Summary: Research has shown that heat treatments can effectively reduce or eliminate decay-causing agents on fruits and vegetables, whereas fungicides and pesticides used in the past have posed environmental contamination and health risks to consumers. As a result, heat treatments have been developed to control insects and pathogenic fungi on harvested produce. The Volcani Institute in Israel developed the HWRB technology in the 1990s, which has since been commercially utilized on various crops.

Summary: This study examined the presence and effects of microplastics in rainbow trout fillets under different packaging techniques and storage temperatures. It was found that the level of microplastics was higher in fillets stored at -20 degrees Celsius. The type of packaging and storage temperature were determined to have significant effects on the presence of microplastics and the quality of fillets.

Summary: This study aimed to synthesize polymeric chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) from Macrobrachium nipponense shells and incorporate spirulina extract (SPE) to improve the shelf life of pike-perch during refrigerated storage. The results showed that SPE-loaded CSNPs had higher encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity, effectively reduced microbial counts, and achieved controlled release for fish quality during storage.

Summary: The study investigated the quality changes of mackerel samples treated with different ice treatments during chilled storage. The results showed that the slightly acidic electrolyzed water-slurry ice (SAEW-SI) treatment had a significant advantage in inhibiting microbial growth and extending the shelf-life of mackerel. SAEW-SI treatment also effectively prevented pH increase, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) accumulation, and protein degradation and lipid oxidation, leading to better sensory characteristics and muscle structure preservation compared to other ice treatments.

Summary: This study explored the effects of plant growth regulators, including cytokinins and gibberellins, on plum fruit quality and storability. Results showed that preharvest treatment with gibberellin A3 could enhance fruit morphology, increase nutrient content, and improve postharvest preservation, suggesting its application in contemporary European plum production for improved fruit quality, storage potential, and nutritional value across different rootstocks.

Summary: New research suggests that high n-3 VLC-PUFA canola oil can be an effective and safe source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and other n-3 PUFA for sustainable salmon farming. Including high n-3 canola oil in the diet of Atlantic salmon improves fillet pigmentation and reduces fillet melanin spots without compromising fish growth.

Summary: The storage temperature has a significant impact on leaf senescence, nitrogen assimilation, and remobilization in Pak Choi. A temperature of 4 degrees C delays chlorophyll degradation and senescence, and the total nitrogen and protein content are inversely correlated. Key candidate genes related to nitrogen assimilation and remobilization have been identified.

Summary: This study investigated the use of low-cost and eco-friendly oils to prolong the shelf life of strawberry fruit. The results showed that treatment with essential oils significantly improved the visual and chemical quality of the fruit, as well as delayed changes in titratable acidity. Additionally, the treatment with oils enhanced various quality attributes of the fruit and exhibited promising potential for maintaining fruit quality during storage.

Summary: An autumn-winter trial in Southern Italy investigated the effects of nitrogen fertilizer rate and the application of azoxystrobin on butterhead lettuce. The study found that a rate of 50 kg ha(-1) of nitrogen fertilizer was suitable for autumn-winter lettuce, but did not guarantee color appearance of fresh leaves. Additionally, the application of azoxystrobin improved growth, yield, and quality of fresh leaves, as well as extended the shelf-life of shredded leaves.

Summary: The present study synthesized a new type of e-polylysine (PL) modified chitosan film (TO-CH-PL) through TEMPO oxidation system. The physicochemical properties of the TO-CH-PL film were characterized and proven to be superior to chitosan and PE films in terms of water vapor, oxygen permeability, and mechanical analysis. The TO-CH-PL film showed better preservation effects for pork fillets, as it significantly retarded the growth of bacteria, reduced the levels of volatile basic nitrogen and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and maintained the pH and color of packaged pork.

Summary: The study showed that applying gibberellic acid and 1-methyl cyclopropane to fruits after harvest can slow down the breakdown of organic acids during shelf-life. Citric acid was found to be the most abundant organic acid in the control group. The application of 1-methyl cyclopropane and GA(3) + 1-MCP treatment helped reduce the breakdown of vitamin C during the shelf-life of strawberry fruits.
