense responses. In the present study, we generate extracellular DNA (exDNA) from mesquite (P. laevigata) tree leaves (self-exDNA) and P. calyculatus (non-self exDNA) mistletoe as DAMP sources to examine mesquite trees' capacity to identify specific self or non-self exDNA. We determined that mesquite trees perceive self- and non-self exDNA with the synthesis of O2•-, H2O2, flavonoids, ROS-enzymes system, MAPKs activation, spatial concentrations of JA, SA, ABA, and CKs, and auxins. Our data indicate that self and non-self exDNA application differs in oxidative burst, JA signaling, MAPK gene expression, and scavenger systems. This is the first study to examine the molecular biochemistry effects in a host tree using exDNA sources derived from a mistletoe.

Abstract
Postharvest longan fruits are subjected to Phomopsis longanae Chi (P. longanae) infection that lead to fruit quality deterioration. We hypothesized that ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) could enhance fruit disease resistance in longans. Through physiological and transcriptomic analyses, the results showed that, compared to P. longanae-infected longan fruit, ε-PL + P. longanae treatment reduced the disease development of longan fruits. Additionally, ε-PL + P. longanae treatment increased the contents of disease-resistant substances (lignin and H2O2) and the activities of disease-resistance enzymes (CHI, PAL, PPO, C4H, CAD, GLU, 4CL, and POD). Furthermore, the expressions of genes relevant to the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway and plant-pathogen interaction pathway (Rboh, FLS2, WRKY29, FRK1, and PR1) were up-regulated by ε-PL + P. longanae treatment. These findings demonstrated that ε-PL treatment inhibited the disease development of postharvest longan fruits were associated with the increased accumulation of disease-resistant related substances, as well as the raised activities and genes expressions of disease-resistance related enzymes.

Kuang X, Chen Y, Lin H, Lin H, Chen G, Lin Y, Chen Y, Wang H, Fan Z. Comprehensive analyses of membrane lipids and phenolics metabolisms reveal the developments of chilling injury and browning in Chinese olives during cold storage. Food Chem 2023; 416:135754. [PMID: 36871509 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.135754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2023]
Abstract
The impacts of chilling injury (CI) temperature (2 °C) and non-CI temperature (8 °C) on the CI development, browning occurrence, and its underlying mechanism in Chinese olives were investigated. The results showed that, 2 °C induced higher levels of CI index, browning degree, chromaticity a* and b* values, but lower values of h°, chlorophyll and carotenoid contents in Chinese olives as compared to 8 °C. Furthermore, 2 °C raised cell membrane permeability, increased the activities of phospholipase D, lipase and lipoxygenase, accelerated the hydrolyses of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol to phosphatidic acid, and promoted the conversions of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids in Chinese olives. Moreover, 2 °C-stored Chinese olives showed higher activities of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase, but lower contents of tanin, flavonoid and phenolics. These findings demonstrated that the CI and browning developments in Chinese olives were closely associated with the metabolisms of membrane lipid and phenolics.

DNP and ATP regulate the breakdown occurrence in the pulp of Phomopsis longanae Chi-infected longan fruit through modulating the metabolism of membrane lipid. Food Chem 2023; 409:135330.

Abstract
This study aimed to illustrate how DNP and ATP affected the pulp breakdown occurrence in P. longanae-infected longan and their relationship with the membrane lipid metabolism. Compared with P. longanae-inoculated samples, the pulp of DNP-treated P. longanae-infected longan exhibited higher cellular membrane permeability, breakdown index, activities of PI-PLC, PLD, PC-PLC, LOX, and lipase, and values of SFAs, PA, and DAG, while lower levels of PI, PC, USFAs, IUFA and U/S. However, the opposite findings were observed in ATP-treated P. longanae-infected longan. The data manifested that DNP-increased the pulp breakdown occurrence in P. longanae-inoculated samples was due to the elevated MLDEs activities that reduced the contents of phospholipids (PI, PC) and USFAs, disrupting the cell membrane structures. Nevertheless, ATP decreased the pulp breakdown occurrence in P. longanae-inoculated samples, which was ascribed to the reduced MLDEs activities that raised phospholipids (PI, PC) and USFAs contents, thus maintaining the cell membrane structures.

