Proteins isolated from Ganxet common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) landrace: techno-functional and antioxidant properties
(Wiley, 2021-06-15)
Ganxet protein isolates (GPI) were assessed for antioxidant and functional properties including emulsifying and foaming capacity. The protein content and water activity (aw) value of GPI were 91.08 ± ...
Natural plant extracts as inhibitors of potato polyphenol oxidase: The green tea case study
(Elsevier, 2021-09-18)
Natural plant extracts have emerged as a potential alternative to sulphites in minimally processed potatoes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory capacity of various plant extracts on ...
Unravelling the cold-induced regulation of ethylene and α-farnesene and its involvement with the development of scald-like disorders in different pear cultivars
(Elsevier, 2020-12-26)
To better understand the cold-induced regulation of scald-like disorders in pears and the specific roles played by ethylene and α-farnesene, three pear cultivars with different patterns of ethylene ...
PbSRT1 and PbSRT2 regulate pear growth and ripening yet displaying a species-specific regulation in comparison to other Rosaceae spp.
(Elsevier, 2021-05-01)
Epigenetic regulation is crucial to ensure a coordinated control of the different events that occur during fruit development and ripening. Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases involved in ...
Non-volatile signals and redox mechanisms are required for the responses of Arabidopsis roots to Pseudomonas oryzihabitans
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-24)
Soil bacteria promote plant growth and protect against environmental stresses, but the mechanisms involved remain poorly characterized, particularly when there is no direct contact between the roots and ...
Changes in Ripening-Related Quality Traits of Long Shelf Life Tomatoes as Influenced by Water Deficit and Short-Term Postharvest Storage
(MDPI, 2021-11-15)
The diversity preserved within the European long shelf life tomato landraces (LSL) is a unique source to design high quality tomato products better adapted to changing environmental conditions and, ...
Validation of a Warning System to Control Brown Rot in Peach and Nectarine
(MDPI, 2023-01-14)
Monilinia spp. is the main pathogen that affects stone fruit, causing significant production
losses, especially in seasons with favorable climatic conditions for disease development. Currently,
the ...
Performance of an Expert Sensory Panel and Instrumental Measures for Assessing Eating Fruit Quality Attributes in a Pear Breeding Programme
(MDPI, 2023-03-27)
Breeding programmes count on stable trained panels that support breeding evaluation
selections. This work aimed to evaluate the performance of a small expert panel in the join IRTA-PFR
breeding programme ...
Development of added-value culinary ingredients from fish waste: Fish bones and fish scales
(Elsevier, 2022-12-23)
Around 10% of the global fish catch (>90 million tonnes) is currently discarded, while by-products in fisheries account for up to 70% of the whole fish weight. From these, fish bones and scales represent ...
Impact of Postharvest Handling on Preharvest Latent Infections Caused by Monilinia spp. in Nectarines
(MDPI, 2020-11-04)
Latent infections caused by Monilinia spp. in nectarines cause great economic losses since they are not detected and rejected at harvest and can appear at any time post-harvest, even at the consumer’s ...
