Pomegranate fruit is very popular due to its high commercial importance and health benefits. This experiment aimed evaluate the sensory quality, color, biochemical properties (TSS, TA, TSS/TA, anthocyanin content total antioxidant capacity) of pomegranate under post-harvest treatments, included ethanol (EtOH), sodium bicarbonate (SBC), different packaging. Experimental treatments included: 10% ...

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure (COP) is an important determinant in edema formation. Three methods for assessing the COP were evaluated. Direct measurement of COP using the 4420 Wescor Colloid Osmometer was compared to the estimation of COP from both serum total protein and total serum solids (TSS) determinations. Blood samples from twenty adult patients (mean age = 64 years) undergoing card...

This study investigates the effect of Zinc and Boron on growth, yield, quality Cherry tomatoes. [Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme (Alef.) Fosberg] cv. ‘Pusa Cherry-1’ in Prayagraj, India.The purpose is to evaluate plants terms various parameters such as plant height, number branches, spread, days first flowering, 50% fruit setting, picking, flowers per cluster, set fruits plant, weight, to...

The effect of fig freezing in sugar solution on fig’s quality and sensory traits as well phenolic content during storage was examined. Fresh figs were frozen without any treatment (control - CON), sucrose (30%) (SUC) with ascorbic acid (2%) (SUCAA), stored at -18 ⁰C for 210 days. Samples analyzed every seventy days pH, total soluble solids (TSS), sugars phenolics composition, skin pulp color, t...

Under certain conditions, pulsed electric fields (PEF) can promote the accumulation of phytochemicals through a stress-mediated response in plant tissues. Likewise, electropermeabilization cell membranes also improve extraction intracellular compounds. The objective this study was to evaluate main causes driving increase carotenoids content PEF-treated carrots and impact those treatments on the...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of the combined use of rain shelters (rs) and deficit irrigation (di) on tomato yield and quality characteristics. two experiments with different treatments were conducted in the southern china during the growing season in 2011 and 2012. the crops were irrigated to field capacity once average soil water content at the 0-60 cm layer in the treatm...

in the present research, effects of modified atmosphere packaging (map) includingthree gas combinations and two packaging films (low density polyethylene (ldpe) andpolypropylene (pp)) on postharvest quality and storage-life of 'elberta' peach wereevaluated. the study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on crd(completely randomized design) with three replicates for 9 weeks. f...

Textile dye industry waste is one of the most serious problems in the environment. The dye wastes are severely deleterious to surface water bodies. The present study was an attempt for the assessment of different physicochemical parameters such as pH, temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Solids (TS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), ...

The current paper presents the coating of harvested strawberries with edible nanoparticles Chitosan. NPs were formed by application ultrasonic waves on an acidic solution chitosan. In a one-step process created and subsequent to their formation they deposited surface. shelf life coated was compared deposition same amount non-sonicated chitosan, i.e., individual chitosan molecules fruit. charact...

In order to improve the resistance of apples stresses (abiotic stresses) during hot and dry summers enhance their productivity marketability, Anna apple trees were treated with aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), 1-methlcyclopropene (1-MCP), naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), alone, or in combination, two successive seasons. All treatments significantly increased yield per tree, average fruit volume, di...
