[PMID: 38815326 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139799] [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: 02/09/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
Owing to their lack of outer skin, Chinese bayberries are highly susceptible to mechanical damage during picking, which accelerates bacterial invasion and rotting, shortening their shelf life. In this study, montmorillonite (MMT) was used to absorb an aqueous sodium chlorite solution embedded in a carboxymethyl cellulose sodium hydrogel after freeze drying, and the hydrogel was crosslinked by Al3+ ions. Al3+ hydrolyzed to produce H+, creating an acidic environment within the hydrogel and reacting with NaClO2 to slowly release ClO2. We prepared a ClO2 slow-release hydrogel gasket with 0.5 wt% MMT-NaClO2 and investigated its storage effect on postharvest Chinese bayberries. Its inhibition rates against Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes were 98.84% and 98.96%, respectively. The results showed that the gasket preserved the appearance and nutritional properties of the berries. The antibacterial hydrogel reduced hardness loss by 26.57% and ascorbic acid loss by 46.36%. This new storage method could also be applicable to other fruits and vegetables.

Abstract
Apple is characterized by its high adaptation to diverse growing environments. However, little is still known about how different environments can regulate at the metabolic or molecular level specific apple quality traits such as the yellow fruit peel color. In this study, changes in carotenoids and chlorophylls, antioxidants as well as differences in the transcriptome were investigated by comparing the peel of "Golden Reinders" apples grown at different valley and mountain orchards. Mountain environment favored the development of yellow color, which was not caused by an enhanced accumulation of carotenoids but rather by a decrease in the chlorophyll content. The yellow phenotype was also associated to higher expression of genes related to chloroplast functions and oxidative stress. Time-course analysis over the last stages of apple development and ripening, in fruit from both locations, further revealed that the environment differentially modulated isoprenoids and phenylpropanoid metabolism and pointed out a key role for H2O2 in triggering apple peel degreening. Overall, the results presented herein provide new insights into how different environmental conditions regulate pigment and antioxidant metabolism in apple leading to noticeable differences in the apple peel color.

Abstract
Pear is a typically climacteric fruit and highly perishable with a low shelf life owing to extreme metabolic activity after harvesting. The present study aimed to reduce weight loss and improve the firmness of pear during storage. The lemon peel essential oil (LPEO) has gained considerable attention due to being the richest source of bioactive compounds that behaved as a natural antioxidant agent, being cost‐effective, and being generally recognized as safe. Edible coatings equipped with a natural antioxidant agent and renewable biopolymers have gained more research fame owing to their involvement in the direction of biodegradability and food safety. In this work, edible skin coating materials (ESCMs) embedded by chitosan (1%) and guar gum (2%) were fabricated, and afterward, five concentrations of LPEO (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3.0%) were incorporated individually into the ESCMs. Findings revealed that LPEO–ESCMs significantly reduced the weight loss and improved the firmness of pear up to 45 days of storage at 4 ± 2°C. Furthermore, the LPEO–ESCMs have enhanced the antioxidant capacity, antibacterial efficiency, and malondialdehyde level of pear during storage time. It was concluded that 3% of LPEO–ESCMs improved the overall acceptability of pear fruits. Taken together, the novel insights of guar gum and chitosan‐based ESCMs entrapped with LPEO will remain a subject of research interest for researchers in the future.

Abstract
At the present, the mechanism of chlorophyll degradation in response to ionizing irradiation in harvested fruits have not been examined. To understand the effect of electron beam (E-beam) irradiation on the chlorophyll degrading pathway in relation to chlorophyll degrading enzymes activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant capacities of harvested mangoes stored at 13 °C for 16 days were studied. E-beam-treated fruit significantly suppressed the activities of chlorophyll degrading enzymes especially pheophytinase (PPH) and chlorophyll degrading peroxidase (Chl-POX) in the late stage of storage. This resulted in the chlorophyll content being maintained. However, E-beam irradiation did not affect the activities of chlorophyllase (Chlase) and magnesium de-chelatase (MD). The respiration rate, ethylene production, ROS accumulation (hydrogen peroxide [H2O2] and superoxide radical [O-. 2]) immediately increased after E-beam treatment, following which they significantly decreased in comparison to the control. E-beam treatment enhanced the fruit's antioxidant capacity by activating the activities of catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione (GSH) content, and inactivated the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Further, it did not affect the activity of glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione disulfide (GSSG), vitamin C content, or total phenolic content. These results imply that E-beam treatment has the potential to delay chlorophyll degradation by suppressing the Chl-POX and PPH activities as well as reduce ROS production via CAT, APX, and SOD activities and GSH content.

