A data fusion strategy based on hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and electronic nose (e-nose) systems was developed in this study to inspect the postharvest ripening process of Hayward kiwifruit. The extracted features from e-nose HSI techniques, single or combined mode, were used develop machine learning algorithms. Performance evaluations proved that olfactory reflectance improves performance disc...

Background: The knowledge of oral health effects caused by long-term medication in medically compromised children is sparse. Besides the effects on salivary secretion, pharmacotherapy may also act directly on the dental hard tissues, with dental caries and/or erosive lesions as possible outcomes of their acid and fermentable sugar content. Methods: Thirteen pharmaceutical preparations commonly ...

Acidity is one of the main determinants taste and quality melon fruit, together with sugars volatilecompounds. The aim this study was to investigate inheritance hydrogen potential (pH) titratable acidity in fruit.A randomized block design three replications used evaluate F1and F2generations backcrosses (RC1and RC2) ofthe Védrantais (Cucumis melo subsp. var. reticulatus) high pH low acidity, AC-...

Background: Pineapple juice processing is an art of preservation, and the processing technologies play important role in pineapple juice quality. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the potential impacts of non-thermal processing methods on the physicochemical, bioactive, and microbiological properties of fresh pineapple juice. Methods: Extracted juices were subjected to several non-thermal...

Electrodialysis with monopolar ion exchange membranes was used to reduce the acid content of pineapple juice. It is an electrochemical membrane separation process in which electrically charged membranes and an electrical potential difference are used to separate ionic species in the pineapple juice from other uncharged components. Several physico-chemical (pH, titratable acidity and soluble sol...

Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) fruit is an important medicinal plant in Iran. The harvesting time is a crucial for jujube fruit quality. Several characteristics of jujube fruit when harvested at four development stages; white mature (light green), crisp mature (white-red), fully mature (red) and fully ripe (dehydrated brown) were evaluated. Fruit weight, diameter, volume, pulp to stone ratio, f...

This work aimed to evaluate granulation incidence and severity quality parameters of ‘Monte Parnaso’ navel orange in different harvest collection dates. The 2018 2019 harvests were evaluated, the dates 0, 15, 30, 45 days after commercial collection. evaluated severity, fruit weight, longitudinal transversal diameters, peel thickness, juice content, soluble solids titratable acidity, SS/TA ratio...

Pomegranate is a subtropical fruit that is widely consumed as fresh fruit and juice, however, its postharvest life is limited mainly due to storage disorders. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on antioxidant activity and quality attributes of pomegranate fruit. The fruits were dipped for two minutes into different NO concentrations (0, 30, 100, 300 or 1000 µ...
