Dark pericarp disease (DPD) in litchi is a physiological disease caused by excess manganese (Mn) in pericarp, impacting fruit appearance and marketability and leading to substantial economic loss. The susceptibility of litchi varieties to DPD differs greatly, but the underlying mechanisms remain vague. In this study, we investigated the discrepancies in physiological and biochemical processes in pericarp of two varieties (Feizixiao and Heiye) resistant to DPD and a susceptible cultivar (Guiwei) during fruit development from the same orchard. Pericarp Mn in Guiwei was significantly lower than that in Feizixiao and slightly higher than that in Heiye through fruit growth. Under Mn stress, Feizixiao and Heiye maintained ROS homeostasis, whereas substantial H 2 O 2 accumulated in Guiwei. Reduced anthocyanins and soluble sugars and increased lignin were observed in diseased Guiwei compared to Feizixiao and Heiye. The expression of genes encoding Mn transporters, light-harvesting antenna complex, ROS scavenging proteins and enzymes involved in anthocyanin synthesis was downregulated, whereas that of genes functioning in H 2 O 2 production and lignin synthesis was upregulated in Guiwei, and that of genes involved in glucose metabolism was altered, suggesting that Mn was poorly transported and sequestrated within Guiwei pericarp cells, and excess Mn boosted H 2 O 2 overproduction. The inhibited anthocyanin synthesis, enhanced lignin accumulation and tuned sugar metabolism conferred Guiwei adaptability to Mn stress. Conclusively, the poor Mn intracellular transferability and variations in response to H 2 O 2 accumulation associated with disturbed photosynthetic energy deliver under excess Mn, are collaboratively responsible for the cultivar-dependent DPD vulnerability in litchi.

The effect of sodium para -aminosalicylate (PAS-Na) on litchi pericarp browning and the potential regulating mechanism was investigated in this study. Results showed that 0.3 g L −1 PAS-Na significantly inhibited the development of pericarp browning and reduced respiration rate of litchi fruit. PAS-Na inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and decreased the expression level of senescence-related genes. Additionally, PAS-Na treatment enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX), which might contribute to the scavenging of ROS. Meanwhile, PAS-Na treatment maintained membrane integrity as indicated by reduced relative membrane leakage rate and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, as well as lower activities of membrane lipids-degrading enzymes: lipase and lipoxygenase (LOX). Amino acids, especially GABA, Glu, Met contents were also significantly affected by PAS-Na treatment. Taken together, we postulated that PAS-Na treatment might be a promising method for controlling postharvest browning and prolonging shelf-life of harvested litchi fruit.

In this study, the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions by modified Litchi peel (MLP) has been investigated. Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopic analysis (SEM) were used to characterize the biosorbents. The main results are as follow: 1) the optimal pH condition and optimum dosage for the adsorption of Cr(VI) were found to be 1–4 and 8.0 g L − 1 , respectively; 2) the adsorption process on Cr(VI) increased rapidly in 80 min and almost reached adsorption equilibrium in 100 min; 3) the adsorption of Cr(VI) increased with the increase of temperature. Furthermore, the Langmuir and Freudlich models were used to study the equilibrium process. It was found that the Langmuir model provided better correlation for the adsorption of Cr(VI) on MLP and Litchi peel (LP). The maximum adsorption at equilibrium for MLP is 9.55 mg g − 1 at 303 K, while for LP it is only 7.05 mg g − 1 at 303 K. Different kinetic models were used to analyze the kinetics of the adsorption. The pseudo-second-order model could better reflect the MLP adsorption kinetic process of Cr(VI). The thermodynamic parameters showed that the biosorption was endothermic, and there was an energy barrier for the adsorption of Cr(VI) on MLP. The present study demonstrated that MLP is an effective adsorbent for removing Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions.

This study evaluated the effects of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid on the chemical constituents of lychee wine fermented withSaccharomyces cerevisiaeDV10 when added at 200 mg/L and 300 mg/L before fermentation. Results showed that the caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid addition had no effect on the ability of alcoholic fermentation ofS. cerevisiae.The addition of both acids decreased the utilization of amino nitrogen sources and produced less α-ketoglutaric, succinic, and acetic acid. The addition of 200 mg/L of caffeic acid induced a higher product of typical aroma components of the lychee wine, including trans-rose-oxide, precursors of 1-octane-3-ol, octanoic acid, and isoamyl acetate, and produced more esters, such as ethyl caprylate, ethyl caprate, ethyl hexanoate, isoamyl acetate, citronellyl acetate, ethyl-9-decenoate, geranyl acetate, and phenethyl acetate, compared with the chlorogenic acid addition. These findings indicate that caffeic acid addition could enhance the flavorful character and improve the quality of lychee wine.Keywords:lychee wine;phenolic acid;fermentation;flavor

Zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) have attracted widespread attention because of their efficient capacity for ion transport and safety. However, the shuttle effect and physical properties of iodine species tremendously hinder their practical applications. Herein, we report a nitrogen-doped biomass litchi-shell derived porous carbon (marked as N -LPC) as the iodine host for ZIBs. The porous-rich structure of N -LPC is favorable for iodine loading and electron/ion transfers. Furthermore, the doping of heteroatomic nitrogen provides abundant anchoring sites to achieve strong interaction with iodine, thus the self-discharge can be suppressed effectively. Accordingly, the N -LPC/I 2 composite cathode exhibits a specific capacity of 127 mAh/g at 100 mA g −1 , as well as excellent rate capability and cycle stability. This study provides a strategy for discovering the cost-effective carbonaceous iodine host material.

Manganese toxicity is a major obstacle to agriculture in acid soils. Dark pericarp disease (DPD) is a newly spread physiological disorder induced by excess Mn in litchi, leading to undesirable fruit appearance and substantial economic loss. In this work, broadcast of alkaline soil conditioner in winter, followed by foliar sprays of ascorbic acid and sulfur solution at fruit development, was adopted to examine the effect of these combinations on DPD alleviation in a litchi orchard, with DPD morbidities of 70~85% in recent ten years. The combination of soil conditioner broadcast and foliar water spray was used as the control. At harvest, DPD incidence was significantly decreased by sulfur spray (3.3 ± 1.0%) and slightly reduced by ascorbic acid spray (10.7 ± 8.0%) compared to the control (12.9 ± 7.6%). Soil pH and available Mn were significantly increased and reduced by the soil conditioner broadcast. Sulfur spray significantly inhibited Mn uptake but enhanced the accumulation of Mg, Ca, sugars and cyanidin-3-rutinoside in the pericarp, leading to improved fruit pigmentation. Antioxidase activities were regulated to resist Mn stress by sulfur spray. The spray of ascorbic acid could not mitigate DPD as expected, probably due to the dose used. Conclusively, this study provides a practicable approach to mitigate Mn phytoavailability in acid soils.Keywords:litchi;Mn stress;soil pH;phenolic compound;antioxidant enzyme

Litchi and longan pests significantly affect crop yield and quality. Chemical prevention and control are very effective for production; therefore, it is crucial to study fate assessment and appropriate field efficacy before pesticide application on crops to appropriately assess the health and ecological risks linked with these agents. This study conducted Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) field trials and laboratory experiments to elucidate the dissipation, terminal residues, and efficacy of methoxyfenozide on litchi and longan in six locations throughout China. To detect methoxyfenozide residues on litchi and longan, a QuEChERS/UPLC-MS/MS-based method was designed. The initial methoxyfenozide levels in litchi and longan ranged from 2.21–2.86 to 0.83–0.95 mg kg −1 and indicated half-lives of 5.1–5.3 and 5.3–5.7 days, respectively. After 7 days of foliage treatment, the concentrations of terminal methoxyfenozide residue were 0.78–2.61 and 0.02–1.01 mg kg −1 , which were less than the established maximum residue limit for methoxyfenozide in litchi and longan. The chronic (acceptable daily intake = 0.0055–0.0331%) dietary intake risk analysis for methoxyfenozide in longan and litchi indicated acceptable concentrations of terminal residue for the general population. Methoxyfenozide in litchi and longan was readily degraded in first-order kinetics models, the degradation rate on longan was higher than that on litchi, and their dietary risks were negligible to consumers. Two hundred forty grams per liter of methoxyfenozide suspension concentrate (SC) represents a highly efficacious insecticidal dose to control litchi and longan pests and indicates a significant application potential as it is rapidly degraded and linked with reduced post-treatment residue levels.

Characteristic aroma substances of cis-rose oxide imparts the odorant of “lychee-like,” while of citronellol is the precursor of it in lychee. The characterization of volatiles of lychee wine fermentation using headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry combined with headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry were done to regulate processing. Results indicated that the total of 97 volatiles (38 in common) were observed during fermentation, including 39 terpenoids, 5 alcohols, 22 esters, 4 acids, 7 alkenes, 4 ketones and ethers, 3 sulfur compounds and others. Losses of characteristic aromas mainly occurred during primary fermentation more than threefold decrease. The volatility of cis-rose oxide was stronger than citronellol, which implied that more gentle processing should be performed to protect lychee flavor. Cis-rose oxide was a mixture of monomer and dimer with unequal proportion, while citronellol was a monomer in lychee. The work provides important new information on aroma development during fermentation. Practical applications Fruit consumption, among which tropical fruit-based products have gained huge popularity in the recent years. The main high value-added processed products of lychee pulp are lychee wine and vinegar; however, the typical aroma always decreased or disappeared during fermentation. Therefore, this study aims at providing more information for product improvement and process development.

