Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a commercially important fruit crop whose quality attributes are shaped by genetic background and cultivation environment, yet the relative contributions of geographic origin, climatic factors, and cultivar identity remain poorly resolved across China's diverse production regions. Forty mango samples representing six major cultivars (Tainong No. 1, Jinhuang, Guifei, Guire 82, Keitt, and Eagle-mouth) were collected from four principal production provinces (Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, and Yunnan), spanning latitudes from 19°N to 27°N and elevations from 6 to 1668 m. Twelve quality traits, including dietary fiber fractions, soluble sugars, organic acids, carotenoids, and pectin, were quantified alongside nine environmental variables. PCA captured 41.2% of total variance but revealed substantial interprovincial overlap, indicating limited discriminatory power of geographic origin alone. OPLS-DA identified mean relative humidity (VIP = 1.48) and extreme maximum temperature (VIP = 1.15) as the primary environmental discriminators. Hierarchical clustering confirmed that samples from the same province frequently dispersed across multiple clusters, underscoring the dominance of cultivar-specific genetic factors. Cultivar-level analyses revealed distinct environment-quality interaction signatures, with Guifei exhibiting the most extensive correlation network. These findings establish that mango fruit quality is governed predominantly by cultivar identity, with local microclimate and geographic provenance serving as modulating factors. Such insights offer evidence-based guidance for regional cultivar deployment and quality-oriented orchard management, particularly in cultivar selection for targeted fresh-market and processing applications.
This study investigated the bitter aftertaste-masking mechanism of grape seed extract (MOPC) and developed a dysphagia-friendly delivery system using gum Arabic (GA)-mannoproteins (2082) complexes. Multi-scale characterization revealed the mechanism by which GA-2082 suppresses the bitter aftertaste of MOPC. The results demonstrated that at an optimal concentration (0.6 mg/mL GA), the formation of stable ternary complexes with artificial saliva (AS) was driven by free hydroxyl groups, OH & ctdot;pi interactions, and hydrophobic forces. This promoted chromogenic amino acid folding and alpha-helix exposure within AS, ultimately leading to the formation of a dense AS-GA-2082 molecular network. This network effectively hindered the penetration of MOPC through the salivary pellicle. Texture analysis further indicated that GA-2082 exhibited strong tongue-adhesion properties, significantly reducing the retention of MOPC on the tongue surface and subsequent activation of bitter taste receptors. When incorporated into sodium alginate (SA) gel beads, GA-2082 improved the encapsulation efficiency of MOPC, achieving a maximum of 97.68 % at 0.75 % SA concentration, while maintaining safe swallowing characteristics. These findings demonstrated GA-2082 possessed dual functionality as both an effective bitter aftertaste-masking agent and a delivery vehicle for bioactive compounds, providing a promising nutrientdense formulations for dysphagia management.
The rigid triple-helix structure of mannoproteins (MPs, 2082) demonstrated limited initial capacity to inhibit bitterness caused by grape seed extract (MOPC). To enhance this inhibition capacity, the current study utilized gum Arabic (GA) to modify the structure of MPs. Results from the electronic tongue indicated that the incorporation of GA enhanced the bitterness masking ability of 2082 toward MOPC. Analysis using AFM, zeta potential, SEM, NMR, and other methods showed that the hyperbranched structure of GA facilitated the formation of more intermolecular hydrogen bonds (-OH-it) with 2082, promoting the unfolding of its triple-helix structure to form GA-2082 complexes. These complexes featured a dense polysaccharide shell capable of encapsulating MOPC, which significantly reduced its bitterness. Furthermore, leveraging the encapsulation properties of the GA-2082 complexes, this study selected a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to prepare GA-2082-MOPC flavormasking edible films using a one-pot approach. GA-2082 encapsulated MOPC and incorporated it into the PVA network, enhancing the film's transparency, density, antimicrobial properties, mechanical performance, MOPC preservation, and bioavailability. In conclusion, this study presented a strategy for the flavor modification of MOPC, thereby enhancing its edibility.
