Physical properties of fruits and vegetables are the subject of many researches because of its importance in designing of agricultural machinery. Banana fruit is one of important fruit. In this study some physical properties of banana fruit (Cavendish variety) were determined. Properties which were measured included weight of whole fruit peel and pulp weight, dimensions, surface area and projec...

Ripening agents can accelerate the ripening of fruits and maintain a similar appearance to naturally ripe fruits, but fruit flavor quality will be changed compared fruits. To find an efficient detection method distinguish whether crab apples were artificial ripened, artificially detected analyzed using electronic nose (e-nose) technique in this study. The indexes samples determined by tradition...

Currently, image processing-based systems have been widely applied in various fields, one of which is agriculture. The system can be used to classify fruit maturity. Tomato the agricultural products consumed by community. Therefore, requirement for ripe tomatoes increases. In this work, classification method based on processing grading maturity level tomato was developed distinguish into three ...

The effect of harvesting stages (mature green, half-ripe and full ripe) storage conditions (zero energy cool chamber, wooden box underground storage) on post-harvest quality sensory acceptability mango fruit was evaluated. Three were harvested 10 kg stored in three until the end period. Spoilage weight loss recorded from three-day intervals. All samples analyzed for Post-harvest before after at...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Herbaceous-shrubby communities in the Gran Sabana (Great Savanna) Plateau of Venezuela grow under non-zonal conditions. We speculated that this would produce specific patterns of reproductive phenology within these different soil-climate-vegetation associations. Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that the reproductive phenology patterns of four herbaceous-shrubby communi...
