abstract: edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (wpc) and gellan gum (g) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of malus domestica cv golab apples. wpc and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (gly) were tested. postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

Mango and mangosteen are commercially important tropical fruits with a short shelf life. Fruit processing is one of the alternatives to extend life these fruits. Purée processed products fresh fruit. In this research, quality mango purée was analyzed. Titratable acidity (TA) total soluble solids (TSS) were predicted using non-destructive near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. A partial least squares...

Anti-insect photoselective nets present a new technology that combines light manipulation and pest protection in orchards. In this study, the effect of anti-insect red net on generative vegetative traits was studied an apple orchard near city Zadar, Croatia. 'Granny Smith' apples were grown M9 rootstock raised as slender spindles. The experiment consisted two treatments: trees covered with (AGR...

Over the past decade, business of producing juice from grapes (Vitis labrusca L. and hybrids) has been expanding in response to increasing consumption encouraged by campaigns promoting benefits grape can have on health. This study aimed determine effect production cycle, vine training system, rootstock yield physical physical-chemical characteristics ‘BRS Magna’ grown Vale do Submédio São Franc...

Improvement in physical and biochemical properties of fruits through cross-pollination is a highly variable phenomenon. It mainly depends on the species pollinator nature crop being pollinated. therefore imperative to quantify relative pollination effectiveness an insect for certain species. In present study, two native bees (i.e., Apis dorsata A. florea) syrphid flies Eristalinus aeneus Eupeod...

effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of f1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon hi-u 16 was examined. in this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. the plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. fruit weight, diam...

Objective: This study was performed to determine the effects of two girdling practices on yield and some pomological properties persimmon trees in 2019.
 Material Methods: The gridling were applied Hachia variety, common Çanakkale, as single girdling, double control. Girdling treatments after full blossom trees. Fruit variety determined. weight, fruit width, size, skin colour (L, a, b), pH...

Two probiotic bacteria (Lb. acidophilus and B. lactis) were immobilized on the alginate coat of strawberry pieces and were added to the prepared sweet non fat dietary stirred yogurt. Physico-chemical parameters namely pH value, titratable acidity and synersis along with the viability of probiotic bacteria of the samples were evaluated over the 8 days of storage at 5 ºC at 2 day intervals. A sig...
