超低氧处理对贮藏期间甜橙果实挥发性物质含量的影响

本文主要探讨甜橙［(Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.］果实在短期超低氧贮藏条件下,果皮和果汁中乙醇和乙醛等挥发性物质的含量,以及它们在不同贮藏温度和货架存放期间的变化和对果实风味品质的影响。在普通冷藏条件下,随着贮藏期的延长,甜橙果实中挥发性物质的含量虽呈上升趋势,但超低氧贮藏更明显地刺激果实中乙醇和乙醛含量的迅速增加。甜橙果实在0.3% O2的超低氧条件下贮藏30 d,果皮中乙醇的含量为519.8　μg/kg,果汁中达1547.1　μg/kg,比普通冷藏的果实高83倍,乙醛的含量较对照果实高6～7倍。低氧处理对果实可溶性固形物,可滴定酸和pH值的影响不大。甜橙果汁中乙醇含量在1000 μg/kg以下时果实的风味品质仍在正常范围之内。结果表明对甜橙果实进行短期（<20 d）的超低氧处理是可行的。

采后预温处理对草莓果实贮藏保鲜效果的影响

研究了采后预温处理对草莓果实贮藏保鲜的影响,结果表明,冷藏(5℃)条件下,贮前50℃预热处理30m in的果实腐烂率最低;室温贮藏(19℃~21℃)条件下,50℃预热处理30m in、5℃预冷处理30m in的果实腐烂率最低;贮藏前期,果实中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、丙二醛(MDA)含量不断上升,预热处理能明显提高果实的SOD活性;贮藏后期,果实SOD活性不断下降、MDA含量持续上升,预处理能显著抑制果实SOD活性的下降和MDA含量的增加。     

低温贮藏对安祖花含糖量和呼吸速率及其品质的影响（简报）

安祖花在低温贮藏过程中,其还原糖（果糖和葡萄糖）含量随呼吸速率的提高而逐渐降低。在４℃条件下,呼吸速率降低,还原糖含量下降的速度减慢。火焰苞色泽的变化与含糖量没有直接关系。 ４℃条件下贮藏超过 ３ ｄ,然后移至 ２０℃,会加速花色的坏变。贮藏前,先用２．５％二甲亚砜（ＤＭ－ＳＯ）处理,然后在４℃、１４℃条件下贮藏 １５ ｄ,并没有明显地抑制花色的坏变。     

温度和气体成分对冬枣果实贮藏期间品质的影响

主要探讨冬枣(Ziziphus jujuba Mill.cv Dongzao)在-1℃的动态气调(CA-Ⅰ,70%O2 0%CO2处理7天,然后转入5%O2 0%CO2中)、普通气调(CA-Ⅱ,5%O2 0%CO2;CA-Ⅲ,10%O2 0%CO2)及普通冷藏和常温(25℃)等条件下,果实发病率、色素、可溶性固形物、可滴定酸、乙醇和乙酸乙酯含量等的变化.结果表明:与普通冷藏相比,气调贮藏能减缓果实的腐烂,抑制色素的分解和减少果肉中乙醇、乙酸乙酯的含量.动态高氧处理能有效地保持果实的颜色,抑制色素降解及果皮褐变.CA-Ⅲ(10%O2 0%CO2)能有效地减少果肉乙醇的含量而CA-Ⅱ(5%O2 0%CO2)能有效地减少果肉乙酸乙酯的含量.气调贮藏的果实可滴定酸及可溶性固形物含量与其他处理的果实没有明显的差异.     

采后光照条件对白凤桃果实品质和挥发性香气物质形成的影响

研究了白凤桃果实贮藏过程中光照条件对果实成熟的影响。在7月12日(未熟期)和7月16日(硬熟期)采收果实,分别贮藏在光条件(白色荧光灯照明,果顶部光强为80μmol m~(-2)s~(-1))和暗条件中,室温均为25℃。硬熟期采收果实贮藏在光条件下,达到完熟期时,乙烯生成量较低。果肉的硬度在各个采收期,各种贮藏条件下均没有差别。光条件贮藏果实中花青苷含量较高。未熟期采收果实贮藏在光条件下时,可溶性固形物含量增加较多。光条件贮藏果实中天冬酰胺的下降比暗贮藏果实中更多。各时期采收的果实中,在光下贮藏时,果肉和果皮γ-癸内酯和γ-十二内酯的含量都明显增加。以上结果表明,白凤桃果实采收后在光下贮藏,可以明显改善果实的品质。     

桃果实絮败与果胶质变化和细胞壁结构的关系

“白凤”桃果实在０℃下贮藏２０ｄ以后出现肉质发棉和干化的絮败现象。冷藏第１０天在１８℃下加温３８ｈ能有效减缓絮败的发生。连续冷藏１０ｄ以后,原果胶含量开始增多,水溶性果胶含量变化不大。中途加温的果实原果胶含量变化不多,但水溶性果胶却不断增加。絮败果的果胶质粘度明显高于正常果。果肉出汁率是测定果实絮败程度的理想指标,絮败果肉细胞壁的明显特征是：伴随胞间层的分解和胞间隙的扩大,出现大量凝胶状物质的沉积

