This study aims to investigate the impact of direct and alternating current electric field (DCEF
and ACEF) on quality variety tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.), exploring the mechanism …

Lactose is a disaccharide and has many uses in food and non-food formulations. Its
anomeric form, β-lactose, is a natural inhibitor of the galectin-3 protein, which is responsible …

The timing of plant organ abscission is modulated by the balance of two hormones, ethylene
and auxin, while the mechanism of organ shedding depends on the loss of middle lamella …

This study investigated the structural and functional characteristics of two different molecular
weight persimmon pectin extracted from unripe persimmon (PP-1) and ripe persimmon (PP …

To investigate the physiological and molecular properties relating to cell wall carbohydrate
metabolism in fruit, the ultrastructure and polysaccharides compositions of the cell wall, as …

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is a fleshy fruit with a rapid pulp softening during ripening.
Ripening events are accompanied by gradual depolymerization of pectic polysaccharides …

Dietary fibers have been shown to exert immune effects via interaction with pattern
recognition receptors (PRR) such as toll-like receptors (TLR) and nucleotide-binding …

Dietary fibers (DFs) consumption promotes a healthier gut through colonic fermentation and
the modulation of different types of gut bacteria. The aim of this study is to evaluate the …
