Ripening of fleshy fruit is a differentiation process involving biochemical and biophysical
changes that lead to the accumulation of sugars and subsequent changes in tissue texture …

Phenolic secondary metabolites play an important role in plant‐derived food quality, as they
affect quality characteristics such as appearance, flavour and health‐promoting properties …

Tomato plants, Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Tmknvf2, and watermelon plants, Citrullus
lanatus [Thomb.] Mansf. cv. Dulce maravilla, were grown for 30 days at different …

Adverse conditions often induce an increase in active oxygen species (AOS) such as
hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2). H 2 O 2 is converted to water, and thus becomes detoxified by …

Chilling injury (CI) is associated with the degradation of membrane integrity which can be
aligned to phenolic oxidation activated by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) …

Cherimoya fruit (Annona cherimola, Mill.) were kept at 20° C in air or in 20% CO2 for 3 days
and then transferred to air, to study the effect of a high CO2 treatment on phenolic …

The influences of harvest time and storage on the quality indices and nutritional content of
kiwifruit were evaluated. Antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid, total phenol content …

Kluai Khai (Musa AA Group) and Kluai Hom Thong (Musa AAA Group) bananas were stored
at 6 and 10° C. Visible chilling injury (CI) in the peel, mainly browning, occurred at both …

Phytohormones play critical roles in regulating plant responses to stress. We investigated
the effects of salinity on abscisic acid (ABA), indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), salicylic acid (SA) …

A randomized complete block (RCBD) study was designed to investigate the effects of
cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) on the growth, bioaccumulation of the two heavy metals …
