Atemoya is one of the most important commercial fruits of the family Annonaceae. The immature fruits of atemoya amply produced from a fruit-thinning process is normally regarded as waste and discarded. This research aimed at studying antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities of the essential oil (EO) isolated from the immature fruits to explore its potential application. The fruits were subjected to different drying methods: solar drying (SD), oven drying at 30°C (OD-30), and at 50°C (OD-50). The oven drying method gave a higher EO yield than the solar drying method. Spathulenol was the largest compound in the EO after the drying process. Antimicrobial effect was not affected by the different drying methods. Antioxidant activity of the EO was measured by DPPH, nitric oxide, and reducing power methods. The EOOD-50 exhibited a stronger antioxidant activity than EOSD and EOOD-30. The EO also showed an anti-inflammatory activity in a cell model.

Background: The melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Coquillett), is a significant pest of fruit and vegetable crops. In the physiological processes of insects, N-β-phenylalanine dopamine synthase (ebony) plays a crucial role in insect physiology, with its activity depending on the interaction between dopamine and β-alanine. However, our understanding of ebony's specific biological functions of in melon flies remains limited.

Introduction: Fruit color is a crucial quality factor strongly influencing consumer preference for citrus. The coloration of citrus fruit is primarily determined by carotenoids, which produce a range of hues. Gibberellic acid (GA) and ethylene are critical in fruit coloration during the ripening process.

Luohan Guo (Siraitia grosvenorii) is a traditional food homologous fruit in China, which is famous owing to its rich natural antioxidant secondary metabolites. However, the impacts of ripening stages and edible parts on high-resolution metabolic profiles of Luohan Guo are poorly understood till now, greatly limiting its comprehensive utilization. In this study, an LC-QTOF/MS-based non-targeted metabolomics approach was carried out to reveal the dynamic accumulation of metabolites in the peel and pulp of Luohan Guo across seven growth stages, and further revelation their potential pharmacological activities and mechanisms in the treatment of oxidative stress using the network pharmacology strategy.
