TL;DR: The aim of this work is to give an overview on the application of natural compounds, such as hexanal, 2-(E)-hexenal, hexyl acetate and citrus essential oils, to improve the shelf-life and the safety of minimally processed fruits as well as their mechanisms of action.

TL;DR: Experimental support is provided to the hypothesis that the increase of an oxygen-consuming desaturase system, with a consequent increase in fatty acid desaturation, is a cellular response to environmental stresses able to protect the cells of this anaerobic micro-organism from toxic oxygen species and high temperatures.

TL;DR: Results evidenced that some Y. lipolytica strains are good candidates for the reduction of the pollution potential of OMW and for the production of enzymes and metabolites such as lipase and citric acid.

TL;DR: The results obtained indicated that the most effective essences were characterized by the highest concentration of some terpenes, such as citral, beta-pinene, and p-cymene, which were more bioactive when added directly to the liquid medium.

TL;DR: The hypothesis formulated in this work is that the interaction of high pressure homogenization and lysozyme or lactoperoxidase is associated to conformational modifications of the two proteins with a consequent enhancement of their activity.