黑莓品种'Boysen'鲜果贮藏特性的研究

对黑莓(Rubus spp. )品种'Boysen'不同成熟度(七成熟、八成熟和九成熟)的鲜果在常温(25 ℃)和低温(4 ℃)条件下的贮藏特性进行了研究,对贮藏时间以及贮藏前后果实的感官指标(色泽、香味和霉烂指数)、形态指标(质量和平均果径)及品质指标(可溶性固形物含量、可滴定酸含量、总花色苷含量以及固酸比)进行了比较.结果表明,不同成熟度和贮藏温度对黑莓鲜果的贮藏时间有明显影响,常温条件下九成熟、八成熟和七成熟果实的贮藏时间分别为3、4和5 d,低温条件下则分别为7、9和14 d;果实霉烂指数则随成熟度的提高及贮藏时间的延长不断提高,成熟度或贮藏温度越低(大于0 ℃),霉烂指数越小,果实的贮藏时间就越长;七成熟和八成熟的果实贮藏后色泽加深、香味变浓,而九成熟果实贮藏前后色泽和香味变化不大.采摘时不同成熟度的果实形态指标和品质指标具有一定的差异,其中,果实成熟度越大,果实质量、平均果径、可溶性固形物含量、固酸比及总花色苷含量越高,可滴定酸含量越低.低温及常温下贮藏后果实质量及平均果径、可溶性固形物含量和可滴定酸含量均不同程度减少,而固酸比和总花色苷含量均不同程度提高,但在低温贮藏条件下各项指标的变化幅度明显小于常温.总体上,在低温条件下,八成熟果实的霉烂指数低,贮藏时间较长,贮藏后的果实质量和平均果径变化幅度小,可溶性固形物含量、可滴定酸含量和总花色苷含量以及固酸比逐渐接近九成熟果实,果实品质提高.因而,在实际生产中宜采收八成熟果实并在4 ℃条件下贮藏和运输,能较好地保持黑莓鲜果的品质.

Role for dopamine in malonate-induced damage in vivo in striatum and in vitro in mesencephalic cultures

Defects in mitochondrial energy metabolism have been implicated in the pathology of several neurodegenerative disorders. In addition, the reactive metabolites generated from the metabolism and oxidation of the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) are thought to contribute to the damage to neurons of the basal ganglia. We have previously demonstrated that infusions of the metabolic inhibitor malonate into the striata of mice or rats produce degeneration of DA nerve terminals. In the present studies, we demonstrate that an intrastriatal infusion of malonate induces a substantial increase in DA efflux in awake, behaving mice as measured by in vivo microdialysis. Furthermore, pretreatment of mice with tetrabenazine (TBZ) or the TBZ analogue Ro 4-1284 (Ro-4), compounds that reversibly inhibit the vesicular storage of DA, attenuates the malonate-induced DA efflux as well as the damage to DA nerve terminals. Consistent with these findings, the damage to both DA and GABA neurons in mesencephalic cultures by malonate exposure was attenuated by pretreatment with TBZ or Ro-4. Treatment with these compounds did not affect the formation of free radicals or the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation resulting from malonate exposure alone. Our data suggest that DA plays an important role in the neurotoxicity produced by malonate. These findings provide direct evidence that inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase causes an increase in extracellular DA levels and indicate that bioenergetic defects may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic neurodegenerative diseases through a mechanism involving DA.     

Scurvy in capybaras bred in captivity in Argentine

In order to determine if the absence of vitamin C in the diet of capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) causes scurvy, a group of seven young individuals were fed food pellets without ascorbic acid, while another group of eight individuals received the same food with 1 g of ascorbic acid per animal per day. Animals in the first group developed signs of scurvy-like gingivitis, breaking of the incisors and death of one animal. Clinical signs appeared between 25 and 104 days from the beginning of the trial in all individuals. Growth rates of individuals deprived of vitamin C was considerably less than those observed in the control group. Deficiency of ascorbic acid had a severe effect on reproduction of another population of captive capybaras. We found that the decrease in ascorbic acid content in the diet affected pregnancy, especially during the first stages. The results obtained suggest that it is necessary to supply a suitable quantity of vitamin C in the diet of this species in captivity.     

Changes in lactate dehydrogenase activity in chicken tissues in hyperthyreosis in ontogenesis

The lactate dehydrogenase activity in reactions of lactate oxidation and synthesis was studied in subfractions of the chicken brain, heart and liver at the embryonal, early postembryonal and adult stages of development after thyroxine administration. It has been shown that during embryogenesis thyroxine predominantly enhanced the rate of lactate oxidation in the mitochondrial tissues. A marked increase in the lactate synthesis was found in cytoplasm of the adult chicken tissues. Specificity of enzyme activity alterations was detected in the chicken brain during ontogenesis after thyroxine administration.     

SSTR5 ablation in islet results in alterations in glucose homeostasis in mice

Somatostatin (SST) peptide is a potent inhibitor of insulin secretion and its effect is mediated via somatostatin receptor 5 (SSTR5) in the endocrine pancreas. To investigate the consequences of gene ablation of SSTR5 in the mouse pancreas, we have generated a mouse model in which the SSTR5 gene was specifically knocked down in the pancreatic beta cells (betaSSTR5Kd) using the Cre-lox system. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that SSTR5 gene expression was absent in beta cells at three months of age. At the time of gene ablation, betaSSTR5Kd mice demonstrated glucose intolerance with lack of insulin response and significantly reduced serum insulin levels. Insulin tolerance test demonstrated a significant increase of insulin clearance in vivo at the same age. In vitro studies demonstrated an absence of response to SST-28 stimulation in the betaSSTR5Kd mouse islet, which was associated with a significantly reduced SST expression level in betaSSTR5Kd mice pancreata. In addition, betaSSTR5Kd mice had significantly reduced serum glucose levels and increased serum insulin levels at 12 months of age. Glucose tolerance test at an older age also indicated a persistently higher insulin level in betaSSTR5Kd mice. Further studies of betaSSTR5Kd mice had revealed elevated serum C-peptide levels at both 3 and 12 months of age, suggesting that these mice are capable of producing and releasing insulin to the periphery. These results support the hypothesis that SSTR5 plays a pivotal role in the regulation of insulin secretion in the mouse pancreas.
