Dielectric properties of in-shell peanuts with radio frequency and microwave heating treatment and RF heating performance Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Dengwen Lei, Yongkang Xie, Zehui Jia, Wenling Sun, Zekang Peng, Yanhong Liu
Radio frequency (RF) heating technology has potential advantages for drying or sterilization of in-shell peanuts, with a critical need for understanding the dielectric properties governing energy conversion. In this study, the dielectric properties of peanut shells and kernels were measured over the frequency range of 10 MHz ∼ 3 GHz, spanning temperatures from 20 to 80 °C. Results showed that the dielectric

Machine learning for storage duration based on volatile organic compounds emitted from 'Jukhyang' and 'Merry Queen' strawberries during post-harvest storage Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Eunsu Do, Mingyeong Kim, Da-Yeong Ko, Mijeong Lee, Cheolgyu Lee, Kang-Mo Ku
Strawberry ( Duch.) is a widely favored horticultural crop renowned for its unique taste and flavor. To develop an accurate predictive model for strawberry freshness, colorimetric data, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were investigated in fully ripe 'Jukhyang' and 'Merry Queen' strawberries. Data measurements were conducted after 0, 4, 8, and 12 days

Transcriptional reprogramming regulated by the antagonistic crosstalk between strigolactone and sugar during leaf senescence of chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Yi Zhang, Yingying Xing, Xinyu Tian, Liuhui Yang, Likai Wang, Zhiyong Guan, Jiafu Jiang, Fadi Chen, Sumei Chen
Strigolactone (SL), a novel plant hormone, plays a vital role in promoting leaf senescence. Sugar, a nutrient source widely used to retain freshness of cut flowers, was recently reported to alleviate SL-induced leaf senescence; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Leaf senescence during transportation and storage of cut chrysanthemum considerably affects its shelf life and ornamental

Overexpression of MrMYB12 or MrMYB12/MrF3’5’H results in flavonol-rich tomato fruit that improves resistance against Botrytis cinerea during the shelf life period Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Yunlin Cao, Ruining Zhang, Ruohan Ou, Yuyang Mei, Xiangrui Cui, Tong Zhang, Xiaochun Yang, Yanna Shi, Xiaoyong Zhao, Changjie Xu, Kunsong Chen, Xian Li
Flavonols are one class of flavonoids that play a crucial role in regulating plant growth and promoting stress resistance. They are also important dietary components in horticultural crops due to their benefits for human health. However, flavonol levels in commonly consumed horticultural crops are insufficient to provide optimal benefits, and their role in regulating postharvest pathogen resistance

Silencing Sly-miR167a delayed preharvest ripening of tomato fruit Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-07 Wenhui Duan, Jingrui Yan, Lei Li, Hongmiao Song, Lanhuan Meng, Zhengke Zhang, Xiangbin Xu, Qing Wang, Jiangkuo Li
The () family is a conserved type of microRNA in plants, which mainly regulates the () family genes to influence the auxin signaling pathway and control fruit ripening. In the present study, the overexpression of (OE-) and Silencing- by short tandem target mimic (STTM-) tomato lines was obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The results showed that the STTM- reduced the accumulation of

Postharvest MeJA maintains the shelf quality of kiwifruit after cold storage by regulating antioxidant capacity and activating the disease resistance Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Guofang Xie, Na Liu, Yan Zhang, Shuming Tan, Yanqun Xu, Zisheng Luo
To gain a deeper understanding of the mechanism of MeJA-induced resistance to soft rot in kiwifruit, we explored the effects of postharvest MeJA on physiological, antioxidant capacity, disease resistance enzymes, and transcriptomic during the shelf life of kiwifruit after cold storage. The results showed that postharvest MeJA promoted the respiration rate, inhibited the ethylene release rate in the

Understanding the effect of calcium in kiwifruit ripening and establishment of early and late response mechanisms through a cross-omics approach Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Chrysanthi Polychroniadou, Michail Michailidis, Martina Samiotaki, Ioannis-Dimosthenis S. Adamakis, Eleni Giannoutsou, Christina Skodra, Evangelos Karagiannis, Christos Bazakos, Athanassios Molassiotis, Georgia Tanou
Calcium (Ca) is a secondary messenger that plays a pivotal role in kiwifruit ripening; however, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Herein, we characterize the physiological and molecular responses of kiwifruit to calcium nutrition and how these changes could influence fruit ripening. Our study addresses the response of kiwifruit to calcium in both the early (8 h after calcium application)

Multifunctional fibrous films fabricated by microfluidic blow spinning for the preservation of fresh-cut apples Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-04 Chaoyi Shen, Jingshan Rao, Di Wu, Kunsong Chen
Fresh-cut apples are very popular with consumers. Controlling browning and microbial infestation in fresh-cut apples helps extend their shelf life. Micro-nano-fibers have high porosity and high specific surface area, which means they can load and release active substances more efficiently, thus potentially reducing the amount of active substances used to maintain fruit quality and providing sustained

Use of UVC radiation as a postharvest stressor to increase phenolic compounds concentration and antioxidant status in purple, orange, and white carrots Postharvest Biol. Technol. (IF 7.0) Pub Date : 2024-02-03 Lucia Valerga, Roxana E. González, Mariano Mauricci, Analía Concellón, Pablo F. Cavagnaro
Previous studies have demonstrated that postharvest UVC radiation can increase antioxidant status in orange carrots, but the response to UVC in other carrot colors is unclear. This study investigated the effect of postharvest UVC radiation (8 kJ m) on the concentration of total phenolics (TP), total hydroxycinnamic acids (HI), chlorogenic acid (CGA), anthocyanin content and composition, and antioxidant