Mannoproteins (MPs) are primary constituents of yeast cell walls, which are extensively utilized in the winemaking process, in finished wines, and during wine aging to enhance aroma, stabilize pigments, improve wine body, and reduce astringency. However, existing research has mainly focused on the extraction of MPs and certain oenological properties. A review of the literature indicates that our understanding of the targets and mechanisms influenced by MPs related to winemaking characteristics remains limited. Furthermore, as further research on MPs progresses, it also has beneficial effects in other food processing and food healthcare. Therefore, this evaluation examines MPs from three aspects: extraction methods, corresponding structures, and performances, providing a more comprehensive and critical insight into the structure-activity relationship of MPs. In a word, it outlines the primary applications of MPs in food and aims to provide data support for more precise control over the use of MPs from a structural perspective.
This study comprehensively investigated volatile compounds and microbial communities of spontaneously fermented Vitis quinquangularis wines from the Guangxi production regions. The aroma profiles of V. quinquangularis wines were analyzed by GC-O-MS, GC-QQQ-MS/MS, and quantitative descriptive analysis. The wines exhibit predominantly fruity and floral notes, with contributions from esters and (E)-β-damascenone. A distinctive and typical "green and earthy" aroma was observed, with contributions from C6 compounds and volatile phenols such as 1-hexanol, (E)-3-hexen-1-ol, hexanoic acid, 4-vinylguaiacol, eugenol, and isoeugenol. Metagenomics and culturomics analyses indicated that the dominant strains involved in the spontaneous fermentation process were Hanseniaspora opuntiae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Paenibacillus sp., Sphingomonas sp., and Bacillus sp. Additionally, microorganisms from sixteen generas, including Actinomycetospora and Ameyamaea, etc., along with six enzymes like EC 1.1.1.1 and EC 1.1.1.318, etc., were implicated in the production of the "green and earthy" aroma in V. quinquangularis wines.
Modification of wine bitterness is subtle and complex. To investigate the mechanism underlying the differences in the initial bitter inhibition of grape seed extract (MOPC) by mannoproteins (MPs), the molecular interactions between MPs from different chain conformations and MOPC at different concentrations were analyzed using methylation, laser light scattering, rheological behavior analysis, and spectral techniques. The results indicated that MPs with linear hyperbranched structures at low concentrations (0.25 mg/mL) exhibit strong initial bitter inhibition, primarily due to the structural characteristics of the MPs-MOPC binary complexes. This included binding protein components to MOPC through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and encapsulating protein components and MOPC within a dense, strongly hydrophilic polysaccharide shell. These findings provide a theoretical basis for producing more efficient MPs by clarifying the key conformation and mechanism by which MPs inhibit wine bitterness.
To investigate the mechanisms by which mannoproteins (MPs, CECA, and 2082) with different chain conformations and concentrations inhibit the bitter aftertaste of monomeric and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (MOPC), a multilayer penetration approach was employed to reveal their mechanisms of action across different levels. At the salivary level, MPs formed a dense network with artificial saliva (AS) through key hydrophobic interactions. Fluorescence spectroscopy results indicated that the primary interaction force between CECA and AS were electrostatic interaction. However, as the concentration of CECA increased, the stacking of polysaccharide chains enhanced the exposure of protein components, thereby promoting additional hydrophobic interactions with AS. In contrast, the rigid triple-helical structure of 2082 facilitated greater exposure of its protein components, leading to predominant hydrophobic interactions with AS. Texture analysis demonstrated that MPs formed an adhesive layer on the tongue surface. Molecular docking analysis revealed that MPs inhibited the activation of the bitter taste receptor TAS2R14 by MOPC through two mechanisms: reducing binding sites and blocking receptor activation. These findings provided practical applications for improving the taste of wine and offered a theoretical foundation for modulating undesirable tastes in other beverage systems.
This study investigated the effects of molecular weight regulation on mannoproteins (MPs) in encapsulating both monomeric and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (MOPC). To achieve this, two different conformations of MPs were fractionated by ultrafiltration into two main molecular weight components. The results indicated that regulating molecular weight through ultrafiltration altered the conformation of MPs chains, which in turn affected the intermolecular forces with MOPC. Specifically, the interactions among the different molecular weight components of MPs formed a cross-linking network. High molecular weight components provided external support to this network, while low molecular weight components contributed to internal stabilization. The dense, flexible, and irregular coil structure of MPs facilitated the entry of MOPC into the internal spaces of the cross-linking network. Additionally, protein unfolding into a more stable β-sheet structure further stabilized MPs' cross-linking network, enhancing its capacity to encapsulate MOPC. The presence of more hydrophobic regions and positive charges within the proteins increased the number of binding sites for MOPC. This study aimed to identify the primary structural forms of MPs with potent initial bitter inhibition capabilities on MOPC, and a proposed ultrafiltration method was introduced to modify the triple helix structure of polysaccharide, offering a foundational theoretical framework for enhancing the functional attributes of current or prospective MPs. Additionally, the mixed regulation of polysaccharides with varying conformations was also beneficial for guiding the production of high-efficiency polysaccharide products.
