Induced cells of Rhodococcus rhodochrous DAP 96253, when placed in the proximity of climacteric fruit (peaches, bananas, avocados) delay the ripening of the fruit. Examination of the delayed ripening shows that the induced cells possess multiple mechanisms that have the potential to impact the Yang Cycle in climacteric plants and processes such as volatile flavor and fragrance compounds related...

In order to promote standard Feicheng peaches production, based on long-term research and integrated achievements of many disciplines on Feicheng peach, following the standard of localization, characteristic and non-pollution, adopting the knowledge engineering, and using PAID (Platform for Agricultural Intelligence-system Development), the expert system of nonpollution Feicheng peach productio...

Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the growth curve “Aurora 1” peaches using fruit height and diameter data over time through diphasic sigmoidal models constructed from eight combinations following models: Brody, Gompertz Logistic. Data were obtained an experiment carried out in 2005 municipality Vista Alegre do Alto, São Paulo, Brazil. parameters adjusted by least squares method Ga...

Abstract To date, about two dozen low-mass embedded protostars exhibit rich spectra with lines of complex organic molecules (COMs). These seem to possess a different enrichment in COMs. However, the statistics COM abundance are limited by scarcity observations. This study introduces Perseus ALMA Chemistry Survey (PEACHES), which aims at unbiasedly characterizing chemistry COMs toward (Class 0/I...

The ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method was used to optimize the extraction of phenolic compounds from pumpkins and peaches. The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to study the effects of three independent variables each with three treatments. They included extraction temperatures (30, 40 and 50°C), ultrasonic power levels (30, 50 and 70%) and extraction times (10, 20 and 30 mi...

Amygdalin contents of the seeds, endocarps, and mesocarps from three peach cultivars (i.e., Stone Peach, Hikawa Hakuho, and Bakhyang) were measured at three stages of fruit development (stone-hardening, fruit enlargement, and ripening). The peach samples were dried and defatted with a Soxhlet apparatus, reflux extracted with methanol, and analyzed using reverse phase high-performance liquid chr...

Climacteric fruit such as peaches are stored in cold chambers after harvest and usually maintained there until the desired ripening is reached to direct these market. Producers, food industries or traders have difficulties defining period when at highest level of quality by consumers terms physical-chemical parameters (hardness –H–, soluble solids content –SSC–, acidity –Ac–). The evolution pea...

To evaluate potential alternatives to conventional fungicides to control decay, more than 20 food additives and generally regarded as safe compounds were tested at three concentrations in in vivo primary screenings with several cultivars of California peaches, nectarines, and plums that had been artificially inoculated with seven major postharvest pathogens: Monilinia fructicola, Botrytis ciner...

this specialty fruit and was responsive to the industry need for reliably tested freestone varieties. A sequence of similar varieties over a period as long as for peaches is envisioned. As was true with peaches, main crop apricot varieties were static for many years. As a consequence, the varieties, mostly of European origin, became less well suited to changing market demands. Commercial drying...
