Fresh-cut lettuce has a short shelf-life due to enzymatic browning and oxidative senescence. The present study investigated effects of polysaccharide-based edible coatings (alginate, chitosan, and carrageenan) on enzymatic browning and antioxidant defense system of fresh-cut lettuces during cold storage (4°C) for 15 days. The results showed that three coatings could inhibit enzymatic browning through maintaining total phenolics (TP) content and decreasing polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) activities.

Food quality is a critical global issue, but there are few studies describe the quality assessment of SVF. In this study, the quality of SVF around a university in Kunming was evaluated, including the microbial quality, proximate composition, oil quality, and heavy metal content.

Article Synopsis
- PLC (Phospholipase C) is crucial for plant immunity and may enhance anthracnose resistance in bananas, a common postharvest disease.
- After treating banana samples with anthracnose spores, the experimental group showed faster degradation of fruit hardness and higher conductivity compared to the control group.
- Increased PLC activity, along with elevated levels of 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG) and phosphatidic acid (PA), along with higher PLC mRNA expression, indicates that PLC is involved in fruit ripening and could help combat anthracnose infection.
