The effect of Tragacanth gum (T) coating containing (100, 500, and 1,000 mg/L) essential oil (S), Boiss. essential oil (Z), and (1,000 mg/L) sodium metabisulfite (M) on mushroom () enzymatic browning and postharvest quality was examined throughout 16 days of cold storage. Mushroom respiration rate, soluble solids content (SSC), percentage of open caps, and sensory quality as well as factors related to browning such polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), and peroxidase (POD) activities were figured out. The significant decrease in respiration rate, cap opening delay, and SSC enhancement was observed after treating mushrooms with TZ and TS. Moreover, TZ- and TS-treated mushrooms prevented enzymatic browning through inhibiting PPO and POD activities and increasing activity of PAL over the storing term. Additionally, the influence of TZ5 and TS5 (containing 500 mg/L essential oil) coatings was validated by sensory evaluation through protecting the overall quality of button mushrooms over the storage. Thus, Tragacanth coating enriched with essential oils might be an encouraging nomination for improving the modality of button mushroom and expanding its shelf life.

Ready-to-eat (RTE) abalones, scallops and oysters were prepared through a process of cooking, drying, vacuum packaging, and high-temperature sterilization, and were subjected to accelerated storage. Upon storage, the three RTE shellfishes all showed color deterioration, as indicated by darker color, decreased L* and W* values, and increased a* value. In contrast, the color deterioration of RTE oysters was more pronounced.

Alginate, a polysaccharide found in brown seaweeds, has regularly gained attention for its potential use as a source of bioactive compounds. However, it is structurally complex with a high molecular weight, limiting its application. Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS) are small, soluble fragments, making them more bioavailable.

Greening and enzymatic browning are important factors causing post-harvest losses in potatoes. Although they are two different biological processes, there are some common inhibitors between them. Whether there is a correlation between the two has yet to be studies.

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is among the most detrimental enzymes in processed plant foods, being responsible for enzymatic browning. To propose a "mild" alternative to traditional enzymatic inactivation methods, this study investigated the effect of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) on PPO inactivation and highlighted the role of different sugars on both inactivation and structural modification of this enzyme. Different model systems were prepared in phosphate buffer using a purified PPO either alone or added with glucose, fructose, sucrose, and trehalose at different concentrations.

In order to establish an efficient microbial transformation platform based on seaweed feedstocks, experiments were performed to isolate a salt-tolerant strain capable of producing alginate lyase and 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BDO). Its physiological and biochemical characteristics, carbon source utilization, and product synthesis capabilities were investigated, and then the process for co-producing alginate lyase and 2,3-BDO from Laminaria japonica was optimized. Results showed that the isolated strain was identified as Vibrio alginolyticus, which was capable of utilizing multiple carbon sources to produce alginate lyase and 2,3-BDO even in the presence of 5 % NaCl.
