The effect of storage at two temperatures (5±1 and 25±1 °C and 60-70±5% RH for both temperatures) on marketability and quality features of dry bulbs of local landrace "Vatikiotiko", "Sivan F1", "Red Cross F1" and "Creamgold" was examined. During storage measurements for fresh and dry weight of bulbs, tunic and flesh color, bulb firmness, nutritional value and mineral composition were taken at r...

Lignin biosynthesis and its transcriptional regulatory networks have been studied in model plants and woody trees. However, lignification also occurs in some fleshy fruit and has rarely been considered in this way. Loquat ( Eriobotrya japonica ) is one such convenient tissue for exploring the transcription factors involved in regulating fruit flesh lignification. Firmness and lignin content of ...

Room-temperature shelf life is a key factor in fresh market apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) quality and commercial value. To investigate the genetic molecular mechanism underlying life, quantitative trait loci (QTL) were identified using bulked segregant analysis via sequencing (BSA-seq). Ethylene emission, flesh firmness, or crispness of fruit from 1,273 F1 plants M. asiatica Nakai ‘Zisai Pearl...

to prolong the storage life and quality of 'zafarany' peach, fruits were treated with uv-c irradiation with dosage of 1.435×10-4 wcm-2 with three time durations (0, 5 and 15 min) and as well immersion of fruits in 0 and 3% cacl2 solution. the experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design (factorial experiment) of four replications. fruits were harvested in commercial ma...

Dabai or Canarium odontophyllum Miq., from the family Burseraceae, is an important indigenous fruit to Borneo Island. However, it is a highly perishable fruit with short shelf life. Postharvest technology such as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) can be used to maintain highly perishable fresh fruit quality and increase its shelf life. There is not much work has been carried out to study effe...

The study assessed the changes in quality and physical chemical parameters of apples four cultivars (‘Gala’, ‘Idared’, ‘Topaz’, ‘Red Prince’) subjected to mechanical vibration during transport under model conditions after storage (shelf-life). Quality were evaluated based on skin flesh colour, total soluble solids, dry matter, firmness, titratable acidity, pH value, polyphenol content, antioxid...

ABSTRACT The characteristics of four genetic materials feijoa (GM7, GM12, GM26, and GM27) after 7, 15, 30 days refrigerated storage (5°C 97% RH) followed by 7 shelf-life (20°C 80% were analyzed. Respiratory activity, weight loss, flesh firmness, external internal color, browning, total polyphenol content (TPC), antioxidant capacity (TAC) determined. GM12 exhibited the best respiratory activity ...

Fresh peaches are highly perishable and they deteriorate quickly during low temperature storage which results in losses in nutritional quality. To prevent these adverse effects, peach fruits were treated by dipping with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA; 2, 4 and 6 mM) immediately after harvest and then stored at 1 °C for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. Peach fruits treated with GABA exhibited higher flesh fir...

Firmness is an important aspect of the quality of fresh tomatoes. Its measurement is necessary for quality control, as well as for postharvest studies to develop procedures for preparation and handling of fresh-cut tomato slices. This study had two objectives, to determine how initial ripeness and cutting affect the textural changes in tomato tissue during storage and to develop a method for me...

Loquat fruit, popular all over the world for its mild, subacid, and sweet taste, has been classified as a non-climacteric fruit with very short postharvest life. The decays quickly after harvest, losses in titratable acidity, juiciness, internal browning occurs rapidly during shelf aim of our study was to assess effects cactus pear mucilage-based coating on quality, nutraceutical value, microbi...
