Abstract
Enzymatic browning reactions, triggered by oxidative stress, significantly compromise the quality of harvested crops during postharvest handling. This has profound implications for the agricultural industry. Recent advances have employed a systematic, multi-omics approach to developing anti-browning treatments, thereby enhancing our understanding of the resistance mechanisms in harvested crops. This review illuminates the current multi-omics strategies, including transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic methods, to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying browning. These strategies are pivotal for identifying potential metabolic markers or pathways that could mitigate browning in postharvest systems.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is an oxidoreductase. In damaged plant tissues, it catalyzes enzymatic browning by oxidizing o-diphenols to highly reactive o-quinones, which polymerize producing heterogeneous dark polymer melanin. In intact tissues, functions of PPO are not well understood. The aim of the study was to investigate the barley PPO gene family and to reveal the possible involvement of Ppo genes in melanization of barley grain, which is controlled by the Blp1 gene. Based on known barley Ppo genes on chromosome 2H (Ppo1 and Ppo2), two additional genes-Ppo3 and Ppo4-were found on chromosomes 3H and 4H, respectively. These genes have one and two exons, respectively, contain a conserved tyrosinase domain and are thought to be functional. Comparative transcriptional analyzes of the genes in samples of developing grains (combined hulls and pericarp tissues) were conducted in two barley lines differing by melanin pigmentation. The genes were found to be transcribed with increasing intensity (while grains mature) independently from the grain color, except for Ppo2, which is transcribed only in black-grained line i:BwBlp1 accumulating melanin in grains. Analysis of this gene's expression in detached hulls and pericarps showed its elevated transcription in both tissues in comparison with yellow ones, while it was significantly higher in hulls than in pericarp. Segregation analysis in two F2 populations obtained based on barley genotypes carrying dominant Blp1 and recessive ppo1 (I) and dominant Blp1 and recessive ppo1 and ppo2 (II) was carried out. In population I, only two phenotypic classes corresponding to parental black and white ones were observed; the segregation ratio was 3 black to 1 white, corresponding to monogenic. In population II, aside from descendants with black and white grains, hybrids with a gray phenotype - light hulls and dark pericarp - were observed; the segregation ratio was 9 black to 3 gray to 4 white, corresponding to the epistatic interaction of two genes. Most hybrids with the gray phenotype carry dominant Blp1 and a homozygous recessive allele of Ppo2. Based on transcription and segregation assays one may conclude involvement of Ppo2 but not Ppo1 in melanin formation in barley hulls.

Abstract
The color changes brought on by the enzymatic interactions of phenolic compounds with released endogenous polyphenol oxidase and the penetration of oxygen into the tissue has a significant impact on the commercialization of fresh-cut fruit, such as apples. This process causes a loss of quality in fresh-cut apples, resulting in browning of the fruit surface. By acting as a semipermeable barrier to gases and water vapor and thus lowering respiration, enzymatic browning, and water loss, edible coatings can provide a chance to increase the shelf life of fresh-cut produce. In this study, the effect of edible coatings composed of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC, 1%), sodium alginate (SA, 1%), citric acid (CA, 1%), and oxalic acid (OA, 0.5%) on fresh-cut 'Annurca Rossa del Sud' apple was studied. Four formulations of edible coatings, A. SA+CMC, B. SA+CMC+CA, C. SA+CMC+OA, and D. SA+CMC+CA+OA, were tested. Fresh-cut apples were dipped into different solutions and then stored at 4 °C, and physicochemical and biochemical analyses were performed at 0, 4, 8, and 12 days of storage. Results demonstrated that all four combinations improved the shelf-life of fresh-cut apple by slowing down the qualitative postharvest decay, total soluble solid, and titratable acidity. The browning index was highest in the control samples (82%), followed by CMC+SA (53%), CMC+SA+CA (32%), CMC+SA+OA (22%), and finally CMC+SA+CA+OA (7%) after 12 days of cold storage. Furthermore, coating application increased the bioactive compound content and antioxidant enzyme activities. Furthermore, the synergistic activity of SA+CMC+CA+OA reduces enzymatic browning, prolonging the postharvest life of minimally processed 'Annurca Rossa del Sud' apples.

Abstract
Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) catalyzes the reversible conversion of l-phenylalanine into the corresponding trans-cinnamic acid, providing a route to optically pure α-amino acids. We explored the catalytic function of all five PALs encoded in the genome of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) that are previously known to be involved in wound browning. All LsPALs were active toward l-phenylalanine in the ammonia elimination reaction and displayed maximum activity at 55-60 °C and pH 9.0-9.5. However, four of them, LsPAL1-LsPAL4, showed significantly higher activity and thermal stability than LsPAL5, as well as a broader substrate spectrum including some challenging substrates with steric demanding or electron-donating substituents. The best one LsPAL3 was subjected to the kinetic resolution of a panel of 21 rac-phenylalanine derivatives, as well as the ammonia addition of 21 cinnamic acid derivatives. It showed excellent enantioselectivity in most cases and significantly better activity than previously described PALs for a number of challenging non-natural substrates, demonstrating its great potential in biocatalysis.

Abstract
Potato sprouts, an underutilized by-product of potato processing, could be exploited for the recovery of caffeoyl-quinic acids (CQAs), a family of polyphenols with well-recognized biological activities. In this work, the predominant compound of this class, 5-CQA, was extracted by Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) under conditions optimized by an Experimental Design. The investigated variables solid/solvent ratio (1:10-1:50 g/mL), water content in ethanol (30-100% v/v) and UAE time (5-20 min) highlighted a critical influence of the last two factors on the extraction efficiency: extracts richer in 5-CQA were obtained with lower water content (30%) and time (5 min). The addition of ascorbic acid (1.7 mM) as anti-browning agent to the extraction solvent improved the extraction efficiency of 5-CQA compared to acetic and citric acids (3158.71 μg/mL, 1766.71 μg/mL, 1468.20 μg/mL, respectively). A parallel trend for the three acids and an increase in 5-CQA recovery was obtained with the use of freeze-dried sprouts (4980.05 μg/mL, 4795.62, 4211.25 μg/mL, respectively). Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in vitro demonstrated UAE being a more valuable technique than conventional maceration. Furthermore, three-times-higher values of TPC (7.89 mg GAE/g) and TAC (FRAP: 24.01 mg TE/g; DPPH: 26.20 mg TE/g; ABTS 26.72 mg TE/g) were measured for the optimized extract compared to the initial one. An HPLC-DAD method was applied to monitor 5-CQA recovery, while an LC-HRMS/MS investigation allowed us to perform analyte identity confirmation along with detection of the glycoalkaloids α-solanine and α-chaconine. This evidence underlines the necessity to develop purification strategies in order to maximize the potential of potato sprout waste as a source of 5-CQA.

Abstract
Fresh fruits and vegetable products are easily perishable during postharvest handling due to enzymatic browning reactions. This phenomenon has contributed to a significant loss of food. To reveal the physiological changes in fresh-cut potato tubers at the molecular level, a transcriptome analysis of potato tubers after cutting was carried out. A total of 10,872, 10,449, and 11,880 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at 4 h, 12 h and 24 h after cutting, respectively. More than 87.5% of these DEGs were classified into the categories of biological process (BP) and molecular function (MF) based on Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. There was a difference in the response to cutting at different stages after the cutting of potato tubers. The genes related to the phenol and fatty biosynthesis pathways, which are responsible for enzymatic browning and wound healing in potato tubers, were significantly enriched at 0-24 h after cutting. Most genes related to the enzymatic browning of potato tubers were up-regulated in response to cut-wounding. Plant hormone biosynthesis, signal molecular biosynthesis and transduction-related genes, such as gibberelin (GA), cytokinin (CK), ethylene (ET), auxin (IAA), jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic (SA), and Respiratory burst oxidase (Rboh) significantly changed at the early stage after cutting. In addition, the transcription factors involved in the wound response were the most abundant at the early stage after cutting. The transcription factor with the greatest response to injury was MYB, followed by AP2-EREBP, C3H and WRKY. This study revealed the physiological changes at the molecular level of fresh-cut potato tubers after cutting. This information is needed for developing a better approach to enhancing the postharvest shelf life of fresh processed potato and the breeding of potato plants that are resistant to enzymatic browning.

