“…China is one of the largest producers of pomelo and among the top five exporters in the world (Makkumrai, Huang, & Xu, 2021). China has the largest cultivated area and annual production of persimmons in the world (Dong, et al, 2022). Malaysia is famous for the production of carambola (Vargas-Madriz, et al, 2021).…”

The paper talks about the facts that were established in the research of the origin of fruits and vegetables in the markets of Novi Sad. The results of the research are presented using graphic and cartographic methods. Observed illogicalities are clarified in communication with consumers and sellers. The obtained results were compared with foreign works. One of the goals of the work was to determine the extent of suburban agriculture, which should be the most competitive with others further away from the city. Economic factors have a decisive influence from where the city will be supplied with fruits and vegetables.

“…Originally native to Asia, and particularly China, the cultivation of Diospyros kaki has now spread across various nations [11]. Key producing countries include Korea, Japan, Brazil, Turkey, and Italy [12], with China leading global production, accounting for over 75% of the world's output, and producing more than 3 million tons of persimmons annually [13]. Food waste represents a significant global challenge, with approximately 1.3 billion tons of food being discarded annually, often including fruit peels [14].…”

The persimmon fruit (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) is renowned for its exceptional health benefits, which can be attributed to its abundance of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to optimize the extraction of bioactive compounds from persimmon peel, an underexplored waste biomass, within the frame of sustainability and a circular economy. For this reason, a comprehensive multi-factor extraction approach was employed. Specifically, diverse methods including a pulsed electric field and ultrasonication combined with simple stirring were explored. Through this systematic approach, the most efficient extraction process was determined, resulting in elevated yields of bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, ascorbic acid, and total carotenoids. Among the identified phenolic compounds, rutin emerged as the most abundant, with concentrations reaching up to 172.86 μg/g. Utilizing partial least squares analysis, the maximum predicted values for the bioactive compounds were determined, with total polyphenols reaching 7.17 mg GAE/g, ascorbic acid at 4.93 mg/g, and total carotenoids at 386.47 μg CtE/g. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was evaluated with the ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, and H2O2 scavenging assays. The recorded antioxidant performance underscored the substantial potential of persimmon peels as a source of cost-effective extracts with high antioxidant activity. This study not only contributes to optimizing the bioactive compounds’ extraction from persimmon peel but also highlights the process’s viability by producing valuable extracts with antioxidant properties at low cost.

“…Kluge (2009a, 2009b) reviewed the artificial removal of astringency in persimmons regarding its biochemical, physiological, and technological aspects, while Akagi et al (2011) reviewed the proanthocyanidins biosynthesis in persimmon fruit. Some more recent publications were also found, such as those published by Wu et al (2022) and Dong et al (2022). However, Wu et al (2022) provide a comprehensive synthesis on astringency while Dong et al (2022) discusses the current status of persimmon in China, addressing phytotechnical aspects, such as rootstocks and breeding programs.…”

Despite such publications, there is still a lack of recent studies broadly addressing the biochemical and genetic control mechanism of astringency in persimmon fruit.…”
