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

mycolabadmin

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.

Changes in the microflora on the seed surface and seed vigor of maize (Zea mays) under different conditions

mycolabadmin

When maize seeds are stored in humid conditions, harmful fungi multiply rapidly and damage the seed’s ability to germinate and grow. This study found that seeds stored at 91% humidity lost 86% of their germination ability within 60 days, compared to seeds stored in drier conditions. The fungi deplete the seed’s energy reserves and trigger oxidative damage, ultimately destroying the seed’s viability. Understanding these changes helps farmers and seed producers maintain seed quality during storage.

Determination of Tryptamine Alkaloids and Their Stability in Psychotropic Mushrooms

mycolabadmin

Researchers analyzed the active compounds found in psychotropic mushrooms used for therapy and microdosing. They found that the amounts of these compounds vary greatly between mushroom samples and can degrade during storage. Fresh mushrooms stored in freezers degraded faster than dried mushrooms kept at room temperature in the dark, suggesting proper storage is important for maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.