Abstract
To find the most optimal green valorization process of food by-products, sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaves (SBLs) were freeze-dried and ground with/without liquid nitrogen (LN), as a simple sample pretreatment method, before ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) of polyphenols. First, the water activity, proximate composition, amino acid (AA) and fatty acid (FA) profiles, and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of dried and fresh SBLs were evaluated. Then, conventional extraction (CE) and UAE of polyphenols from SBLs using water/EtOH:water 14:6 (v/v) as extracting solvents were performed to determine the individual and combined effects of the sample preparation method and UAE. In all the freeze-dried samples, the specific activity of PPO decreased significantly (p ≤ 0.05). Freeze-drying significantly increased (p ≤ 0.05) the fiber and essential FA contents of SBLs. The FA profile of SBLs revealed that they are rich sources of oleic, linoleic, and α-linolenic acids. Although freeze-drying changed the contents of most AAs insignificantly, lysine increased significantly from 7.06 ± 0.46% to 8.32 ± 0.38%. The aqueous UAE of the freeze-dried samples without LN pretreatment yielded the most optimal total phenolic content (TPC) (69.44 ± 0.15 mg gallic acid equivalent/g dry matter (mg GAE/g DM)) and excellent antioxidant activities. Thus, combining freeze-drying with the aqueous UAE method could be proposed as a sustainable strategy for extracting bioactive compounds from food by-products.

Abstract
Apple (Malus domestica) is widely consumed by consumers from various regions. It contains a high number of phenolic compounds (majorly hydroxybenzoic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, flavanols, flavonols, dihydrochalcones, and anthocyanins) and antioxidant activity, which are beneficial for human health. The trends on healthy and fresh food have driven the food industry to produce minimally processed apple, such as fresh-cut, puree, juice, and so on without degrading the quality of products. Enzymatic browning is one of the problems found in minimally processed apple as it causes the undesirable dark color as well as the degradation of phenolics and antioxidant activity, which then reduces the health benefits of apple. Proper inhibition is needed to maintain the quality of minimally processed apple with minimal changes in sensory properties. This review summarizes the inhibition of enzymatic browning of apple products based on recent studies using the conventional and nonconventional processing, as well as using synthetic and natural antibrowning agents. Nonconventional processing and the use of natural antibrowning agents can be used as promising treatments to prevent enzymatic browning in minimally processed apple products. Combination of 2-3 treatments can improve the effective inhibition of enzymatic browning. Further studies, such on as other potential natural antibrowning agents and their mechanisms of action, should be conducted.

Abstract
Strawberry juice, which is rich in nutrients and charming flavor, is favored by consumers. To explore whether multi-mode thermosonication (MTS) can ensure the quality stability of strawberry clear juice (SCJ) during storage, the effects of microbial inhibition, enzyme activity, and physicochemical properties of SCJ pretreated by MTS were evaluated during storage at 4, 25, and 37 °C in comparison with thermal pretreatment (TP) at 90 °C for 1 min. The MTS, including dual-frequency energy-gathered ultrasound pretreatment (DEUP) and flat sweep-frequency dispersive ultrasound pretreatment (FSDUP), were conducted at 60 °C for 5 and 15 min, respectively. Results showed that the total phenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, ascorbic acid, and DPPH free radical scavenging ability of SCJ decreased during the storage period. The control sample of SCJ was able to sage for only 7 days at 4 °C based on the microbiological quality, while the FSDUP and DEUP group extended the storage period up to 21 and 14 days, respectively. The polyphenol oxidase in SCJ pretreated by MTS did not reactivate during the storage period. The MTS remarkably (p < 0.05) reduced the color deterioration, browning degree, and nutrient degradation during the storage period. Moreover, the FSDUP group exhibited the maximum shelf life with a minimum loss of quality, demonstrating that it was the most suitable processing method for obtaining high-quality SCJ. It can be concluded that the MTS has the potential to inhibit enzymatic browning, inactivating microorganisms, preserve original quality attributes, and prolong the shelf life of SCJ.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ready-to-eat fruit and vegetable products have gained tremendous popularity in recent years. The main challenges associated with these minimally processed products are their short shelf life and high food safety concerns. In this study, our goal was to develop an integrated process to both reduce the Salmonella population by >5 log CFU g-1 ) and to reduce polyphenol oxidase activity, followed by quickly cooling the product. We compared the effect of a sequential treatment of dipping in citric acid (CA) followed by cold plasma (CP) treatment on the inactivation of Salmonella Typhimurium, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, browning, total phenolic content and the moisture loss of cut apples during the plasma-integrated low-pressure cooling (PiLPC) process. RESULTS The greatest inactivation of Salmonella (5.68 log CFU g-1 ) and the highest PPO inactivation (78%) were observed after dipping cut apples in 5% CA, followed by 3 min of CP treatment. The color of cut apples remained relatively unchanged, with a fresh-like appearance during 7 days of storage at 4 °C after this combined treatment. Although the low-pressure cooling time was increased when samples were pre-dipped in CA, related to those undipped, the moisture loss was reduced by more than 50% during the PiLPC process. No significant reduction in phenolic content was observed during the PiLPC when the samples were pre-dipped in 5% CA. CONCLUSION These results indicate the potential of this integrated process for the inactivation of endogenous food enzymes and bacterial pathogens in fresh-cut apples. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Sauce-flavored Daqu exhibits different colors after being stacked and fermented at high temperatures. Heiqu (black Daqu, BQ) with outstanding functions is difficult to obtain because its formation mechanism is unclear. In this study, we compared the metabolites in different types of Daqu using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry to explore the formation process of BQ. We found that 251 differential metabolites were upregulated in BQ. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that "tyrosine metabolism" was enriched, and most metabolites in this pathway were differential metabolites upregulated in BQ. The tyrosine metabolic pathway is related to enzymatic browning and melanin production. In addition, the high-temperature and high-humidity fermentation environment of sauce-flavored Daqu promoted an increase in the melanoidin content via a typical Maillard reaction; thus, the melanoidin content in BQ was much higher than that in Huangqu and Baiqu. By strengthening the Maillard reaction precursor substances, amino acids, and reducing sugars, the content of Daqu melanoidin increased significantly after simulated fermentation. Therefore, the enzymatic browning product melanin and Maillard reaction product melanoidin are responsible for BQ formation. This study revealed the difference between BQ and other types of Daqu and provides theoretical guidance for controlling the formation of BQ and improving the quality of liquor.

Abstract
Chitosan is an elicitor that induces resistance in fruits against postharvest diseases, but there is little knowledge about the wound healing ability of chitosan on apple fruits. Our study aimed at revealing the effect of chitosan on the phenylpropanoid pathway by determining some enzyme activities, products metabolites, polyphenol oxidase activity, color (L*, b*, a*), weight loss, and disease index during healing. Apple (cv. Fuji) fruits wounded artificially were treated with 2.5% chitosan and healed at 21–25°C, relative humidity = 81–85% for 7 days, and non-wounded fruits (coated and non-coated) were used as control. The result shows that chitosan treatment significantly decreased weight loss of wounded fruits and disease index of Penicillium expansum inoculated fruits. The activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase (C4H), 4-coumaryl coenzyme A ligase (4CL), cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR), and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) were elicited throughout the healing period by chitosan, which increased the biosynthesis of cinnamic acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, sinapic acid, p-coumaric acid, p-coumaryl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol. Also, total phenol, flavonoid, and lignin contents were significantly increased at the fruits wounds. In addition, chitosan’s ability to enhance polyphenol oxidase activity stimulated enzymatic browning of wounds. Although wounding increased phenylpropanoid enzymes activities before healing, chitosan caused higher enzyme activities for a significant healing effect compared with the control. These findings imply that chitosan accelerates apple wound healing by activating the phenylpropanoid pathway and stimulating enzymatic browning of wounds.

