Postharvest effects of acetaldehyde vapour on ripening-related enzyme activity in avocado fruit

As a continuation of our efforts to discover and develop “me-better” active molecules, in this study, a series of novel isoxazole-amide derivatives containing an acylhydrazone moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). Antiviral bioassays indicated that some of the target compounds exhibited better in vivo antiviral activities against TMV and CMV than those of Ningnanmycin (NNM). Especially, the compound 7t exhibited the best curative, protection, and inactivation activities against TMV and CMV which were superior to those of NNM. Meanwhile, our present work also revealed that compound 7t could enhance the defense-related enzyme activity and increase the chlorophyll content in tobacco leaves to induce resistance and enhance plant tolerance to TMV infection.

Fermentation is one of the bioconversion processes to produce anaerobic microbes which are beneficial and can produce enzymes. One of the enzymes that can be produced is lipase. Mixed fruit fermentation is an effort to produce lipase that can be done simply. The purpose of this research is to know the activity of lipase enzyme from mixture of fermented avocado fruit (Persea americana), bananas (Musa paradisiaca) and snakefruit (Salacca zalacca). Lipase enzyme activity is tested by measuring of free fatty acid (FFA) content obtained from olive oil hydrolysis process by lipase enzyme. The results showed the highest activity obtained 17.425 U/ml and the percentage of FFA produced was 12.94%. The highest activity of lipase enzyme was obtained at 450C and pH 6.5. From this research can be concluded that the fermentation of the mixture of avocado, bananas and snakefruit can produce lipase enzyme that has relatively high activity.
