Background: Owing to its high perishability, the market life of nectarine fruit is very short. Cold storage is a principal approach to limit post-harvest quality loss in nectarines. The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of postharvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on quality properties of nectarine fruit, specifically weight loss, firmness, phenolics and antioxidant activity, following cold storage and subsequent shelf life.

The study was conducted to determine the effects of salicylic acid applications on postharvest fruit quality in blackberries, the harvested fruit was immersed in salicylic acid solutions prepared at concentrations of 0.5, 1, and 1.

- Post-harvest losses result in significant food waste, making it essential to improve storage methods for fruits, such as using calcium chloride (CaCl) to extend their shelf life.
- The study examined the effects of different concentrations of CaCl (2%, 4%, and 6%) on the quality of stored strawberries over 15 days, analyzing factors like weight loss, decay rate, and bioactive compounds.
- Results showed that 6% CaCl treatment significantly reduced weight loss and decay, preserved bioactive compounds, and maintained the overall quality of strawberries better than the lower concentrations and the control group.
Article Synopsis
- High levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in post-menopausal women are linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD), as shown by studies in mice.
- Mice lacking FSH receptors displayed improved spatial memory, indicating that blocking FSH signaling can help prevent memory loss related to aging and AD-like pathology.
- The findings suggest that targeting FSH could be a potential strategy for preventing memory deficits in post-menopausal women.
