Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Amino acid content increased during ripening under all conditions.
- Intervention effect Chilling storage reduced protein content of mature green fruit.
- Intervention effect Off-vine ripening gave red fruit threefold higher amino acid levels than on-vine ripening.
- Observation Autoproteolytic, azocaseinolytic and gelatinolytic protease activities were detected in all evaluated fruits.
- Association Protease activities differed by ripening stage, condition and specific inhibitors.
- Intervention effect Harvest and chilling storage increased endogenous substrate proteolysis.
- Intervention effect Harvest and chilling storage increased azocaseinolytic activity.
- Intervention effect Harvest and chilling storage increased free amino acid levels.
