Postharvest Physiology of White Peaches Ripened at Various Temperatures

Calculation of MnO Activity in Aluminate Slags at Various Temperatures

In this research, the activity of MnO, produced during steel making in aluminate-rich slags, was investigated. According to thermodynamic equations and mathematical calculation, a series of relations was obtained for evaluation of oxide activity using Masson’s theory. The obtained relations were solved according to Levenberg- Marquardt method and using Matlab software. The results were correlat...

Control of rhizopus rot of peaches with postharvest

Rhizopus rot caused by Rhizopus stolonifer is a potentially serious postharvest 1 disease of Canadian-grown peaches. Several new fungicides are effective against brown rot 2 (Monilinia fructicola) of peaches, but little is known of their postharvest efficacies against R. 3 stolonifer. Harvested peaches were arranged in trays, individually punctured once and 4 co-treated with a suspension of bot...

Harvesting and Postharvest Handling of Peaches for the Fresh Market

Postharvest physiology and storage of ber

Purpose of review: This article reviews studies conducted on maturity indices, climacteric behaviour, artificial ripening, and preand postharvest treatments, which affect the shelf-life, packaging, storage and postharvest pathology of ber fruits. Findings: Ber fruits show climacteric respiration behaviour. Various maturity indices including colour, total soluble solids, harvesting date, days fr...