Abstract
Color is an important indicator for evaluating the quality of natural rubber (NR). Light-colored standard rubbers are widely used in high-grade products and have high economic value. This paper first introduces the history and test standards of the standard light-colored rubber. The origin of color deepening in NR processing, color substances, and its biosynthetic pathway are reviewed. Then, the discoloration mechanism of NR is studied from the perspectives of enzymatic browning (caused by polyphenol oxidase and polyphenols) and non-enzymatic browning (including Maillard reaction and lipid oxidation). Finally, the strategies to control the discoloration of NR will be described.

Abstract
The course of melanin formation is yet not thoroughly resolved on a mechanistic level. With the present study, incubations of catechin (CA)- and cysteine-derived dihydro-1,4-benzothiazine carboxylic acid derivatives were investigated for colored products during enzymatic browning. Analyses by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-mass spectrometry revealed the formation of two novel decarboxylated dihydro-1,4-benzothiazine derivatives [8-(3,5,7-trihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-2-yl)-5-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzothiazine and 7-(3,5,7-trihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-2-yl)-5-hydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-benzothiazine] preferentially under acidic conditions. Furthermore, in model reactions under neutral pH, a colored phenazine dimer intermediate was isolated by high-performance countercurrent chromatography and preparative HPLC when conducting the incubations in the presence of o-phenylenediamine (OPD). Mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy unequivocally verified the structure as (12E)-5,5'-dioxo-11a,11a'-bis(3,5,7-trihydroxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-2-yl)-3,3',4,4',5a,5a',6,6',11,11',11a,11a'-dodecahydro-2H,2'H,5H,5'H-12,12'-bi[1,4]thiazino[2,3-b]phenazine-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid. Enzymatically catalyzed incubations under aeration starting from the initial CA-cysteine adducts and their follow-up dihydro-1,4-benzothiazine carboxylic acids, respectively, proved that the unstable colored compound was a trichochrome-like reaction intermediate of the browning reaction cascade which can be trapped by postincubation with OPD, thus verifying their direct mechanistic relationship.

Abstract
In the present study, the browning degree and reducing power of browning products of catechin (CT), epicatechin (EC), caffeic acid (CA), and chlorogenic acid (CGA) in autoxidation and enzymatic oxidation were investigated. Influencing factors were considered, such as pH, substrate species and composition, and eugenol. Results show that polyphenols' autoxidation was intensified in an alkaline environment, but the reducing power was not improved. Products of enzymatic oxidation at a neutral pH have higher reducing power than autoxidation. In enzymatic oxidation, the browning degree of mixed substrates was higher than that of a single polyphenol. The reducing power of flavonoid mixed solution (CT and EC) was higher than those of phenolic acids' (CA and CGA) in autoxidation and enzymatic oxidation. Eugenol activity studies have shown that eugenol could increase autoxidation browning but inhibit enzymatic browning. Activity test and molecular docking results show that eugenol could inhibit tyrosinase.

Abstract
Enzymatic browning is a major problem in minimally processed banana puree; it reduces consumeŕs acceptability and affects nutritional quality. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects ultrasound (40 kHz/10 min), microwave (800 W/ 25 s) and UV-C radiation (1.97 kJ/m2) applied to banana puree. Colour parameters (L*, a*, b*, chroma and hue), browning index (BI), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activities, total phenolic compounds (TPC), antioxidant capacity (AOC) and microbiological counts were monitored throughout storage at 4°C. Ultrasound (US) and microwave (MW) treatments achieved a significant (p < 0.05) reduction in PPO activity and BI; moreover, ultrasound effectively retained phenolic compounds content (75% of initial value). The AOC was in coincidence with TPC values. POD activity was partially inhibited by UV-C while MW and US increase its activity. Although UV-C treatment was not effective to control browning development, it was effective to maintain microbiological stability after 20 days of storage (1.48 ± 0.01 log CFU/g). The evaluated treatments have the advantage of being less aggressive than conventional thermal treatments while maintaining fresh characteristics of the product.

Abstract
This study proposes to relate the increase in phosphorus (P) supply in the soil, via phosphate fertilization, to oxidative damage and protection, phenylpropanoid metabolism, and enzymatic browning in minimally processed cassava. The roots were grown with 0, 60, and 120 kg ha-1 P2O5. The roots were harvested, and the yield and P content in the root, stem, and leaves were quantified. The roots were minimally processed and stored for 12 days at 5 °C. The higher supply of P in the soil increased the P content of roots and stems but not the agro-industrial yields. Roots grown at 120 kg ha-1 P2O5 showed higher detection of hydrogen peroxide, which was accompanied by increased phenolic compounds, soluble quinones, and antioxidant capacity and increased activities of the enzymes superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and peroxidase. The present study thus demonstrates the role of phosphorus application, induction of the synthesis of phenolic compounds, and quality of fresh-cut cassava.

Abstract
Surface browning is a vital phenomenon that adversely reduces the quality of fresh-cut potatoes. Although many anti-browning methods have been explored, it is unclear whether exogenous catalase (CAT) treatment influences the enzymatic browning. Our results showed that 0.05% CAT immersion for 5 min alleviated browning during cold storage (4°C, 8 days), which was accompanied by a higher lightness and lower redness; additionally, lower H2 O2 and O2 ·- contents were found. The activities of CAT, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione peroxidase and the scavenging efficiency of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl were also increased. Moreover, CAT treatment inhibited the activities of polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia lyase and reduced phenol accumulation. Treatment with 0.1% hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) achieved the opposite results. This is the first report of CAT application reducing fresh-cut potato browning, providing a safe treatment alternative for enzymatic discoloration and preliminarily revealing the underlying mechanism with insight into antioxidant regulation. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This research is helpful for fresh-cut potato producers because a novel, safe, easy-to-carry out anti-browning solution was proposed. Dipping in 0.05% catalase solution for 5 min revealed color improvement in the quality of fresh-cut potato slices. The mechanism may rely on enhancing antioxidant ability (ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione peroxidase, and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging), reducing reactive oxygen species (H2 O2 , O2 ·-, malondialdehyde) and controlling enzymatic browning reaction factors (polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia lyase, and phenol accumulation). This method shows promise for better meeting the requirements and demands of consumers for fresh quality products.

Abstract
Enzymatic browning is the main quality issue of fresh-cut foods. This study investigated the effects of different concentrations (0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM) of melatonin (MT) treatment on the enzymatic browning of four fresh-cut foods, including apples (Malus domestica), pears (Pyrus spp.), potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), and taros (Colocasia esculenta), and found that only 0.05 mM MT was most significant at enhancing the L* values and reducing the browning index (BI) in all four foods. This suggests that 0.05 mM MT might be a universal concentration for the browning alleviation of fresh-cut foods. MT treatment increased the total phenolic contents and PAL activities but reduced the activities of POD, PPO, and LOX in fresh-cut taros. Furthermore, MT significantly affected the expression of sixteen browning-related genes in fresh-cut taros during storage. These results suggest that MT reduced fresh-cut food browning by regulating the activities of browning-related enzymes. However, MT did not significantly influence the browning degree or PPO activity of the taro mash in vitro, suggesting that MT might regulate enzyme activity in an indirect manner. Overall, these results indicate that MT might be a promising anti-browning agent to alleviate the browning of fresh-cut foods. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Melatonin (MT) is an endogenously produced indoleamine. Previous studies have reported that MT displays protective activities in many agricultural products. However, the reported protective MT concentrations vary between different products. To extend this agent to the fresh-cut industry, it is necessary to determine the universal dosage of MT needed for application efficiency. In this study, the effects of three concentrations (0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM) of MT on four fresh-cut foods, including apples, pears, potatoes, and taros, were investigated. The results showed that MT treatment alleviated browning development in the slices of these four foods and that 0.05 mM MT was the most effective treatment. Moreover, 0.05 mM MT significantly affected the activities of browning-related enzymes. These results suggest that 0.05 mM MT is a universal dosage for reducing surface browning in fresh-cut foods. This study provides a foundation for the application of MT in the processing of fresh-cut foods, especially fresh-cut taros.

