Guava (Psidium guajava) encompasses a broad range of nutritional and therapeutic potential. Depending on the species, the fruits are 4-12 cm long and have a round or oval form. It belongs to the Myrtaceous family and mostly cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates of subcontinent including Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. The most therapeutic value could be traced in pink form of guava. The phytochemicals "quercetin, avicularin, apigenin, guaijaverin, kaempferol, hyperin, myricetin, gallic acid, catechin, epicatechin, chlorogenic acid, epigallocatechin gallate, and caffeic acid" have been investigated in the guava plant leaves for its therapeutic properties. Antidiarrheal, antihypertensive, antilipidemic, anticancer, and other health promoting benefits are associated in both of the fruits and the leaves of guava. The nutritional and phytochemical profiles of guava leaves are presented in detail in current review. Many bioactivities of guava leaf extracts are also critically investigated. Guava leaves might be employed as a component in of nutraceutical and medications due to their phytochemical profile. To prove the efficacy of the guava leaf extracts, further extensive clinical trials are needed.

“…Previous studies have reported the cuticular transpiration for leaves, fruits, and petals, lower transpiration for leaves than fruits and petals (Cheng et al, 2019; Diarte et al, 2020; Huang et al, 2020). The minimum conductance of leaves in CK (8.9 × 10 −5 m s −1 ) was closed to the cuticular transpiration level for most investigated plant leaves.…”

“…Previous studies have widely explored the possible efficient methods and technologies to delay the rapid quality changes, as well as their putative physiological and molecular regulation on various vegetables. For instance, different postharvest treatments of cytokinins (Li et al, 2021), 1-MCP (Sun et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2014), high oxygen atmosphere package (Wang et al, 2020), and illumination (Noichinda et al, 2007) could delay senescence of leaf or stem in CFC or CK during storage. In addition, the roles of the hormones ABA, GA, and melatonin and the transcription regulations in the biosynthesis of these hormones during leaf senescence of CFC have been well investigated (Fan et al, 2018;Tan, 2019).…”

Plant cuticle as hydrophobic barrier covers almost all aerial plant organs. Herein the cuticular chemical components and the transpiration of various organs of Chinese flowering cabbage (CFC) and Chinese kale (CK) were comprehensively characterized. Numerous species‐ and organ‐specific differences in morphological, chemical, and physiological levels were found. The various organs were relatively smooth in surface for CFC but glaucous with hollow tube‐ and plate‐type crystals for CK. The chemical composition of cuticular waxes were very‐long chain n‐alkanes, ketones, secondary alcohols with a prominent carbon chain of C29 in CK, primary alcohols dominated by C26, and aldehydes prominently C30 in CFC. Cutin monomers accumulated with similar levels as waxes and were dominated by α,ω‐dicarboxylic acids and fatty acids without added groups. The minimum water conductance differed considerably among species and various organs ranging between 8.9 × 10−5 (CK leaf) and 3.7 × 10−4 m s−1 (CFC leaf petiole). These differences in transpiration properties were proposed to be largely related to the cuticular chemicals in various organs and species. The presented results provide further insights to link the transpiration barrier functions with surface characteristics and cuticular chemicals.

“…The reason for this is related to the increasing degree of ripeness of the fruit. The outer tissue layers become more permeable with increasing time [13]. The stored variants with a coating consistently showed lower transpiration rate compared to the control.…”

Edible starch-based materials have shown a positive impact on quality parameters. In this study, plums (Prunus domestica cv. Jojo) were divided into five groups: a control, two coating treatments (starch and starch-whey protein (80–20%), and two film systems (starch and starch-whey protein (80–20%). Biodegradable packaging, particularly the coating treatment, had no negative effect on color parameters. After 28 days of performed tests, firmness was boosted with starch and starch-whey protein (80–20%) films. With the coated materials, there was no significant difference compared to control group. The lowest transpiration velocity was of plums wrapped in starch films. In the case of respiration rate, no significant difference was observed between the packaging and control samples. After the conducted trials, the weight loss of untreated plums was at 10%, while 5% of weight loss was noticed for plums wrapped in starch materials, and around 6% was noticed for the other materials. Oxygen permeability was higher for S-WP films, the thickness of S and S-WP films were comparable and thickness of starch coating was around 60% higher than S-WP. Both films have an affinity to water and both show typical behavior of water vapor sensitive hydrophilic biopolymers. The starch film with the addition of 20% of proteins increased the resistance of gas exchanges, which represents one of its great benefits.
