Characterization of polyphenols, sugars, and other polar compounds in persimmon juices produced under different technologies and their assessment in terms of compositional variations

Chemical profiling approach to evaluate the influence of traditional and simplified decoction methods on the holistic quality of Da-Huang-Xiao-Shi decoction using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detection and time-of-flight

“…Based on these fragmentation ions and retention times, peaks 12 and 13 were tentatively identified as caryoptosidic acid and shanzhiside, respectively [25]. Peaks 14,15,19,20,34,67,68, and 74 were identified similarly based on the fragmentation pathways as well as the literature reports [26] and the assignment of these compounds is summarized in Supporting Information Table S1.…”

“…A good separation and global identification of chemical constituents in DHXSD is vitally important and is also a big challenge because of the variety of the constituents with different chemical structures and concentration levels. HPLC coupled with diode array detection (DAD) and ESI-TOF-MS has been proved as an effective technique for solving this kind of problem [15,16]. Apart from chromatographic separation, a TOF analyzer has the advantage to produce exact mass measurements, which can confirm or rule out potential molecular formulas.…”

Optimization of tropical fruit juice based on sensory and nutritional characteristics

“…Consumers are increasingly concerned about their nutrition and fruit juice can be a great ally for a healthy diet. The fruit juices are sources of vitamins, minerals, organic acids and fiber whose effect on human health is fundamental (Jiménez-Sánchez et al, 2015).…”

Nondestructive determination of soluble solids content of persimmons by using dielectric spectroscopy

“…It was reported that Chinese production of persimmon fruits in 2013 reached 3,618,823 t. [1] The persimmon fruit is a nutritionally beneficial fruit which contains large amounts of sugars, vitamin C, carotenoids, and polyphenols in the fresh fruits. [2] Although persimmons can be used to produce dried persimmon, persimmon vinegar, alcohol, and beverage, etc, fresh-eat persimmons are still the main products in persimmon consumption. Persimmons are usually sorted manually or automatically by their external quality features, such as size, shape, and color.…”

“…[12][13][14] In this study, dielectric spectroscopy technique combined with characteristic variables selection approaches was applied to determine the SSC of persimmons during postharvest storage. The main objectives of this research were (1) to extract some characteristic dielectric variables that contain enough useful information by using different characteristic variables selection methods; (2) to build different models for determining SSC of persimmons originated from different orchards; and (3) to evaluate the potential of dielectric spectroscopy in nondestructively determining SSC of persimmons.…”
