Electrostatic atomised water particles reduces postharvest lignification and maintain asparagus quality

Impact of melatonin application on lignification in water bamboo shoot during storage

“…In our study, compared to control water bamboo shoot, we observed that MT treatment lower the decreases of phenols content and increases of lignin content the decrease in total phenol content during storage. These results were in agreement with EAWP treatment delayed phenolic content reduction, which indicated the inhibition of conversion of phenolics to lignin ( Lwin, Srilaong, Boonyaritthongchai, Wongs-Aree, & Pongprasert, 2020 ). High total phenolic content in EAWP-treated spears reduced the biosynthesis of lignin during storage.…”

Exogenous Melatonin Reduces Lignification and Retains Quality of Green Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.)

“…Nevertheless, there was no significant difference between the H 2 O 2 content of 1.0 MLT and 2.0 MLT at any time point during storage, thus indicating that melatonin treatment reduces the rate of generation of H 2 O 2 . According to Lwin et al [ 6 ], H 2 O 2 is involved in chlorophyll bleaching when catalyzed by POD at the proper concentration of phenols. Therefore, a lower H 2 O 2 content reduces chlorophyll degradation and delays quality deterioration.…”

“…Texture is an important freshness indicator of asparagus spears and is related to their freshness. After harvesting, the firmness of asparagus increases being a general behavior of asparagus, followed by wrinkling, toughening, and hardening of the spears due to lignification [ 6 ]. Lignification is attributed to secondary cell wall formation following the upregulation of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin biosynthesis-related activities of enzymes such as phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD) [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Lignification is attributed to secondary cell wall formation following the upregulation of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin biosynthesis-related activities of enzymes such as phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and peroxidase (POD) [ 6 , 7 ]. Various approaches to improving asparagus quality and extending its shelf life have been investigated, including cultivar development [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], agronomic management [ 10 ], post-harvest treatment [ 1 , 12 , 13 , 14 ], and improved packaging technology [ 3 , 15 ].…”

Increasing Lignification in Translucent Disorder Aril of Mangosteen Related to the ROS Defensive Function

“…e supportive evidence was shown by approximately 100% higher of the high reducing power ability (Figure 4(c)) and potent inhibition of DPPH scavenging in healthy aril (Figure 4(d)). Abiotic stresses inducing antioxidant systems' defensive mechanisms through redox-reaction via ROS metabolism were reported in some field crops [14,15] and horticultural crops [12,34]. We propose the comparative routes of ROS generation and the defensive mechanism, taking place in the healthy and translucent disorder of ripe mangosteen arils in Figure 5.…”
