Quality characteristics of tomato fruit will be affected by a number preand post harvest factors. In this study, the effect of maturity stage on post harvest quality characteristics of tomato was investigated. Tomato fruits of the same farmers‟ variety were harvested at mature-green, medium ripe and full-ripe stages. After harvesting, tomato samples were sliced and homogenized in blender for pr...

Phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting nutrients for growth and development crops, important soil fertility managements, since it affects quality fruits. With hypothesis that different levels irrigation phosphorus fertilization interfere in physical physicochemical properties tomatoes, objective this experiment was to verify analyze behavior fruits’ responses. The conducted a greenhouse at ...

BAL, E. and S. CELIK, 2010. The effects of postharvest treatments of salicylic acid and potassium permanganate on the storage of kiwifruit. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 576-584 Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) was used to investigate the effects of salicylic acid (0.5 mM, 1 mM) and potassium permanganate treatments on fruit quality and storage life during storage for two years. After tr...

To test the hypothesis that amino acid residues in band 3 with titratable positive charges play a role in the binding of anions to the outside-facing transport site, we measured the effects of changing external pH (pH(O)) on the dissociation constant for binding of external iodide to the transport site, K(O)(I). K(O)(I) increased with increasing pH(O), and a significant increase was seen even a...

The objective of this study was to evaluate irrigation levels in tomato crops, using economical beds with mulch. A randomized block design within a split-plot had run 2 x 5 factorial treatment scheme structure, four replications. plots were the five (50, 75, 100, 125, and 150%) crop Evapotranspiration (ETc), subplots two varieties RASTEIRO RIO GRANDE (RR) (Lycopersicon lycopersicum) CALINE IPA-...

In this research the effect of application of different levels of folic acid and time on some quality and agronomic characteristics of strawberry (cultivar Paros) was investigated. The plants were treated by folic acid with concentrations of 0, 20 and 40 mM at two stages (30 days after planting and first blooming) as a factorial experiment using a randomized complete block design with four repl...

Sweet cherry fruit of the cultivar ‘Kordia’ derived from trees growing on GiSelA 5®, Colt and Mazzard F12/1 rootstocks were harvested at stage consumption maturity stored for three weeks in control atmosphere – CA (20% CO2 3% O2, RH 90%, 2 ±0.5°C), modified packaging MAP (2–4% CO2, 13–18% 2°C ± 0.5°C) air AA (RH 80%, ±0.5°C). The had a significant effect all tested quality parameters directly a...

Satsuma (Rize) Mandarin is Türkiye's most widely produced and exported mandarin variety. Due to its early ripeness seedlessness, (Citrus unshiu Marc.) a popular citrus fruit in domestic foreign markets. The present study was conducted at Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department Horticulture 2020-2021 determine the shelf-life genotypes obtained as result clonal selecti...

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% ...