Abstract
Banana chips are gaining popularity as a deep-fried product for its unique taste and flavour. This study is aimed to investigate the effect of hydrocolloids on oil absorption, physico-chemical and sensory properties of banana chips from two different varieties (var. Popoulu and var. Nendran), when fried at 180 °C for 3 min. The reduction in oil content was about 15%-35% and 19%-30% for hydrocolloid treated Popoulu and Nendran chips, respectively. The Free fatty acid content (FFA) of hydrocolloid treated banana chips was lower than that of untreated chips. The peroxide value (PV) values of all samples fell below 2 meq oxygen kg-1. CMC pre-treated banana chips were crispier than other formulations on both the varieties. Microscopic analysis showed the improved cellular integrity without large void spaces in hydrocolloid treated banana chips. PCA analyses elucidated that variables such as physical appearance, colour, crispiness, after taste, overall acceptability contributed positively, whereas hardness and sogginess contributed negatively to the correlation among the variables. From the chemical and sensory attributes, 0.5% CMC treated Popoulu chips and 1% CMC treated Nendran chips is recommended to produce chips with lower oil content.

Abstract
The quality and shelf life of sprouts can be improved by postharvest application of water herb extracts. The effect of water infusions of marjoram, oregano, basil, and thyme on the phenolic content, antioxidant potential, and the microbiological and consumer quality of stored mung bean sprouts was studied. Compared to the control, the treatments increased total phenolic content. The highest amounts were determined in sprouts soaked in the thyme extract (6.8 mg/g d.m.). The infusions also inhibited the activity of enzymes utilizing phenolics, and marjoram and oregano were found to be the most effective. The increase in the level of phenolics was reflected in enhanced antioxidant properties (ability to quench cation radical ABTS•+, reducing and chelating power). Both total phenolics and flavonoids, as well as antioxidant capacities, were highly bioaccessible in vitro. All the natural extracts effectively reduced the growth of total mesophilic bacteria, coliforms, and molds (they were more effective than ascorbic and kojic acids). The treatments did not exert a negative influence on the sensory properties or nutritional value of the sprouts, and even improved starch and protein digestibility. These results are very promising and may suggest a wider used of natural extracts as preservatives of minimally processed food.

Abstract
One of the main problems encountered after fresh-cutting of foods is enzymatic browning causing changes in the texture, taste, and color. The variety of physical and chemical-based antibrowning methods was applied to extend the shelf life of these products. Accordingly, methods using natural compounds are of great importance for health. In this study, it was aimed to prevent enzymatic browning in potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Marfona) by limiting the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity with selected flavonoids. First of all, we purified the potato PPO (pPPO) by single-step affinity chromatography. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and native PAGE were applied on pPPO. Then, the inhibition effects of 7-hydroxyflavone, 7-hydroxy-4'-nitroisoflavone, myricetin, luteolin, 7-methoxyflavone, 6-fluoroflavone, diosmetin, rutin, and diosmin on purified PPO enzyme were investigated. Kinetic assays indicated that myricetin was a remarkable inhibitor with the Ki value of 5 µM on pPPO. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Potatoes are one of the important diet in many countries. In the processing of potatoes, enzymatic oxidation catalyzed by polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) is lead to losing its taste, flavor, and color. In this current paper, group-based selected flavonoids were proposed as alternative inhibitors of potato PPO enzyme. These flavonoids allowing to limit the PPO activity are commercially available, and they can be potential candidates to be used as antibrowning agents during potato processing.

Abstract
Fresh-cut lettuce has a short shelf-life due to enzymatic browning and oxidative senescence. The present study investigated effects of polysaccharide-based edible coatings (alginate, chitosan, and carrageenan) on enzymatic browning and antioxidant defense system of fresh-cut lettuces during cold storage (4°C) for 15 days. The results showed that three coatings could inhibit enzymatic browning through maintaining total phenolics (TP) content and decreasing polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) activities. These coatings also reduced phospholipase D (PLD) and lipoxygenase (LOX) activities, lowered malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and enhanced antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, SOD; peroxidase, POD; catalase, CAT; ascorbate peroxidase, APX) activities. Besides, all coatings positively affected sensory properties of fresh-cut lettuces after 3 days storage. Additionally, among three coating treatments, chitosan coating had the most positive effects on quality of fresh-cut lettuce and was the most suitable coating for retarding enzymatic browning and alleviating membrane oxidative damage. These results indicated that polysaccharide-based edible coatings were helpful to maintain quality, inhibit enzymatic browning, and postpone senescence of fresh-cut lettuce.

Abstract
Enzymatic browning is the second largest cause of quality loss in fruits, vegetables, and seafood. Methods to prevent browning are the subject of great research interest in the field of Food Science and Technology. Numerous strategies for inhibiting enzymatic browning have been proposed in literature. Recent research is focused on finding alternative anti-browning agents to synthetics such as sulfites. Amongst natural antioxidants, Maillard reaction products (MRPs) have proven to be effective. Although reviews have been published on the antioxidant and anti-browning activity of MRPs, none of these focused solely on enzymatic browning inhibition mechanism of MRPs generated via heated plant extracts. Therefore, this review explores the common factors associated with the Maillard reaction (temperature, time, and concentration) and enzymatic browning inhibition (enzyme, substrate and reaction time) in order to confirm the activity and presence of MRPs in heated plant extracts. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Chemical food additives applied in prevention of enzymatic browning are subjected to scrutiny. Therefore, alternative natural compounds are sought after. Plant extracts have been applied, however, they tend to impart their characteristic natural flavor into the product. Heating of these plant extracts have been proven to reduce the "planty, herby" flavors, whilst producing Maillard reaction. Maillard reaction products are known to exhibit anti-browning activity, and they are a cheap alternative to these chemical inhibitors. Therefore, these can be applied as potential anti-browning agents in food products.

Abstract
To understand the blackening mechanism in black point diseased kernels, ultraviolet–visible light (UV–Vis) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) absorbance spectra of extracts made from the blackening parts of black point-affected (BP) kernels and the analogous part of black point-free (BPF) kernels were measured using susceptible wheat genotypes “PZSCL6” inoculated with Bipolaris sorokiniana (the dominant pathogen causing this disease). In addition, metabolite differences between BP and BPF kernels were identified by a method that combines gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Successively, symptoms of black point were produced in vitro. The results showed (i) the spectroscopic properties of the extracts from BP and BPF kernels were very similar, with an absorption peak at 235 nm and a small shoulder at 280–300 nm in both UV–Vis spectra and shared vibrations at 3400–3300, 2925 and 2852, 1512 and 1463, 1709, 1220, 600–860 cm–1 in FT-IR spectra that are consistent with similar bonding characteristics. In contrast, spectroscopic properties of extracts from wheat kernels were different from those of synthetic melanin and extracellular and intracellular melanin produced by B. sorokiniana. (ii) Levels of 156 metabolites in BP kernels were different from those in BPF kernels. Among those 156 metabolites, levels of phenolic acids (ferulic acid and p-coumaric acid), 11 phenolamides compounds, and four benzoxazinone derivatives were significantly higher in BP kernels than in BPF kernels. (iii) Symptom of black point could be produced in vitro in wheat kernels with supplement of phenol substrate (catechol) and H2O2. This result proved that blackening substance causing symptom of black point was produced by enzymatic browning in wheat kernels instead of by B. sorokiniana.

