Special Issue: Fruit Quality and Healthy Nutrition
Fleshy fruit is the most important type of horticultural product, playing an irreplaceable role in the improvement of dietary structure, the balance of nutrition, and the intake of physiological active substances such as vitamins in daily life. Fruit quality is the core of the current and future horticultural industry’s healthy development and market competitiveness. Research on the quality of horticultural products has made breakthrough progress in the aspects of fruit color, acidity and bitter taste, etc.; these studies include structural analysis of functional components, functional identification of genes in their biosynthetic pathways, as well as transcriptional or translational regulation of structural genes and the roles of functional components on human health. In this Special Issue, articles that focus on fruit quality and healthy nutrition including reliable paths to detect, identify, quantify, characterize and monitor quality and safety issues occurring in fleshy fruits are of great interest.
