Method for detecting synthesis capability of carotenoid in fruit

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting the synthesis capability of carotenoid in a fruit. According to the method, lycopene cyclase inhibitor, namely CPTA, is adopted for treating the fruit to be detected, degradation of the carotenoid in the fruit is blocked so that the carotenoid can be accumulated in the form of lycopene, and the capability of the fruit for synthesizing the carotenoid can be evaluated objectively by detecting the lycopene. The method is generally applicable to various fruits such as peaches, apricots and apples.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a detection method of fruit biological ability, in particular to a detection method of carotenoid synthesis ability in fruit. Background technique [0002] Carotenoids are a general term for a class of important natural pigments, and nearly 800 natural carotenoids have been discovered so far. Carotenoids are important substances that affect the survival of animals and plants and human health. Carotenoids and their derivatives can participate in the formation of human vision, improve human immunity, reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and protect human reproductive development. Fruits usually have the ability to synthesize carotenoids. Eating fruits is also one of the main ways for the human body to obtain carotenoids. Accurately detecting the carotenoids synthesis ability in fruits is of great significance for evaluating the health function of fruits on the human body and cultivating new varieties of fruits. important ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The ability of different fruits to synthesize carotenoids is different. Some fruits can synthesize a large amount of carotenoids and accumulate in the fruit. Although some fruits have strong carotenoid synthesis ability, the carotenoids synthesized in the fruit Continuous degradation makes the accumulation amount smaller, and some fruits have weak carotenoid synthesis ability, and the accumulation amount of carotenoids in the fruit is also small

In this way, when the fruit is directly detected and the carotenoid content in the fruit is found to be small, it is often difficult to determine whether the carotenoid synthesis ability of the fruit itself is weak or caused by degradation. brings difficulties

For fruits with only a small amount of carotenoid accumulation, there is currently no detection method that can effectively reveal the true synthesis ability of carotenoids