Content of total proanthocyanidins as well as total phenolics, flavonoids, antioxidant activities were evaluated for litchi ( Litchi chinensis Sonn.) pulp of 32 cultivars. One cultivar, Hemaoli, showed the highest total proanthocyanidins and total phenolics, and DPPH or ABTS radical scavenging activities. ESI-MS and NMR analysis of the Hemaoli pulp crude extracts (HPCE) showed that procyandins composed of ( epi )catechin unites with degree of polymerization (DP) of 2–6 were dominant proanthocyanidins in HPCE. After the HPCE was fractionated by a Sephadex LH-20 column, 32 procyanidins were identified by LC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS in litchi pulp for the first time. Quantification of individual procyanidin in HPCE indicated that epicatechin, procyanidin B2, procyanidin C1 and A-type procyanidin trimer were the main procyanidins. The radical scavenging activities of different fractions of HPCE as well as six procyanidins standards were evaluated by both DPPH and ABTS assays. HPCE fractions showed similar antioxidant activities with those of Vc and six individual procyanidins, the IC 50 of which ranged from 1.88 ± 0.01 to 2.82 ± 0.10 μg/ml for DPPH assay, and from 1.52 ± 0.17 to 2.71 ± 0.15 μg/ml for ABTS assay. Such results indicate that litchi cultivars rich in proanthocyanidins are good resources of dietary antioxidants and have the potential to contribute to human health.

The effects of pulsed electric field combined with ultrasound (PEF-US) on the recovery of polyphenols from litchi peels were investigated. In addition, the optimal purification parameters for polyphenol extracts and their biological activities were also explored in this study. Single-factor and orthogonal experiments were used to optimize the extraction conditions of polyphenols. After optimization, the total phenol content (TPC) of the sample extracted by PEF-US was 2.30 times higher than that of the sample extracted by traditional hot-water extraction. The mechanism of PEF-US enhancing polyphenol recovery was also revealed by morphological analysis of the powder surface. LX-7 was the best resin by comparing the purification effect of nine macroporous resins. The optimum conditions for purification of litchi peel polyphenols by LX-7 resin were also optimized through adsorption and desorption experiments. UHPLC-MS and HPLC results revealed that gentisic acid , catechin , procyanidin A2 and procyanidin B1 are four main substances in purified samples. The results of bioactivity experiments showed that the purified polyphenol samples had strong antioxidant and antibacterial activity . Overall, PEF-US is an efficient method for recovering polyphenols from litchi peels. Our study also provides a strategy for the comprehensive utilization of fruit processing waste.

Three Lactobacillus Plantarum (LP), namely LP28, LP226 and LPC2W, were employed to investigate the effect on the aroma profiles of pasteurized litchi juice using E-nose, GC-IMS, GC-MS, and sensory evaluation. The E-nose results showed that pasteurization weakened the flavor profile of litchi juice, while LP fermentation effectively promoted flavor formation. The GC-MS analysis demonstrated that pasteurization significantly reduced the content of alcohols (28.51%), especially geraniol and citronellol, which give litchi juices a fruity and floral aroma. Different LP fermentation enhances the characteristic aroma and produces some new compounds that give it a strong fruity and citrus-like aroma. Moreover, 37 aroma-active compounds (OAV>1) indicated that the linalool (OAV 7504) was the highest, followed by ( Z )-rose oxide (OAV 4265), 1-octen-3-ol (OAV 1055) and geraniol (OAV 764), which jointly form the main characteristic flavor. More esters were identified by GC-IMS, indicating the advantage of the combined approach for a better understanding of the impact of pasteurization and fermentation on the litchi juice. The sensory evaluation confirmed that the aroma attributes of fruity, citrus-like, floral, sweet and litchi-like were stronger for the samples fermented by LP28 than those for the other samples. The combination strategy used in this study would facilitate the awareness of litchi juice aroma and broaden our insight into the deep processing of litchi.

Hydrogen (H2) has gradually become a substitute for traditional energy, but its potential danger cannot be ignored. In this study, litchi-like g-C3N4/In2O3composites were synthesized by a hydrothermal method and used to develop H2sensors. The morphology characteristics and chemical composition of the samples were characterized to analyze the gas-sensing properties. Meanwhile, a series of sensors were tested to evaluate the gas-sensing performance. Among these sensors, the sensor based on the 3 wt% g-C3N4/In2O3(the mass ratio of g-C3N4to In2O3is 3:100) showeds good response properties to H2, exhibiting fast response/recovery time and excellent selectivity to H2. The improvement in the gas-sensing performance may be related to the special morphology, the oxygen state and the g-C3N4/In2O3heterojunction. To sum up, a sensor based on 3 wt% g-C3N4/In2O3exhibits preeminent performance for H2with high sensitivity, fast response, and excellent selectivity.Keywords:g-C3N4/In2O3;litchi-like;H2sensor;fast response;high selectivity
