Metabolomics approach for phenolic compounds profiling of soursop (Annona muricata L.) fruit during postharvest storage.

Introduction: Soursop (Annona muricata L.) is a crop with medicinal properties and numerous bioactive compounds. Ripening is a complex process that regulates fruit quality and changes in metabolite content, such as flavonoids, polyphenols, and organic acids.

Bacillus mojavensis enhances the antioxidant defense mechanism of soursop (Annona muricata L.) fruits during postharvest storage.

Rapid softening of soursop (Annona muricata L.) fruit results in postharvest losses. Bacillus genus is one of the most studied antagonistic biological control agents against postharvest diseases.

Transcriptome Analysis of Soursop ( L.) Fruit under Postharvest Storage Identifies Genes Families Involved in Ripening.

Soursop ( L.) is climacteric fruit with a short ripening period and postharvest shelf life, leading to a rapid softening. In this study, transcriptome analysis of soursop fruits was performed to identify key gene families involved in ripening under postharvest storage conditions (Day 0, Day 3 stored at 28 ± 2 °C, Day 6 at 28 ± 2 °C, Day 3 at 15 ± 2 °C, Day 6 at 15 ± 2 °C, Day 9 at 15 ± 2 °C).

Extracts, a Novel Source of Phenolic Compounds with Antibacterial Activity against Potentially Pathogenic Bacteria Isolated from White Shrimp.

This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity in vitro of and extracts against potentially pathogenic bacteria for Pacific white shrimp. Furthermore, the extracts with higher inhibitory activity were analyzed to identify compounds responsible for bacterial inhibition and evaluate their effect on motility and biofilm formation. and extracts were prepared using methanol, acetone, and hexane by ultrasound.

Growth Promoting Activity of L. Leaf Extracts on .

Soursop leaves are a source of phytochemical compounds, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, hydrolyzable tannins, and acetogenins. These compounds can have several types of biological activities. Lactic acid bacteria can uptake phenolic compounds present in plants or fruits.

Differential Responses of Antioxidative System during the Interaction of Soursop Fruits ( L.) and at Postharvest Storage.

Soursop fruit ( L.) production is diminished by the attack of pathogens such as . However, the fruit-pathogen interaction at the biochemical and molecular levels is still unknown.

Diversity of unavailable polysaccharides and dietary fiber in domesticated nopalito and cactus pear fruit (Opuntia spp.).

The aim of this study was to quantify mucilages, pectins, hemicelluloses, and cellulose of nopalitos (edible, as vegetable, young cladodes of flat-stemmed spiny cacti) of most consumed Mexican cultivars, and sweet and acid cactus pear fruits of Opuntia spp. The hypothesis is that, regardless of their unavailable polysaccharides diversity, nopalitos and cactus pear fruits are rich sources of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Twelve cultivars of Opuntia spp.