Abstract
Fruit enzymatic browning (EB) inhibition continues to be a challenge in the Food Industry. This physiological disorder results mainly from the oxidation of natural phenolic compounds by polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POX) leading to the formation of brown pigments. EB can be controlled with the application of antioxidants, reducing/inhibiting the activity of these oxidative enzymes. In this study, strawberry tree (leaves and branches) and apple byproduct were the natural-based extracts (NES) selected, as potential tissue browning inhibitors, within a first screening of fifteen natural-based extracts with antioxidant properties. Phenolic profile, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the selected extracts were also performed as well as their depletion effect on the oxidative enzyme's activity and browning inhibiton in fresh-cut pears. Strawberry tree extracts (leaves and branches) revealed higher total phenolic content (207.97 ± 0.01 mg GAE.gNES-1 and 104.07 ± 16.38 mg GAE.gNES-1, respectively), confirmed by the plethora of phenolic compounds identified by LC-ESI-UHR-QqTOF-HRMS and quantified by HPLC. This phytochemical composition was reflected in the low IC50 against PPO and POX obtained. Despite the lower phenolic content (6.76 ± 0.11 mg GAE.gNES-1) and antioxidant activity (IC50 = 45.59 ± 1.34 mg mL-1), apple byproduct extract showed potential in delaying browning. This study highlights the opportunity of byproducts and agricultural wastes extracts as novel anti-browning agents.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare the effects of sodium metabisulphite and the thiol compounds, glutathione (GSH), L-cysteine (CYS), and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), on the enzymatic browning, antioxidant activities, total phenolic, and ascorbic acid content of potatoes after 1, 24, and 48 hr. Three different concentrations (0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%) of each thiol compound were tested. While sulphite solution inhibited polyphenol oxidase as expected, NAC and CYS also decreased its activity. CYS-treated samples exhibited the highest residual thiol content, while the amount of residual thiol in GSH-treated samples was the lowest. The 2.0% NAC and 2.0% CYS solutions were the most effective at increasing antioxidant activity and ascorbic acid content; however, the results of total phenolic content assays were complicated. In summary, solutions containing 2.0% NAC, 1.0% CYS, and 2.0% CYS prevented enzymatic browning and increased the residual thiol content, ascorbic acid, and antioxidant activities of fresh-cut potatoes significantly, but GSH did not significantly inhibit browning. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Fresh-cut potatoes are susceptible to enzymatic browning, which significantly reduces their commercial value. In literature, there have been several methods to protect the enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables. Among these methods, thiols are good inhibitors of enzymatic browning. So, GSH, CYS, and NAC were used in this study. The outcomes of current work may help to inhibit polyphenol oxidase activity and increase the ascorbic acid content, residual thiol content, and antioxidant activity of fresh-cut potatoes. Both CYS and NAC may be useful alternatives to sulphite anti-browning agents, which may have adverse health effects.

Abstract
Mushrooms are attractive resources for novel enzymes and bioactive compounds. Nevertheless, mushrooms spontaneously form brown pigments during food processing as well as extraction procedures for functional compounds. In this study, the dark browning pigment in the extract derived from the edible mushroom Hericium erinaceus was determined to be caused by the oxidation of endogenous polyphenol compounds by the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme family. These oxidized pigment compounds were measured quantitatively using a fluorospectrophotometer and, through chelation deactivation and heat inactivation, were confirmed to be enzymatic browning products of reactions by a metalloprotein tyrosinase in the PPO family. Furthermore, a transcript analysis of the identified putative PPO-coding genes in the different growth phases showed that tyrosinase and laccase isoenzymes were highly expressed in the mushroom fruiting body, and these could be potential PPOs involved in the enzymatic browning reaction. A metabolite profiling analysis of two different growth phases also revealed a number of potential enzymatic browning substances that were grouped into amino acids and their derivatives, phenolic compounds, and purine and pyrimidine nucleobases. In addition, these analyses also demonstrated that the mushroom contained a relatively high amount of natural antioxidant compounds that can effectively decrease the browning reaction via PPO-inhibitory mechanisms that inhibit tyrosinase and scavenge free radicals in the fruiting body. Altogether, these results contribute to an understanding of the metabolites and PPO enzymes responsible for the enzymatic browning reaction of H. erinaceus.

Abstract
Hydrosols are byproducts produced by steam distillation of aromatic plant materials. Previous studies reported hydrosols owned effectively inhibitory effects on microbials, but few focused on the effects in reducing enzymatic browning of fresh-cut products. Here, application of citronella hydrosol (CH) and rose hydrosol (RH) obviously reduced values of L*, a* and b* in surfaces of fresh-cut taros, suggesting these hydrosols could reduce browning severity. About 500 ml/L of RH and CH reduced total phenol contents, and activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), suggesting hydrosols suppressed browning development by reducing PAL, POD and PPO activities. Studies reported terpenoids had potential inhibition on PPO activity. Chemical composition analysis showed that RH and CH extracts contained abundant terpenoids. These imply that terpenoids contained in two hydrosols might have contributed to the reduction of enzyme activity. This study indicates that hydrosols might be promising natural anti-browning agents for fresh-cut foods. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Hydrosols are the byproducts of essential oil from steam distillation. The work described here shows that application of citronella and rose hydrosols significantly reduced the browning of fresh-cut taros. Moreover, aromatic hydrosols also present inhibitory activity against microorganisms and are generally considered safe for human health. These suggested that aromatic hydrosols are the natural and useful anti-browning agents to preserve the quality of fresh cut foods, and can be well integrated into industrial procedures.

Abstract
Taking betel nut (Betel catechu L.) kernel as raw materials, to analyze the browning mechanism of betel nut kernel. First, we extract and separate the phenolic substances and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) from the betel nut kernel and then find out how O2 penetrates into the kernel, study the above 3 key factors of enzymatic browning so as to prove the possibility of enzymatic browning, and further study the browning products to clarify the mechanism of browning of betel nut kernel during storage process. The results showed that 11 kinds of phenolic compounds were isolated and identified from the betel nut kernel by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, among which chlorogenic acid was the highest, followed by dopamine and L-epicatechin, and other contents were relatively low. Meanwhile, PPO was also separated from the betel nut kernel by DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow and Phenyl-Sepharose 6 Fast Flow column chromatography. On this basis, scanning electron microscopy showed that the damage of the betel nut tissue was aggravated with the prolonged storage time, the wax was gradually decomposed, and the stratum corneum of the peel is destroyed in a honeycomb-shaped; the lignification of the flesh was aggravated, and the interstitial space was increased; and the crack of the kernel membrane was also enlarged. These changes of structure contribute to increase gas exchange within and outside the organization, including the entry of O2. Finally, the oxidation products generated from simulated reaction of chlorogenic acid, dopamine, and epicatechin with purified PPO under aerobic conditions in vitro were compared with the products extracted from naturally brown betel nut, and the same absorption spectra were found. Therefore, it indicates that the browning of betel nut kernel is an enzymatic browning caused by the reaction of phenolic substrates were oxidized by PPO.

