This work focuses on the developments related to lycopene, a natural carotenoid and
bioactive compound, particularly with reference to its chemistry and biological activity and its …

Background Grapes (Vitis species) are economically the most important fruit crop worldwide.
However, the complexity of molecular and biochemical events that lead to ripening of berries …

Deficit irrigation (DI) at phenological stages less sensitive to water stress (pit hardening and
post-harvest stage) influenced fruit quality, plant growth, return bloom and incidence of …

Transmission Resonance Raman (TRR) spectroscopy combines increased signal-to-noise
ratio with enhanced analytical sensibility. TRR was applied to directly monitor, without any …

Carotenoids were identified in Port wines where they have been shown to be precursors of
norisoprenoids that have floral, fruity or sweet aromas. The finding that young Port wines …

Port is a sweet fortified wine, vinified in the Douro demarcated region from grapes grown in
that region. The unique characteristics of Ports as they are presented in bottled, commercial …

Sustainable viticulture appeared as a breakthrough approach aiming to enhance the quality
of grape varieties as an efficient use of non-renewable natural resources. This leads to wine …

The aim of this study is to identify the relationships between vine vigour, canopy
microclimate and secondary metabolite accumulation in cv Nebbiolo berries. The aromatic …

This study first investigated the developmental changes in the volatile composition and
carotenoids of Pinot noir grapes. Grape berries were sampled every week from pea size to …

A study was conducted on the impact of edaphic factors on the phytochemicals of Tridax
procumbens L. and their ability to inhibit the growth of three Aspergillus spp.(A. fumigatus, A …
