Effects of salicylic acid-grafted bamboo hemicellulose on gray mold control in blueberry fruit: The phenylpropanoid pathway and peel microbial community composition
In this study, based on the good inducer of salicylic acid (SA) for plant diseases resistance, a novel antibacterial coating material was synthesized by grafting SA onto HC. The study aimed to investigate the synergistic effect of HC-g-SA on antibacterial ability, induces diseases resistance and microbial community composition of postharvest fruit. The graft copolymer treatment significantly reduced the incidence of gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea in blueberries during storage (P < 0.05), and significantly stimulated the activity of key enzymes, including phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, chalcone isomerase, laccase, an...

Simultaneously realizing enhancement of sensitivity for freshness monitoring and multinomial properties of carrageenan/konjac glucomannan/blueberry anthocyanin-based intelligent film by diatomite
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Aug 7:126192. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126192. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHere, highly sensitive blueberry anthocyanin (BBA)-induced intelligent indicating films were fabricated by incorporating a novel composite ingredient, diatomite (DA), into a matrix of konjac glucomannan (KGM), carrageenan (CAR) and BBA. We systematically investigated the effects of introducing DA and BBA on the structure, physical properties, colorimetric response, and practical application of the KGM/CAR film. Our findings revealed that the DA particles and BBA were well-distributed in the KGM/CAR matrix through hydr...
