Phytochemicals in post-harvest flowers: biochemical pathways, degradation mechanisms and strategies for quality preservation
Phytochemistry Reviews is an international scientific journal specialising in reviews and perspectives on phytochemistry. It covers plant chemistry, the function and biosynthesis of plant compounds and applications in fields such as agriculture and industry. The journal is affiliated with the Phytochemical Society of Europe and the Phytochemical Society of North America.
The article Phytochemicals in post-harvest flowers: biochemical pathways, degradation mechanisms and strategies for quality preservation belongs to this journal and examines the role of phytochemicals in post-harvest flower physiology, the mechanisms responsible for quality degradation and natural strategies for preserving flower quality
The article examines how phytochemicals are involved in flower ageing and deterioration after harvest. It analyses compounds such as ethylene, reactive oxygen species, phenolics, flavonoids, carotenoids, anthocyanins and terpenoids, together with enzymes and phytohormones involved in senescence.
The review also examines natural alternatives to synthetic preservatives, particularly essential oils, plant extracts and bioactive metabolites. Its aim is to identify strategies capable of extending vase life, maintaining flower quality and reducing the environmental impact of post-harvest practices. The study synthesises more than 300 scientific publications.