Abstract
Enzymatic browning is a major issue affecting the quality of processed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). To understand the molecular mechanism of browning, transcriptional analyses were performed by employing potatoes that differed in browning. Coexpression analysis indicated that 9 out of 15 upregulated genes in browning-less groups encoded for potato protease inhibitors (StPIs). In addition, gene otology analysis showed that the enriched terms were mainly involved in protease inhibitors. Overexpression of cysteine StPI 143 and StPI 146 individually reduced browning and lowered protease activities and tyrosine and total free amino acid (FAA) contents, but they could not decrease polyphenol oxidase activity. Moreover, supplementing exogenous tyrosine or total FAAs into transgenic potato mash to wild-type amounts promoted mash browning, browning with total FAAs, more than with tyrosine, resembling wild-type levels. These results implied that cysteine StPIs reduced browning via lowering the accumulation of FAAs in addition to tyrosine. Our findings have enriched the knowledge about the roles and mechanisms of protease inhibitors in regulating enzymatic browning of potato, which provide new ways for controlling potato browning.

Abstract
The effect of ascorbic acid [AA (1%)] and Aloe vera gel [AVG (50%)] coating alone and in combination was investigated on enzymatic browning and quality of lotus root slices during storage at 20 ± 1°C. The combined application of AA and AVG coating delayed surface browning, reduced increase in relative electrolyte leakage (REL) and showed higher overall visual quality (OVQ). Similarly, AA and AVG combined treatment reduced superoxide anion ( O 2 - · ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) production and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and suppressed peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities. In addition, AA and AVG treatment conserved higher AA content, ascorbate peroxidase (APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) enzymes activities along with higher total phenolics and radical scavenging activity. In conclusion, the combined application of AA and AVG coating could be an appropriate treatment to delay surface browning and quality loss of lotus root slices. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Lotus root is an aquatic rhizome vegetable. The fresh-cut slices of lotus roots are prone to post-cut enzymatic browning and quality deterioration during postharvest storage. Browning induced loss of visual quality and microbial infestations are the leading constraints in extending storage and/or shelf life of lotus root slices. Surface browning results in loss of characteristic color eventually leading to significant reduction in market potential and visual quality. However, quality deterioration and development of browning could be delayed with some suitable postharvest treatments. So, the effect of AA and Aloe vera gel based coating was investigated for quality conservation of lotus root slices. The findings of the current work are of global importance in reducing browning and conserving visual quality of lotus root slices in particular and fresh-cut produce in general.

Abstract
Organic acids are widely utilized in the food industry for inhibiting the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and enzymatic browning. This review discusses the mechanisms of inhibition of PPO and enzymatic browning by various organic acids based on studies in model systems, critically evaluates the relevance of such studies to real food systems and assesses the implication of the synergistic inhibitory effects of organic acids with other physicochemical processing techniques on product quality and safety. Organic acids inhibit the activity of PPO and enzymatic browning via different mechanisms and therefore the suitability of a particular organic acid depends on the structure and the catalytic properties of PPO and the physicochemical properties of the food matrix. Studies in model systems provide an invaluable insight into the inhibitory mechanisms of various organics acids. However, the difference in the effectiveness of PPO inhibitors between model systems and food systems and the lack of correlation between the degree of PPO inhibition based on in vitro assays and enzymatic browning imply that the effectiveness of organic acids can be accurately evaluated only via direct assessment of browning inhibition in a particular food system. Combination of organic acids with physical processing techniques is one of the most viable approaches for PPO inhibition since the observed synergistic effect helps to reduce the undesirable organoleptic quality changes from the use of excessive concentration of organic acids or intense physical processing.

Abstract
Millet is an unexploited cereal with potential in the food industry due to its nutritional value and resistance to harsh climate conditions. Nutritious millet byproducts have a potential application in the development of functional cereal products, but require processing in order to improve their physical and nutritional quality. Therefore, we investigated high intensity ultrasound as a pretreatment to increase the amount of freely available bioactives from proso millet bran. We also analysed the effect of high intensity ultrasound on enzymatic browning, water retention and protein digestibility, which are crucial for the utilization in the bakery and pasta industry. A 15% millet bran suspension in water was treated with 400-W ultrasound probe for 5, 12.5 or 20 min, with the 60, 80 or 100% amplitude. High intensity ultrasound treatment with 80% amplitude for 12.5 min improved most significantly the nutritive value; the antioxidant activity measured by FRAP test increased by 15% (p<0.05), and total phenolic content by 16% (p<0.05). Still, the impact on the increase of water-soluble and ethanol-insoluble dietary fibre by 38% was evident after the treatment for 20 min at 100% amplitude. High intensity ultrasound treatment at 100% amplitude for 5 min caused the largest improvements in water retention and limited browning of the sample. High intensity ultrasound treatment activated polyphenol oxidase, regardless of the applied heating of the sample. Due to its ambiguous impact on proso millet bran characteristics, the treatment required an optimization, which showed that the optimal pretreatment of a 15% millet bran suspension in water is at 100% amplitude for 9.3 min.

Abstract
The metabolism of phenolic compounds is a key factor in the development of wound-induced enzymatic browning of fresh-cut lettuce. In the present study, the lettuce midribs discriminant metabolites, selected in a previous untargeted metabolomics study, were thoroughly identified. Our results showed that their basal contents correlated with browning developed after 5 days of storage. 5- trans-Chlorogenic acid and 5- cis-chlorogenic acid were positively correlated with browning, while sinapaldehyde and its 4-β-d-glucoside and 4-(6'-malonyl)-β-d-glucoside conjugates were negatively correlated. Using targeted metabolomics, the metabolites were analyzed in lettuce heads with different degrees of development and different browning susceptibility and these biomarkers were confirmed. Despite the large variability in the browning process of lettuce, the chlorogenic acids/sinapaldehyde derivatives ratio showed a linear correlation ( r2 = 0.79) with the fresh-cut lettuce browning developed in 24 Romaine lettuce cultivars, validating the relevance of these biomarkers. These results show that the analysis of the basal content of these metabolites could be used in lettuce breeding programs to select cultivars that are more appropriate for the fresh-cut industry.

Abstract
Enzymatic browning of sprouts during storage is a serious problem negatively influencing their consumer quality. Identifying and understanding the mechanism of inhibition of polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) in lentil sprouts may offer inexpensive alternatives to prevent browning. This study focused on the biochemical characteristics of PPOs from stored lentil sprouts, providing data that may be directly implemented in improving the consumer quality of sprouts. The purification resulted in approximately 25-fold enrichment of two PPO isoenzymes (PPO I and PPO II). The optimum pH for total PPOs, as well as for PPO I and PPO II isoenzymes, was 4.5–5.5, 4.5–5.0, and 5.5, respectively. The optimal temperature for PPOs was 35 °C. Total PPOs and the PPO I and PPO II isoenzymes had the greatest affinity for catechol (Km = 1.32, 1.76, and 0.94 mM, respectively). Ascorbic acid was the most effective in the inhibition of dark color formation by total PPOs, and showed ca. 62%, 43%, and 24% inhibition at 20-, 2-, and 0.2-mM concentrations. Ascorbic acid, l-cysteine, and sodium metabisulfite (20 mM) significantly inhibited color development in the reactions catalyzed by both isoenzymes of PPO. Ba2+, Fe3+, and Mn2+ (10 mM) completely inhibited PPO activity. This study of the effect of antibrowning compounds and cations on PPO activity provides data that can be used to protect lentil sprouts against enzymatic browning during storage and processing.

