The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dipping time and temperature of hot water and type of packaging on qualitative traits of Orlando tangelo variety of tangerine. This study was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three repeats. The treatments consisted of dipping in hot water at seven water levels at 53°C and 58°C each for 1, 2 and 4 minutes...

Biochemical and nutritional traits of 6 banana (Musa spp.) cultivars commercially cultivated in Kerala, belonging to different genomic groups viz. Pisang Lilin (AA), Grand Naine (ABB), Nendran (AAB), Karpooravalli Njalipoovan (AB) Yangambi (KM-5) (AAA) were evaluated. characters on variables such as titratable acidity (%), total soluble solids (oBrix) (TSS), protein (g), carbohydrates fat ash c...

This study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). Milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (TS), fat (F), solids-non-fat (SNF), ash, crude protein (CP), nitrogen soluble at pH 4.6 (SN), mineral content (MC) and casein fraction (CnF). Camel milk had higher (P

Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) fruit from ‘Orito’ cultivar were stored at 2 °C and 90% RH for 28 days plus three 20 (shelf life, SL). This research analysed the changes in quality parameters (weight loss, firmness, color, titratable acidity, total soluble solids), ethylene production, respiration rate, antioxidant activity bioactive compounds (total phenols carotenoids) of cactus...

mango (mangifera indica l.) production is on the rise in various subtropical zones throughout the world. the cultivation of this fruit tree is feasible along the coast of granada, where some 1,500 ha are presently grown. in 2006, the eu exported 118 thousand tonnes of mangoes at a value of 131 million euros. this study was conducted to assess the physico-chemical quality characteristics of some...

in order to study fruit  quality changes in apple cultivar gala, related to ripening stage and storage time, an experiment was conducted in a split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with four replicationsin the area of damavand– jaban for three years. five levels of sampling times in storage were assigned to main plots, and three levels of harvesting times were randomized in ...

The current experiment was carried out to determine the effect of application ethephon on maturation “Peter” figs. Fig fruits were treated with three aqueous concentrations (500, 1000, and 1500 ppm) during developmental stage. physic-chemical characteristics, such as fruit weight, length, diameter, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity recorded analysed. results showed that period fig significant...

barhee is considered as one of the most popular date cultivars worldwide. its fruits, because of low tannin content and low astringency can be, and are consumed at khalal stage. due to its high water content and respiration rate, khalal date fruit is very perishable and of low storage life. limited supply, and difficulties involved in marketing of this product, makes one think of new packaging ...

studies have shown that oxygenated compounds and tss/ta are important for beverage and food industries. it seems that citrus rootstocks have a profound influence on oxygenated compounds and tss/ta. the aim of this research is to identify rootstock that can synthesize the maximum level of oxygenated compounds and tss/ta. peel oil was extracted using mechanical presses and eluted using n-hexane. ...