Abstract
Scarce information is available about the ripening process of European pears attached and detached from the tree. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the physiological and biochemical processes underlying both on- and off-tree fruit ripening in a summer ('Conference') vs. a winter ('Flor d'Hivern') pear cultivar. For each cultivar, a batch of fruit was harvested at the commercial harvest date and ripened at 20 °C and another batch was left to ripen on the tree. In both cultivars the inability of the fruit to soften on-tree, was related to a very limited ethylene metabolism but also associated to high content of H2O2 and low lipid peroxidation levels. In contrast, ripening in detached fruit was cultivar-dependent. In 'Conference' pears, the sharp firmness loss and colour changes observed during off-tree ripening were not strictly associated to an enhanced ethylene production but rather triggered by an oxidative related process preceding the climacteric rise. In contrast, 'Flor d'Hivern' pears experienced limited softening and degreening during off-tree ripening not being related to the action of ethylene or oxidative stress. Collectively our results showed that pear ripening was not exclusively dependent of ethylene production and that the fruit potential to limit oxidative damage may be involved with the inability of some European pear cultivars to ripen on-tree.

Abstract
Red-skin disorder (RSD), a non-infectious disorder in Panax ginseng, impairs the quality and yield of ginseng and impedes continuous cropping. Since the mechanism of this disorder is unknown, there are no effective prevention measures for RSD. The proteomic changes in RSD ginseng were analysed in this study by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ). The differential expression of 137 proteins (60 from 2-DE and 77 from iTRAQ) was identified in RSD ginseng as compared with healthy ginseng. Most changes are related to carbon- and nitrogen- metabolism, redox homeostasis, and stress resistance. We also found that the concentration of metal elements, such as iron (Fe), aluminium (Al), and manganese (Mn), was significantly increased in RSD ginseng. These increased metals would be chelated with phenols to form red spots on the ginseng epidermis. Moreover, RSD disturbed the carbon and nitrogen metabolism and affected the biosynthesis of nutrients (sugar, proteins, amino acids) and active components (ginsenosides), which reduced the survival rate and medicinal value of ginseng. These differences between RSD and healthy ginseng will contribute to the understanding of RSD mechanism.

