physical properties are often required for designing post harvest handling and processing equipment for agricultural products. persimmon (khormandy cultivar) is rich in vitamin a, calcium, potassium, tannic acid and antioxidant phenolic compounds. in this study changes in the physical properties of persimmon fruit during storage were studied. properties such as fruit dimensions, mass, geometric...

Skin separation (puffiness) is a critical physiological disorder that significantly reduces the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) fruit’s visual appearance and quality. The objectives of this study were to analyze fruit anatomy in skin-separated normal (var. Mejhoul) assess microclimatic conditions (temperature relative humidity) during developmental stages their association with skin separati...

The pomological properties and nutritional values of walnuts vary according to the cultivars and ecological conditions. This study aims to determine some pomological properties and fatty acid compositions of some domestic ('Bilecik', 'Maraş 12', 'Maraş 18', 'Şebin', 'Şen1', 'Şen 2') and foreign walnut cultivars (‘Chandler', 'Fernette', 'Fernor', 'Howard', 'Pedro', 'Serr') grown in Bursa (northw...

At present, the fruit picking in most countries still largely relies on manual operation. Manual fruit picking can protect the fruits from damage during the operation process. However, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses a potential safety risk to the workers while working at heights not reachable. Therefore, a variety of fruit picking machines and platforms have been developed ...

Background: Jelebu is one of Negeri Sembilan districts Malaysia, famous for its wide variety D. zibethinus. It also recognized as the top hotspot area consumers looking genuine Durian Kampung. This study aimed at discovering and recording significant morphological data in identification classification zibethinus fruit Jelebu. Methods: Fifty-three accessions durian were observed from January 202...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fruit set in indeterminate plant species largely depends on the balance between source and sink strength. Plants of these species show fluctuations in fruit set during the growing season. It was tested whether differences in fruit sink strength among the cultivars explained the differences in fruit-set patterns. METHODS Capsicum was chosen as a model plant. Six cultivars w...

Abstract Tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) is an established model for studying plant cuticle because of its thick covering and embedding the epidermal cells fruit. In this study, we screened EMS mutant collection miniature tomato cultivar Micro-Tom fruit cracking mutants found a displaying glossy phenotype. By using mapping-by-sequencing strategy, identified causal mutation in SlSHN2 transcripti...

The response of chili (Capsicum annuum L.) to oriental fruit fly infestation (Bactrocera dorsalis) is highly variable among varieties. differences in the resistance level are presumed be determined by characteristics fruit. This study aims evaluate morphochemical different levels fruits field conditions. test was carried out at research station Indonesian Vegetable Research Institute (IVEGRI), ...

Fresh pistachio fruit cv. Kalleghochi was harvested from the exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy in four geographical directions. The fruit position in exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy has a significant influence on the number of nuts per ounce, pistachio splitting, hull weight, shell weight, kernel weight, colour indices and total anthocyanin content. Results indicated...

in this work, a hybrid gmdh–neural network model was developed in order to predict the moisture content of papaya slices during hot air drying in a cabinet dryer. for this purpose, parameters including drying time, slices thickness and drying temperature were considered as the inputs and the amount of moisture ratio (mr) was estimated as the output. exactly 50% of the data points were used for ...
