The current paper presents the coating of harvested strawberries with edible nanoparticles Chitosan. NPs were formed by application ultrasonic waves on an acidic solution chitosan. In a one-step process created and subsequent to their formation they deposited surface. shelf life coated was compared deposition same amount non-sonicated chitosan, i.e., individual chitosan molecules fruit. charact...

abstract having no exact knowledge of most appropriate harvesting time in kiwifruit grown in different regions of guilan province, as well as the low storage longevity of the fruits are the most important factors causing considerable reduction in both marketability and export affairs. in this study, the influence of fruit quality in term of harvesting time on the postharvest quality and food va...

Growth substrates (polyester wool, rice husk, and wheat straw), along with soil as control treatment, were compared for vegetative growth, yield, quality of strawberry cv. Chandler. All growth tested showed good results in terms rate control. Strawberry plants grown polyester wool the highest (89.50%) survival to husk (70.50%), straw (64.63%), (67.56%). Moreover, a significant increase was obse...

to determine the effects of pre-harvest salicylic acid (sa) treatments on postharvest life and quality of apricot fruits, four different concentrations (one, 1.5, three and 4.5 mm) were applied six days before harvesting of apricot fruits cv. ‘shamlou’. fruits harvested at commercial maturity stage and stored at 2ºc with 90 percent rh on the same day for a period of three weeks. the fruit was e...

Breeding technologies exploiting marker-assisted selection have accelerated the of new cross-bred pathogen-resistant grapevine varieties. Several genotypes been patented and admitted to cultivation; however, while their tolerance fungal diseases has object several in vitro field studies, productive fruit composition traits during ripening are still poorly explored, especially warm sites. In thi...

the field experiment was conducted to study the effect of soil moisture tension and potassium on growth and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of thomson navel orange on citrumelo rootstock in kotra citrus research station in ten years (1998-2009). the experiment was designed for four replications in randomized complete blocks with factorial treatment structure. the factors consisted ...

The application of lanthanum modified bentonite (Phoslock®) and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is popular in the restoration European temperate lakes; however, effects on concentrations phosphorus (P) both water sediments have been poorly evaluated to date. We studied Phoslock® + PAC total (TP), particulate (PP), soluble reactive (SRP), suspended solids (TSS) chlorophyll a (Chla) water, different...

Modified atmosphere packaging and refrigeration of fruits vegetables are used to extend their shelf life. The objective this research was evaluate quality variables in avocado (Persea americana Mill.) cv. "Hass" during storage modified (MAP) at 8 °C contrast them those obtained room temperature (RT) (REF). Fruits physiological maturity were stored MAP bags with a thickness 0.20 mm. A completely...

Hyperspectral imaging offers enormous potential for measuring grape composition with a high degree of representativity, allowing all exposed grapes from the cluster to be examined non-destructively. On-the-go hyperspectral images were acquired using push broom camera (400–100 nm) that was mounted in front part motorized platform moving at 5 km/h commercial Tempranillo vineyard La Rioja, Spain. ...

This research was conducted in the Post-Harvest Laboratory of Horticulture Department, Faculty Agriculture, Zagazig University, Egypt, during two seasons 2019 and 2020 to study effect dipping cherry tomatoes fruits solutions edible materials on quality storability storage at 7±2°C 90 ± 3% relative humidity for 28 days. Where were dipped chitosan nano particles (ChNPs) solution 0.5 1 %, Arabic g...
