native population of raspberry fruits (rubus spp) were treated with methyl jasmonate (mj) fumigation and were assayed for the antioxidant capacity, total anthocyanins and postharvest quality after 7 days storage at 4?c. the result of experiment revealed that berries treated with methyl jasmonate (mj) showed higher antioxidant capacity and total anthocyanins compared to the controled ones (non...

Mango is the third most important fruit in tropics due to its nutritional properties and delicious flavor. The exceptionally perishable climacteric nature, which decreases quality shelf-life. Preserving preventing losses during postharvest one of critical solutions sustaining human dietary demands. Postharvest treatments such as 1-Methylcyclopropene, edible coatings, hot water treatment have sh...

Chilling damage under 15ºC in anthurium cut flowers reduces the vase-life, quality and marketability of the product. In the present experiment, GABA postharvest treatment (0, 1 and 5 mM) was studied on the vase-life, total soluble solid (TSS), H2O2 content, proline content, spathe browning, catalase and superoxide dismutase enzymes activity of Anthurium andraeanum...

Ultralow oxygen (ULO) treatments with different oxygen levels, treatment times, and temperatures were studied to determine effects on western ower thrips mortality and postharvest quality of iceberg lettuce. Thrips mortality increased with reduced oxygen level and increased treatment ime and temperature. At 0.003% oxygen, over 99.6% mortality rates of thrips were achieved in three ULO treatment...

The ‘Crimson seedless’ grape encountered several difficulties during shelf life, including weight loss, rachis browning, and berry shattering. effect of exogenous pectin (PE) polyphenol alcohol (PVA) with supporting salicylic acid (SA) at different concentrations (0, 1, 2 mM) was applied. coating applied to bunches for 5 min stored room temperature (26 ± 1 °C RH 65 3%) 4 days. In this study, po...
