A study of 13 grapevine cultivars was carried out in a vineyard located near Krakow (Poland) in order to identify the most suitable grapevine cultivars for cool climate regions. The vines’ vigour, yield and the yield efficiency index were studied in the years 2010-2013. The grapes were analysed to determine soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity, total polyphenol content (TPC) as well...

The probiotic juice is one of the newest innovation opportunities in various kinds of healthy drinkꞌs business. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of banana pureeꞌs on survival of Lactobacillus casei and physicochemical and sensory properties of cocktail juice containing apples and bananas juice during storage. The amounts of banana puree were added in 3 levels (7% and 15%) to appl...

Prickly pear juice has received renewed attention with regard to the effects of processing and preservation on its sensory qualities (colour, taste, flavour, aroma, astringency, visual browning and overall acceptability). Juice was prepared by homogenizing fruit and treating the pulp with pectinase (Aspergillus niger). Juice treatments applied were sugar addition, acidification, heat-treatment,...

Present research investigation was aimed at morphological and biochemical assessment of Passiflora quadrangularis L. commonly known as giant granadilla locally called vegetable squash grown crop by the Adi tribe Arunachal Pradesh. Seven genotypes collected during survey were characterized for different traits. Results showed that average fruit weight 432.57g/fruit, with juice content 100.11 mL/...

Increasing plant production by protecting the environment is one of main goals today's agriculture. On other hand, use both inorganic and organic fertilizers becoming increasingly extensive. This study was carried out in field conditions to determine effects fertilization on yield quality characteristics industrial tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L., cv. Heinz 1015 F1). For this purpose, contents ...

introduction: citrus fruits, which belong to the family of rutaceae are one of the main fruit tree crops grown throughout the world. although sweet orange (citrus sinensis) is the major fruit in this group accounting for about 70% of citrus output.citrus fruits are well – appreciated fortheir refreshing juice and health benefits.the health benefits of citrus fruits are linked to the high amount...

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...

The study was undertaken to determine the potential of general cross combinations in sugarcane, obtained by open pollinating the female parents, to generate variants for Brix (percent total soluble solids) content and frequency distribution pattern of variants, hence generated. Using Brix (an indicator of sucrose content) as selection criterion, 819 ratooned seedlings raised from five general c...

Abstract Research on grape cultivation is still rarely carried out in Indonesia (Tropical Countries) unless it by Centers, which are indeed engaged developing grapes. This study aims to examine the effect of pruning and application white Potassium Nitrate (KNO 3 ) Mono Phosphate (MKP) development generative phase several varieties. The used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors,...
