Addition of CDH significantly increased the amount of water-soluble products reduced from CEL by MnP. CDH facilitated the reduction of the contents of methoxyl, carboxyl, phenolic hydroxyl and total hydroxyl groups of CEL by MnP. 1H-NMR analysis showed that addition of CDH also decreased further the amount of protons of CEL degraded by MnP. The results proved for the first time that CDH could promote degradation of lignin by MnP and suggest that CDH could not only promote degradation of cellulose but also is an important part of the lignin biodeg-radation system.展开更多

[Method] Sweet cherry (Prunus avium var. Summit) was soaked into benziothiazolinone (1 000 ppm), lysozyme (500 ppm), lysozyme (500 ppm) + NPS polysaccharide (5 000 ppm) and water for 5 min, respectively. Non-treated sweet cherry was set as control. All the sweet cherries were then put into 3 mm thick PE bags and preserved at (-0.5±0.5) ℃. [Result] The results showed that the malate dehydrogenase (MDH) activity of benziothiazolinone treatment researched a significant peak on the 14 th d, while the MDH activity of Lysozyme (500 ppm), Lysozyme (500 ppm) + NPS polysaccharide (5 000 ppm) and water treatments began to increase on the 20 th d; the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in various treatments showed a decreasing trend during the experiment, which researched a significant peak on the 14 th d, while that in water treatment was decreased consistently; on the 21 st d, the PPO activity in each treatment increased slowly; the titratable acid (TA) content in preservative treatments was higher than that in both water treatment and control; the soluble solid (SSC) content showed no significant difference between various treatments and between experimental treatment and control; on the 40 th d, the healthy fruit rate in preservative treatments was significantly higher than that in water treatment and control. [Conclusion] Benziothiazolinone, lysozyme and other preservatives show good effects on preservation of sweet cherry; lysozyme treatment can decrease the activity of malate dehydrogenase, maintain the relatively high content of organic acid and significantly improve the healthy fruit rate within a certain period of time.展开更多