The Effects of Combined 1-Methylcyclopropene and Melatonin Treatment on the Quality Characteristics and Active Oxygen Metabolism of Mango Fruit during Storage. Foods 2023; 12:1979.

Abstract
In this study, mango fruit (Tainong No. 1) was treated with either 0.1 mg/L 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) alone or with a combination of 0.1 mg/L 1-MCP and 0.2 mM melatonin (MT). The mango fruit was then stored for 10 days at 25 °C and 85-90% relative humidity. Quality characteristics and the active oxygen metabolism of postharvest mangoes were evaluated every 2 days. Compared to untreated mango fruit, those with the treatments of 1-MCP alone or 1-MCP + MT had a better appearance and higher levels of soluble sugar, ascorbic acid, and titratable acidity. Moreover, these treatments prevented the loss of fruit firmness, successfully delayed the escalation of a* and b* values, and reduced malondialdehyde content and superoxide anion generation rate. After 10 days of storage, mango fruit treated by 1-MCP alone or 1-MCP + MT exhibited increased activities of antioxidant enzymes such as ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and other peroxidases; nevertheless, the two treatment protocols maintained higher mango total phenolic content only at the later stage of storage. These findings suggest that mango fruit treated with 1-MCP alone or with 1-MCP + MT improves the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities. Moreover, compared to 1-MCP treatment alone, 1-MCP + MT-treated mangoes exhibited higher quality and a stronger regulation of active metabolism during storage.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to elucidate the influence of TF (5 ± 5 °C, and 5 ± 1 °C) and CT (5 ± 0.1 °C served as an isothermal state) storage environment on the antioxidant ability and energy metabolism in post-harvest apple fruit during storage. Specifically, compared with fruit in TFs groups, the quality attributes of apples in the CT group, including firmness, fresh weight, contents of SSC, and TA were maintained at a higher level. In addition, fruit stored in the CT environment revealed a suppressed respiration rate and EL, lower MDA, O2·-, and H2O2 accumulation but increased the activities of SOD, CAT, APX, and GR. At the end of storage, the SOD, CAT, APX, and GR activities of fruit in the CT group were 38.14%,48.04%, 115.29%, and 34.85% higher than that of the TF5 group, respectively. Fruit in the CT environment also revealed higher AsA, GSH, total phenols, and total flavonoid content. In addition, fruit stored in the CT environment maintained higher ATP content, EC, and more active H+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase, CCO, and SDH. At the end of storage, the SDH and CCO activities of fruit in the TF0.1 group were 1.74, and 2.59 times higher than that in the TF5 group, respectively. Taken together, we attributed the fact that a constant temperature storage environment can retard the fruit senescence to the enhancement of antioxidant capacities and maintaining of higher energy status in apple fruit.

Abstract
Fungal pathogen contamination is one of the most important factors affecting the postharvest quality and shelf life of wolfberry fruits. Therefore, the prevention and control of fungal pathogens that cause fruit rot has become particularly important. Volatile antifungal agents of biological origin have broad application prospects. They may be safer and more efficient than traditional physical and chemical methods. Four pathogenic fungi were isolated and purified from rotting wolfberry. These pathogenic fungi were determined to be Mucor circinelloides LB1, Fusarium arcuatisporum LB5, Alternaria iridiaustralis LB7, and Colletotrichum fioriniae LB8. In vitro fumigation experiments showed that 2,3-butanedione can effectively inhibit the mycelial growth, spore germination, and sporulation ability of pathogenic fungi. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed morphological changes in hyphae. Propidium iodide (PI) Staining and leakage of 260 and 280 nm-absorbing increased, suggesting damage to cell membranes. Furthermore, 2,3-butanedione was found to significantly improve fruit firmness, soluble solid, total phenol, flavonoid, and soluble sugar content, as well as higher SOD enzyme activity and lower PPO and POD enzyme activity in the treated fruit, indicating that 2,3-butanedione can effectively reduce the adverse effects of pathogenic fungi in wolfberry. Based on these results, we conclude that 2,3-butanedione is effective against infection by pathogenic fungi in post-harvest wolfberry. 2,3-butanedione should be considered a viable substitute for conventional fungicides that are currently used to control rot in wolfberry.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the impacts of slightly acidic electrolyzed water (SAEW) treatment on the physiology, quality, and storage properties of postharvest carambola. The carambolas were immersed in SAEW with a pH value of 6.0, ORP of 1340 mV and ACC of 80 mg/L. Results demonstrated that SAEW could significantly reduce the respiration rate, inhibit the increase in cell membrane permeability, and delay apparent color change. Relatively higher contents of bioactive compounds and nutritional components, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, reducing sugars, sucrose, vitamin C, total soluble sugar, and total soluble solid, as well as higher titratable acidity were maintained in SAEW-treated carambola. In addition, SAEW-treated carambola exhibited a higher commercial acceptability rate and a higher firmness, but lower weight loss and peel browning index than control fruits. Our results indicated that SAEW treatment achieved high fruit quality and nutritional values, potentially contributing to improve storage properties of harvested carambola.