Abstract
Apple quality and the storage potential likely depend on a range of physiological and biochemical events occurring throughout fruit development and ripening. In this study, we investigated the major physiological (ethylene production and respiration) and biochemical changes (related to sugar and malic acid content as well as antioxidant metabolism) occurring during growth and on-tree ripening of two apple varieties ('Granny Smith' (GS) and 'Early Red One' (ERO)) with known differences in their postharvest behaviour, mainly firmness loss and susceptibility to superficial scald. Our results demonstrate that the higher storability and the limited loss of firmness of 'GS' fruit was associated to a higher acid content, mainly malic acid, that seemed to be regulated already at fruit set (20 DAFB). The reduced loss of firmness during storage in 'GS' was also associated to the fruit inability to produce ethylene upon harvest resulting from very low 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACO) activity. Sugar accumulation, on the other hand, was similar among both varieties as was also observed for the rate of fruit growth or the fruit respiration pattern. In addition, the higher susceptibility of 'GS' if compared to 'ERO' to superficial scald was not associated to peroxidative damage (malondialdehyde accumulation) nor to higher levels of the sesquiterpene α-farnesene but rather mediated by a fruit antioxidant imbalance resulting from higher H2O2 levels and lower antioxidant (peroxidase) enzymatic capacity. The interplay between ethylene, respiration and antioxidants or sugars and organic acids during apple growth and development is further discussed.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) combined with nano-packaging on quality of pleurotus eryngii stored at 4 ± 1 °C for 12 days. Texture, respiration rate, soluble protein, soluble sugar, weight loss, soluble solid, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity of treated pleurotus eryngii were determined. The results suggested that 1-MCP treatment combined with nano-packaging reduce respiration rate, weight loss and MDA content, delayed the decrease of soluble protein content, and maintained soluble sugar and soluble solid content of treated pleurotus eryngii during the storage at 4 ± 1 °C compared with the untreated samples. The efficiency of the combined treatment (1-MCP + nano-packaging) was better than that of 1-MCP or nano-packaging alone. Moreover, 1-MCP plus nano-packaging treatment effectively improved SOD and CAT activities, and suppressed the increase of PPO activity in pleurotus eryngii. Therefore, present results indicated that 1-MCP plus nano-packaging treatment may be an effective technology on maintaining commercial quality and lengthening shelf life of pleurotus eryngii.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the biochemical and metabolic changes, related to oxidative stress, ethylene and respiration, cell wall modification and primary metabolism, between a high ('Prime Giant') and a low ('Cristalina') cracking susceptible sweet cherry cultivar during growth and ripening. While cherries are referred as a non-climacteric fruit, our results show that an increase of endogenous ethylene production at earlier fruit developmental stages is parallel to colour development and softening during growth. Higher cracking susceptibility was clearly associated to a higher fruit growth rate and accompanied by an increase net CO2 and ethylene production, on a cherry basis, leading to an enhanced accumulation of oxidative stress markers (i.e. H2O2 and MDA). As observed in other fruit species (i.e. tomatoes) higher cracking susceptibility was also related to enhanced activity of cell wall-modifying enzymes which in turn occurred in parallel to the ethylene rise. Overall, these results suggest that cracking development may be a more complex phenomenon than a mere consequence of altered fruit water absorption or turgor and point out the importance of ethylene on sweet cherry ripening and cracking development.

Abstract
The cultivation of higher plants in Space involves not only the development of new agro-technologies for the design of ecologically closed Space greenhouses, but also understanding of the effects of Space factors on biological systems. Among Space factors, ionising radiation is one of the main constraints to the growth of organisms. In this paper, we analyse the effect of low-LET radiation on leaf histology and cytology in Phaseolus vulgaris L. plants subjected to increasing doses of X-rays (0.3, 10, 50, 100 Gy). Leaves irradiated at tissue maturity were compared with not-irradiated controls. Semi-thin sections of leaves were analysed through light and epi-fluorescence microscopy. Digital image analysis was applied to quantify anatomical parameters, with a specific focus on the occurrence of signs of structural damage as well as alterations at subcellular level, such as the accumulation of phenolic compounds and chloroplast size. Results showed that even at high levels of radiation, general anatomical structure was not severely perturbed. Slight changes in mesophyll density and cell enlargement were detected at the highest level of radiation. However, at 100 Gy, higher levels of phenolic compounds accumulated along chloroplast membranes: this accompanied an increase in number of chloroplasts. The reduced content of chlorophylls at high levels of radiation was associated with reduced size of the chloroplasts. All data are discussed in terms of the possible role of cellular modifications in the maintenance of high radioresistance and photosynthetic efficiency.

Abstract
In order to advance in the understanding of CI in pepper fruits, the cell ultrastructure alterations induced by CI and the physiological and metabolic changes have been studied along with the proteomic study. When stored at low temperatures bell pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruits exhibited visual CI symptoms and important alterations within the cell ultrastructure, since peroxisomes and starch grains were not detected and the structure of the chloroplast was seriously damaged in chilled tissues. Physiological and metabolic disorders were also observed in chilled fruits, such as higher ethylene production, increased MDA content, changes in sugar and organic acids and enzymatic activities. The comparative proteomic analysis between control and chilled fruits reveals that the main alterations induced by CI in bell pepper fruits are linked to redox homeostasis and carbohydrate metabolism. Thus, protein abundance in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle is altered and catalase is down-regulated. Key proteins from glycolysis, Calvin cycle and Krebs cycle are also inhibited in chilled fruits. Enolase and GAPDH are revealed as proteins that may play a key role in the development of chilling injury. This study also provides the first evidence at the protein level that cytosolic MDH is involved in abiotic stress.

