Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) fruits are characterised by a short shelf life. To extend the life, pre-storage hydrocooling is carried out to reduce their temperature before storing them in cold storage. During 2015 and 2016, treatment on of two sweet cultivars, 'Kordia' 'Regina', from orchards locality Trebinje, was performed. Samples both cultivars were subjected an automatic system at 0.9 ºC...

The effects of low partial pressures oxygen (pO2) on metabolism and fermentation-related gene expression 'Empire', 'Jonagold' and, 'Fuji' apples have been investigated. Fruit were stored in 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 kPa O2 (with 1 CO2) at 0.5 °C for up to 6 months. During storage the lowest internal ethylene concentrations observed ‘Empire’ ‘Fuji’, but pO2 did not affect those ‘Jonagold’. flesh firmness ‘F...

Bloom thinning is an important practice that influences the profitability of orchard. Hence, we assessed effect chemical bloom on efficiency and fruit quality ‘RubyS’ apples. Lime sulfur was applied as a agent at 1, 1 + 3, 2 4 days after full (DAFB), non-bloom trees were used controls. Compared to control treatments DAFB DAFB, application 3 greatly decreased number fruits per cluster in both te...

Oleaster-leafed pear (Pyrus elaeagrifolia Pall. subsp. elaeagrifolia) fruits are used for food and dietary supplements in Turkey, seedlings as rootstock cultivars. Information on the effect of genotypes oleaster-leafed fruit characteristics is needed order to optimize production quality supplements. The relative genetic background were evaluated from 16 wild grown at eastern Turkey. Genotype in...

Persimmon cv. Giombo is astringent at harvest and must be subjected to astringency removal treatment. To date, the most widespread treatment for this variety involves applying ethanol instead of high CO2 concentrations, which usual with other varieties. This study aims evaluate effect or concentrations as deastringency treatments on quality flesh structure ’Giombo´ persimmon during cold storage...

[1] Using the Integrated Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon Cycle model (InTEC), six simulations with different input scenarios of climate, CO2, and nitrogen (N) deposition are conducted to study the changes of soil carbon (C) content in Canada’s forests and wetlands during 1901–2000. Simulated total C stored in Canada’s forest and wetland soils is 164.5 Pg C and accounts for about 7% of the global t...

Abstract Visible and near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy is a non-destructive, fast, practical reliable technique to determine maturity quality attributes in apple fruit. However, the effects of cultivar growing conditions on predictive performance equipment must be determined before its commercial application industry. This study was carried out evaluate efficiency VIS-NIR portable spectromet...

This work is evidently an assiduous garnering of facts and figures as expounded during an extensive guided tour of penal instiutions. But a book about prison in which no single prisoner appears as a creature of flesh and blood is unmistakably a secondhand affair which cannot take much hold of what prison is all about. However, the material is wide-ranging, useful for reference and a guide to of...

to determine the phenolic content and antioxidant activity in some native iranian apple cultivars, some five cultivars namely: 'bekran', 'golab-e kermanshah', 'golab-e kohanz' 'golab-e sheikhi' and 'atlasi' were selected and compared with the standard cultivar 'gala'. the profiles related to four phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-galactoside, catechin, and phloridzin) were deter...

In the cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) industry, textural properties and firmness of fruit are priority traits for producing processed products, such as sweetened dried (SDC), which have gained popularity in recent years. However, there is currently no reliable methodology screening these breeding programs. this study, we examine key methodologies, traits, parameters, conditions that nec...
