Melatonin treatment delays the softening of blueberry fruit by modulating cuticular wax metabolism and reducing cell wall degradation
Food Res Int. 2023 Nov;173(Pt 2):113357. doi: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113357. Epub 2023 Aug 6.ABSTRACTThe effects of postharvest melatonin (MT) treatment on cuticular wax and cell wall metabolism in blueberry fruit (Vaccinium spp.) were evaluated. The results revealed that MT treatment maintained the cuticular wax rod-like structure and delayed wax degradation. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis results revealed that MT application changed the cuticular wax composition in blueberries, and 25 metabolic components were screened. The metabolic regulation of wax quality in blueberry fruit may therefore be influen...

Development of biobased multifunctional films incorporated with essential oils@polydopamine nanocapsules for food preservation applications
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Sep 29:127161. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127161. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA novel multifunctional soy protein isolate-carboxymethyl cellulose (SPI-CMC) based nanocomposite film was successfully prepared by introducing the polydopamine encapsulated essential oils (EOs@PDA) nanocapsules for food packaging. The EOs@PDA nanocapsules possessed smooth spherical morphology with good dispersion, and the particle size was about 283 nm. The influence of EOs@PDA nanocapsules on the physical, chemical and biological properties of EOs@PDA/ SPI-CMC nanocomposite film was investigated. The EOs@PDA nanoca...

Exploring the potential of ume-derived proanthocyanidins: novel applications for blueberry preservation
Proanthocyanidins (PCs) extracted from ume have many well-known functional properties. The aim of this study was to explore a novel natural food preservative using ume plum pulp proanthocyanidins (UPPP). The crude product of PCs from ume plum was obtained by using ethanol as extraction solvent and ultrasonic-assisted extraction, and then the pure product of UPPP was obtained by purification with AB-8 resin. The bacteriostatic ability of UPPP and the freshness preservation effect on blueberry were analyzed. The results showed that UPPP had a high inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus (MIC of 1.563 mg/mL) and Escheric...

Effectiveness of SAMITAL ® for Management of Chemo/Radiotherapy-Induced Oral Mucositis in Patients with Cancer—a Systematic Review
AbstractPurpose of ReviewData from previous clinical trials indicate that SAMITAL ® significantly decreases the severity of chemo/radiotherapy-induced oral mucositis (OM) in both adult and pediatric patients undergoing treatment for a wide range of malignancies. However, there is a lack of reliable evidence-backed literature for the extensive use of SAMITAL® for the management of chemo/radiotherapy-induced OM in cancer patients. This systematic review aimed to compare the available data on the efficacy of SAMITAL® for the prevention and management of oral mucositis in patients undergoing chemo/radiotherapy.Recent Findin...

Control Effect and Mechanism of < em > Trichoderma asperellum < /em > TM11 against Blueberry Root Rot
Pol J Microbiol. 2023 Sep 20;72(3):325-337. doi: 10.33073/pjm-2023-034. eCollection 2023 Sep 1.ABSTRACTFusarium oxysporum is the primary pathogen of blueberry root rot; furthermore, we found that Fusarium commune can also cause root rot in blueberries. Trichoderma spp. is widely used to control plant diseases. We isolated Trichoderma asperellum (TM11) from blueberry rhizosphere soil to explore its control effect and mechanism on F. oxysporum and F. commune. We found that the inhibitory effects of TM11 volatiles and broth metabolites on F. oxysporum were significant, but only F. commune volatile metabolites had a significan...
