Pear (Pyrus spp.) is one of the most commonly consumed temperate fruits, having considerable economic and health importance. Fresh-cut or processed pear fruits are prone to browning because abundant phenolic compounds; however, little known about molecular mechanisms underlying enzymatic fresh-cut sand fruit. In this study, two genotypes (low cultivar ‘Eli No.2′ high ‘Weiningdahuangli’) were us...

cyclodextrins (cds) are a family of cyclic oligosaccharides which are composed of α (1,4) -linked glucopyranose subunits. thebest-characterized forms are α, β and γ cd which are consisted of six, seven and eight d-glucose units, respectively. cyclodextrins are produced from starch by enzymatic degradation. these macrocyclic carbohydrates with polar internal cavities can form complexes with and ...

Table grapes commonly suffer from tissue browning during harvest, packing, storage and shelf life, resulting in lower prices and reduced access to markets. We evaluated the development of browning symptoms in ‘Princess’ table grapes. The berries had high skin browning but very low flesh browning incidences. The most skin browning was found in highly mature grapes and appeared after 3 weeks of c...
