Food quality and nutraceutical value of nine cultivars of mango (Mangifera indica L.) fruits grown in Mediterranean subtropical environment
2019
Mango (Mangifera indica L.) quality is strongly influenced by genotype but individuating the most appropriate harvesting time is essential to obtain high quality fruits. In this trial we studied the influences of the ripening stage at harvest (mature-ripe or green-ripe) on quality of ready to eat mango fruits from nine cultivars (Carrie, Keitt, Glenn, Manzanillo, Maya, Rosa, Osteen, Tommy Atkins and Kensington Pride) grown in the Mediterranean subtropical climate through physicochemical, nutraceutical, and sensory analysis. Our results show a large variability among the different observed genotypes and in dependence of the ripening stage at harvest. With the exception of Rosa, mature-ripe f…
Purification and characterization of an inducible p-coumaric acid decarboxylase from Lactobacillus plantarum
2006
Abstract Lactobacillus plantarum cells displayed substrate-inducible decarboxylase activities on p-coumaric and ferulic acids of 0.6 and 0.01 μmol min−1 mg−1, respectively. Activity in uninduced cells or corresponding cell extracts was undetectable (
