Recent advances and role of melatonin in post-harvest quality preservation of shiitake ( Lentinula edodes). Front Nutr 2024; 11:1348235. [PMID: 38571753 PMCID: PMC10987784 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2024.1348235] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Shiitake mushrooms are renowned for their popularity and robust nutritional value, are susceptible to spoilage due to their inherent biodegradability. Nevertheless, because of their lack of protection, these mushrooms have a short shelf life. Throughout the post-harvest phase, mushrooms experience a persistent decline in quality. This is evidenced by changes such as discoloration, reduced moisture content, texture changes, an increase in microbial count, and the depletion of nutrients and flavor. Ensuring postharvest quality preservation and prolonging mushroom shelf life necessitates the utilization of post-harvest preservation techniques, including physical, chemical, and thermal processes. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the deterioration processes affecting mushroom quality, covering elements such as moisture loss, discoloration, texture alterations, increased microbial count, and the depletion of nutrients and flavor. It also explores the key factors influencing these processes, such as temperature, relative humidity, water activity, and respiration rate. Furthermore, the review delves into recent progress in preserving mushrooms through techniques such as drying, cooling, packaging, irradiation, washing, and coating.

Sci Rep 2024; 14:747. [PMID: 38185662 PMCID: PMC10772075 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-46744-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play crucial roles in response to aging processes. However, how lncRNAs regulate postharvest senescence of Sparassis latifolia (S. latifolia) with oriented polypropylene (OPP) film packing during cold storage remains unclear. In this study, we performed RNA-seq using the fruiting bodies of S. latifolia stored at 4 ℃ for 0, 8, 16 and 24 days after harvest, and profiled the lncRNA and mRNA transcriptome, respectively. In total, 1003 putative lncRNAs were identified, and there were 495, 483 and 162 differentially expressed (DE) lncRNAs, and 3680, 3941 and 1870 differentially expressed mRNAs after 8, 16 and 24 days of storage, respectively, compared to 0 day of storage. Target genes of differentially expressed lncRNAs were found to significantly associate with carbon and energy metabolism, response to abiotic stimulus, amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism, and protein synthesis and transcription. In addition, DE-lncRNA-mRNA co-expression networks in response to aging stress were also constructed. Taken together, these results confirm the regulatory role of lncRNAs in postharvest senescence of S. latifolia and will facilitate for improving preservation method.

Food Chem 2023; 429:136901. [PMID: 37487395 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.136901] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023]
Abstract
In order to improve the effectiveness of the active packaging, we aimed to develop an active packaging film with unidirectional sustained release, high barrier protection, and seamless attachment between the layers. An active film based on glutenin/tamarind gum loaded with the binary microemulsion of melatonin/pummelo essential oil (G/T-M-E) with sustained release and combination effects of internal and external layers was prepared. The outer barrier layer exerted an excellent protective barrier effect after adding (3-chloropropyl) triethoxysilane, which effectively reduced external interference and the ineffective diffusion of active substances in the inner layer. The effective attachment of melatonin and essential oil layer in the G/T-M-E film enhanced antioxidation, microorganism inhibition, and free-radical-scavenging properties, which effectively delayed the senescence of post-harvest white mushrooms. Furthermore, the G/T-M-E exhibited excellent tensile strength, barrier capacity, and load-bearing strength, which had a potential, positive effect on food preservation. Therefore, this film is highly recommended for packaging purposes.

