“…However, its economic importance lies mainly in its fruit, the guava, a juicy berry with numerous seeds and a slightly acid taste. Its shape and color depend on the variety, so we can find guavas from yellow to bright pink and round, ovoid, or pear-shaped ( 2 ). The morphological characteristics of P. guajava L. are illustrated in Figure 1 .…”

Mexico is one of the largest guava producers in the world, so it has access to a huge amount of waste and byproducts obtained after the industrial processing of the fruit. This review discusses the potential recovery of this residue for its application as an antimicrobial agent, considering the phytochemical composition, the bioactivity reported in-vivo and in-vitro, and the toxicology of the plant. Nowadays there is a growing demand for more natural and safer products, so the use of guava extracts is an interesting initiative, especially due to its availability in the country, its wide variety of traditional uses, and its phytochemical profile. This review highlights the importance and potential antimicrobial use of this plant in today's world.

A data fusion strategy based on hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and electronic nose (e‐nose) systems was developed in this study to inspect the postharvest ripening process of Hayward kiwifruit. The extracted features from the e‐nose and HSI techniques, in single or combined mode, were used to develop machine learning algorithms. Performance evaluations proved that the fusion of olfactory and reflectance data improves the performance of discriminative and predictive algorithms. Accordingly, with high classification accuracies of 100% and 94.44% in the calibration and test stages, the data fusion‐based support vector machine (SVM) outperformed the partial least square discriminant analysis (PLSDA) for discriminating the kiwifruit samples into eight classes based on storage time. Moreover, the data fusion‐based support vector regression (SVR) was a better predictor than partial least squares regression (PLSR) for kiwifruit firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), and titratable acidity (TA) measures. The prediction R2 and RMSE criteria of the SVR algorithm on the test data were 0.962 and 0.408 for firmness, 0.964 and 0.337 for SSC, and 0.955 and 0.039 for TA, respectively. It was concluded that the hybrid of e‐nose and HSI systems coupled with the SVM algorithm delivers an effective tool for accurate and nondestructive monitoring of kiwifruit quality during storage.

“…Latex of g is useful to milk coagulation and can be used as lipid-lowering drug due to the presence of triterpenoid 24 . It is considered a restorative natural material that helps in quick recovery after prolonged illness 25 . Due to their antimicrobial activities, less toxicity, and their availability, the g latex represent as a remedy for several health disorder complications 26 .…”

Impaired wound healing is one of the most critical complications associated with diabetes mellitus. Hence, novel and more effective natural therapeutic antibacterial agents are urgently needed and should be developed against the pathogenic bacteria inhabiting the diabetic wounds. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the impact of fig latex on the pathogenic bacteria and its ability to promote the healing process of diabetic wounds. The pathogenic bacteria were isolated from patients with diabetic wounds admitted at Assiut University hospital. Fig latex was collected from trees in Assiut regions, and its chemical compositions were analyzed using GC-MS. The anti-bacterial efficacy of the fig latex was assessed on the isolated bacteria. In vivo study to investigate the effect of fig latex on the diabetic wound healing was monitored using three mice groups: non-diabetic control, diabetic and diabetic treated with fig latex. The influence of fig latex on the expression levels of β-defensin-1, collagen formation, PECAM-1, CCL2 and ZO-1 were investigated. The GC-MS analysis demonstrated the presence of triterpenoids with more than 90% of total latex content. Furthermore, using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice model, topical treatment of diabetic wounded tissues with fig latex accelerated and improved the wound closure through increasing the expression levels of β-defensin-1, collagen, and PECAM-1 as compared to untreated diabetic wounds. Additionally, fig latex down-regulated the expression levels of ZO-1 and CCL2.
