Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The present study showed the effect of chitosan and selenium on membrane lipids and fatty acids of guava fruits during storage. The fruits were treated with selenium (0.02 ppm), chitosan (1.5%), and a combination of both and stored at room temperature (20 ± 2°C) and low temperature (5 ± 2°C). The membrane integrity was assessed by analyzing lipid constituents and fatty acids. Moreover, the activity of lipoxygenase was also determined. The total lipids were decreased in correlation with a reduction of polar and nonpolar lipids. In addition, unsaturation index of fatty acids also decreased by 3.7% and 8.9% at low and room temperatures, respectively. The treated fruits showed reduced lipid peroxidation as indicated by 21% lower activity of lipoxygenase enzyme. However, fruits stored at low temperature maintained 18% more lipids. The combined treatment of selenium and chitosan with low temperature storage was effective in the protection of membrane integrity.
