Coconut pericarp ( shell fiber mesocarp ) and endocarp )), the main by-product of coconut production, is often discarded causing serious environmental pollution. To make better use pericarp, extraction process polyphenols from (CM) carefully studied by screening seven solvent systems, optimizing assisted ultrasonic response surface methodology, comparing four Ultrasound, Homogenization, Ultraso...

The oil palm mesocarp contains an endogenous lipase which is strongly activated at low temperature. Lipase activity is thus very conveniently assayed by prior exposure of the fruits to low temperature. More than 100 oil palm samples from the germplasm collection of the Palm Oil Research Institute of Malaysia (now known as the Malaysian Palm Oil Board) were screened for non-esterified fatty acid...

Outbreaks of foodborne illness attributed to the consumption of Salmonella-tainted cantaloupe have occurred repeatedly, but understanding of the ecology of Salmonella on cantaloupe fruit surfaces is limited. We investigated the interactions between Salmonella enterica Poona, the plant pathogenic bacterium Erwinia tracheiphila, and cantaloupe fruit. Fruit surfaces were inoculated at the natural ...

A key strategy to improve fruit quality and consumer appeal in mangoes is breed trait improvements into new cultivars. There are several traits mango. Knowledge of the heritability relationship among these important for breeding success. This paper implements a linear mixed model analysis including paternal information 13 from mango cultivars planted across three environments assessed over seas...

In angiosperms, the ovary wall resumes growth after pollination through a balanced combination of cell division and cell expansion. The quantitative pattern of these events remains poorly known in fleshy fruits such as tomato (Solanum spp.), in which dramatic growth of the pericarp occurs together with endoreduplication. Here, this pattern is reported at the level of each of the cell layers or ...

1. Plastid and mitochondrial preparations were obtained by density-gradient centrifugation of homogenates made by gentle disintergration of avocado fruit mesocarp and cauliflower bud tissue. 2. The mitochondrial preparations had respiratory activity but did not incorporate [1-14C]acetate into fatty acids. 3. The plastid preparations incorporated [1--14C]acetate into the range of fatty acids fou...

The centre of origin of the oil palm is the tropical rain forest region of West Africa. It is considered to be the 200-300 kilometre wide coastal belt between Liberia and Mayumbe. The oil palm tree has remained the 'tree of life' of Yoruba land as well as of other parts of southern West Africa to which it is indigenous. The Yoruba are adept at spinning philosophical and poetical proverbs around...

Babassu is considered the largest native oil resource worldwide and occurs naturally in Brazil. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of babassu nut residues (epicarp, mesocarp and endocarp) for bioenergy use, especially for direct combustion and charcoal production. The material was collected in the rural area of the municipality of Sítio Novo do Tocantins, in the state of To...

MADS-box genes have been shown to play a role in the formation of fruits, both in Arabidopsis and in tomato. In peach, two C-class MADS-box genes have been isolated. Both of them are expressed during flower and mesocarp development. Here a detailed analysis of a gene that belongs to the PLENA subfamily of MADS-box genes is shown. The expression of this PLENA-like gene (PpPLENA) increases during...
