“…For example, chlorophylls are responsible for the green color of leaves, carotenoids are responsible for yellow and red flowers, vegetables, and fruits, while anthocyanins determine the color of flowers and fruits from orange to dark blue [ 10 ]. The color of mangoes and tomatoes is associated with carotenes and lycopene, respectively [ 11 , 12 ]. Cornflowers, blueberries, mulberries, and strawberries are rich in anthocyanins.…”

(1) Background: Dyes play an important role in food, medicine, textile, and other industries, which make human life more colorful. With the increasing demand for food safety, the development of natural dyes becomes more and more attractive. (2) Methods: The literature was searched using the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, and SciFinder and this scoping review was carried out following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). (3) Results: 248 articles were included in this review. This review summarizes the research progress on natural dyes in the last ten years. According to structural features, natural dyes mainly include carotenoids, polyphenols, porphyrins, and alkaloids, and some of the newest dyes are summarized. Some pharmacological activities of carotenoids, anthocyanin, curcumin, and betalains in the last 10 years are summarized, and the biological effects of dyes regarding illumination conditions. The disadvantages of natural dyes, including sources, cost, stability, and poor bioavailability, limit their application. Here, some feasible strategies (potential resources, biotechnology, new extraction and separation strategies, strategies for improving stability) are described, which will contribute to the development and utilization of natural dyes. (4) Conclusion: Natural dyes show health benefits and potential in food additives. However, it is necessary for natural dyes to pass toxicity tests and quality tests and receive many regulatory approvals before their final entry into the market as food colorants or as drugs.

“…In mango, the major carotenoid present in the peel was β‐carotene, which accounted for 70% of the total carotenoids. The minor carotenoids were all‐ trans ‐violaxanthin, 9‐ cis ‐violaxanthin, lutein, β‐cryptoxanthin, and α‐carotene, which were presented at low concentrations during both fruit development and ripening (Yungyuen et al., 2021). The total carotenoid content progressively accumulated during fruit ripening in the three cultivars studied.…”

Durian (Durio zibethinus Murray) is an important economic crop in Southeast Asian countries. Analysis of the composition of durian pulp indicates that it has high nutraceutical value that is related to the presence of bioactive antioxidant compounds, with carotenoids being one of the important constituents. The major carotenoids are β‐ and α‐carotene, with the minor carotenoids being lutein and zeaxanthin. Carotenoid biosynthesis in durian pulp involves the coordinated expression of many genes with at least nine genes encoding enzymes having been identified. Carotenoid accumulation increases as fruit maturity advances and is highest in ripe fruit. The concentration of carotenoids in ripe durian pulp varies among cultivars. Ripening‐induced carotenoid accumulation is regulated by endogenous ethylene that controls the expression of key genes.

“…The accumulation of pigments in mango pulp and peel differs among cultivars. Genes involved in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway such as CRTISO , PDS , PSY , ZDS , LCYb , LCYe , BCH and ZEP were found to have a positive correlation with total carotenoid content in pulp [ 120 , 121 ], whereas peel colour is found to be influenced by the expression of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and p-coumarate 3-hydroxylase (C3H), key enzymes in anthocyanin biosynthesis [ 122 ]. Varieties with red peel had increased expression of anthocyanin biosynthesis genes compared to yellow and green peeled cultivars, whereas yellow peeled cultivars had higher fold of expression of genes associated with carotenoid biosynthesis than was observed in mango [ 123 , 124 ].…”

The breeding of tropical fruit trees for improving fruit traits is complicated, due to the long juvenile phase, generation cycle, parthenocarpy, polyploidy, polyembryony, heterozygosity and biotic and abiotic factors, as well as a lack of good genomic resources. Many molecular techniques have recently evolved to assist and hasten conventional breeding efforts. Molecular markers linked to fruit development and fruit quality traits such as fruit shape, size, texture, aroma, peel and pulp colour were identified in tropical fruit crops, facilitating Marker-assisted breeding (MAB). An increase in the availability of genome sequences of tropical fruits further aided in the discovery of SNP variants/Indels, QTLs and genes that can ascertain the genetic determinants of fruit characters. Through multi-omics approaches such as genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics and proteomics, the identification and quantification of transcripts, including non-coding RNAs, involved in sugar metabolism, fruit development and ripening, shelf life, and the biotic and abiotic stress that impacts fruit quality were made possible. Utilizing genomic assisted breeding methods such as genome wide association (GWAS), genomic selection (GS) and genetic modifications using CRISPR/Cas9 and transgenics has paved the way to studying gene function and developing cultivars with desirable fruit traits by overcoming long breeding cycles. Such comprehensive multi-omics approaches related to fruit characters in tropical fruits and their applications in breeding strategies and crop improvement are reviewed, discussed and presented here.
