Objective: To study the seedling emergence and seedling characteristics of three kinds of wild fruit tree seeds planted artificially in the original habitat and explore the seedling regeneration characteristics of wild fruit trees. Methods: After storage in cold stratification, wild apple, wild...

Premise: The preservation of plant tissues in ethanol is conventionally viewed as problematic. Here, we show that leaf preservation in ethanol combined with proteinase digestion can provide high-quality DNA extracts. Additionally, as a pretreatment, ethanol can facilitate DNA extraction for...

As a green forest vegetable rich in fiber and protein and low in fat and sugar, bamboo shoots are becoming more and more popular. However, the harvesting season of bamboo shoots is concentrated and the metabolism is vigorous after harvesting, which makes it susceptible to rot and aging during...

Black mulberries fruit are well-known sources of nutrition and their high levels of phenolics, flavonoids, and antioxidants. However, their short shelf-life and postharvest quality preservation remain a significant handicap for consumption and processing purposes. Therefore, the aim of this work...

Chestnut has a short harvest period. After harvesting, the fruit has a high moisture content, fast metabolism, and is tightly wrapped by the dense inner skin and husk. It is prone to spoilage, which affects food safety and causes serious waste of resources. This article reviewed the research...

The present work aimed to produce edible oil that is low-cost and rich in ω-3 fatty acids (mainly α-linolenic acid; ALA). Silkworm pupae are industrial wastes which could be a good choice as the raw material for silkworm pupal oil (SPO) is. Solvent extraction (SE), supercritical fluid extraction...

The effects of different storage conditions on the sugars of chestnut kernel were studied. Fresh chestnut kernels were stored under three different storage conditions: box-type controlled atmosphere(BCA;5% O2, 4% CO2, 0°C), active modified atmosphere packaging(AMAP;17% O2, 4% CO2, 0°C), and passive ...

In order to reduce the oxidative degradation of citral, our research group modified citral with the natural antioxidant from tea polyphenols and applied it to bamboo processing to enhance the anti-mold effect of bamboo, but its application to the bamboo treatment process and the anti-mold effect is ...

Camu-camu (Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) Mc Vaugh) is a native fruit of Amazon region, which stands out for its high levels of ascorbic acid and phenolic compounds. Such characteristics have increased its demand in the market, with several scientific studies being developed to elucidate its potential. As ...

This study was conducted to investigate the impact of oven-drying and freeze-drying on the weight of mountain pine beetle specimens. The experiment involved 2 phases, with each phase testing different drying methods. The results indicated that freeze-drying was more effective in preserving specimen ...
