Background: Hyperspectral image analysis is a fast and non-destructive technique that is being used to measure quality attributes of food products. This research investigated the feasibility of predicting internal quality attributes, such as Total Soluble Solids (TSS), pH, Titratable Acidity (TA), and maturity index (TSS/TA); and external quality attributes such as color components (L*, a*, b*)...

effect of different amounts of sulfur fertilizer (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) and 200 kg/ha of thiobacillus inoculant on yield, quality and storability of two edible onion cultivars red rey and white qom were investigated. the experiments were conducted at experimental field and laboratories of the department of horticulture, seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran in 2007-08 cro...

UNLABELLED The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) and calcium lactate on maintaining textural and sensory quality of fresh-cut "Kent" and "Tommy Atkins" mangos and determination of treatments preferred by consumers were investigated. Mango cubes (1.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm) were subjected to different CaCl2 and calcium lactate concentrations (0 M, 0.068 M, 0.136 M, 0.204 M) and dip times (0, 1, 2.5, ...

Ethylene plays an important role in kiwifruit ripening. However, it is unclear whether there are differences ethylene production different parts of during postharvest Kiwifruit were treated with 0.5 μL L−1 1-MCP for 12 h at 20°C and stored 20 ± 1°C. The results showed the firmness, soluble sugar, total solids (TSS), AcACS1 AcETR2 gene expressions highest core, starch, AcACO2, AcACO3 seedless pu...

Coating is one of the methods to prevent postharvest loss in food industry. Propolis seems be promising as a coating due its waxy properties, high antifungal activity and less toxicity. In this study, propolis ethanol extract were tested for against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, causative fungus that caused anthracnose disease on banana (Musa acuminata). All samples artificially inoculated wi...

Abstract Background Semi-processed pomegranates are increasingly being used around the world. Due to their perishability, however, arils currently have a limited supply and distribution. The treatment of with zinc denak essential oil (DEO) can assist in reducing growth pathogens contribute an increase storage life. Since is nutritionally valuable, experiment involved immersing 0.8% sulfate (ZnS...

The demand for fruits with high anthocyanin content, such as blueberries, has increased in recent years due to their health benefits. However, few studies are known on the postharvest behavior of blueberry subjected application plant extracts and acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM). objective this research was investigate effect ASM vegetable (mint coriander) organoleptic characteristics stored at 16°C ...

This study evaluated the effects of four different gibberellin-pastes (GAP) on fruit quality and storability niitaka pear in 2014 2015 consecutive years. Pear stalks were treated with dongbu GA gold, nebaekeo, busa, hyeophwa-pastes at 35 37 days after full bloom, respectively. After harvest time, fruits stored 0°C for up to 180 days. In both years, weight was 6.2-21.3% higher GAP-treated than c...

Abstract Edible coating CMCS/PVA/Cur and films were prepared using γ-irradiation to extend the shelf-life of sweet orange "Valencia" fruits. Water-soluble CMCS was synthesized by carboxymethylation chitosan. Extraction curcumin from turmeric powder conversion Cur-NPs 76–108 nm average size achieved. membranes via casting method gamma-irradiation technique. The chemical properties studied FTIR X...

This study evaluated the effect of adding ginger flour on storage stability soymilk. Fresh rhizome was processed to by oven drying (OD), sun (SD) and ambient (AD).The were incorporated into soymilk at 1 g 2 levels, respectively obtain spiced soymilk, which stored for 21 days. The chemical composition microbiological load determined. pH ranged from 6.6 4.7. values decreased as time progressed. T...
