Soluble phenols and antioxidant activity in mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota) fruits in postharvest

Effect of One-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) on preservation of green walnut fruit and kernel traits

“…The application of 1-MCP may reduce the postharvest synthesis of phenolics through counteracting ethylene, and therefore would not be reversed by ClO 2 . The correlation between phenolic content and total anti-oxidative activity is different in different fruit, as is the relationship between storability of fruit and the fruit's TAA (Hoang et al 2011;Torres-Rodríguez et al 2011). …”

Chemical composition of crude oil from the seeds of pumpkin (Cucurbita spp.) and mamey sapota (Pouteria sapotaJacq.) grown in Yucatan, Mexico

“…(10559.73 t) (Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food [SALRFF], 2011). Mamey is a tropical species of the Sapotaceae family, native to Mexico and Central America (Torres-Rodrı´guez, Salinas-Moreno, Valle-Guadarrama, & Alia-Tejacal, 2011). This fruit is consumed fresh due to its organoleptic and nutritional characteristics (Saucedo, Martı´-nez, Cha´vez, & Herna´ndez, 2001).…”

“…sapota belongs to the climacteric type of fruit. During the ripeness process of climacteric fruit, four stages are defined according to the respiration rate and ethylene production (preclimacteric, climacteric rise, climacteric peak and postclimacteric) and changes in the chemical composition and texture of the flesh occurred throughout the whole process (Watada et al, 1984;Torres-Rodríguez et al, 2011).…”

“…The flesh of this fruit contains a high amount of total soluble phenolics (TSP), which diminish with ripening (Torres-Rodríguez et al, 2011). In TSP fraction, flavanols as catechin, epicatechin, gallocatechin, and catechin 3-O-gallate have been identified, in addition to gallic (Torres-Rodríguez et al, 2011;Ma et al, 2004), syringic, p-hydroxybenzoic, and p-coumaric acids (Yahia et al, 2011).…”
