Despite its importance, inadequate handling, transportation, storage, and traditional ripening practices lead to significant postharvest losses. Therefore, a two-factor experiment using CRD with three replications was employed to evaluate the shelf life and quality of two banana cultivars, Amritasagar and Mehersagar, under six postharvest treatments: control, refrigeration at 14°C, ascorbic acid, potassium aluminum sulfate, unperforated polythene bag with KMnO4, and calcium chloride. Significant varietal differences were observed. During storage, total sugars (reducing and non-reducing) and total soluble solids (TSS) increased. The highest total sugar content (26.07%) was recorded in Amritasagar treated with KMnO4, whereas the lowest values were observed under control conditions. Shelf life was significantly influenced by postharvest treatments; bananas treated with KMnO4 showed the longest shelf life, with 20.15 days in Amritasagar and 18.65 days in Mehersagar, compared to only 10.16 days for untreated Amritasagar. These findings demonstrate that KMnO4 is highly effective in delaying ripening and extending banana shelf life. Therefore, the use of KMnO4 in unperforated polythene packaging is recommended as a simple, cost-effective postharvest treatment to reduce losses and maintain banana quality in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":100565,"journal":{"name":"Future Postharvest and Food","volume":"3 1","pages":"59-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fpf2.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated the influence of three potato varieties (Kufri Chipsona 1, Kufri Frysona, and Kufri Chipsona 3) and varying storage durations on the chemical composition, color, fat content, and the formation of acrylamide (AA) and hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in French fries. The goal was to optimize the selection of potato varieties and storage periods to produce French fries with minimal health-related compounds. Our results revealed that the choice of potato variety and storage conditions significantly impacted the composition of French fries. Potatoes with low reducing sugar content and specific storage temperatures are essential for producing high-quality French fries. Among the potato varieties tested, Kufri Frysona stored for 15 days, emerged as the best choice for minimizing the AA and HMF formation in the final product. The study also established strong correlations between the chemical composition of potatoes and the formation of AA and HMF during frying. This research emphasizes the importance of selecting the right potato variety and storage conditions to mitigate, health risks of fried foods.","PeriodicalId":100565,"journal":{"name":"Future Postharvest and Food","volume":"3 1","pages":"69-80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fpf2.70038","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147567450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enzymatic analysis revealed that peroxidase (POD) activity increased, whereas polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity decreased with maturity, influencing discoloration and flavor stability. Mineral analysis showed high levels of potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium, with COD (seventh month) recording superior balance of electrolytes. Flavor profiling demonstrated that COD at seventh month maturity possessed desirable volatile compounds without the rancid or pungent notes observed in MOD and MYD.

Conventional transient transformation approaches, while offering rapid gene expression, are inherently short-lived and insufficient for sustained functional studies. In this study, we establish an improved Agrobacterium tumefaciens (strain LBA4404)-mediated transformation system for peach fruit by performing three consecutive infections at three developmental stages: fruit-set, mid-growth, and 2 weeks before harvest. Compared with conventional single-time-point transient transformation—which typically yields gene expression lasting only about one week—our protocol achieves prolonged and robust transformation effects, including stable overexpression of PpSNARE13 and efficient targeted mutagenesis of PpVOZ1 and PpVOZ2 persisting for up to 32 days. This repeated transformation strategy substantially extends the effective expression window and circumvents the lengthy selection procedures required for stable transformation. It enables efficient and reliable gene function screening directly in peach fruits, thereby offering a practical tool for postharvest biology and functional genomics in woody plants. This system can be widely applied to gene function studies in peach fruits and holds significant potential for advancing postharvest quality improvement and fruit preservation.","PeriodicalId":100565,"journal":{"name":"Future Postharvest and Food","volume":"3 1","pages":"50-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fpf2.70037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147569740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Malta peel pectin (MPP) and MMT were combined to develop a biodegradable film that had a greater tensile strength (TS) ranging from 3.40 ± 0.03 MPa to 10.69 ± 0.06 MPa and lower water vapor permeability (WVP) ranging from 1.88 × 10−8 ± 0.06 g/Pa.h.m to 1.23 × 10−8 ± 0.08 g/Pa.h.m than films made from pectin only. The presence of MMT in biodegradable film (10.11 ± 0.06–7.93 ± 0.09) resulted in lesser transparency than the pectin-only film (10.77 ± 0.03%). Both pectin and biodegradable films prepared from the composites showed an amorphous structure in XRD diffractograms. The compact matrix structure of the film was because of the intermolecular contact augmented by the incorporation of MMT. The composite films containing pectin displayed a uniform structure devoid of phase separation and decreased disorder. The addition of MMT to films increased their thermal stability. The pectin reinforced with MMT showed good compatibility and increased desirable properties in the biodegradable film.","PeriodicalId":100565,"journal":{"name":"Future Postharvest and Food","volume":"3 1","pages":"4-15"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fpf2.70026","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on principal component analysis (PCA) of their sensory scores, P1 (0% CA, 20 min), P2 (0.1% CA, 20 min), and P5 (0% CA, 30 min) were selected for further storage study, during which physicochemical, microbial, and sensory parameters were monitored until the attainment of any detectable microbial colony. As storage time increased, there was a continual decline in quality traits, with P5 showing the most pronounced changes (p < 0.05). Inclusion of CA and shorter retorting time could delay the degradation of carotenoids, sugars, and organoleptic properties and even decelerate the increase in the browning index.

Inequalities in financial resources and a lack of dietary knowledge influence the diversity of global cataract frequencies, emphasizing the urgency of prophylactic strategies. With regard to precise and accurate monitoring, this abstract synthesized 67 articles, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. Promising evidence indicates a nutritious meal containing fruits, vegetables, and vitamins C (ascorbic acid) and E, calcium, folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, and carotenoids (lutein/zeaxanthin) is beneficial to halt cataract initiation and preserve eye health on a global scale. Vitamin E could safeguard light-sensitive ocular structures regarding photoperoxidative degradation driven by light-catalyzed oxygen-free radicals. It's imperative to refrain from a diet filled with fat, salt, and glucose. Arguably, research has settled on the possible connection between the consumption of carbohydrates, sugar, dairy-related foods, and cataracts. Frequencing around 37%, cataract may be associated with severe diarrhea or cholera, in accordance with epidemiological studies investigated in India. A prospective remedial approach to decisively promoting nutritious meals containing vitamin C and E, carotenoids (lutein, meso-zeaxanthin, and zeaxanthin), and omega-3 fatty acids that are accessible, affordable, and enticing to everyone is highly desirable in community outreach and employing expertise from interdisciplinary fields. There is abundant scope with promising evidence on caffeine's anti-apoptotic characteristics, along with modulation of glycation pathways, considering the dietary inflammation index (DII), ought to concentrate on a new pathway against cataractogenesis.","PeriodicalId":100565,"journal":{"name":"Future Postharvest and Food","volume":"3 1","pages":"81-91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/fpf2.70039","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147564799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
