“…The biology of fruit ripening is highly complex and tightly regulated with different changes occurring to the ripening fruit, but one of the main changes associated with ripening is linked to colour ( Figure 2 ). In most cases, this involves a loss of green colour and higher accumulation of non-photosynthetic pigments in climacteric and non-climacteric fruits, as influenced by their respiratory activity, which is often associated with ethylene biosynthesis profiles [ 253 , 254 ].…”

“…Together with this, the accumulation of soluble reducing sugars and the hue value, and the maximal chlorophyll fluorescence of banana during storage were all retarded. Postharvest application of BA at a varied concentration of 0, 1, 10, and 100 mg/L delayed the de-greening of calamondins in both light and dark conditions and extended shelf life by 9 days compared to the control [ 254 ]. The underlying physiological response was the inhibition of ethylene-induced change in fruit color, and the same effect was observed in cucumber [ 262 ].…”

“…This effect could be attributed to the inhibition of polygalacturonase and pectin methylesterase activities involved in cell wall degradation and softening. There is a possibility of it indirectly promoting the production of cross-link pectic substances in the cell wall that maintain rigidification, thereby increasing the fruit firmness and shelf life by more than 16 days [ 241 , 254 ]. Although the direct mechanisms are still not well understood, further support for this idea is demonstrated in the study of Massolo et al [ 257 ], where an indication of a substantial delay in cell wall dismantling was apparent, when BA (1 mM) was applied in summer squash.…”

Cytokinins (CKs) are a chemically diverse class of plant growth regulators, exhibiting wide-ranging actions on plant growth and development, hence their exploitation in agriculture for crop improvement and management. Their coordinated regulatory effects and cross-talk interactions with other phytohormones and signaling networks are highly sophisticated, eliciting and controlling varied biological processes at the cellular to organismal levels. In this review, we briefly introduce the mode of action and general molecular biological effects of naturally occurring CKs before highlighting the great variability in the response of fruit crops to CK-based innovations. We present a comprehensive compilation of research linked to the application of CKs in non-model crop species in different phases of fruit production and management. By doing so, it is clear that the effects of CKs on fruit set, development, maturation, and ripening are not necessarily generic, even for cultivars within the same species, illustrating the magnitude of yet unknown intricate biochemical and genetic mechanisms regulating these processes in different fruit crops. Current approaches using genomic-to-metabolomic analysis are providing new insights into the in planta mechanisms of CKs, pinpointing the underlying CK-derived actions that may serve as potential targets for improving crop-specific traits and the development of new solutions for the preharvest and postharvest management of fruit crops. Where information is available, CK molecular biology is discussed in the context of its present and future implications in the applications of CKs to fruits of horticultural significance.

“…The countries that import the most calamondin from Southeast Asia are the United States, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Hong Kong. Calamondin fruit is commonly utilized in various ways in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, China, and Indonesia, for example, as an ingredient in cooking, medication, and medical cosmetics [1][2][3]. Furthermore, it can also be found in Europe and America, where it is being introduced as potted plants that decorate gardens and have a high commercial value.…”

Phytochemicals, Bioactive Properties and Commercial Potential of Calamondin (Citrofortunella microcarpa) Fruits: A Review

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The calamondin (Citrofortunella microcarpa) is a hybrid citrus fruit resulting from the crossing of a mandarin orange with a kumquat. It is a small, round-shaped fruit with thin, smooth skin ranging from orange to dark red. The aroma of the fruit is distinctive and unique. Calamondin is an excellent source of Vitamin C, D-Limonene, and essential oils, providing benefits to the immune system, as well as anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-cancer properties, and it exhibits various therapeutic effects. It also contains a good amount of dietary fiber from pectin. Its distinctive flavor and high juice content make calamondin juice a popular ingredient in many international cuisines. The juice also contains bioactive compounds, such as phenolics and flavonoids, which are a potential source of antioxidant properties. All parts of the calamondin fruit, including the juice, pulp, seeds, and peel, can be used in various applications, from food products like juices, powders, and candies to non-food uses in herbal medicine and cosmetics, showcasing their versatility and unique properties. This review will examine various bioactive components of calamondin and their related medicinal effects, and provide guidelines for their utilization, processing, and value addition on a commercial scale.

“…Significant losses occurred by these pathogens on citrus fruits in the markets and storage. Farmers can not avid the damages of fruits when they transfer fruits from farms to markets (Smilanick et al, 2005, Kawai, et al, 2018. Moreover, farmers still using fungicides to save their products from green and blue molds and other molds fungi (Tripathi andDubey, 2004, Duan et al, 2016).…”

The post-harvest green and blue molds caused by Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, respectively are considered universal diseases that lead to the spoilage of almost all kinds of mature citrus fruits, and cause significant losses in citrus fruits during storage and in the markets greater than what people believes. Several natural products were used to control plant pathogens as alternative of fungicides. Moringa oleifera as a natural product was used to treat several plant pathogens. Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, were isolated from mature spoiled orange (Citrus sinensis L.) and lemon (Citrus limon L.) fruits obtained from the local market of Haqle-Saudi Arabia and identified using morphological and physiological characteristics according to the key of Visagie, in addition to molecular methods based on ITS1 sequence analysis. The fungicidal activity of Moringa oleifera extract with different concentrations in controlling the growth of the isolates of Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum was determined in vitro. The control activity was highly dependent on Moringa oleifera extract concentration. For instance, undiluted Moringa oleifera extract showed the highest control activity with no growth as compared to the biotic control without treatment. Diluted Moringa oleifera extract 25% and 10% reduced the fungal growth to 46.54 and 29.88%, respectively, for Penicillium digitatum and 45.83 and 27.46%, respectively, for Penicillium italicum. The results of the recent study show that Moringa oleifera extract could successfully control Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium italicum, the disease agents of green and blue molds as an environmentally friendly product.
