Dillenia philippinensis ROLFE, known as katmon in most of the local Philippine languages, belongs to the family Dilleniaceae of which there are approximately 120 species. The species D. philippinensis is endemic to the Philippine islands, common in forests at low and medium altitudes. Many Dillenia species are used in traditional medicine for various conditions, such as cancer, diarrhea and art...

The purpose of this study was to produce a non-dairy functional beverage containing Lacticaseibacillus casei, passion fruit juice, and yam flour. physical chemical characteristics, consumer acceptance, viability L. casei during storage time, resistance in vitro simulated gastrointestinal tract conditions were investigated. beverages considered good sources fiber well accepted their aroma, color...

In plant tissues, enzymes implicated in the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway are responsible for the hydroperoxydation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, ultimately leading to the production of small chemical species involved in several physiological processes. During industrial olive oil production, these enzymes are activated upon crushing and grinding of olive fruit tissue, subsequently leading to th...

Substantial differences exist in muskmelons regarding flavor and fresh-cut processing quality. We are attempting to discriminate volatile compounds that can be used as reliable breeding indicators for melon quality. Analysis of commercially available cultivars and their male and female inbred breeding lines may indicate hereditary linkages and help pinpoint desirable flavor attributes. Cantalou...

The effect of application methods with different boron levels on the growth, fruit quality and flavor tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L., cv. ‘Jinpeng No.1’) were investigated under greenhouse conditions. Seven treatments used included two (leaf root application) four (0, 1.9, 3.8 5.7 mg?L?1 H3BO3). Experimental outcomes revealed that both significantly increased net photosynthetic rate chlorophyl...

the investigations were carried out in 2007 on the fruit of 7 native early-ripening apple cultivars grown in karaj climatic conditions, harvested in two phenological stages of maturity and ripenning. the harvested samples were stored at (0 ± 0.5) c and (85 ± 5) % of humidity. the measured sensorial traits consisted in: aroma, flavor, sweetness, flesh quality and general acceptability achieved ...

Japanese plums are classified as climacteric; however, some economically important cultivars selected in California produce very little ethylene and require long ripening both "on" and "off" the tree to reach eating-ripe firmness. To unravel the ripening behavior of different Japanese plum cultivars, ripening was examined in the absence (air) or in the presence of ethylene or propylene (an ethy...

Volatile emissions of navel orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck cv. Washington) fruit were evaluated as a means for predicting and gauging freeze damage. The fruits were subjected to -5 or -7 degrees C treatments in a laboratory freezer for various time periods of 2-9.5 h and stored at 23 degrees C for 1, 2, or 7 days, after which time the emission of volatiles from the fruit was measured. Follow...

The odor-active volatile compounds of yellow tamarillo fruit (S. betaceum Cav.) were identified and quantified by using a sensomics approach, combining a gentle volatile extraction (solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE)), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and sensory analyses (gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA)). The medium-term pu...
