some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (semsouri and shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. the physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (gmd), specific gravity (sg), mean firmness (mf), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). the chemical compositions were brix, titrable acidity (t...

Pineapple is a fruit commodity that Indonesia's flagship. This because pineapple has the highest export volume in Indonesia. To obtain pineapples with perfect ripeness, generally manually selected, this becomes inefficient if large numbers of are selected. So, study, an image processing system will be developed can classify ripeness based on its image. In color feature extraction used hue and s...

In her dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood gives voice to the importance of both context and experience in making sense thought action: “Context is all; or it ripeness [...]

Harvesting grapes at the appropriate maturity is key to production of high quality red wines. Viticulturists, oenologists and winemakers define several types maturity: technological, phenolic aromatic. Aromatic probably most important for determining wine typicity, including terroir expression. This article (part I) reviews state-of-the-art compounds underpinning aromatic maturity; influence fa...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphological and chemical parameters, antioxidant activity (DPPH) of five rose species (Rosa rugosa, R. villosa, R. californica, R. spinosissima, and R. × damascene) and grouping them according to the harvest date. On the basis of the study, rose species grown in eastern Poland were grouped according to their harvest time, and three dates of cumulative...

Sweet corn cobs constituting raw material for processing must be characterized by the highest quality of kernels. Kernel quality is defined not just by the chemical and sensory properties, but also by the mechanical parameters of kernels. This appears to fully justify joint consideration of all those properties. Sweet corn is probably a mutant of fodder corn (Orłowski, 2000). Significant differ...
