- (-) is one of the most important postharvest pathogens leading to a postharvest loss of citrus by causing sour rot. In this study, the antifungal activity of -2-hexenal, a natural component of essential oil, against - was evaluated. -2-hexenal treatment inhibited the mycelia growth of - with a minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum fungicidal concentration of -2-hexenal at 0.50 and 1.00 μL/mL, respectively. Moreover, -2-hexenal efficiently reduced the incidence of sour rot of Satsuma fruit inoculated with -. Ultrastructural observations and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) results showed that -2-hexenal treatment affected the cell wall and cell membrane instructions of -. The content of -1,3-glucan was significantly decreased after -2-hexenal treatment, but the cell wall permeability was not changed. The decrease in lipid and ergosterol contents might be responsible for this antifungal activity. Several important genes, , , , and , showed decreasing expression levels after -2-hexenal treatment. Molecule-docking results also indicated that -2-hexenal could join with the protein of FKS1, ERG1, ERG7, and ERG11 to impact enzyme activities. These results demonstrated that -2-hexenal is a promising fungicide for controlling sour rot of harvested citrus fruit by damaging the membrane integrity of -

The regulation of reaction rate differentiation, catalytic precursor differentiation, and end-product differentiation during enzyme-mediated reactions within complex lipid systems is a key area of research in flavor regulation. A multilayer lipid oxidation model, utilizing Plaice bone oil (PBO), lipase, and lipoxygenase, was employed to investigate oxidation differences between various lipids and corresponding flavor formation patterns. Lipase treatment resulted in higher levels of non‑oxygenated volatile compounds and saturated aldehydes, whereas lipoxygenase treatment increased oxygenated compounds, particularly (E)-2-hexenal, 1-penten-3-one, and 2-pentylfuran.

The aim of this study was to explore the effect of periodical negative air ions (NAI) on the quality of 'Fuji' apple fruit after treatment at 0, 30, 60, and 90 min every 4 weeks. NAI for 60 min decreased weight loss, mitigated decay, and maintained hardness of the apple fruit during the 40 weeks of storage. Treatment of fruits with NAI for 60 min enhanced the apple defense ability against pathogens by maintaining the cell wall integrity and improving the related-enzyme activities as well as accumulation of total phenols and flavonoids.

Acute and chronic stress markedly affects behavior by triggering sympathetic nervous system activation and several hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal-dependent responses. Brain regions of the limbic system are responsible for the regulation of stress response, and different reports have demonstrated that their activity can be influenced by olfactory stimuli. Here we report that, in mice exposed to acute restraint stress, olfactory stimulation employing a combination of three odorants, i.
