“…In this process, small particles of core materials are enclosed within a nanometer-scale wall material (an encapsulant-in this case, one smaller than 1 µm). The selection of the nanoencapsulation method depends on the specific oil being encapsulated and the material used as the encapsulant [18,19]. Additionally, studies have been conducted to develop nano-emulsions containing HCPO for use in packaging, and the physical, thermal, and thermodynamic properties of nanoemulsions have been evaluated [20][21][22][23][24].…”

Interspecific hybrid crude palm oil (HCPO) HIE OxG derived from crossbred African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) and American Caiaué (Elaeis oleifera) is prominent for its fatty acid and antioxidant compositions (carotenoids, tocopherols, and tocotrienols), lower production cost, and high pest resistance properties compared to crude palm oil. Biodegradable and sustainable encapsulants derived from vegetable byproducts were used to formulate HCPO nanoparticles. Nanoparticles with hybrid crude palm oil and jackfruit seed flour as a wall material (N-JSF) and with hybrid crude palm oil and jackfruit axis flour as a wall material (N-JAF) were optimized using a 22 experimental design. They exhibited nanoscale diameters (<250 nm) and were characterized based on their zeta potential, apparent viscosity, pH, color, and total carotenoid content. The nanoparticles demonstrated a monodisperse distribution, good uniformity, and stability (polydispersity index < 0.25; zeta potentials: N-JSF −19.50 ± 1.47 mV and N-JAF −12.50 ± 0.17 mV), as well as high encapsulation efficiency (%) (N-JSF 86.44 ± 0.01 and N-JAF 90.43 ± 1.34) and an optimal carotenoid retention (>85%). These nanoparticles show potential for use as sustainable and clean-label HCPO alternatives in the food industry.

“…This fruit is also highly perishable due to low mechanical resistance, high respiration rate, and high susceptibility to pathogen attack. Some undesirable changes observed during postharvest include weight loss, accelerated softening, mechanical injury, and Botrytis cinerea -induced decay 15 . Aghdam and Fard 16 reported that the reduction of decay in strawberry fruit treated with melatonin during storage might be due to the accumulation of H 2 O 2 signaling to stimulate the GABA shunt pathway, providing sufficient intracellular ATP along with the accumulation of more phenols and anthocyanins and as a result increasing the DPPH inhibition capacity.…”

Ripening as a physico-chemical change is part of a continuous developmental process and hormones play a major role in this processes. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of external melatonin (0 and 10 μM) injection at the light green stage on the ripening of strawberry fruit. The fruit was sampled for morphological, biochemical, and gene expression analysis during (0, 5, 10, and 15 days after treatment). The results showed a lower accumulation of anthocyanin content was observed in fruits treated with 10 μM. The injection of 10 μM melatonin caused a lower total soluble solid content and fruit color, and higher titratable acidity and softening. The total phenol content was higher in fruit treated with 10 µM melatonin, accompanied by increased PAL enzyme activity and gene expression, increased DPPH scavenging capacity, and higher content of quercetin, gallic, caffeic, and chlorogenic acids. The delay in fruit ripening was associated with suppression of H2O2 level and endogenous ABA accumulation caused by lower expression of NCEDs genes. In general, it is concluded that activating the melatonin ROS scavenging cascade might be responsible for the delayed ripening and development of strawberry fruit. Therefore, our study demonstrates that the exogenous application of 10 μM melatonin can slow the ripening of strawberry fruit.

“…They have been studied for their potential use as a natural alternative to traditional antimicrobial agents in various applications, including agriculture, food preservation, medical devices, and personal care products (Hashem et al, 2023). Several articles have reported the fungicidal effect of nanoemulsions against plant pathogens, including Fusarium, Phytophthora, and Botrytis (Javanmardi et al, 2023). T. vulgaris nanoemulsion exhibits antifungal activity against a variety of fungal plant diseases by suppress the growth of fungi that cause plant diseases such as Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea, and Penicillium expansum (Hassanin et al, 2017a;Zhang et al, 2022).…”

Essential oil nanoemulsions have received much attention in the last period for controlling of fungal plant pathogens. In this study, thyme oil nanoemulsion (TONE) was successfully prepared from thyme oil which extracted from Thymus vulgaris (T. vulgaris). The prepared TONE was characterized using DLS, Zeta potential, and TEM analyses. Results revealed that, TONE has spherical shape with size 32.7 nm. Moreover, results illustrated that TONE exhibited promising antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum (F. oxysporum) with minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) 5 mg/ml. Additionally, TONE concentrations 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/ml reduced the growth of F. oxysporum with percentages 7.78, 31.1, 52.2 and 67.8 % respectively. Disease index (DI) of Fusarium wilt reached the maximum rate by (85 %) in the Foeniculum vulgare (F. vulgare) plant infected with F. oxysporum. Application of TONE treatment on infected plants led to a decrease in DI to (17.5%) and an increase in the percentage of protection to (79.4%). Furthermore, DI was decrease to 42.5% with protection percentage 50% in the case of infected plant with TOE. Moreover, TOE, TONE played an important role in improving plant immunity by increasing phenol, proline, and antioxidant enzymes (POD&PPO) activities, as well as reducing oxidative stress by reducing (MDA & H2O2). Results revealed that TONE led to significant increase in free proline in compared to TOE. We can conclude that TOE, TONE are considered eco-friendly safe strong inducers of F. vulgare plant immunity alternatives to difenoconazole against fusarial wilt disease to preserve plant, soil, and human health.
