Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) can be sorted into red- and white-fleshed cultivars. The flesh of Luoyangqing (LYQ, red-fleshed) appears red-orange because of a high content of carotenoids while the flesh of Baisha (BS, white-fleshed) appears ivory white due to a lack of carotenoid accumulation. The carotenoid content in the peel and flesh of LYQ was approximately 68 μg g(-1) and 13 μg g(-1...

in this study, the amount of total phenol, chlorogenic acid, catechin, quercetin, phloridzin, cyanidin and antioxidant activity of apple (malus domestica) skin and flesh of six iranian cultivars, including: ‘golab kohanz’, ‘sib torsh dirras’, ‘ghara yapragh’, ‘torkman’, ‘ghezel alma’ and ‘abbasi mashhad’, and four commercial cultivars including: ‘golden delicious’, ‘red delicious’, ‘braeburn’ a...

This study reports the first observations indicating the spatiotemporal relationships among genetic and physiological aspects of ripening in the berry of Vitis vinifera. At the onset of ripening in the red flesh variety Alicante Bouschet, colour development began in the flesh at the stylar end of the fruit and progressed toward the pedicel end flesh and into the skin. Tissue solute potential an...

Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] flesh color is controlled by several genes to produce red, orange, salmon yellow, canary yellow, or white. The objective of these experiments was to study the interaction of three independently reported gene loci, each having two or three alleles: C (canary yellow) versus c (red), y (salmon yellow) versus Y (red) versus y8 (orange), and i ...

The Cappadocia Region in Central Anatolia, Turkey is rich wild apricot genetic resources. In this study, a multivariate analysis method of metric and nonmetric multidimensional scaling (MDS) was used to classify 43 genotypes 5 standard cultivars by using Euclidean distance. MDS applied, based on dissimilarities, quantitative traits weight, height, width thickness fruit, stone kernel flesh/stone...

Yan73, a teinturier (dyer) grape variety in China, is one of the few Vitis vinifera cultivars with red-coloured berry flesh. To examine the tissue-specific expression of genes associated with berry colour in Yan73, we analysed the differential accumulation of anthocyanins in the skin and flesh tissues of two red-skinned grape varieties with either red (Yan73) or white flesh (Muscat Hamburg) bas...

the effects of a nano-emulsion chitosan-based coating on enhancing the shelf-life and quality of golab kohanz apples were studied. the nano-emulsion coating containing chitosan with a concentration of 2000 ppm was applied for coating of golab kohanz apples. coated and uncoated apples were packed in normal packaging cardboards and kept at 2 ± 1 °c with a relative humidity within 80-85%. flesh fi...

Iron deficiency (ID) is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency within the developed world. This is of concern as ID has been shown to affect immunity, thermoregulation, work performance and cognition. Animal flesh foods provide the richest and most bioavailable source of dietary (haem) iron, however, it is unclear whether low animal flesh diets contribute to ID. This systematic review aimed to ...
