Characterization of prolycopene-accumulated Tan < sup > 406 < /sup > mutant of < em > Solanum lycopersicum < /em >
This study describes the characterization of the Tan406 (Tangerine406) mutant of Solanum lycopersicum. Fruits of Tan406-mutant plants have a unique orange color and accumulate prolycopene instead of lycopene. Genetic analysis revealed that a monogenic recessive mutation affects fruit pigmentation in the mutant, which inhibits the conversion of prolycopene to lycopene. Further, molecular analysis indicates that fruit phenotype is attributed to loss of CRTISO gene function, which encodes a carotenoid isomerase enzyme that converts prolycopene to lycopene. The loss of gene function is due to the deletion of 406 bp from the CR...

Preparation and characterization of corn starch-based antimicrobial indicator films containing purple corncob anthocyanin and tangerine peel essential oil for monitoring pork freshness
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Aug 12:126320. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126320. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA novel antibacterial indicator film was prepared by mixing corn starch with tangerine peel essential oil (TEO) Pickering emulsion emulsified by ultrasonic and esterified modified starch (UDSt), and then incorporated with purple corncob anthocyanin (PCA), which was used to monitor the freshness of pork. The results showed that the UDSt can effectively stabilize the TEO emulsion. PCA showed obvious color changes at different pH. With the increase of pH, the color of film changed from red to yellow, and its response to...

Molecules, Vol. 28, Pages 269: Nomilin and Its Analogues in Citrus Fruits: A Review of Its Health Promotion Effects and Potential Application in Medicine
hengjie Fan Nomilin is one of the major limonoids, which are plant secondary metabolites also known as tetranortriterpenoids. Nomilin is found mostly in common edible citrus fruits including lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, mandarins, along with traditional Chinese medicines derived from citrus fruits, such as tangerine seed, tangerine peel, fructus aurantii immaturus, etc. A number of studies have demonstrated that nomilin and its analogues exhibit a variety of biological and pharmacological activities. These include anti-cancer, immune-modulatory, anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-viral, anti-osteoclastogenic...
