iran, with a long history of apricot cultivation is one of the most important apricot producers in the world. centuries of sexual reproduction via seed, have developed many divergent variations of apricots in iran. however, unfortunately there is no comprehensive report available concerning its diversity and genetic make-up. in this study, 39 iranian apricot cultivars as well as accessions, nat...

Background and Objectives: Edible parts of pomegranate fruits are a rich source of bioactive compounds. The present research examines the effect of modified atmosphere packaging on the fruit physico-chemical and microbial properties of two commercial pomegranate cultivars grown in Iran. Materials and Methods: The arils were packaged and stored under four different atmospheres. All of the pac...

Abstract Fresh fruits like bananas are very susceptible to mechanical damage during postharvest handling which can result in a substantial decline quality. The study aims evaluate the effect of bruise and storage temperatures on quality banana after 48 h storage. Each ‘Grand Naine’ fruit was impacted once by using drop impact test three different heights (10, 30, 50 cm) (13 22 °C) Different ana...

Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of the most significant and frequently produced vegetable crops. However, because its high perishability, keeping quality from farm to market a challenging problem. Various techniques have been employed reduce postharvest losses extend shelf life vegetables fruits. Recently, another approach application eco-friendly elicitors as essential oils-EOs prevent fr...

Since the first occurrence of Huanglongbing (HLB) in Florida commercial citrus industry 2004, fruit yield and components HLB-affected have declined endemically affected tree groves. Optimal fertilization is thus critical for improving performance because nutrients are vital growth development, play a significant role disease resistance against various biotic abiotic stresses. The objective curr...

‘smyrna’ type figs (zidi ‘zd’: dark fruit and thgagli ‘thg’; bidhi ‘bd’ and khedri ‘khd’: white fruit) originated from two areas of fig production in tunisia were subject to physico-chemical description and spectrophotometric analysis for their sugar (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and organic acid (citric and malic) contents. fruit weight ranged between 54 and 82 g, fruit width between 47 and ...

native population of raspberry fruits (rubus spp) were treated with methyl jasmonate (mj) fumigation and were assayed for the antioxidant capacity, total anthocyanins and postharvest quality after 7 days storage at 4?c. the result of experiment revealed that berries treated with methyl jasmonate (mj) showed higher antioxidant capacity and total anthocyanins compared to the controled ones (non...

‘Smyrna’ type figs (Zidi ‘ZD’: dark fruit and Thgagli ‘THG’; Bidhi ‘BD’ and Khedri ‘KHD’: white fruit) originated from two areas of fig production in Tunisia were subject to physico-chemical description and spectrophotometric analysis for their sugar (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and organic acid (citric and malic) contents. Fruit weight ranged between 54 and 82 g, fruit width between 47 and ...

optimal nutrition of grapevine is one of the most important factors that affect the quantity, quality and time of fruit ripening. to increase the quantity and quality of ‘askari’ cultivar, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at shahrekord in 2010. treatments consisted of four levels of potassium sulfate fertilizer (zero, 300, 600 an...

Barhi dates are widely consumed at Khalal maturity stage and preserving the freshness quality of this is a challenging task as period short fruits more perishable. In study, response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize infrared (IR) treatment storage conditions for physicochemical, microbial, bioactive attributes fresh dates. The effect four factors, IR temperature (50, 70, 90, 11...