High AIECL performance of tetraphenylethene derivatives originated from the linear increasing of benzene ring and solvent regulation for sensitive measurement of melatonin. Biosens Bioelectron 2023; 237:115544. [PMID: 37536226 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2023.115544] [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: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
The efficiency of aggregation-induced electrochemiluminescence (AIECL) in tetraphenylethene (TPE) derivatives were significantly enhanced by combining the regulation of molecular structure and solvent. Firstly, the linear increase of the benzene ring resulted in enhanced molecular aggregation and promoted the electrochemical reaction of the anode, due to increased molecular conjugation and higher lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO). The ECL efficiency of 4,4,4,4-(Ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl) tetrakis (([1,1,4,1-terphenyl]-4-carbaldehyde)) (T3) nanoparticles (NPs) with more benzene rings were 5558 times that of 4,4,4,4-(ethene-1,1,2,2-tetrayl) tetrabenzaldehyde (T1) NPs, and its relative ECL efficiency of T3 NPs reached 55.58% compared to the [Ru (bpy)3]2+/tripropylamine (TPrA) system. Furthermore, solvents with different polarities played a crucial role in modulating the degree of molecular aggregation, which also effectively facilitated the AIE process and reduced the aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect caused by excessively dense aggregation. This aspect had often been overlooked in previous AIECL studies. T3 NPs demonstrated optimal ECL performance at fw = 70% (fw was the H2O content in tetrahydrofuran (THF)/H2O), and its ECL efficiency was 232 times greater than fw = 100% and 1853 times greater than fw = 0%. Additionally, it was found that melatonin (MT), one of the hormones widely used to treat insomnia, exhibited antioxidant and free radical scavenging properties, which exerted a significant quenching effect on the ECL of the T3 NPs/TPrA system. Consequently, a sensitive sensing platform was developed for MT with a low detection limit of 8.78 × 10-10 mol L-1, which promoted the application of AIECL in efficient ultra-sensitive biosensing.

Melatonin Treatment Maintains the Quality of Fresh-Cut Gastrodia elata under Low-Temperature Conditions by Regulating Reactive Oxygen Species Metabolism and Phenylpropanoid Pathway. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14284. [PMID: 37762587 PMCID: PMC10531901 DOI: 10.3390/ijms241814284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The application of melatonin (MT) has been shown to improve the quality during the storage of fruits and vegetables. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the effects of MT on the quality of fresh-cut Gastrodia elata during low-temperature (4 °C) storage. The results indicated that MT treatment not only suppressed the respiratory rate and malondialdehyde content but also slowed down the decline in total acidity and total soluble solids, effectively inhibiting microbial growth and enhancing the product safety of fresh-cut G. elata. The treatment with MT reduced the superoxide anions and hydrogen peroxide production, as well as inhibiting the activity and expression of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase. Additionally, it led to increased activity and the expression of antioxidant-related enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, monodehydroascorbate reductase, and dehydroascorbate reductase, while also resulting in elevated levels of ascorbic acid and glutathione. Furthermore, the treatment with MT induced an increase in the total phenolic and flavonoid content of fresh-cut G. elata and enhanced the activity and expression of key enzymes involved in the phenylpropanoid pathway (phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, cinnamate-4-hydroxylase, 4-coumarate: CoA ligase). In summary, MT enhances the antioxidant capacity by activating both the ROS metabolism and phenylpropanoid pathway, thus maintaining the quality of fresh-cut G. elata.

Abstract
Introduction Low temperature is the most common method used to maintain the freshness of Phlebopus portentosus during long-distance transportation. However, there is no information regarding the nutritional changes that occur in P. portentosus preserved postharvest in low temperature. Methods In this study, the changes in flavor quality and bioactive components in fruiting bodies stored at 4 °C for different storage periods were determined through LC/MS and GC/MS analyses. Sampling was performed at 0, 3, 5, 7, and 13 days storage. Results and Discussion Based on the results, the metabolites present in caps and stipes were different at the same period and significantly different after 7 days of storage. A total of 583 and 500 different metabolites were detected in caps and stipes, respectively, and were mainly lipids and lipid-like molecules, organic acids and derivatives, organic oxygen compounds and others. Except for prenol lipids and nucleotides, the expression levels of most metabolites increased with longer storage time. In addition, geosmin was identified as the major contributor to earthy-musty odors, and the level of geosmin was increased when the storage time was short. Conclusion The variations in these metabolites might cause changes in flavor quality and bioactive components in P. portentosus. Variations in these metabolites were thoroughly analyzed, and the results revealed how storage processes affect the postharvest quality of P. portentosus for the first time.

Abstract
Edible mushrooms are the highly demanded foods of which production and consumption have been steadily increasing globally. Owing to the quality loss and short shelf-life in harvested mushrooms, it is necessary for the implementation of effective preservation and intelligent evaluation technologies to alleviate this issue. The aim of this review was to analyze the development and innovation thematic lines, topics, and trends by bibliometric analysis and review of the literature methods. The challenges faced in researching these topics were proposed and the mechanisms of quality loss in mushrooms during storage were updated. This review summarized the effects of chemical processing (antioxidants, ozone, and coatings), physical treatments (non-thermal plasma, packaging and latent thermal storage) and other emerging application on the quality of fresh mushrooms while discussing the efficiency in extending the shelf-life. It also discussed the emerging evaluation techniques based on the various chemometric methods and computer vision system in monitoring the freshness and predicting the shelf-life of mushrooms which have been developed. Preservation technology optimization and dynamic quality evaluation are vital for achieving mushroom quality control. This review can provide a comprehensive research reference for reducing mushroom quality loss and extending shelf-life, along with optimizing efficiency of storage and transportation operations.

