Unlocking the potential of persimmons: A comprehensive review on emerging technologies for post-harvest challenges, processing innovations, and prospective applications.

Persimmons are widely acknowledged as a valuable source of both medicinal and nutritional components, providing a diverse spectrum of nutrients and phytochemicals. Despite these benefits, biases against persimmons persists due to their characteristic astringent flavor that sets them apart from other fruits. Although several studies have explored various aspects of persimmons, a comprehensive review that addresses post-harvest challenges, processing innovations, and potential applications is notably absent in the literature.

Inhibitory mechanism of quercetin on .

In this the antibacterial of quercetin against was evaluated by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). Subsequently, the effect of quercetin on cell membrane was evaluated through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface hydrophobicity determination, diacetate fluorescein staining and propidium iodide (PI) staining. Additionally, the effects of quercetin on intracellular macromolecules and cell metabolism were explored by measuring the culture medium protein, bacterial protein and intracellular sodium and potassium adenosine triphosphate (ATP) enzyme activity.
