In this work, apple purees from different particle concentration and verifying in size were reconstituted to investigate their impacts on rheological behaviors, optical properties and light interaction at 900-1650 nm. The optical scattering of different puree particle concentration varied more intensively than particle size. Based on Monte Carol simulation (MCX), the highest proportion of diffuse reflection energy and absorption were observed in 1050 nm and 1480 nm, respectively.

The optical absorption and scattering coefficients of μ and μ' decreased with increasing heating time. The specific μ' coefficients at 432 nm, 455 nm, 1183 nm and 1304 nm were related to particle structural changes.

The increase of absorption coefficient (μ) at around 482 nm and the decrease at around 675 nm were both observed in infected NF and GN during storage, indicating the accumulation of carotenoids and loss of chlorophyll. Particularly, the μ in NF varied more intensively than GN, but the limited differences of reduced scattering coefficient (μ') were detected while postharvest infection.

An increasing number of novel biomaterials have been applied in wound healing therapy. Creating beneficial environments and containing various bioactive molecules, hydrogel- and extracellular vesicle (EV)-based therapies have respectively emerged as effective approaches for wound healing. Moreover, the synergistic combination of these two components demonstrates more favorable outcomes in both chronic and acute wound healing.
