oxalate soluble pectin (osp) is related to fruit firmness with respect to the chelation of calcium ions with carboxyl groups of adjacent polyuronide chains. this study was carried out to explore the effect of time of fruit harvest, foliar spray with cacl2 during growing season on osp, polygalacturonase activity (pga), fruit firmness and the effects on fruit shelf life, quality and internal ...

This project work focuses on the comparison of engineering properties Pyrus communis under solar and air-drying method. Green samples wood were dried simultaneously in both kiln open air for 15 days. The daily moisture content reduction (%MC) drying conditions observed recorded. Mechanical tests (shear strength, compressive hardness tensile strength) conducted. results showed that air-dried woo...
