Introduction to Persimmon Fruits

In this study, Pachyrhynchus eggs were embedded in small pieces of persimmon fruits (Diospyros kaki) and fed to captive frugivorous birds.

It has been established that the concentration of ascorbic acid in technical persimmon fruits is 19,8-56,3 mg / 100 g, and in mature fruits it is 70-85% lower (5,08-8,96 mg / 100 g).

The paper shows a short review of main useful properties of persimmon fruits, methods of their processing and practical use in formulations of different food production types.

The phenotypic traits evaluated in this work can be used in future breeding programs for elite persimmon fruits.

Persimmon fruits should be initially quite hard, so that they can not only be easily peeled, but also fastened with a strong rope for the closely adjacent stems and dried for a month or two under a canopy.

Spoilage caused by microbial contamination in dried persimmon fruits processed by traditional frosting often leads to considerable economic losses.

In this work we have efficiently extracted and characterized pectin from different tissues of astringent (AS) and non-astringent (NAS) persimmon fruits (peel, pulp, whole fruit) for the first time.

To identify Colletotrichum species associated with persimmon anthracnose in the highlands of Southern Brazil, 34 isolates were analyzed by ITS-rDNA partial region, GAPDH, and TUB2 partial gene sequences, morphological characteristics, and virulence on persimmon fruits and leaves.

A central composite design was used to evaluate the effect of different extraction parameters and ripeness stages of persimmon fruits on the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of the resulting extracts.

A biochemical analysis of the fruits of the main assortment of Eastern persimmon fruits was performed, which showed that the Hachia variety was distinguished by the dry matter content, the amount of sugars and vitamin C (19.

Most of the cultivated persimmon fruits belong to the astringent type, which require postharvest astringency removal to reach edible quality.

‘Chosi’ persimmon fruits were harvested in Sept.

Persimmon fruits ( Diospyros kaki L.

A-type EGCG dimer is a new proanthocyanidins dimer from persimmon fruits.

The persimmon fruits were harvested at maturity stage and divided into three groups: control without any pre-treatments, pre-treatment with 2% sucrose after slicing, and treatment with CO2 before slicing in order to remove astringency.

In this study, the symptoms of anthracnose in persimmon fruits and trees in China, and the morphological characteristics of C.
