The beneficial effects of proper temperature management include reduced decay, improved firmness and skin color, greener stems, and reduced pitting. Improper handling temperature rapidly reduces shelf life. Modified atmosphere packaging has lengthened the postharvest life of cherry fruit by reducing the rate of growth of decay organisms, retarding softening and retaining stem color. Modified at...

Abnormalities in ripening lead, in some years, to substantial losses of fruit. For example, in tomato, there is a physiological disorder known as "blotchy" fruit which has been related to alterations in the cell wall metabolism (7). Some areas within the fruit fail to soften normally resulting in hard spots in the otherwise ripe fruit. This reduction in quality of the fruit often results in rej...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide. There is a consistent inverse relationship between fruit intake with CVD events and mortality in cross-sectional and prospective observational studies, but the relationship of fruit intake with measurements of atherosclerosis in humans is less clear. Nutritional effects on abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), a marker for su...

every year large amounts of grapes are stores in normal and cold rooms to offer off-season of grapes to the market which based on several reasons their quality and weight greatly decreases. therefore, in order to decrease the post harvest losses of grapes and selection of suitable cultivars for long time storage, this study was conducted in two experiments, one in a factorial experiment based o...
