Scald of the husk surface is an important factor limiting long-term storage of pomegranates and little information is available about its ause and methods of control. We evaluated the efficacy of prestorage treatment with diphenylamine and/or 1-methylcyclopropene and of tmospheric modification during storage on scald incidence and severity on Wonderful pomegranates. Scald incidence and severity...

However, there has been no scientific research to date on the wound healing properties of Ampelopsis Radix for scald burns. This study aimed to evaluate the healing effect of Ampelopsis japonica root tuber ethanol extract (AJE) on induced cutaneous scald injury in Sprague Dawley (SD...

The present research intents to study skin fatty acids and physiological disorders developed during cold storage in ‘Golden Delicious’ apples treated with 1-MCP calcium. Harvested fruits were calcium chloride (Ca), (MCP), Ca + MCP or no treatment (control) then subjected at 0.5 °C for 6 months. Fatty acids’ composition, malondialdehyde (MDA) the bitter pit (BP), superficial scald diffuse browni...

Abstract Although superficial scald (SS) is well characterized on apples, there still few information regarding the influence that initial fruit’s maturity heterogeneity may have development of this disorder pears. In study we aimed to understand effect growing season and site, harvest maturity, their interaction with postharvest treatments development. Pears (Pyrus communis L.) cv ‘Packham’s T...
