Journal ArticleDOI
Modified thiobarbituric acid assay for measuring lipid oxidation in sugar-rich plant tissue extracts
Zhanyuan Du,William J. Bramlage +1 more
TL;DR: The use of the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay for TBARS of lipid oxidation in extracts of plant materials was examined in this article, where a modified procedure was developed using standard curves for both malondialdehyde (MDA) and sucrose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peroxidative Activity of Apple Peel in Relation to Development of Poststorage Disorders
Zhanyuan Du,William J. Bramlage +1 more
TL;DR: Zimmerman et al. as discussed by the authors identified traumatin, a wound hormone, as 12-oxo-trans-10-dodecenoic acid, and showed that it is a new product of linoleic acid oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superoxide Dismutase Activities in Senescing Apple Fruit (Malus domestica Borkh.)
Zhanyuan Du,William J. Bramlage +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and individual activities of three different metalloenzymes, i.e., CuZn-SOD, Fe SOD, and Mn SOD during the senescence of apples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roles of Ethylene in the Development of Superficial Scald in 'Cortland' Apples
Zhanyuan Du,William J. Bramlage +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, ethephon and diphenylamine (DPA) were used to examine the role of ethylene production in biochemical changes that precede development of superficial scald on 'Cortland' apples after cold storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Modified Hypothesis on the Role of Conjugated Trienes in Superficial Scald Development on Stored Apples
Zhanyuan Du,William J. Bramlage +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, three experiments were conducted using 'Cortland' and 'Delicious' apples (Malus domestica Borkh) to evaluate α- farnesene and conjugated triene (CT) relationships to scald development.
