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...

to determine the effects of pre-harvest salicylic acid (sa) treatments on postharvest life and quality of apricot fruits, four different concentrations (one, 1.5, three and 4.5 mm) were applied six days before harvesting of apricot fruits cv. ‘shamlou’. fruits harvested at commercial maturity stage and stored at 2ºc with 90 percent rh on the same day for a period of three weeks. the fruit was e...

The effect of processing on the biochemical contents of Acanthus montanus leaves was investigated. The moisture, crude protein, lipid, fiber, ash, and total carbohydrate contents of the raw vegetable were 59.15, 1.85, 2.32, 3.76, 2.04, and 34.65 g/100 g, respectively. The saponin, alkaloid, tannin, flavonoid, phenol, and anthocyanin contents of the raw vegetable were 5.35, 4.04, 1.10, 3.53, 2.8...

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...

ABSTRACT In this research, increasing doses of nitrogen (8-16-24-32 kg N da-1) and potassium (0-8-16-24-32-40 K2O fertilizers were applied to Hayward kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) determine their effects on the yield some fruit quality characteristics. The research was started in a kiwi orchard established 2004 Ordu, vegetation period 2015-2016, carried out randomized block design with 4 repl...

harvesting of sour cherries is very difficult task which is done either by machine or hand. in order to facilitate fruits harvesting ethephone with different densities is used. in this research work iranian produced ethephone with density of 1.18 g/cm3 and england produced ethephone with density of 1.45 g/cm3 was utilized with different concentration (0, 150, 225 and 300) in a 2×4 factorial exp...

We evaluated in vitro the cariogenic and erosive potential of antitussive liquid oral medications for paediatric use. Fifteen paediatric liquid antitussives were sampled. The endogenous pH was evaluated by potentiometry, titratable acidity was measured according to the method adopted by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists, total soluble solids content (TSSC) readings were performed ...

A detailed study was carried out with the postharvest mangoes (namely, the Langra and the Khirshapat) treated with different levels of Bavistin DF (BDF) solution (namely, 250, 500, and 750 ppm) for obtaining results on biochemical changes as well as storability of postharvest mango. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replicates. The results of the experim...

Storage of ‘Fuji’ apple fruit in a high CO2 (3 kPa) and low O2 (1.5 kPa) controlled atmosphere (CA) reduced firmness and titratable acidity (TA) loss during long term storage. This CA environment also induced development of internal CO2-injury (brown-heart) and slowed the disappearance of watercore. The symptoms of internal CO2-injury were first detected 15 days after CA establishment and the s...