Antioxidant response of Arabidopsis plants to gamma irradiation: Genome-wide expression profiling of the ROS scavenging and signal transduction pathways.

[PMID: 21665324 DOI: 10.1016/j.jplph.2011.05.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2011] [Revised: 05/16/2011] [Accepted: 05/18/2011] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
Arabidopsis presumably has few sensors for gamma-rays and few signal transduction systems that respond to them. In an effort to assess their radiation sensitivity, wild-type (Ler) Arabidopsis plants were irradiated with various doses of gamma-rays at the vegetative (VE) and reproductive (RE) stages. 100Gy treatment induced the higher production of siliques during both the VE and RE stages compared with non-irradiation. Treatments at doses over 200Gy repressed shoot growth, and the plants perished under 800Gy treatment. The results of physiological analysis using electron spin resonance (ESR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that increased doses of gamma-rays induce greater ROS generation. To establish the gene expression profiles after gamma irradiation and for an analysis of the antioxidant response, we employed an oligonucleotide microarray system. Different responses of genes related with ROS scavenging and signal transduction pathways by a gamma irradiation were observed. At least 33 and 42 out of all genes with significantly altered expression were associated with ROS scavenging and signal transduction pathways having an induction or repression ratio cutoff of at least 2-fold, respectively. CAT3 (At1g20620), Ferritin1 (At5g01600), Blue copper binding protein (At5g20230), and AOX putative (At1g32350) were up-regulated regardless of dosage at the VE stage. Reactive oxygen species signaling genes encoding phospholipase, zinc finger protein, WRKY DNA-binding protein, and calcium binding protein were highly expressed, evidencing changes greater than 2-fold. Our transcriptomic profile of the responses of Arabidopsis genes to gamma irradiation showed that plants evidenced altered expressions of many signal transduction and antioxidant genes, as have been seen with other environmental stresses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Apricots (Prunus armeniaca cv. Búlida) were treated with 1 μL L⁻¹ [corrected] 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) immediately after harvest and stored in air at 2 degrees C for 21 days. Antioxidant levels (ascorbic acid and carotenoids), enzymatic antioxidant activities (superoxide dismutase (SOD) and unspecific peroxidase (POX)) and total antioxidant capacity (trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC)) were determined. The level of oxidative stress was also established by measuring ion leakage during storage. The changes in the antioxidant potential of apricots were related to the capacity of 1-MCP to increase their commercial life. RESULTS 1-MCP-treated fruits exhibited higher SOD activity, whereas POX activity was significantly higher only after 21 days at 2 degrees C. Treated fruits also exhibited better retention of ascorbate and carotenoids and higher TEAC during storage. In accordance with these observations, lower ion leakage values were detected in 1-MCP-treated apricots. CONCLUSION Taken together, these results suggest that 1-MCP conferred a greater resistance to oxidative stress. This, along with the reduction in ethylene production, could contribute to the increase in commercial life and nutritional value observed in 1-MCP-treated apricots.

Abstract
Epidemiological and animal studies have demonstrated that alcohol abuse is directly associated with the increase of multiple organ diseases, such as liver injury, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. While the mechanisms of alcohol-induced cell injury and disease remain to be investigated, recent studies indicate that reactive oxygen species (ROS) may play an important role. Reactive oxygen species are able to cause various cellular injuries, such as DNA damage, lipid peroxidation and protein modification. Cellular systems are protected from ROS-induced cell injuries by an array of defenses composed of various anti-oxidants with different functions. When the ROS present in the cellular system overpower the defense systems, they will cause oxidative stress or cell injury, leading to the development of diseases. This article reviews recent literature on alcohol-induced ROS production, oxidative stress, signal transduction, and cellular responses. The implication of these processes in alcohol-related diseases is also discussed.
