A focus on the biosynthesis and composition of cuticle in fruits
Lara Ayala, Isabel; Belge, Burcu; Goulao, Luis F. (American Chemical Society, 2015-04-29)Cuticles are plant structures, composed mostly by lipidic layers, synthesized by nonwoody aerial plant organs and deposited on the surface of outer epidermal cell walls. Although its significance has been often disregarded, ... -
Differential contribution of the two major polygalacturonases from Penicillium digitatum to virulence towards citrus fruit
Vilanova Torren, Laura; López-Pérez, M.; Ballester, Ana-Rosa; Teixidó i Espasa, Neus; Usall i Rodié, Josep; Lara Ayala, Isabel; Viñas Almenar, Inmaculada; Torres Sanchis, Rosario; González-Candelas, Luis (Elsevier, 2018-10)The fungus Penicillium digitatum is the causal agent of the citrus green mould, the major postharvest diseases of citrus fruit. Lesions on the surface of infected fruits first appear as soft areas around the inoculation ... -
Eating quality and health-promoting properties of two sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars stored in passive modified atmosphere
Lara Ayala, Isabel; Camats, Josep A.; Comabella, Eva; Ortiz Catalán, Abel (SAGE Publications, 2015)Two sweet cherry cultivars ('New Star' and 'Sweet Heart') were chosen to explore the impact of passive modified atmosphere packaging on the eating quality and health-promoting properties of fruit. Packaged and unpackaged ... -
Firmness at harvest impacts postharvest fruit softening and internal browning development in mechanically damaged and non-damaged highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)
Moggia Lucchini, Claudia; Graell i Sarle, Jordi; Lara Ayala, Isabel; González, Guillermina; Lobos, Gustavo A. (Frontiers Media, 2017-04-11)Fresh blueberries are very susceptible to mechanical damage, which limits postharvest life and firmness. Softening and susceptibility of cultivars 'Duke' and 'Brigitta' to developing internal browning (IB) after mechanical ... -
Fruit characteristics and cuticle triterpenes as related to postharvest quality of highbush blueberries
Moggia Lucchini, Claudia; Graell i Sarle, Jordi; Lara Ayala, Isabel; Schmeda-Hirschmann, Guillermo; Thomas-Valdés, Samanta; Lobos, Gustavo A. (Elsevier, 2016-09-15)Chilean fresh blueberries take 20-50 days to arrive by boat to the Northern hemisphere, softening and dehydration being the main defects upon arrival. The effect of maturity at harvest (75% blue, 100% blue, and overripe) ... -
Preharvest sprays and their effects on the postharvest quality of fruit
Lara Ayala, Isabel (Stewart Postharvest Review, 2013-10)Purpose of review: This paper reviews studies on the effects of preharvest spray treatments on the postharvest quality and storage potential of fruits, with the objective of summarising the main effects in each case and ... -
The effect of frozen storage on the phenolic compounds of Morus nigra L. (black mulberry) and Morus alba L. (white mulberry) fruit
Pehluvan, Mücahit; Kaya, Tuncay; Doğru, Berna; Lara Ayala, Isabel (Cirad / EDP Sciences, 2015-03-01)Morus nigra L. (black mulberry) and Morus alba L. (white mulberry) display high concentrations of health-promoting compounds, particularly phenolics. However, no published studies have addressed the changes in the content ... -
The effects of sous-vide cooking parameters on texture and cell wall modifications in two apple cultivars: A response surface methodology approach
Ortiz Catalán, Abel; Le Meurlay, Dominique; Lara Ayala, Isabel; Symoneaux, Ronan; Madieta, Emmanuel; Mehinagic, Emira (SAGE Publications, 2017)This work aimed at evaluating the effects of sous-vide cooking parameters, such as time and temperature and their interactions, on textural attributes of 'Mondial Gala' and 'Granny Smith' apple cultivars. For this, different ...
