The phytochemicals present in the grapes are responsible for nutraceutical and health benfits due to their antioxidant properties. These phytochemicals, however, vary greatly among different cultivars. In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant potential and protective role of four different Indian grape (Vitis vinifera) cultivars extracts, namely Flame seedless (Black grapes), Kishmish chorni...

grown in California because of its high productivity, wide soil adaptability, seedless fruit, and versatility for use in different grape and raisin products. About 95 percent of California raisins are currently produced from ‘Thompson Seedless’ grapes, followed by ‘Fiesta’ (3 percent) and ‘Zante Currant’ (1.5 percent). The remainder are produced from ‘DOVine,’ ‘Muscat of Alexandria,’ “Sultana” ...

The health and yield of grapes are affected by the microorganisms associated with grapevine. diversity present on wine grape varieties is well defined whereas, information table remains scarce. In study, culture-dependent method was used to isolate microbes surface commercial white seedless cultivar, Thompson Seedless at different stages berry development. microbial load increased as progressed...

In this paper, life cycle cost analysis of a self sustained hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) greenhouse dryer has been carried out. The hybrid PV/T integrated greenhouse (roof type even span) dryer, designed and constructed at Solar Energy Park, Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi (28 0 35 N, 77 0 12 E, 216 m above MSL), India, has been used to dry Thompson seedless grapes under forced ...