Abstract
Due to the global use of cold chain, the development of postharvest technology to reduce chilling injury (CI) in postharvest fruits and vegetables during storage and transport is needed urgently. Considerable evidence shows that maintaining intracellular adenosine triphosphate (iATP) in harvested fruits and vegetables is beneficial to inhibiting CI occurrence. Extracellular ATP (eATP) is a damage-associated signal molecule and plays an important role in CI of postharvest fruits and vegetables through its receptor and subsequent signal transduction under low-temperature stress. The development of new aptasensors for the simultaneous determination of eATP level allows for better understanding of the roles of eATP in a myriad of responses mediated by low-temperature stress in relation to the chilling tolerance of postharvest fruits and vegetables. The multiple biological functions of eATP and its receptors in postharvest fruits and vegetables were attributed to interactions with reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) in coordination with phytohormones and other signaling molecules via downstream physiological activities. The complicated interconnection among eATP in relation to its receptors, eATP/iATP homeostasis, ROS, NO, and heat shock proteins triggered by eATP recognition has been emphasized. This paper reviews recent advances in the beneficial effects of energy handling, outlines the production and homeostasis of eATP, discusses the possible mechanism of eATP and its receptors in chilling tolerance, and provides future research directions for CI in postharvest fruits and vegetables during low-temperature storage.

Abstract
Flat peach fruit are cold-sensitive and vulnerable to chilling injury (CI), particularly internal browning (IB) during cold storage, which limits the consumer acceptance and market value of the fruit. Controlled atmosphere (CA) has been used to alleviate IB in fruit. However, the mechanisms of CA on IB in peach remains unknown. This study investigated the effects of CA (3-3.5% Oxygen, 3-3.5% Carbon dioxide, and 93-94% nitrogen) treatment on IB development, sugar metabolism, and energy metabolism in cold-stored (1 ± 0.5 °C) peach. The CA treatment effectively inhibited the development of IB and markedly inhibited the reduction of sugar contents and energy charge. The protein expression of the V-type proton ATPase subunit was significantly inhibited by the CA treatment, accompanied by higher adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content, and energy charge than the control fruit. Notably, the expressions of the pyruvate kinase family of proteins, pyruvate decarboxylases, and sucrose synthase were induced by CA treatment that had complex protein interactions with the ATPase and the energy metabolism pathway. These results indicated that CA treatment enhanced the chilling tolerance attributed to maintaining higher levels of energy status and sugar contents by regulating the expression of key proteins involved in energy metabolism during cold storage and shelf life. Taken together, our study can provide theoretical support for the research and development of fresh-keeping and cold-chain logistics technology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracellular ATP (exATP) has been shown to act as a signal molecule for regulating growth, development, and responses of plants to the external environment. RESULTS In this study, we investigated the possible involvement of exATP in regulating the stunted growth caused by repeated wounding. The present work showed that the repeated wounding caused the decreases in leaf area, fresh weight, dry weight, and root length of Arabidopsis seedlings, while the exATP level was enhanced by the repeated wounding. Repeated application of exogenous ATP had similar effects on the plant growth, as the repeated wounding. Through the comparison of p2k1-3 mutant (in which T-DNA disrupted the gene coding P2K1, as exATP receptor) and wide type (WT) plants, it was found that the mutation in P2K1 decreased the sensitivity of plant growth to the repeated wounding and exogenous ATP application. Further works showed that the ibuprofen (IBU, an inhibitor of jasmonate biosynthesis) partially rescued the wound-induced growth degradation. In comparison, the P2K1 mutation partly rescued the wound-induced growth degradation, whereas this mutation failed to do so in the wounded seedlings treated with IBU, indicating that the role of exATP in regulating the growth degradation by repeated wounding could be linked to the JA signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, these results indicate that exATP could be a regulator for the stunted growth of plants by repeated wounding.