Abstract
In the present study the enzymatic oxidation of gallic acid and catechin catalyzed by nashi pear polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in the presence of the amino acids lysine, arginine, or cysteine was investigated for polyphenol-amino acid adducts. HPLC analyses revealed the formation of two novel dihydrobenzothiazine carboxylic acid derivatives (8-(3',4'-dihydro-2 H-chromene-3',5',7'-triol)-3,4-dihydro-5-hydroxy-2 H-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid and 7-(3',4'-dihydro-2 H-chromene-3',5',7'-triol)-3,4-dihydro-5-hydroxy-2 H-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid) from 2'-cysteinyl catechin and 5'-cysteinyl catechin in cysteine incubations, respectively. In contrast, arginine and lysine did not lead to any amino acid adducts. Target compounds were separated by high-performance countercurrent chromatography and preparative HPLC and unequivocally characterized by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Mechanistic incubations starting from the catechin-cysteine adducts showed that both catechin and PPO are crucial components in the formation of the dihydrobenzothiazines. The cysteine incubations showed a red-brown coloration, which coincided with formation and degradation of the dihydrobenzothiazines finally leading to the formation of high-polymeric melanins. Therefore, these compounds might be the key intermediates to understand development of color during cysteine-driven enzymatic browning reactions.

Abstract
The soursop (Annona muricata L.) is a climacteric fruit that may undergo enzymatic browning during ripening, mainly by the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO). Soursop PPO was purified 160-fold by hydrophobic interaction and ion-exchange chromatography. The native structure has a molecular weight of 112 kDa corresponding to a dimeric structure. The protein has an optimum pH and temperature of 6.5 and 25°C, respectively; and activation energy of 40.97 kJ·mol-1 . The lowest Km value was observed for caffeic acid (0.47 mM); the best substrate was 4-methyl-catechol (1,067 U·mM-1 min-1 ). Inactivation assays showed that PPO was completely inactivated by tropolone, Na2 S2 O5 and ascorbic acid, and thermally at 55°C for <5 min, microwave exposure reduced activity to 57% at 70 W in 30 s and ultrasound treatment diminished activity to 43% at 120 W in 220 s. This study allows a better understanding of soursop PPO behavior and provides inactivation information. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The conservation of fresh fruits is complicated due to the enzymatic reactions that are present in fruits, such as enzymatic browning. The enzymes responsible for these reactions can be inactivated by, different chemical compounds as well as by the use of emerging technologies, such as microwaves and sonication, which seek to satisfy the consumer needs to obtain fresh products with good nutritional characteristics and adequate safety.

Abstract
Polyphenol Oxidases (PPOs) catalyze the conversion of phenolic substrates to quinones, leading to the formation of dark-colored precipitates in fruits and vegetables. This process, known as enzymatic browning, is the cause of undesirable changes in organoleptic properties and the loss of nutritional quality in plant-derived products. In potato (Solanum tubersoum L.), PPOs are encoded by a multi-gene family with different expression patterns. Here, we have studied the application of the CRISPR/Cas9 system to induce mutations in the StPPO2 gene in the tetraploid cultivar Desiree. We hypothesized that the specific editing of this target gene would result in a lower PPO activity in the tuber with the consequent reduction of the enzymatic browning. Ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs), formed by two sgRNAs and Cas9 nuclease, were transfected to potato protoplasts. Up to 68% of regenerated plants contained mutations in at least one allele of the target gene, while 24% of edited lines carried mutations in all four alleles. No off-target mutations were identified in other analyzed StPPO genes. Mutations induced in the four alleles of StPPO2 gene, led to lines with a reduction of up to 69% in tuber PPO activity and a reduction of 73% in enzymatic browning, compared to the control. Our results demonstrate that the CRISPR/Cas9 system can be applied to develop potato varieties with reduced enzymatic browning in tubers, by the specific editing of a single member of the StPPO gene family.

Abstract
The elevation of anthocyanin contents in fruits and vegetables is a breeding target for many crops. In some fruit, such as tomato, higher anthocyanin concentrations enhance storage and shelf life. In contrast, highly anthocyanic red-fleshed apples (Malus x domestica) have an increased incidence of internal browning flesh disorder (IBFD). To determine the mechanisms underlying this, 'Royal Gala' cultivar apples over-expressing the anthocyanin-related transcription factor (TF) MYB10 (35S:MYB10), which produces fruit with highly pigmented flesh, were compared with standard 'Royal Gala' Wild Type (WT) grown under the same conditions. We saw no incidence of IBFD in WT 'Royal Gala' but the over-expression of MYB10 in the same genetic background resulted in a high rate of IBDF. We assessed concentrations of potential substrates for IBDF and a comparison of metabolites in these apples showed that anthocyanins, chlorogenic acid, pro-cyanidins, flavon-3-ols, and quercetin were all higher in the MYB10 lines. For the flavol-3-ols sub-group, epicatechin rather than catechin was elevated in MYB10 lines compared with the control fruit. Internal ethylene concentrations were measured throughout fruit development and were significantly higher in 35S:MYB10 lines, and ethylene was detected at an earlier developmental stage pre-harvest. Expression analysis of key genes associated with ethylene biosynthesis (aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase and oxidase; ACS and ACO) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) showed the potential for increased ethylene production and the mechanism for enhanced PPO-mediated browning. The expression of a transcription factor of the ethylene response factor (ERF) class, ERF106, was elevated in red flesh. Analysis of transcriptional activation by MYB10 showed that this transcription factor could activate the expression of apple ACS, ACO, and ERF106 genes. Our data show a link between the elevation of anthocyanin-related transcription factors and an undesirable fruit disorder. The accelerated advancement of maturity via premature ethylene induction has implications for the breeding and storage of these more highly pigmented plant products.

Abstract
Litchi fruit were treated with methionine [(0.25%) MN] and cysteine [(025%) CN] alone or in combination, and kept under 1% O2 + 5% CO2 controlled atmosphere (CA) at 5 ± 1ºC for 28 days. Among different treatments, CN was most effective to inhibit browning, than MN and CN + MN under CA conditions. Application of 0.25% CN significantly delayed browning index, reduced disease incidence, weight loss, malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, electrolyte leakage, hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ), superoxide anion (O2 -• ) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activities with higher contents of total anthocyanins under CA-storage. In addition, 0.25% CN treatment showed higher contents of ascorbic acid, total phenolics (TPC), and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl-radical scavenging capacity and activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and catalase (CAT) enzymes having maintained quality attributes. Therefore, 0.25% CN pre-treatment could be considered a promising way for managing browning, and conserving litchi fruit quality under CA-storage. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Litchi fruit are highly perishable due to rapid pericarp browning having limited postharvest market potential. The browning takes place due to enzymatic reactions and phenolic oxidation. However, it can be delayed by exogenous antibrowning treatments and suitable storage environment. The delayed incidence of pericarp browning may help to maintain its quality with extended storage potential suitable for domestic and international markets. So, the outcomes of the current work may help to maintain overall quality and to extend its storage potential that would be helpful in extending its market life with maintained visual quality at domestic and international destinations.

Abstract
Enzymatic browning primarily affects fruits and vegetables but also occurs in wheat-based food. Herein, the browning behavior in wheat pastry dough was investigated aiming toward a targeted inhibitory treatment without influencing the pastry dough properties such as workability or taste. Dough discoloration is attributed to several subsequent enzyme-substrate reactions, which can selectively be inhibited by food additives. In most cases, an effective and lasting inhibition is only guaranteed by compounds acting upon multiple inhibition pathways. Despite their effectiveness, the unlimited use of commercial inhibitors is nondesirable due to necessary labeling, thus sustainable and natural inhibitors usually occurring as conventional food ingredients are of interest. It is shown that white wine combined with lemon juice revealed itself as an ideal combination for prevention of enzymatic browning in pastry dough.

Abstract
Considering nearly 80 years of research regarding one of the enzymes responsible for catalyzing the formation of pigments in higher animals, plants, fungi and bacteria, this review will focus on collecting and categorizing the existing information about polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in fruits, with particular emphasis on the information in relation to avocado, which is one of the hardiest species in terms of inactivation, has documented dual activity (EC 1.14.18.1/EC 1.10.3.1), and represents one of the oldest challenges for food science research and fruit processors. It is expected that this review will contribute to the further development of the field by highlighting the questions that have arisen during the characterization of PPO, the progress that has been made and the questions that remain today, in addition to new methodologies that are being applied to study this system. Holistic methodologies offer unexplored potential for advancing our understanding of the complex phenomena that govern PPO activity in fruits, because these methodologies will enable the characterization of this family of enzymes in all of its complexity. Subsequently, it will be possible to develop better techniques for controlling enzymatic browning in this valuable fruit.

