Maturity at harvest is an important determinant of fruit quality in kiwiberry [ Actinidia arguta (Siebold & Zucc.) Planch. ex Miq.], a climacteric that harvested after reaching physiological maturity but not yet ready-to-eat ripeness. Although recommended cultivar for commercial producers the northeastern United States ‘Geneva 3’, no published research exists regarding and postharvest pract...

• Genotype determined the crop’s ability to maintain optimal aroma profile. Maturity had a stronger influence over different compound groups than genotype. Monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes and phthalides are key celery aroma. Odours produced during maturity process strongly by Celery is fibrous horticultural vegetable grown globally widely consumed due its health benefits, distinct flavours culinar...

Abstract. Fridayanti N, Widajati E, Ilyas S, Budi SW, Palupi ER. 2023. Phenology of flowering and seed development jernang rattan (Daemonorops spp.). Biodiversitas 24: 349-358. Jernang has a high economic value due to its resin content in the exocarp, as raw material dyes, medicines, cosmetics. The is highest immature fruit skin (exocarp); therefore, fruits are harvested before germinable. As c...

Limited information is available regarding haskap berry maturity and corresponding postharvest characteristics. We assessed detached quality, respiration rate, ethylene production at five stages of compared storage influence on berries harvested half-blue softening stages. Ethylene’s increase successive suggests its involvement with maturation, but concomitant does not support classifying ripen...

postharvest losses are a limiting factor on storage life of many vegetables and fruits including citrus. therefore a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of thermal treatments and herbal thyme oil spray on sanguinello blood oranges in golestan province in the northern part of iran. the tests have been performed one day after harvesting, under four different treatments: hot water at 55˚c ...

Fruits and vegetables are important sources of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. The relative contribution of each commodity to human health and wellness depends upon its nutritive value and per capita consumption; the latter is greatly influenced by consumer preferences and degree of satisfaction from eating the fruit or vegetable. Flavor quality of fruits and vegetables is ...

In this paper we study the exploitation of a one species forest plantation when timber price is governed by a stochastic process. The work focuses on providing closed expressions for the optimal harvesting policy in terms of the parameters of the price process and the discount factor. We assume that harvest is restricted to mature trees older than a certain age and that the growth after maturit...

The aim of this research was to determine the optimal harvest time based on variations in brondolan days through parameters free fatty acid content (ALB) and water smallholder oil palm plantations. This study applied a factorial randomized block design (RAK) method consisting 2 factors, namely treatment trees with planting age 10 years replications. Observation include referring quality standar...

The losses in fruits and vegetables in various postharvest operations remained high in which tomato is one of the major vegetable fruit. Tomato is a sensitive vegetable whose quality is substantially reduces due to physical damage encountered by various mechanical forces in harvesting, handling and other postharvest operation. In this study an attempt was made to determine mechanical properties...