ε-Poly-l-Lysine Enhances Fruit Disease Resistance in Postharvest Longans ( Dimocarpus longan Lour.) by Modulating Energy Status and ATPase Activity. Foods 2022; 11:foods11050773.

Abstract
ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) holds a strong antibacterial property and is widely used for food preservation. However, the application of ε-PL to enhance fruit disease resistance in postharvest longans (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) has not been explored. The objective of this study was to explore the impact of ε-PL treatment on disease occurrence and energy metabolism of longans infected with Phomopsis longanae Chi (P. longanae). It was found that, in comparison with P. longanae-inoculated longans, ε-PL could decrease the fruit disease index and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) content, increase the amounts of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and energy charge, and enhance the activities of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) (such as H+-, Mg2+-, and Ca2+-ATPase) in the mitochondria, protoplasm, and vacuole. The results suggest that the higher levels of ATPase activity and energy status played essential roles in disease resistance of postharvest longan fruit. Therefore, the ε-PL treatment can be used as a safe and efficient postharvest method to inhibit the disease occurrence of longan fruit during storage at room temperature.

Abstract
Plant extracts represent a rich repository of metabolites with antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Neem (Azadirachta indica) is a medicinal plant considered the tree of the 21st century. In this study, we investigated the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of propyl disulfide (PD), a major volatile compound in neem seed, against the pericarp browning (BI), microbial decay incidence (DI), and water loss of longan fruit. Fresh longan cv. Shixia samples were packaged in oriented polypropylene (OPP) and polyethene (PE) packages of different thicknesses (20, 40, and 60 µm). Sterile gauze was fixed inside the packages and 500 uL of PD was placed on them to avoid the direct contact of PD with fruit samples. Packages were sealed immediately to minimize vaporization and stored at 12 ± 1 °C for 18 days. Fruit samples packaged in open net packages served as controls. The results showed that fruit treated with PD in OPP and PE packages significantly prevented losses of water, DI, and BI compared to control treatment. PD also maintained the color, TSS values, TA values, pH values, high peel firmness, high TPC content, and high TFC content, and reduced the activity levels of PPO and POD. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis indicated that the exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp of longan peel were smooth, uniform, and compact with no free space compared to control, where crakes, a damaged and loose structure, and a lot of fungal mycelia were found. The shortest shelf life of 9 days was observed in control as compared to 18 days in OPP-20 and OPP-40; 15 days in OPP-60, PE-20, and PE-40; and 12 days in PE-60 packaging films. Therefore, PD as a natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agent, in combination with OPP-20 and OPP-40 polymeric films, could successfully be applied commercially to extend the postharvest shelf life of longan.

Abstract
The impacts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger ascorbic acid (AsA) treatment on the storability and quality attributes of 'Fuyan' longan fruit were explored. Compared to control samples, the treatment of 4 g L-1 AsA solution clearly reduced fruit weight loss, indexes of fruit disease and pericarp browning, retained higher percentage of commercially acceptable fruit, higher values of chromaticity a∗, chromaticity b∗ , and chromaticity L∗ , delayed pigment degradation in longan pericarp, and retarded the decreases of nutritive ingredients in longan pulp. When stored for 6 d, vitamin C (0.08 g kg-1), sucrose (20.70 g kg-1), total soluble sugar (56.32 g kg-1), and total soluble solids (12.4%) in AsA-treated fruit displayed the clearly higher contents than those in control samples. These data suggested that the treatment of exogenous ROS scavenger AsA could effectively enhance the quality attributes and storability of postharvest longan fruit, thereby lengthen their postharvest shelf-life.

Enhance Fruit Ripening Uniformity and Accelerate the Rutab Stage by Using ATP in 'Zaghloul' Dates during the Shelf Life. Foods 2021; 10:foods10112641.

