in order to alleviate chilling injury in pomegranate (punica granatum) cv. rabab due to cold storage, the fruits were dipped in 0.7, 1.4 and 2 mm of salicylic acid (sa) for 10 min. after 1, 2 and 3 months of storage at 2°c, the fruits were tested for chilling injury (ci) as well as some biochemical parameters. the results revealed that with increase in storage time, ci and ion leakage (il) incr...

because of the harmful effects of chemicals on human health and environment, use of these compounds in postharvest technology of agricultural crops is recently restricted and it is necessary to find safe compounds for use in postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables. in this study, effects of salicylic acid and aloe vera gel on quality attributes and postharvest life of table grape(cv. gi...

the type of training system and application of calcium spray have considerable effects on storability of fruits. in this study, the effects of calcium chloride spray (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g.l-1) in three times during 2, 4 and 6 weeks before harvest time on apple (malus domestica) fruits cvs. ‘gala’ and ‘delbarestival’, which trained in three different training systems (v shape, hightech and cordo...

The Lentinula edodes stipe (LES), a by-product of L. fruiting body processing, is rich in dietary fiber, protein, and polysaccharides, which can be served as the functional ingredient dairy products. In this study, stirred yogurts fortified with 1%, 2%, 3% LES were prepared, effects on changes color, pH, titratable acidity (TA), viable lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cells, syneresis, viscosity, tex...

Apple is one of the most important fruits in temperate zones with a long post-harvest life during cold storage. A factorial experiment, in a randomized completely block design was used to investigate the preharvest application of Iron (0, 500 and 1000 mg Fe-EDDHA per tree) and nitrogen (0, 48 and 96 g ammonium nitrate per tree( on some postharvest qualitative characteristics in "Red spur" and "...

Twenty-eight apple cultivars were selected for their potential hard cider production in Ontario; juice characteristics measured 2017 and 2018, beginning two years after planting 2015. After being harvested pressed, each sample underwent analyses to determine soluble solids concentration (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN), polyphenolic concentration. Soluble ran...

One hundred per cent apple, orange and grapefruit juices were analysed for ascorbic acid (AA) content, total polyphenolic content (TPC), other parameters: titratable acids (TA), malic (MA), citric (CA), volatile (VA), soluble solids (SS), density, the of free amino as formol number (FN). Some apple on Czech market contain added vitamin C, AA such (268–632 mg L–1) is several times higher than th...

Winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) is highly popular due to its attractive taste and flavor of fruits. However, cultivation facing a serious obstacle for the substantial decrease in fruit soluble solids contents. In this study, four commonly-used fertilization types, including organic manure application (OM), combined NPK fertilizer (OC), at high rate (HC) low (LC) were selected ...

Abstract Changes in pineapple storage temperature accelerate the increase internal browning (IB) incidence. This study aims for postharvest applications with changes affecting IB incidence and severity. research was conducted on ‘GP3’ ‘MD2’ clones when they were ripe export. The experimental a completely randomized design of temperatures (T1: at 7°C 30 days T2: 28 followed by 16°C 2 days), (‘GP...

Volatile compounds, physicochemical and sensory attributes of four sweet cherry cultivars (Canada giant, Ferrovia, Lapins and Skeena) grown in Northern Greece were determined. Eighteen volatile compounds were identified and semi-quantified in cherries using solid phase micro extraction in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS). Carbonyl compounds were the most abunda...
