Abstract Chitosan coating and salicylic acid are two widely used preserving methods for fruits vegetables in postharvest storage, but very limited research can be found on the application of chitosan‐enriched (CS–SA) fresh‐cut radishes. In this study, three variables (chitosan, acid, immersion time) responses (whiteness total bacterial count) were employed to optimize CS–SA process radishes using response surface methodology. The results showed that optimal was 1.0% chitosan 1.0 mM 1.8 min. effects major storage quality shelf‐life also investigated. Results indicated effectively delayed decrease whiteness, firmness, ascorbic phenolic content during storage. Meanwhile, significantly inhibited microbial growth extended up 12 days, much longer than those non‐ or NaClO‐treated ones with 6 8 respectively. This study suggests is an efficient alternative preservation radish products, underlying regulation mechanism delaying browning worth further exploration.

Fruit preservation after harvest is one of the key issues in current agriculture, rural areas, and for farmers. Using chitosan to keep fruits fresh, which can reduce harm caused by chemical preservative residue human health. It also helps avoid disadvantages high cost physical challenges associated with difficult operation. This review focuses on application progress fruit preservation. Studies have shown that inhibits growth bacteria fungi, delays aging decay. Furthermore, it regulate respiration physiological metabolism fruit, helping maintain its quality nutritional value. The mechanism includes antibacterial properties, film-forming effects processes fruit. However, practical applications, such as determining optimal concentration treatment still require further research optimization.

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and multiple mutations. Chemotherapy often associated with harmful side effects, cancer cells may become resistant through various mechanisms. New approaches, which are able to address both the toxicity resistance issues chemotherapy, primary importance in research. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), naturally occurring molecules innate immune system all living organisms, have wide spectrum cytotoxic activities against could be promising alternative actual chemotherapeutics. Here, we tested peptide fractions, rich AMPs, extracted from hemolymph larvae insect Hermetia illucens on HT29 HCT116 human colorectal cells, observing inhibition accumulation G2/M phase increased apoptosis. Furthermore, extract induced significant cytoskeleton reorganization, resulting reduced motility. These effects were more evident fractions obtained Escherichia coli-infected larvae.