Abstract
The Rutab date involves a physiological process by which the fruit turns completely ripe. The objective of this study was to research the effect of ATP-treated fruit to improve their biologically active compounds of the Rutab process of the 'Zagloul' date during shelf-life. Fruits at full color (red) were dipped in 0, 1, 1.5 mmol L-1 ATP solution for 10 min, and then stored at room temperature (27 ± 1 °C) with a relative humidity of (67 ± 4 RH%) for 12 d. We found that ATP treatment, especially at 1.5 mM, enhances the Rutab stage of date fruit, and certain biologically active compounds such as total phenols and flavonoids, in all ATP treatments compared to untreated fruits. ATP enhanced the loss of tannin compounds in fruit but had no impact on the change in fruit moisture percentage of fruit during storage. The treatments did affect the changes in total sugar content and activated the sucrose enzymes, i.e., acid invertase (AI), neutral invertase (NI), sucrose synthase-cleavage (SS-c), and sucrose synthase-synthesis (SS-s) during storage. Interestingly, immersion in 1.5 mM ATP forced the date fruit to reach the Rutab stage during storage. These results indicated that the dose of ATP (1.5 mM) is a new potential tool that pushes the fruits to regular ripening after harvest, thus reducing the losses in the fruits during the production process. A linear model could be satisfactorily used for predicting the properties of the treated date with ATP 1.5 mM at different shelf-life durations.

Abstract
The respiratory metabolism of apples remains vigorous after harvest, which can accelerate the consumption of sugar, organic acid, and other substances, thus leading to a decline in quality. The influence of postharvest ATP treatment on the changes of quality parameters and sucrose metabolism-related enzyme activity in apples was investigated in this study. The results showed that applying ATP effectively repressed the respiratory rate and weight loss and maintained higher levels of soluble solids content and flesh firmness in apples. In addition, ATP treatment enhanced succinate dehydrogenase, cytochrome oxidase, sucrose phosphate synthase, and sucrose synthase synthesis activities and reduced neutral invertase, acid invertase, and sucrose synthase cleavage activities in apples. These findings suggest that applying ATP after harvest could improve the internal quality of apples by suppressing the respiratory rate and modulating sucrose metabolism.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to use acidic electrolyzed water (AEW) to treat longan fruit and evaluate the effects of AEW treatment on storability, quality attributes and nutritive properties of longans during storage. The data indicated that, as compared to the control samples, AEW treatment could effectively reduce the respiration rate and pericarp cell membrane permeability, retard the occurrences of pericarp browning, pulp breakdown and fruit disease, keep a higher rate of commercially acceptable fruit. Additionally, AEW treatment could suppress the decrease of chromaticity values of L*, a* and b* of the fruit surface, keep higher amounts of pericarp carotenoid, chlorophyll, flavonoid and anthocyanin, maintain higher amounts of pulp total soluble solid (TSS), total soluble sugars, sucrose and vitamin C. These results demonstrated that AEW treatment at pH of 2.5, ACC of 80 mg/L could maintain higher quality attributes and nutritive properties, and display better storability of harvested longans.

Abstract
Effects of various concentrations of Kadozan (chitosan) treatment on storability and quality properties of harvested 'Fuyan' longans were investigated. Compared to the control samples, Kadozan treated-longans displayed lower fruit respiration rate, lower pericarp cell membrane permeability, pericarp browning index, pulp breakdown index, fruit disease index, and weight loss, but higher rate of commercially acceptable fruit, higher levels of pericarp chlorophyll, carotenoid, anthocyanin, flavonoid and total phenolics, higher amounts of pulp total soluble sugar, sucrose, total soluble solids, and vitamin C. These results revealed Kadozan treatment could increase storability and retain better quality of harvested longan fruit. Among different concentrations of Kadozan, the dilution of 1:500 (VKadozan: VKadozan + Water) showed the best results in storability and maintained the best quality of longans during storage. These findings demonstrated that Kadozan could be a facile and eco-friendly postharvest handling approach for increasing storability and lengthening shelf-life of harvested 'Fuyan' longan fruit.

Food Chem 2019; 305:125439. [PMID: 31499287 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2019.125439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Revised: 08/24/2019] [Accepted: 08/27/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Compared to the control longans, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-treated longans exhibited higher index of pulp breakdown, higher fruit respiration rate, higher activities of pulp phosphohexose isomerase (PGI), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), cytochrome C oxidase (CCO), ascorbic acid oxidase (AAO) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), but lower activity of pulp nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide kinase (NADK). H2O2-treated longans also exhibited lower total activities of pulp glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6-PGDH), lower levels of pulp NADP(H), but higher levels of pulp NAD(H). These data indicated that H2O2-stimulated longan pulp breakdown was owing to a decreased proportion of pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), the increased proportions of Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway (EMP), tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and cytochrome pathway (CCP) in total respiratory pathways. These findings further revealed that H2O2 could enhance respiration rate, and thus accelerate pulp breakdown occurrence and shorten the shelf life of longan fruit.

