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 …

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 …

Fresh-cut lettuce, stored in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), is a frequent component
of bagged salads. However, even in MAP, fresh-cut lettuce is highly perishable due to non …

The aim of the presented study was to evaluate the release of the enzymatically initiated
production of hexanal from double emulsion electrospun bio-active membranes at a …

Hexanal extends the shelf life of fresh produce. Due to its high volatility and spontaneous
oxidation, control release of hexanal is a challenge. The objective of the study was to …

Postharvest diseases viz., anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum musae and crown rot
caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae severely impacts the banana trade and quality. The …

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 …

The effects of hexanal supplementation in the storage atmosphere of 'Fuji Kiku'apples were
investigated. The contents of volatile compounds (VOCs) in the headspace emitted by apple …

Abstract 'Umran'Indian jujube is a widely grown cultivar due to its marketable quality and
productivity, resulting in excellent market value. Despite its high quality, the product's short …
