Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 147: Genome-Wide Identification of the IQM Gene Family and Their Transcriptional Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Kiwifruit (Actinidia eriantha)
Xin Zhang IQM is a plant-specific calcium-binding protein that plays a pivotal role in various aspects of plant growth response to stressors. We investigated the IQM gene family and its expression patterns under diverse abiotic stresses and conducted a comprehensive analysis and characterization of the AeIQMs, including protein structure, genomic location, phylogenetic relationships, gene expression profiles, salt tolerance, and expression patterns of this gene family under different abiotic stresses. Based on phylogenetic analysis, these 10 AeIQMs were classified into three distinct subfamilies (I-III). Analysis of th...

Effect of partial substitution of wheat flour with kiwi starch on dough rheology, microstructure, the quality attributes and shelf life of Chinese steamed bread
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Dec 22;258(Pt 1):128920. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128920. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChinese steamed bread (CSB), a conventional high-GI staple food, with a short shelf life and a single flavor. In this work, 10-20 % kiwi starch (KS) was used to substitute wheat flour for the production of CSB and the effects of different substitution ratios on the quality and shelf life of mixed flour, dough, and CSB were explored. The results showed that the substitution of KS could improve the water binding capacity of mixed flour and lead to easier pasting in the system, lower the cooking power consumpt...

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 32: Application of Cyclocarya paliurus & ndash;Kiwifruit Composite Fermented to Enhance Antioxidant Capacity, Flavor, and Sensory Characteristics of Kiwi Wine
In this study, the changes in bioactive substances during the C. paliurus–kiwi winemaking process were analyzed on the basis of response surface optimization results, and the antioxidant capacity, aromatic compounds, and sensory quality of the C. paliurus–kiwi composite wine with kiwi wine and two commercial kiwi wines were compared. The results showed that DPPH radical, OH− radical, and ABTS+ scavenging rates remained at over 60.0%, 90.0%, and 70.0% in C. paliurus–kiwi wine, respectively. The total flavonoid content (TFC) and total polyphenol content (TPC) of C. pali...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 8126: An Overview of Heterogeneous Catalysts Based on Hypercrosslinked Polystyrene for the Synthesis and Transformation of Platform Chemicals Derived from Biomass
Kiwi-Minsker Platform chemicals, also known as chemical building blocks, are substances that serve as starting materials for the synthesis of various value-added products, which find a wide range of applications. These chemicals are the key ingredients for many fine and specialty chemicals. Most of the transformations of platform chemicals are catalytic processes, which should meet the requirements of sustainable chemistry: to be not toxic for humans, to be safe for the environment, and to allow multiple reuses of catalytic materials. This paper presents an overview of a new class of heterogeneous catalysts based o...

Smartphone survey data reveals the timecourse of changes in mood outcomes following vitamin C or kiwifruit intervention in adults with low vitamin C
This study utilised intensive longitudinal smartphone surveys from a three-armed placebo-controlled trial to determine mood-related changes following supplementation with vitamin C (250 mg tablet/day), kiwifruit (2 SunGold™ kiwifruit/day), or a placebo (1 tablet/day). Secondary data was analysed from the KiwiC for Vitality trial (Trial ID: ACTRN12617001031358). Adults (n = 155, 63% female, aged 18-35) with low plasma vitamin C (<40 μmol/L) completed a 14-day lead-in, 28-day intervention, and 14-day washout. Participants self-reported vitality (SF-36), mood (POMS Total Mood Disturbance), flourishing (Flourishing Scale...
