Modification of pectin polysaccharides during ripening of postharvest banana fruit
Xuewu Duan,Guiping Cheng,En Yang,Chun Yi,Neungnapa Ruenroengklin,Wangjin Lu,Yunbo Luo,Yueming Jiang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, water-soluble pectin (WSP) and acid-salinearpectin(ASP) fractions were isolated from pulp tissues of banana fruit at various ripening stages and their compositions, glycosyl linkages and molecular mass distributions were evaluated.

Changes in antioxidant capacity during development and ripening of goldenberry (Physalis peruviana L.) fruit and in response to 1-methylcyclopropene treatment
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP, 0.2μL −L −1 ), a blocker of the ethylene receptor, and ethylene (2000μL L −1 Ethrel) were tested to elucidate the role of ethylene on the antioxidant capacity of this fruit during ripening and storage.

Different responses of goldenberry fruit treated at four maturity stages with the ethylene antagonist 1-methylcyclopropene
María Soledad Gutierrez,Gustavo D Trinchero,Ana M. Cerri,Fernando Vilella,Gabriel O. Sozzi,Gabriel O. Sozzi +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) was applied to goldenberries at different maturity stages: immature green (IG), mature green (MG), yellow (Y), and orange (OR).

Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.)
TL;DR: The Solanaceae species cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) is native to Peru, and forms its fruit in an inflated calyx (husk). Both calyx and skin color are synchronous and can be used to indicate maturity as mentioned in this paper.

Statistical Procedures for Agricultural Research
TL;DR: This paper presents the results of a series of experiments conducted in farmers' fields in the Czech Republic over a period of three years to investigate the effects of agricultural pesticides on animal welfare and human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
A photometric adaptation of the somogyi method for the determination of glucose
TL;DR: In this paper, the reliability of the various Somogyi-Shaffer-Hartmann (SHH) copper reagents for glucose determination in biological material has been established, which can be accomplished by omission of the iodide and iodate in their preparation, since these interfere with the molybdate color reagents.
Journal ArticleDOI
New method for quantitative determination of uronic acids
TL;DR: A new method for determination of uronic acids with meta-hydroxydiphenyl is introduced, which is simpler, quicker, more sensitive, and more specific than other methods, and it needs lesser amounts of fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of cell wall hydrolases in fruit ripening
TL;DR: Pectinmethylesterase, a new type of pectin-like substance, is introduced into the cell wall through a process called “modification of Cell Wall Hydrolase Activity”.
