“…Postharvest application of GB to 'Lapins' and 'Regina' cherries. Postharvest application of GB to fruit has been demonstrated to delay quality deterioration, to promote bioactive compound accumulation, and to enhance chilling tolerance (Razavi et al, 2018;Shan et al, 2015Shan et al, , 2016. However, in this study, 2 or 4 g · L -1 GB in hydro-cooling water applied postharvest did not affect fruit skin color, SSC, or TA of 'Lapins' or 'Regina' cherries, but these treatments markedly reduced FF during storage at 0°C compared with control (Table 1).…”

“…Preharvest and postharvest applications of plant growth regulators have been proven to slow the deterioration of cherry quality (Correia et al, 2017;Valero et al, 2011;Zhang and Whiting, 2013). Glycine betaine (GB; N, N, N-trimethylglycine), which is a natural osmoregulator derived from sugar beet molasses, has a crucial role in preventing fruit from chilling injury, oxidative stress, and pathogen growth (Liu et al, 2011;Ragab et al, 2015;Razavi et al, 2018;Shan et al, 2015Shan et al, , 2016. In the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, GB sprays at 2 or 4 weeks before the harvest date slightly reduced rain-induced cracking in 'Sweetheart' cherries, but statistical differences were not detected in the sugar accumulation or FF (Hansen, 2010).…”

This study aimed to evaluate whether preharvest or postharvest application of glycine betaine (GB) has the potential to improve fruit quality [fruit firmness (FF), size, skin color, soluble solids content (SSC), and titratable acidity (TA)] and susceptibility to storage disorders (peduncle browning, pitting, and decay) in ‘Lapins’ or ‘Regina’ sweet cherries, and to determine whether factors such as application frequency or timing impacted the efficacy of GB spraying. Adding 2 or 4 g·L−1 GB to hydro-cooling water (0 °C) as postharvest treatment did not affect fruit size, skin color, SSC, TA, peduncle browning, or pitting development; however, it did result in fruit softening and a low incidence of decay. GB applied preharvest at 2 or 4 g·L−1 once at 1 week before harvest (1WBH) was more effective for retaining FF and less peduncle browning and pitting compared with postharvest treatment. Increasing the preharvest GB application frequency from one time (1WBH or pit hardening) to three times (pit hardening, straw color, and 1WBH) enhanced FF and TA levels and resulted in lower pitting. The reduction in fruit size was observed for ‘Regina’, but not for ‘Lapins’. Changes in the contents of phosphorous (P), potassium (K), and magnesium (Mg) were unaffected by GB at harvest, whereas three GB sprays increased the total nitrogen (N) content. Compared with ‘Lapins’, ‘Regina’ allowed more calcium (Ca) uptake by GB and ultimately had firmer flesh. In conclusion, three preharvest applications of 4 g·L−1 GB showed great potential to improve quality attributes, to reduce the susceptibility to storage disorders, and to increase the Ca content of ‘Regina’ cherries.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of cotton waste enrichment with glycine betaine (GB) for production of two strains (P9, P10) of king oyster (Pleurotus eryngii). Cotton waste was used as (100%) control (T0 = cotton waste) and augmented with various combinations of GB, (T1 = 2 mmol L−1, T2 = 4 mmol L−1, T3 = 6 mmol L−1, T4 = 8 mmol L−1 and T5 = 10 mmol L−1). The response of king oyster to GB was evaluated by earliness, yield, biological efficiency (BE), minerals (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca)), total sugars, total soluble solids, reducing sugars, non‐reducing sugars, ascorbic acid, proximate (crude protein, carbohydrates, crude fibers, ash, fats) content of fruiting body and Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis compared with the control substrate (cotton waste). RESULTS The earliness, yield, and BE were higher as compared to control substrate and increased with an augmentation in the concentration of GB within the cotton waste. Two strains showed (on dry weight basis) 33.9–54.9 mg g−1 nitrogen, 6.8–12.5 mg g−1 phosphorus, 16.9–25.1 mg g−1 potassium, 40.5–64.2 mg kg−1 Zn, 17.1–37.3 mg kg−1 Cu, 1174–1325 mg kg−1 Mg, 20.1–29.1 mg kg−1 Mn, 129–265 mg kg−1 Fe, 779–835 mg kg−1 Ca), 6.3%–11.3% total sugars, 7.3–14.9 °Brix total soluble solids, 2.1–7.3% reducing sugars, 10.4–18.1% crude protein, 3.6–4.4% crude fiber and 5.6–16.7 mg (100 g)‐1 on various concentration of GB enrich cotton waste. Cotton waste enriched with GB significantly affected nutritional profile of king oyster mushroom. CONCLUSION The results revealed that GB enriched cotton waste can be used as an innovative substrate to enhance the yield and quality of king oyster mushroom. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