Abstract
Exogenous adenosine triphosphate (ATP) treatment at 0, 250, 500, 750, and 1000 µM retarded cap browning in mushrooms by 0, 34, 26, 51 and 32 %, respectively, during storage at 4 °C for 18 days. Triggering signaling H2O2 accumulation arising from elevating NADPH oxidase enzyme activity during 6 days of storage at 4 °C may be pivotal for promoting shikimate dehydrogenase enzyme activity in mushrooms treated with ATP during 18 days of storage at 4 °C. Promoting melatonin accumulation (390 µg kg-1 FW vs. 160 µg kg-1 FW) in mushrooms treated with ATP during cold storage may attribute to signaling H2O2 accumulation. Higher DPPH scavenging capacity (72 % vs. 65 %) in mushrooms treated with ATP may attribute to higher phenols accumulation arising from higher phenylalanine ammonialyase/polyphenol oxidase enzymes activity concomitant with higher alternative oxidase gene expression during 18 days of storage at 4 °C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antagonistic yeast and hot air treatment are two promising methods for conferring resistance to pathogenic fungi. The study assessed the effectiveness of hot-air treatment (45 °C, 4 h) and antagonistic yeast (Pichia guilliermondii at 108 CFU mL-1 ) alone or in combination on the two major postharvest diseases (Rhizopus stolonifer and Penicillium expansum), as well as the quality and antioxidant parameters in harvested peaches. RESULTS The combination of hot-air treatment and Pichia guilliermondii had notable inhibitory effects on infections in peach fruit wounds. In addition, the individual hot-air treatment or Pichia guilliermondii could improve quality indexes to varying degrees, but the combination of the above two treatments could achieve the highest efficacy. Furthermore, compared with other groups, the combined treatment induced the highest activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase, improved the content of total phenolics and reduced glutathione most obviously. Lastly, the most significant reductions in malondialdehyde content and relative electrical conductivity were observed in the combination-treated fruit. CONCLUSIONS The combined treatment could control fungal diseases, besides delay the decline of quality and antioxidant parameters, so as to achieve the purpose of fresh keeping for harvested peach fruit. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Low-temperature storage is a key method for delaying the ripening of "Nanguo" pears. However, the aroma of "Nanguo" pears fades after long-term refrigeration. We investigated the potential mechanism of fading of aroma in "Nanguo" pears by analyzing differentially expressed proteins in pears stored at room temperature, which had higher level of aromatic esters and those stored at low temperature, having lower esters. We observed that 293 kinds of proteins were down-regulated and 377 were up-regulated. Gene ontology analysis showed that proteins in the "catalytic activity," "metabolic process," "organelle," and "membrane" proteins were affected by low temperature. KEGG analysis showed that the differentially expressed proteins were involved in oxidative phosphorylation, carbon and fatty acid metabolism. Real-time PCR showed that transcription levels of nine selected genes correlated with differentially expressed proteins. The results revealed that the expression of potentially aroma-related proteins, which are important in further research on improving aroma quality of "Nanguo" pears. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: "Nanguo" pears aroma is an important character for attracting consumers and many proteins are involved in the synthesis of aroma. However, their aroma is lost after cold storage and the quality of fruits is affected by low temperature. It is, therefore, of great significance to study the potential proteins that regulate the aroma of refrigerated "Nanguo" pears. In addition, the study results could provide basic and scientific data for the study of improving the aroma quality and genetic improvement of "Nanguo" pears.

