一种新型的速冻荔枝果皮抗褐变剂的研究

本文报道一种天然、高效、无毒的新型抗褐变剂(KH—1)用于防止速冻荔枝果皮变褐的试验结果,新鲜荔枝经KH—1处理三分钟后,速冻冷藏三个月,解冻后其果皮保色时间可达24小时以上,裂果率为4％,果肉品质和风味保持良好,通过测定贮藏期间果皮多酚氧化酶活性和果肉中糖和维生素C等的含量,表明整体效果明显优于其它技术措施处理的速冻荔枝。     

抗褐变与褐变安梨叶片的酶活性比较

为了探寻抗褐变安梨品系燕安3叶片中相关酶活性与果实抗褐变之间的关系,以燕安3和不抗褐变的对照品种燕安1,燕安2的叶片为材料,测定了POD,CAT,PPO,SOD等酶活性。结果表明:燕安3叶片中POD,CAT活性分别为(48.36±3.27)U/(g.min)和(122.65±8.34)U/(g.min),均显著高于两个对照品种;且3个安梨品种(系)叶片中POD,CAT,PPO活性由大到小的排序均为:燕安3,燕安1,燕安2;而安梨叶片中SOD活性则与果实褐变度不相关。     

Prevention of Enzymatic Browning by Natural Extracts and Genome-Editing: A Review on Recent Progress

Fresh fruits and vegetable products are easily perishable during postharvest handling due to enzymatic browning reactions. This phenomenon has contributed to a significant loss of food quality and appearance. Thus, a safe and effective alternative method from natural sources is needed to tackle enzymatic browning prevention. The capabilities of natural anti-browning agents derived from plant- and animal-based resources in inhibiting enzymatic activity have been demonstrated in the literature. Some also possess strong antioxidants properties. This review aims to summarize a recent investigation regarding the use of natural anti-browning extracts from different sources for controlling the browning. The potential applications of genome-editing in preventing browning activity and improving postharvest quality is also discussed. Moreover, the patents on the anti-browning extract from natural sources is also presented in this review. The information reviewed here could provide new insights, contributing to the development of natural anti-browning extracts and genome-editing techniques for the prevention of food browning.
