Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan and oligochitosan enhance the resistance of peach fruit to brown rot.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the effects of chitosan and oligochitOSan on disease control and quality maintenance of peach fruit may be associated with their antioxidant property and the elicitation of defense responses in fruit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the occurrence of non-enzymatic browning during storage of citrus juice
TL;DR: In this article, it has been demonstrated that nonenzymatic browning was mainly due to carbonyl compounds formed from l -ascorbic acid degradation, and that 5-hydroxymethyl-furaldehyde (5-HMF) has been found to be unreactive in the browning process in citrus juices and its contribution to browning in this type of products is insignificant, if not negligible.

Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of konjac glucomannan-gellan gum blend films and their suitability for release of nisin incorporated therein
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and properties of dried blend films of konjac glucomannan and gellan gum prepared by a solvent-casting technique with different blending ratios of the two polymers have been studied by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transparence analysis, and strength tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure, molecular size and antitumor activities of polysaccharides from Poria cocos mycelia produced in fermenter
TL;DR: The results from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography, and 13 C NMR revealed that the three water-soluble polysaccharides (Pi-PCM0, Pi-PCMs1, and Pi-MCM2) were heteropolysaccharide mainly containing glucose, galactose, and mannose as mentioned in this paper.