Abstract
This study investigated the changes in metabolisms of membrane lipids and phenolics caused by Phomopsis longanae Chi infection in association with pericarp browning and fruit disease occurrence of postharvest longans. Compared with the uninoculated-longans, the longans inoculated by P. longanae exhibited higher cellular membrane permeability; higher PLD, lipase, and LOX activities; and higher levels of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) and phosphatidic acid but lower levels of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylcholine, and unsaturated fatty acids (USFAs). Additionally, the longans inoculated by P. longanae showed higher activities of POD and PPO but a lower amount of total phenolics. These findings suggested that infection of P. longanae enhanced activities of PLD-, lipase-, and LOX- stimulated degradations of membrane lipids and USFAs, which destroyed the integrity of the cell membrane structure, resulting in enzymatic browning by contact of phenolics with POD and PPO, and resulting in reduction of resistance to pathogen infection and accordingly accelerated disease occurrence of postharvest longan fruit.

Abstract
Phomopsis longanae Chi is a major pathogenic fungus that infects harvested longan fruit. This study aimed to investigate the effects of P. longanae on reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism and its relation to the pericarp browning and disease development of harvested longan fruit during storage at 28°C and 90% relative humidity. Results showed that compared to the control longans, P. longanae-inoculated longans displayed higher indexes of pericarp browning and fruit disease, higher O2 -. generation rate, higher accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA), lower contents of glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid (AsA), lower 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging ability and reducing power in pericarp. In addition, P. longanae-infected longans exhibited higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) in the first 2 days of storage, and lower activities of SOD, CAT, and APX during storage day 2-5 than those in the control longans. These findings indicated that pericarp browning and disease development of P. longanae-infected longan fruit might be the result of the reducing ROS scavenging ability and the increasing O2 -. generation rate, which might lead to the peroxidation of membrane lipid, the loss of compartmentalization in longan pericarp cells, and subsequently cause polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) to contact with phenolic substrates which result in enzymatic browning of longan pericarp, as well as cause the decrease of disease resistance to P. longanae and stimulate disease development of harvested longan fruit.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Pat.) Griff. & Maubl (L. theobromae) inoculation on the energy status and activity of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) during L. theobromae-induced disease development and pericarp browning of harvested 'Fuyan' longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour. cv. Fuyan) fruit. The results showed that, compared to the control longans, L. theobromae-inoculated longans displayed higher indices of fruit disease and pericarp browning, lower pericarp ATP and ADP contents, higher AMP content, lower level of energy charge, as well as lower activities of Ca2+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase and H+-ATPase in membranes of plasma, vacuole, and mitochondria. These results indicated that the infection of L. theobromae reduced energy status and ATPase activities, caused ions disorder, damaged the integrity and function of the cell and organelles including vacuole and mitochondria in pericarp of longan fruit, which contributed to L. theobromae-promoted disease development and pericarp browning of harvested longan fruit during storage.

Abstract
The role of energy status in germination and sprouting of broccoli seeds was investigated by exogenous ATP and DNP treatments. With the synthesis of adenylates from 38.82 to 142.69 mg·100 g-1 DW, the nutritive components (soluble sugar, proteins, pigments, and phenolics) and AAs were increased during germination and early sprouting (day 5). Elements of the BoSnRK2 pathway were down-regulated by more than 2 fold under the energy charge feedback inhibition. At the end of sprouting (day 7), energy depletion resulted in slowdown or reduced nutritional accumulation and antioxidant capacities. Exogenous ATP depressed the BoSnRK2 pathway by maintaining the energy status at high levels and further promoted the nutrition and antioxidant levels. It also prevented the energy depletion at day 7. On the contrary, DNP reduced the ATP contents (16.10-26.86%) and activated the BoSnRK2 pathway. It also notably suppressed the energy-consuming activities including germination, sprouts growth, and secondary metabolic synthesis.

Abstract
Compared to P. longanae-inoculated longan fruit, DNP-treated P. longanae-inoculated longans displayed higher fruit disease index, pericarp browning index and cell membrane permeability. Moreover, they exhibited higher activities of phospholipase D, lipase and lipoxygenase, lower amounts of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol and USFA (unsaturated fatty acids) as well as higher amounts of phosphatidic acid and SFA (saturated fatty acids). Additionally, lower ratio of USFA to SFA and USFA index were shown in DNP-treated P. longanae-inoculated longans. However, ATP-treated P. longanae-inoculated longans exhibited the opposite results. These findings indicated that DNP stimulated longan pericarp browning and disease development caused by P. longanae resulted from the increases in activities of membrane lipids-degrading enzymes, promoting degradation of membrane phospholipids and USFA, and disruption of membrane structural integrity. Whereas, the opposite results observed in ATP-treated P. longanae-inoculated longans were due to the reduction in activities of membrane lipids-degrading enzymes and the maintenance of membrane structural integrity.