Abstract
China has a large variety of edible mushrooms and ranks first in the world in terms of production and variety. Nevertheless, due to their high moisture content and rapid respiration rate, they experience constant quality deterioration, browning of color, loss of moisture, changes in texture, increases in microbial populations, and loss of nutrition and flavor during postharvest storage. Therefore, this paper reviews the effects of essential oils and plant extracts on the preservation of edible mushrooms and summarizes their mechanisms of action to better understand their effects during the storage of mushrooms. The quality degradation process of edible mushrooms is complex and influenced by internal and external factors. Essential oils and plant extracts are considered environmentally friendly preservation methods for better postharvest quality. This review aims to provide a reference for the development of new green and safe preservation and provides research directions for the postharvest processing and product development of edible mushrooms.

Abstract
Browning is one of the major effects of shelf-life responsible for the reduction in the commercial value of the button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus). In this study, the individual and the combined effects of exogenous sodium nitroprusside (SNP, a nitric oxide donor) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the quality of button mushrooms were evaluated. The results demonstrated that mushrooms treated with SNP+1-MCP promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism thereby protecting cell membrane integrity, hindering polyphenol oxidase (PPO) binding to phenolic compounds, and downregulating the PPO activity. In addition, the SNP+1-MCP treatment effectively maintained quality (firmness, color, total phenol, and flavonoid) and mitigated oxidative damage by reducing ROS accumulation and malondialdehyde production through the stimulation of the antioxidant enzymes activities and the enhancement of ascorbic acid (AsA) and glutathione (GSH) contents. Moreover, the correlation analysis validated the above results. The SNP+1-MCP treatment was observed to be more prominent on maintaining quality than the individual effects of SNP followed by 1-MCP, suggesting that the combination of NO and 1-MCP had synergistic effects in retarding button mushrooms senescence, and NO signaling molecules might be predominant in the synergy.

Abstract
Postharvest yellowing of leafy plant is a manifestation of senescence, and melatonin (MT) is known to delay leaf senescence in some higher plants. Herein, we investigated the effect of exogenous MT treatment on postharvest pakchoi by monitoring the ethylene biosynthesis and respiratory metabolism. Results showed that exogenous MT effectively extended the shelf life, delayed leaf yellowing, minimized the alteration in Fv/Fm ratio and maintained higher integrity of chloroplast in pakchoi. There was a significant correlation between yellowing index, respiration rate and ethylene production. MT treatments greatly delayed the yellowing process of pakchoi that was associated with the reduced activity of glycolysis pathway and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), increased proportion of pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) in respiratory metabolism, as manifested by the lower activity of phosphohexose isomerase (PHI), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and cytochrome C oxidase (COX), downregulated the expression of their corresponding genes, but enhanced the activity and expression level of 6 phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH). MT also markedly maintain chlorophyll content by inhibiting ethylene production and action during shelf life, likely a consequence of reduced activities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase (ACS) and ACC oxidase (ACO), as well as the expression levels of their related genes. These results collectively indicate that melatonin alleviated leaf yellowing of postharvest pakchoi might be attributed to the suppression of the ethylene biosynthesis and respiratory metabolism, and our findings contribute to provide a good candidate measure for extending shelf life and reducing postharvest loss of pakchoi.