Abstract
Browning of plant tissue is generally considered attributable to enzymatic oxidation by polyphenol oxidase (PPO). Electrophoresis followed by activity staining has been used as an effective procedure to visually detect and isolate isozymes; however, it has not been applied for examination of various PPO isozymes in lettuce. Our study demonstrated that different lettuce PPO isozymes could be detected at different pH in active staining, and multiple isozymes were detected only under alkaline conditions. As a result, we concluded that activity staining with approximately pH 8 enabled to detect various PPO isozymes in lettuce. By expression analysis of the PPO isozymes after wounding, PPO isozymes that correlated with time-course of tissue browning were detected. The wound-induced PPO may play a key role in enzymatic browning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables and their products is an important factor worsening their quality. The influence of five green tea extracts at the concentrations of 1 g L-1 , 2 g L-1 and 3 g L-1 on polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in fresh cloudy apple juice was investigated. Moreover, PPO inhibition by tea extract and colour stability of juice during short-time refrigerated storage was studied. The changes of juice colour during storage was expressed as the total colour differences (ΔE*), browning index (BI), yellowness index (YI), and the absorbance at 420 nm (A420 ). RESULTS All extracts inhibited PPO activity in fresh apple juice in concentration-dependent manner. PPO activity in pure apple juice decreased by 7% after 48 h, whereas PPO activity in samples with 1 g L-1 , 2 g L-1 and 3 g L-1 tea extract decreased by 53%, 74%, and 96%, respectively. Browning of apple juice during storage decreased with increased concentration of green tea extract. After 48 h, extract at 1 g L-1 , 2 g L-1 and 3 g L-1 inhibited browning of juice expressed as BI by 48%, 60%, and 86%, respectively, comparing to pure apple juice. CONCLUSION Green tea extract may be an effective anti-browning agent for short-time stored cloudy apple juices. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Peach cultivars contribute to unique product characteristics and may affect the degree of browning after high-pressure processing (HPP). Nine peach cultivars were subjected to HPP at 0, 100, and 400 MPa for 10 min. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) relaxometry, light microscopy, color, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, and total phenols were evaluated. The development of enzymatic browning during refrigerated storage occurred because of damage during HPP that triggered loss of cell integrity, allowing substrates to interact with enzymes. Increasing pressure levels resulted in greater damage, as determined by shifts in transverse relaxation time (T2) and by light micrographs. Discoloration was triggered by membrane decompartmentalization but limited by PPO activity, which was found to correlate to cultivar harvest time (early, mid, and late season). Outcomes from the microstructure, 1H NMR ,and PPO activity evaluation were an effective means of determining membrane decompartmentalization and allowed for prediction of browning scenarios.

Abstract
Fruit maturity is an important factor associated with final product quality, and it may have an effect on the level of browning in peaches that are high pressure processed (HPP). Peaches from three different maturities, as determined by firmness (M1 = 50-55 N, M2 = 35-40 N, and M3 = 15-20 N), were subjected to pressure levels at 0.1, 200, and 400 MPa for 10 min. The damage from HPP treatment results in loss of fruit integrity and the development of browning during storage. Increasing pressure levels of HPP treatment resulted in greater damage, particularly in the more mature peaches, as determined by shifts in transverse relaxation time (T2) of the vacuolar component and by light microscopy. The discoloration of peach slices of different maturities processed at the same pressure was comparable, indicating that the effect of pressure level is greater than that of maturity in the development of browning.

Abstract
The pigments responsible for the yellow-orange coloration of apple juices have remained largely unknown up to now. Four French cider apple juices were produced in conditions similar to those used in the cider-making industry. The oxidized juices, characterized using the CIE L a b parameters, displayed various colors depending on the apple variety and native phenolic composition. HPLC-DAD-MS revealed contrasting pigment profiles related to oxidized tanning and nontanning molecules. The latter were divided into two groups according to their polarity and their visible spectra. With regard to phenolic classes, flavanol monomers and hydroxycinnamic acids played an essential role in the formation of oxidation products. Interestingly, dihydrochalcones appeared to include precursors of some yellow compounds. Indeed, the yellow pigment phloretin xyloglucoside oxidation product (PXGOPj), derived from phloretin xyloglucoside, was clearly identified in apple juices as a xyloglucose analogue of the yellow pigment phloridzin oxidation product (POPj), previously characterized in a model solution by Le Guernevé et al. (Tetrahedron Lett. 2004, 45 (35), 6673-6677).

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is an enzyme widely distributed in the plant kingdom that has been detected in most fruits and vegetables. PPO was extracted and purified from Manila mango (Mangifera indica), and its biochemical properties were studied. PPO was purified 216-fold by hydrophobic interaction and ion exchange chromatography. PPO was purified to homogeneity, and the estimated PPO molecular weight (MW) by SDS-PAGE was ≈31.5 kDa. However, a MW of 65 kDa was determined by gel filtration, indicating a dimeric structure for the native PPO. The isolated PPO showed the highest affinity to pyrogallol (Km = 2.77 mM) followed by 4-methylcatechol (Km = 3.14 mM) and catechol (Km = 15.14 mM). The optimum pH for activity was 6.0. PPO was stable in the temperature range of 20-70 °C. PPO activity was completely inhibited by tropolone, ascorbic acid, sodium metabisulfite, and kojic acid at 0.1 mM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polyphenol oxidase (PPO), often encoded by a multi-gene family, causes oxidative browning, a significant problem in many food products. Low-browning potatoes were produced previously through suppression of PPO gene expression, but the contribution of individual PPO gene isoform to the oxidative browning process was unknown. Here we investigated the contributions of different PPO genes to total PPO protein activity, and the correlations between PPO protein level, PPO activity and tuber tissue browning potential by suppression of all previously characterized potato PPO genes, both individually and in combination using artificial microRNAs (amiRNAs) technology. RESULTS Survey of the potato genome database revealed 9 PPO-like gene models, named StuPPO1 to StuPPO9 in this report. StuPPO1, StuPPO2, StuPPO3 and StuPPO4 are allelic to the characterized POTP1/P2, POT32, POT33 and POT72, respectively. Fewer ESTs were found to support the transcriptions of StuPPO5 to StuPPO8. StuPPO9 related ESTs were expressed at significant higher levels in pathogen-infected potato tissues. A series of browning phenotypes were obtained by suppressing StuPPO1 to StuPPO4 genes alone and in combination. Down-regulation of one or several of the PPO genes did not usually cause up-regulation of the other PPO genes in the transgenic potato tubers, but resulted in reduced PPO protein levels. The different PPO genes did not contribute equally to the total PPO protein content in the tuber tissues, with StuPPO2 accounting for ~ 55% as the major contributor, followed by StuPPO1, ~ 25-30% and StuPPO3 and StuPPO4 together with less than 15%. Strongly positive correlations between PPO protein level, PPO activity and browning potential were demonstrated in our analysis. Low PPO activity and low-browning potatoes were produced by simultaneous down-regulation of StuPPO2 to StuPPO4, but the greatest reduction occurred when StuPPO1 to StuPPO4 were all suppressed. CONCLUSION StuPPO1 to StuPPO4 genes contributed to browning reactions in tuber tissues but their effect was not equal. Different PPO genes may be regulated independently reflecting their diversified functions. Our results show that amiRNAs can be used to suppress closely related members of highly conserved multi-gene family. This approach also suggests a new strategy for breeding low-browning crops using small DNA inserts.
