An overview is presented with regard to applications of visible and near infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy, multispectral imaging and hyperspectral imaging techniques for quality attributes measurement and variety discrimination of various fruit species, i.e., apple, orange, kiwifruit, peach, grape, strawberry, grape, jujube, banana, mango and others. Some commonly utilized chemometrics including...

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) is known as an indicator of quality deterioration in a wide range of foods. The current study covered 70 samples taken from domestically produced foods and drinks available on the Iranian markets (including honey, jam, fruit cakes tomato paste, ketchup, syrup, fruit juice, canned fruit, UHT milk, instant coffee and jelly powder). HMF levels were determined using ...

Jujube is a characteristic light-demanding fruit tree, but quality frequently degraded because of the weak light in protected cultivation facilities south China. In this study, black shade net was used to set three intensities artificially: no shading (0%, control, NS), moderate (45%, MS), and severe (76%, SS) investigate effect low on sugar metabolism jujube. Compared with NS, chlorophyll caro...

Biology, incidence and morphometrics of the ber fruit fly Carpomyia vesuviana Costa were studied on Indian jujube Ziziphus mauritiana Lamark. The observations revealed that female laid its eggs in cavities made by ovipositor, just beneath skin fruit. small, elongate, spindle shaped creamy white. duration lifestages (in days) were- egg 1.90, maggot 8.75, prepupal 4.43 (hr), pupal 8.40, adult lon...

‘Lingwu Changzao’ (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Lingwuchangzao), a cultivar of Ziziphus in the Rhamnaceae family, is traditional jujube Ningxia, China. For Changzao’, morphological traits are prominent characterizing fruit yield, quality, and consumer acceptance. However, measurements for cultivation limited. Therefore, objective this study to measure growing patterns selected during development. ...

Blackened jujube, as an emerging fruit processed product, was obtained from red jujube by a blackening processing of Maillard reaction with high humidity and temperature. This study to compare the volatile compounds (VOCs) fatty acids (FAs) between jujubes (RJs) blackened (BJs) six cultivars (JZ, MZ, JSXZ, HZ, YHDZ TZ) using headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrom...

AIM The present study was undertaken to evaluate the ameliorative potential of dried Moringa oleifera fruit powder in fluorosis affected calves reared around the vicinity of aluminium smelter plant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Total 107 calves were screened on the basis of clinical signs and higher plasma fluoride (more than 0.2 ppm) level for evidence of fluorosis. Out of that, 90 samples found po...

The mechanization of red jujube industry is a high-potential agricultural research field in China. In this study, vibration harvesting device has been developed for trees that features adjustable frequency and amplitude. designed to make vibrate with varying diameters by utilizing different frequencies amplitudes according the tree’s size such jujubes can be harvested efficiently. study complet...