Fu Y, Yu Y, Tan H, Wang B, Peng W, Sun Q. Metabolomics reveals dopa melanin involved in the enzymatic browning of the yellow cultivars of East Asian golden needle mushroom (Flammulina filiformis). Food Chem 2022; 370:131295. [PMID: 34788955 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.131295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2021] [Revised: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
Browning seriously causes postharvest deterioration of the yellow cultivars of Flammulina filiformis, yet the browning process and its mechanism have not been described. Changes of L*, a*, b* values, the browning and whiteness index during air contacted storage were evaluated, uncovering the great loss of brightness and meanwhile the accumulation of yellowness and redness. Browning tissue showed an increase of malondialdehyde, total phenolics, and browning-related enzyme activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase, in contrast to the decrease of bioprotective catalase, superoxide, and dismutase. Non-targeted metabolomics revealed an upregulation of melanin synthesis under oxidation stress, and targeted LC-MS/MS verified the upregulation of l-dopa (3,4-dihydroxy-l-phenylalanine) during browning. Pyrrole-2,3,5-tricarboxylic acid was identified in the degradation products of browning pigments after alkaline hydrogen peroxide by LC-MS/MS, suggesting the existence of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid derived units of eumelanin. Therefore, the biosynthesis of eumelanin via l-dopa pathway could participate in the enzymatic browning of postharvest F. filiformis.

Abstract
In this study, 'Golden Delicious' apples were dipped with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) solution to investigate the changes of quality parameters, ethylene anabolism, polyamine metabolism and GABA shunt. Results showed that GABA distinctly suppressed respiratory rate, reduced titratable acidity, maintained higher soluble solid content and pericarp firmness of apples. Compared to the control, GABA also repressed the activities and gene expressions of polyamine oxidase (PAO) and diamine oxidase (DAO), enhanced MdMT, MdMS, MdSAMS, MdSAMDC, MdSPDS, MdODC, MdADC, and MdACL5 expressions, and accelerated the accumulation of putrescine, spermidine, and spermine in the exocarp of apples. Moreover, GABA decreased ethylene release, MdACS and MdACO gene expressions in the exocarp. In addition, exogenous GABA activated MdGAD, MdGDH, MdGS expressions and inhibited MdGABA-T and MdSSADH expressions in the GABA shunt, therefore increased endogenous GABA, pyruvic acid and glutamate contents in the exocarp. These findings suggest that exogenous GABA regulates ethylene anabolism, polyamine metabolism and GABA shunt to maintain fruit quality of 'Golden Delicious' apples.

Biosynthetic Pathway and the Potential Role of Melatonin at Different Abiotic Stressors and Developmental Stages in Tolypocladium guangdongense. Front Microbiol 2021; 12:746141.

Abstract
Melatonin, a bioactive compound and an important signaling molecule produced in plants and animals, is involved in many biological processes. However, its function and synthetic pathways in fungi are poorly understood. Here, the samples from Tolypocladium guangdongense, a highly valued edible fungus with functional food properties, were collected under different experimental conditions to quantify the levels of melatonin and its intermediates. The results showed that the intracellular melatonin content was markedly improved by Congo red (CR), cold, and heat stresses; the levels of intracellular melatonin and its intermediates increased at the primordial (P) and fruiting body (FB) stages. However, the levels of most intermediates exhibited a notable decrease under CR stress. Several genes related to melatonin synthesis, excluding AADC (aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase), were markedly upregulated at an early stage of CR stress but downregulated later. Compared to the mycelial stage, those genes were significantly upregulated at the P and FB stages. Additionally, exogenous melatonin promoted resistance to several abiotic stressors and P formation in T. guangdongense. This study is the first to report melatonin biosynthesis pathway in macro-fungi. Our results should help in studying the diversity of melatonin function and melatonin-synthesis pathways and provide a new viewpoint for melatonin applications in the edible-medicinal fungus.

Abstract
Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is highly perishable because of its high respiration rate, which continues after harvesting and leads to weight loss, increased hardness, color change, and limited shelf life. Melatonin is an indoleamine that plays an important role in abiotic stress. This study was designed to investigate the effects of melatonin on the quality attributes of green asparagus during cold storage. Green asparagus was soaked in a melatonin solution (50, 100, and 200 μM) for 30 min and then stored at 4 °C under 90% relative humidity for 25 days. The results indicated that melatonin treatment delayed the post-harvest senescence of asparagus and maintained high chlorophyll and vitamin C levels. Melatonin treatment hindered phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and peroxidase activities and reduced lignin content, thereby delaying the increase in firmness. Moreover, melatonin treatment enhanced catalase and superoxide dismutase activities, leading to reduced hydrogen peroxide content. These results indicate that melatonin treatment can be used to maintain the post-harvest quality and prolong the shelf life of green asparagus.
