Lactones are cyclic esters of hydroxy carboxylic acids, present in several fruits and animals consumed by humans. There is evidence that some lactones modify insect behavior. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the repellent effect of four lactones (γ- and δ-nonalactone, and γ- and δ-dodecalactone) in first instar nymphs of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (Linnaeus). To assess repellency, a nymph was placed on a circle of filter paper, half of which had been treated with lactone dissolved in acetone and the other half with acetone alone...

BACKGROUND: Healthy diets and physical exercise, two modifiable lifestyle factors, are protective against depression in older adults. This study aimed to investigate whether physical exercise may influence the associations of dietary habits with depression in Chinese community-dwelling older adults.

Dimethoate (DIM) as an organophosphorus pesticide is widely utilized especially in the cultivation of vegetables and fruits due to its killing effect on harmful insects. However, unconscious use of DIM in large amounts can also cause serious health problems. For these reasons, rapid and reliable detection of DIM from food samples is significant. In this study, a novel quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor based on erbium molybdate incorporating sulfur-doped graphitic carbon nitride (EM/S-g-C3 N4 ) and a molecularly imprinting polymer (MIP) was designed for DIM detection in apple juice samples...

The primary challenges in fruit and vegetable preservation include extending storage duration while preserving sensory quality and nutritional value. In this study, sesbania gum (SG) was oxidized to prepare oxidized sesbania gum (OSG). An OSG/ZnO composite film was subsequently prepared, combining OSG, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and nano-zinc oxide (nano-ZnO). The preparation technology was determined via a response surface optimization experiment. When the addition amount of nano-ZnO exceeded 0...

To precise screening concentration of ascorbic acid (AA), a novel electrochemical sensor was prepared using palladium nanoparticles decorated on nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dot modified glassy carbon electrode (PdNPs@N-GQD/GCE). For this purpose, nitrogen doped GQD nanoparticles (N-GQD) were synthesized from a citric acid condensation reaction in the presence of ethylenediamine and subsequently modified by palladium nanoparticles (PdNPs). The electrochemical behavior of AA was investigated, in which the oxidation peak appeared at 0 V related to the AA oxidation...

The importance of melon aroma in determining fruit quality has been highlighted in recent years. The fruit volatile profile is influenced by the type of fruit ripening. Non-climacteric fruits contain predominantly aldehydes, while climacteric fruits mainly produce esters. Several genes have been described to participate in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) biosynthesis pathways, but knowledge in this area is still incomplete. In this work we analysed the volatile profile of two reciprocal Introgression Line (IL) collections generated from a cross between 'Piel de Sapo' (PS) and 'Védrantais' (VED) melons, differing in their aroma profile and ripening behaviour...

In fruits, cuticular waxes affect fruit quality traits such as surface color at harvest and water loss during postharvest storage. This study investigated the transcriptional regulation of cuticular wax deposition in northern highbush blueberries ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) in relation to fruit water loss and surface color during ripening and postharvest storage, as well as the effects of abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated changes in cuticular wax deposition on these fruit quality traits. Total cuticular wax content (μg∙cm-2 ) decreased during fruit ripening and increased during postharvest storage...

Citric acid gives lemons their unique flavor, which impacts their sensory traits and market value. However, the intricate process of citric acid accumulation during lemon fruit growth remains incompletely understood. Here, we achieved a chromosomal-level genome assembly for the 'Xiangshui' lemon variety, spanning 364.85 Mb across nine chromosomes. This assembly revealed 27 945 genes and 51.37% repetitive sequences, tracing the divergence from citron 2.85 million years ago. DNA methylome analysis of lemon fruits across different developmental stages revealed significant variations in DNA methylation...

Jujube ( Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is the most economically important fruit tree of the Rhamnaceae and was domesticated from wild or sour jujube ( Z. jujuba Mill. var. spinosa Hu). During the process of domestication, there was a substantial reduction in the content of organic acids, particularly malate and citrate, which greatly influence the taste and nutritional value of the fruit. We previously demonstrated that ZjALMT4 is crucial for malate accumulation. However, the mechanism of citrate degradation in jujube remains poorly understood...

The existence of multiple pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables constitutes a direct peril to living organisms. Therefore, it is crucial to develop a low-cost screening method for determining organophosphate pesticides (OPPs) in food samples. This study describes the solvothermal synthesis of a ternary composite comprising multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), zirconium oxide, and a zirconium-metal-organic framework (Zr-MOF). The ternary composite was characterised using XRD, FESEM, FTIR, and BET. The ternary composite provides a large surface area (1158 m2 /g) compared with the pristine Zr-MOF (868 m2 /g)...

Flavanones, a type of polyphenol, are found in substantial amounts in citrus fruits. When high- or moderate-dose orange juice consumption occurs, flavanones make up a significant portion of the total polyphenols in plasma. Disaccharide derivative narirutin, mainly dihydroxy flavanone, is found in citrus fruits. The substantial chemotherapeutic potential of narirutin has been amply demonstrated by numerous experimental studies. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to compile the research that has already been done showing narirutin to be a promising anticancer drug, with its mechanism of action being documented in treatment plans for various cancer forms...

Numerous natural products found in our diet, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, can prevent the progression of cancer. Luteolin, a natural flavone, present in significant amounts in various fruits and vegetables plays a key role as a chemopreventive agent in treating various types of cancer. By inducing apoptosis, initiating cell cycle arrest, and decreasing angiogenesis, metastasis, and cell proliferation, luteolin is used to treat cancer. Its anticancer properties are attributed to its capability to engage with multiple molecular targeted sites and modify various signaling pathways in tumor cells...

Diet is a modifiable risk factor in the prevention and management of obesity, and various foods have the potential to aid in obesity management by modulating different pathways involved in the disease's pathology. We performed a systematic review of literature, using CINAHL, PubMed, and Google Scholar, focusing on the antiobesity potential of foods crops and functional food products, and their mechanisms of action and clinical evidence. Sixty-four articles were identified, of which 41 investigated food crops, while 23 investigated functional products...
