Real-time reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is an important tool for gene expression analysis. Suitable reference genes are the basis of accurate and reliable RT-qPCR results. Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) a commercially tropical subtropical fruit, but rapid pericarp browning substantial negative impact on its commercial use. Reference validation could help in screening involve...

This study was conducted to increase the bioactivity of litchi pericarp polysaccharides (LPPs) biotransformed by Aspergillus awamori. Compared to the non-A. awamori-fermented LPP, the growth effects of A. awamori-fermented LPP on Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus were four and two times higher after 3 days of fermentation, respectively. Increased 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydra...

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn. cv. Huaizhi) fruit were stored at ambient temperature (20–25°C) for up to 7 days and at 4°C for up to 35 days for separation, purification and identification of individual phenolic compounds and investigation of their changes during postharvest storage. Results indicate that flavan-3-ol monomers and dimers were major phenolic compounds representing about 87.0% of ...

Among the panoply of food products, honey has been used since prehistoric times as an effective healing, antiseptic, antioxidant and antibacterial therapy. The present research aimed to investigate erstwhile undocumented litchi honey samples from Bangladesh, for its antioxidant and physico-chemical parameters that may increase knowledge of product quality in a given geographic area, as well as ...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) pericarp is a major byproduct which contains a significant amount of polyphenol. This study was designed to biotransformation litchi pericarp extract (LPE) by Aspergillus awamori to produce more bioactive compounds with stronger antioxidant activities. RESULTS The study exhibited that the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging...

In litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonner.) orchards of northern India, imbalanced nutrient applications and poor soil health status are the major constraints for lower orchard efficiency fruit productivity. Soil leaf indexing considered supportive tools to recognize nutritional assess relationship between nutrients, yield quality attributes. Hence a multi-location study was carried out at Hoshiarpur ...

The present study deals with the investigation of erstwhile undocumented fifty four samples of West Bengal honey from ten different floral origins sesame (Sesamum indicum), hizal (Barringtonia acutangula), mustard (Brassica spp.), drumstick (Moringa oleifera), litchi (Litchi chinensis), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.), karanza (Pongamia glabra), khalsi (Aegiceras corniculatum), goran (Ceriops deca...

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is an important subtropical evergreen fruit crop of Sapindaceae family. Fruit cracking a serious problem in litchi happen during growth and its development. affect significant loss economic yield. coincides with period characterized by high day temperature (35-40°C) low relative humidity (60%). Effect water sprinkling over tree canopy on cracking, quality yield w...
