Fresh pistachio fruit cv. Kalleghochi was harvested from the exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy in four geographical directions. The fruit position in exterior and interior parts of the tree canopy has a significant influence on the number of nuts per ounce, pistachio splitting, hull weight, shell weight, kernel weight, colour indices and total anthocyanin content. Results indicated...

We determined the influence of resin ducts, sap content, and fruit physicochemical features of four mango cultivars (Criollo, Manila, Ataulfo, and Tommy Atkins) on their susceptibility to the attack of the two most pestiferous fruit fly species infesting mangoes in Mexico: Anastrepha ludens (Loew) and Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart). We performed three studies: 1) analysis of resin ducts in mango...

margarine contains a higher level of unsaturated and trans-fatty acids (tfa) than butter. the aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of these products in iranian market during storage. physicochemical analyses included fatty acid composition, peroxide and anisidine values, slip melting point (smp), color, chlorophyll content, solid fat content (sfc) and texture anal...

The electrical impedance of kiwifruit [Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev) C.F. Liang et A.R. Ferguson, cv. Hayward] was studied during fruit ripening. Measurements were made on whole fruit, and tissues excised from the outer pericarp, inner pericarp and core. Alternating current at frequencies between 50 Hz and 1 MHz was passed through fruit and tissue samples, and complex impedance spectra were sep...

Edaphic conditions are determinant factors of fruit quality at harvest. The objective was to establish which edaphic variables influence harvest and determine the these on some physicochemical physiological characteristics ‘Horvin’ plum fruits In municipality Nuevo Colon (Boyaca, Colombia), records two harvests were made in four locations during 2015 2016. Ten trees per row twenty location mark...
