This study was carried out on the effectiveness of calcium chloride (CaCl2) treatments on the post harvest quality of peach fruits during cold storage at 10oC and 75 ± 5% RH. Different solutions of CaCl2 such as 1% (T1), 2% (T2) and 3% (T3) were prepared and the fruits were dipped for five minutes, while (To) was left with out calcium chloride treatment as control. The fruits were packed in cor...

increasing product marketability and introduction of new cultivars for fresh consumption of apple is the world's most important breeding objectives. in this study, the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the genotypes from cross between red spur and golab-e-kohanz apple cultivars were evaluated. a total of 19 traits including fruit attributes (firmness, fruit weight,...) and th...

abstract evaluation of pomological characteristics can be useful in selection of best cultivars for commercial purposes. during this project, seven cultivars of sweet cherry including five cultivars from hungary (‘stella’, ‘sunburst’, ‘germesdorf’, ‘summit’ and ‘subima’) and two control cultivars (‘cillage blamarka’ and ‘siahmashad’) were studied by completely rondomized blocks design with thre...

Knowledge of physical characteristics of Malaysian variety pomelo fruits are necessary for the design of some post harvesting, processing systems such as cleaning, handling, grading and packaging system. For proper development of pomelo grading systems, important relationships between the mass and some physical characteristics of pomelo fruits such as length, width, thickness, surface area, pro...

The main aim of this investigation was to characterize new kiwi fruit cultivars after cold storage treatment and to determine the similarities and differences between them, using spectroscopic methods. The chemometric comparison of kiwi fruit cultivars based on physicochemical indices during cold storage was carried out. All kiwi fruit cultivars showed a high level of correlation between the co...

ABSTRACT Tomato fruits are highly perishable. In this sense, adopting techniques to maintain and extend its shelf life is essential. Recent studies have used microalgae as an edible coating for fruit, it a nutrient-rich alternative reduces fruit mass loss respiration, delaying senescence. The aim of study was evaluate the application microalgae-based coatings with or without use modified atmosp...

cross pollination in some of apples cultivar exists; also iran is near the origin of apple trees so, large genetic diversity can be seen between iranian cultivar. also very famous apple cultivar is known in iran for special flavor and taste. the name of this cultivar is golab. this research was studied in the years 2010 and 2011 in khorasan razavi province on golab apple ecotypes to evaluate ch...
