Impact of Phytosanitary Irradiation on Polar Antioxidants in Peels of ‘Granny Smith’ Apples
<p>The ‘Granny Smith’ apple (<em>Malus domestica Borkh</em>), known for its bright green peel and tart flavor, is a significant cultivar in the United States. Due to increasing limitations and restrictions on chemical fumigants and other treatments, ionizing radiation is gaining popularity as a …

Comparative Impacts of Irradiation on Antioxidant Compounds of Scalded and Non-scalded Skin of Granny Smith Apples
<p>Post-harvest Superficial scald affects the quality of Granny Smith Apples. Oxidative stress develops superficial scald with antioxidant systems mitigating the extent of this damage. This study evaluated the effects of gamma, X-ray, and electron beam irradiation on antioxidants – ascorbic acid, …

Effect of Low Dose Irradiation on Expression of Genes Involved in Ethylene Biosynthesis of 'Granny Smith' Apples
… browning that appears during or after storage of ‘Granny Smith’ apples. The mechanism for scald development is not fully understood, but it is hypothesized that scald formation is related to increased ethylene production. In apples, low dose irradiation induced ethylene reduction appears to be …

Comparison of Chlorophyll, Carotenoid, and Alpha-tocopherol in E-beam, Gamma, and X-ray Treated 'Granny Smith' Apples
<p>This study aimed to investigate the impact of phytosanitary radiation modality on the lipophilic antioxidants in peels of ‘Granny Smith’ apples. Freshly harvested ‘Granny Smith’ apples were treated with gamma (0.2 kGy), X-ray (0.495 kGy), and e-beam (0.77 kGy) radiation and stored in air at 1 ⁰C …

Exploring the genetic mechanisms underlying superficial scald development and prevention in apple fruit during postharvest storage.
Apple is one of the most valuable fruit consumed worldwide due to its excellent quality features and high degree of acceptation by consumers. However, apples are susceptible to various postharvest disorders, leading to significant economic losses. To slow down food decay and provide constant fresh …

Differences in lipoxygenase activity as related to cultivar differences in superficial scald of apples
The relationship between lipoxygenase activity (LOX) and superficial scald was studied in the four apple cultivars (Malus domesticus Borkh.), Granny Smith (GS), Red Delicious (RD), Golden Delicious (GD) and York (YK) to determine if LOX is the genetic source of superficial scald or a means of …
