Physiological effects of MAP and calcium chloride treatments on biochemical metabolites and quality stability by reducing respiration rate in sweet cherry fruit during storage

This study examined how treating freshly harvested sweet cherries with calcium chloride and special packaging can keep them fresher longer. Researchers found that combining both treatments was most effective at preventing the fruit from losing weight, developing rot, and breaking down important nutrients. The combined treatment reduced respiration by 77% and better preserved vitamins and beneficial compounds that give cherries their health benefits.

Valorization and Environmental Impacts of Pecan Waste: A Critical Review

Pecan shells, which make up about half of the pecan nut and are usually discarded, contain valuable compounds with health-promoting properties like antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.