Abstract
Longan fruit is a popular subtropical fruit with a relatively short shelf life at room temperature mainly due to pericarp browning and fungal infection. This study aimed to investigate the infection of Phomopsis longanae Chi in longan fruit and its effects on the storability and shelf life of longan fruit. The relationship between the energy metabolism of harvested longan fruit and disease development and pericarp browning was elucidated. Results show that P. longanae-inoculation accelerated the deterioration of longan fruit and caused pericarp browning. It also led to the energy deficit in pericarp of longan fruit, which was reflected as lower contents of ATP and ADP, higher AMP content, and lower energy charge as compared to the control samples. Additionally, P. longanae-infection reduced the activities of H+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase, and Mg2+-ATPase in plasma, vacuolar, and mitochondrial membranes during the storage period. The results demonstrate that P. longanae-infection led to disease development and pericarp browning in harvested longan fruit, which were due to the infection-induced energy deficit and low ATPase activity that caused disorders of ion transport and distribution, and damaged the structure and function of vacuole, mitochondria, and eventually the whole cells of fruit tissues.

Abstract
The effects of Kadozan (a novel chitosan formulation) treatment on physiological attribute, nutritional quality and storage behavior of harvested "Wuye" litchi fruit were studied. Compared with control litchis, Kadozan treatment significantly decreased fruit respiration rate, retarded the increase of pericarp cell membrane permeability, maintained higher contents of anthocyanins and flavonoids and higher values of L∗, a∗ and b∗ in litchi pericarp, and reduced the decreases of titratable acidity, total soluble solids, total soluble sugars, and vitamin C contents in litchi pulp, maintaining better quality of litchis. Furthermore, Kadozan treatment decreased browning index and disease index of litchis, kept higher rate of commercially acceptable fruit, and reduced fruit weight loss, showing better storage behavior of litchis under ambient temperature. The optimal Kadozan treatment for litchis was the 1:100 (VKadozan: VKadozan + Water) dilution, which might be a promising method for keeping quality and prolonging shelf-life of harvested "Wuye" litchi fruit.

Abstract
The effects of exogenous ATP on the postharvest quality, browning and softening of mung bean (Vigna radiata) sprouts were evaluated. ATP treatment significantly alleviated the quality loss and browning events during the storage of 3 days. It also reduced the oxidant damage by inducing high activities of peroxidase (9.3-13.9%) and superoxide dismutase (8.8-10.3%) which scavenged the reactive oxygen species (ROS) effectively. Transcriptional results indicated that ATP treatment decreased VrPL1, VrPME and VrPG1 gene expression levels more than 2 folds at some time points. Furthermore, the atomic force microscope (AFM) images revealed that the pectin degradation was notably slowed by ATP treatment and the width and height of pectin backbone were better maintained (47.1% and 45.6% higher than control without ATP treatment). The cooperative effects of ROS scavenging and decreased expressions of pectin-related genes might contribute to the deferred pectin deterioration and firmness loss by ATP treatment.

JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2017; 97:5335-5342. [PMID: 28493432 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.8422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2016] [Revised: 04/26/2017] [Accepted: 05/05/2017] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effects of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on phenol metabolism and preservation of fresh in-hull walnuts have been investigated. Fruit was packaged under MAP1 (film thickness, 30 μm), MAP2 (45 μm) and MAP3 (50 μm) and stored at -0.5 to 1.0 °C for up to 60 days. RESULTS Firmness, soluble solid concentration, total phenols, total flavonoids and total antioxidant activity of the green hull were maintained at higher levels under the MAP conditions, whereas decay incidence was lower compared to the control during storage. Green hull of fruit under MAP conditions contained lower polyphenol oxidase activity than the control and the peroxidase activity was at a similar level to the control after 18 days. Phenylalanine ammonialyase activity was enhanced by MAP conditions, with two peaks on days 18 and 36. Until day 60, the peroxide value and acid value of kernel oils under MAP conditions were lower than that of the control. CONCLUSION The MAP3 treatment was most effective for maintaining kernel quality. The protective role of MAP conditions on phenolic contents in green hull may contribute to the mitigation of decay and the maintenance of kernel quality. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.
