Shelf life extension of fresh asparagus using modified atmosphere packaging and vacuum skin packaging in microwavable tray systems
This study was to evaluate the packing technology using modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and vacuum skin packaging (VSP) to extend the shelf life of fresh asparagus in a microwaveable package as a ready ‐to‐eat product. It was found that the shelf life of asparagus could be extended up to 2 weeks for both the MAP and VSP technologies. Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is one of the most popular vegetables because it contains a wealth of fiber and several essential nutrients. It is a very perishable commodity due to its very high respiration rate. To maintain product quality and to satisfy consumer demand as a con...

GSE149730 The asparagus genome sheds light on the origin and evolution of a young Y chromosome
Contributor : Alex HarkessSeries Type : Non-coding RNA profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Asparagus officinalisSex chromosomes evolved from autosomes many times across the eukaryote phylogeny. Several models have been proposed to explain this transition, some involving male and female sterility mutations linked in a region of suppressed recombination between X and Y (or Z/W, U/V) chromosomes. Comparative and experimental analysis of a reference genome assembly for a double haploid YY male garden asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) individual implicates separate but linked genes as responsible for...

Crossing the Border: From Keto- to Imine Reduction in Short-Chain Dehydrogenases/Reductases.
Abstract
The family of NAD(P)H-dependent short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) comprises numerous biocatalysts capable of C=O or C=C reduction. The highly homologous noroxomaritidine reductase (NR) and Zt_SDR, however, are SDRs with an extended imine substrate scope. Comparison with a similar SDR from Asparagus officinalis (Ao_SDR) exhibiting keto-reducing activity, yet negligible imine-reducing capability, and mining of the Short-Chain Dehydrogenase/Reductase Engineering Database indicated that NR and Zt_SDR possess a unique active site composition among SDRs. Adapting the active site of Ao_SDR acc...

Biogenic Synthesis of Carbon-Based Micro Composites from Mushroom (Asparagus Disporus)
Publication date: 2020Source: Materials Today: Proceedings, Volume 21, Part 4Author(s): Ankush Parmar, Panchali Barman, Gurpreet Kaur, Avneet Saini, Shweta SharmaAbstractThe biogenic synthesis of carbon micro composites (CMCs) using a simple chemical method was accomplished by assorting mushroom (Asparagus Disporus) as the organic precursor. Synthesized CMCs ensued the good yield of 0.425 g. The resulted product was characterized using CHN (O) elemental analysis displaying the carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen content as 63.57%, 0.861%, and 0.304%, respectively. FT-IR spectrum clearly displayed C=O, C-N, O-H and C≡N stretch....

Enhancing the antityrosinase activity of saponins and polyphenols from Asparagus by hot air coupled with microwave treatments
Publication date: Available online 18 February 2020Source: LWTAuthor(s): Qun Yu, Jiajing Duan, Nan Yu, Liuping FanAbstractThe impact of heating treatments on antityrosinase capacities of polyphenols (quercetin, cinnamic acid, ferulic acid) and saponins (protodioscin and dioscin) from Asparagus was evaluated. Upon microwave heating (700 W for 20 min) with hot-air heating (120 °C for 30 min), the addition of protodioscin and dioscin significantly enhanced the antityrosinase capacities due to the deglycosylation. The analysis of fluorescence spectroscopy showed that combined heating increased the affinity between tyr...

Ultrasound and heating treatments improve the antityrosinase ability of polyphenols
Publication date: Available online 14 February 2020Source: Food ChemistryAuthor(s): Qun Yu, Liuping Fan, Jiajing Duan, Nan Yu, Na Li, Qingqing Zhu, Nana WangAbstractThis paper focused on improving antityrosinase ability of quercetin, cinnamic acid, and ferulic acid (named Q-CA-FA) from Asparagus by combining heating with ultrasound treatments. Fluorescence spectroscopy and UPLC-MS were used to evaluate inhibitory mechanisms. Results showed that the impacts of combining heating (150°C for 30 min) with ultrasound (600 W for 30 min) treatments was similar to heating treatment (150°C for 120 min) alone, and the inhibition ra...

Preparation of 2,6-diurea-chitosan oligosaccharide derivatives for efficient antifungal and antioxidant activities
In this study, 2-urea-chitosan oligosaccharide derivatives (2-urea-COS derivatives) and 2,6-diurea-chitosan oligosaccharide derivatives (2,6-diurea-COS derivatives) were successfully designed and synthesized via intermediate 2-methoxyformylated chitosan oligosaccharide. All samples were characterized and compared based on FT-IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The antifungal effects of COS derivatives were tested against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum, Phomopsis asparagus, and Botrytis cinereal. Their antioxidant properties, including superoxide radicals’ scavenging activity, hydroxyl radicals’ scavengin...
