Antioxidant activity is an important feature for evaluating fruit quality and tolerance to biotic
or abiotic stresses. Moreover, antioxidant activity is involved in chilling injury (CI) response …

Abstract BACKGROUND Persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) fruit is characterized by rapid
metabolic changes following ripening, and softening occurs due to the gradual breakdown …

The membrane degradation process associated with ripening and senescence of fruit is
accelerated by the enzyme phospholipase D (PLD). Hexanal is a compound with high …

Hexanal, a C-6 aldehyde has been implicated to have antimicrobial properties. Hence, this
study was conducted to determine the antifungal activities of hexanal vapor against major …

Hexanal is a naturally occurring bioactive volatile compound which extends post-harvest
shelf life of fruits and vegetable by preserving the cell membrane from degradation. The aim …

Abstract Ripening of 'Nanguo'pears (Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim.) can be slowed down by cold
storage, but the peel of fruit is prone to browning when they are returned to room …

Abstract L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) is an aromatic essential amino acid. Although postharvest
L-Phe treatment can alleviate chilling injury (CI) of fruit by scavenging excessive reactive …

Figs (Ficus carica L.) are rich in nutrients, but their rapid metabolic changes due to the
climacteric respiratory behavior during ripening make them a highly perishable commodity …

Blueberries are vulnerable to chilling injury (CI). This can lead to limited longevity when they
are subjected to cold storage conditions. This study investigated the effectiveness of a …

Apples (Malus domestica Borkh) are prone to preharvest fruit drop, which is more
pronounced in 'Honeycrisp'. Hexanal is known to improve fruit retention in several …