To rich the research for mannoproteins (MPs) suppressive effect on the bitterness of wine, this study distinguished bitterness into initial bitterness and bitter aftertaste. By utilizing the thermal alkali extraction method, MPs were extracted from three different yeast species: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CECA), Lachancea thermotolerans (A38), and Torulaspora delbrueckii (2082). Their basic structures, addition concentrations, and correlation with bitter suppression ability were characterized. CECA exhibited stronger initial bitterness suppression ability, may attributed to its more branches and lack of a triple-helix structure. 2082 showed greater bitter aftertaste suppression and might due to smaller particle aggregation, fewer branches, and triple-helix structure. Additionally, it was noteworthy that due to the unique structure of 2082, it may bound more monomer and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (MOPC) on MPs surface, reducing its initial bitterness suppression ability. Concerning concentration, the increase in polysaccharide chain polymerization hindered further interaction with MOPC, leading to a decrease in its initial bitterness suppression ability. Bitter aftertaste exhibited different behaviors. As the concentration of CECA increased, there was an increase in oral adhesion instead.
In this study, a colorimetric method was developed to enable the rapid determination of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) acidification ability by assessing the pH drop during juice fermentation. The proposed method used spectrophotometry to track pH variations induced by LAB, utilizing bromophenol blue as a pH indicator. This colorimetric method demonstrated linearity within the pH range of 2.50-5.70. Optimal performance was achieved with 5.0 % bromophenol blue, yielding a linear equation of y = 1.25x-0.78, with an R2 value of 0.99 upon regression analysis. The method's high accuracy, repeatability and reproducibility were validated through comparisons of pH values obtained using different matrices with those measured using glass electrodes/pH meters. Several Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains with excellent acid-producing properties were identified through this method. Specifically, the growth of L20, L2 and L6 in MRS medium with a glucose concentration of 200 g/L for 24 h led to a pH decrease of 1.00 unit, while the growth of L20 and L21 in MRS with an ethanol concentration of 12 % (v/v) for 24 h resulted in a similar pH decrease. Strains L12, L14, and L18 could lower the pH of banana and lychee juices by more than 0.30 units at both 25 and 36 degrees C. These results highlight the effectiveness of the method for rapidly screening LAB acidifying activity.

[Objective]Ethylene receptor ETR1 and ERS1 genes(MiETR1 and MiERS1)from mango(Mangnifera in-dica L.)were cloned,and bioinformatics analysis was conducted in order to provide theoretical reference for further study of functional mechanism of the ethylene receptors in mango ripening and senescencing.[Method]Using mango fruit as material,full-length cDNA sequences of MiETR1 and MiERS1 by RACE technology was amplified,and the encoded ami-no acid sequences were predicted by bioinformatics method.[Result]The full-length cDNA sequence of cloned gene Mi-ETR1 was 2570 bp,an open reading frame(ORF)of 2220 bp,encoding 739 amino acids. The full-length cDNA sequence of cloned gene MiERS1 was 2171 bp,and it was consisted of an ORF of 1890 bp,encoding 629 amino acids. The Gen-Bank accession numbers for the two were KY002681 and KY002682. Bioinformatic analysis showed that the MiETR1 and MiERS1 proteins were non secreted hydrophobic protein with transmembrane domain,belonging to the ETR1 family member of ethylene receptor with Ser-based,Thr-assisted phosphorylation-modulatory. MiETR1 and MiERS1 proteins contained three typical modules,namely GAF domain,HisKA domain and HATPase_c domain. MiERS1 protein lacked REC domain compared with MiETR1. The amino acid sequences of ETR1 and ERS1 proteins in different species were highly conserved. MiETR1 and MiERS1 had high homologous with the ETR1 and ERS1 proteins of Citrus sinensis and Citrus clementina. However,the two clustered on two different branches,indicating that there was genetic differentiation between the two proteins at certain extents.[Conclusion]Ethylene receptor gene plays a regulatory role in mango fruit maturation and senescence.
