However, the influence of harvest time on juice flavor chemicals is not well documented, with the exception of sugars and acids. Therefore, we investigated the major flavor chemicals, volatile (aroma), non-volatile (taste) and mouth feel attributes, in the two harvest seasons (March to June in 2007 and February to May in 2012). Bitter limonoid compounds, limonin and nomilin, decreased gradually. Out of a total of 94 volatiles, 32 increased, 47 peaked mid to late season, and 15 decreased. Juice insoluble solids and pectin content increased over the season; however, pectin methylesterase activity remained unchanged. Fruit harvested in the earlier months had lower flavor quality. Juice from later harvests had a higher sugar/acid ratio with less bitterness, while, many important aroma compounds occurred at the highest concentrations in the middle to late season, but occurred at lower concentrations at the end of the season.

Cannabis products were made illegal in most of the world in the early 1900s, but regulations have recently been relaxed or lifted in some jurisdictions, notably Canada and parts of the United States. Cannabis is usually grown for the resin produced in trichomes on the flowers of female plants. The major components of that resin are isoprenoids: cannabinoids, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. Terpene profiles in cannabis flowers can vary widely between cultivars.

  • Development of a New Platform Technology for Plant Cytochrome P450 Fusions
    Development of a new platform technology for plant Cytochrome P450 fusions Julia Schückel PhD Thesis University of York Department of Biology January 2012 ABSTRACT Abstract To date more than 15000 Cytochromes P450 have been identified and named so far, with one third belonging to the plant kingdom. This is a key biochemical resource, providing a wealth of biocatalysts covering a diverse range of chemistries. Characterisation, however, has been greatly hindered by the poor solubility of many P450s, a result of the membrane anchoring region common to all plant P450s. Fusions of plant P450 heme domains to an appropriate reductase without the hydrophobic membrane anchor could provide the basis for developing robust, soluble plant enzyme systems for substrate screens to discover novel activities that are also of benefit to industry. In this project, the two predominantly expressed Arabidopsis reductases ATR1 and ATR2 have been cloned, without the membrane anchor, and expressed in Escherichia coli. These two truncated enzymes have been purified and assessed for activity with ATR2 found to be more active than ATR1. ATR2 was chosen for engineering into a novel plant P450 reductase vector platform for high throughput applications, whereby the P450s can be easily and quickly swapped using ligation independent cloning techniques. Four different plant P450s (CYP93C1, CYP73A5, CYP82E4 and CYP81D8) were selected to validate this technology, and activity for the fusions of CYP93C1 (Isoflavone synthase I from Glycine max) and CYP73A5 (cinnamate-4-hydroxylase from Arabidopsis) with ATR2 have been shown. The presence of CYP73A5 fused to ATR2 was verified through purification and further studies showed that it has to be membrane associated for activity.
