The application of natural antibrowning agents for fresh-cut products has been recently considered. This study manifested the efficiency of coconut liquid endosperm, coconut water (CW), from mature tall (cooking) coconut (C-CW) and yellow dwarf coconut (Y-CW) on browning inhibition of 'Gala' apple wedges during storage at 4 ± 1 °C for 9 days. The apple wedges were immersed in water (control), C-CW or Y-CW for 1 min. The visual appearance, superficial colour attributes, browning pigment concentration, total phenols concentration, polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activity and reducing antioxidant capacity of apple wedges were monitored. Moreover, antioxidant activity of both C-CW and Y-CW was also observed. Antioxidant activity of Y-CW was higher than that of C-CW. Both of the CW immersions maintained visual appearance, whiteness and lightness values as well as delayed the increased yellowness and brownness values of hypanthium (flesh) and mesocarp (core) of apple wedges. The browning pigment concentration and PPO activity were obviously lowered by both CW immersions. Total phenols concentration and antioxidant activity of C-CW and Y-CW immersed apple wedges were higher than those of control samples. In conclusion, both of the mature coconut liquid endosperms are feasible natural agent inhibiting browning incidence of fresh-cut fruits during storage.

Introduction: Clinical assessment in emergency departments (EDs) for possible acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requires at least one cardiac troponin (cTn) blood test. The turn-around time from blood draw to posting results in the clinical portal for central laboratory analysers is ~1-2 hours. New generation, high-sensitivity, point-of-care cardiac troponin I (POC-cTnI) assays use whole blood on a bedside (or near bedside) analyser that provides a rapid (8 min) result.

Thermostable clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas9) enzymes could improve genome-editing efficiency and delivery due to extended protein lifetimes. However, initial experimentation demonstrated Geobacillus stearothermophilus Cas9 (GeoCas9) to be virtually inactive when used in cultured human cells. Laboratory-evolved variants of GeoCas9 overcome this natural limitation by acquiring mutations in the wedge (WED) domain that produce >100-fold-higher genome-editing levels.

Horticultural products tend to deteriorate during postharvest storage and processing. In this study, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were prepared from wood to investigate the effects of CNF treatment on the storage quality, aroma composition, and antioxidant system of fresh-cut apple (Malus domestica) wedges. Compared with control treatment, CNF coating treatment significantly improved the appearance of apple wedges; reduced the decay rate of apple wedges; and delayed the decline in weight loss, firmness, and titratable acid during storage.
