Maturity-driven shifts in physicochemical, phytochemical and mineral composition of marula [Sclerocarya birrea (a. rich.) Hochst] fruit: a multivariate perspective on nutritional functionality

Approximately 50% of fruit is lost to postharvest spoilage due to the high metabolic rate of fresh produce. Reducing postharvest losses is crucial in eradicating hunger, reducing poverty and ensuring food security in line with Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 2. Understanding the optimal harvesting time for fruit is...
