An understanding of biochemical events of cold storage may lead to more effective methods of preventing apple fruits from ripening and keeping their quality. This study aimed at determining the level of reduced and oxidized forms of ascorbic acid, and the activity of ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase enzymes changes in pulp of Golden delicious apple cultivar during cold s...

oxidative stability of walnut (juglansregia l.) was evaluated over a period of 1 year storage in various conditions. the whole walnuts, walnut kernels, walnut chopped kernels, walnut kernels packaged in polyethylene (pet) under vacuum and poly propylene (pp) contain of co2 were kept in a normal condition (temperature, 19-30˚с and relative humidity (rh), 35-45%). the whole walnuts and walnut ker...

Background: Seed deterioration is an unavoidable process during seed storage resulting in declined germination and vigour of the seeds have different potential under condition. Maintenance requires new alternative method conditions viz., packaging material temperature conditions. Storage groundnut cv. VRI 8 changes associated with stored were investigated this study. Methods: The efficiency mod...

sensitivity of tomato fruit to low temperature and chilling injury limits the storage, handling and marketability of the fruit. as a recommended postharvest treatment, effects of hot water treatment (hwt) on reducing chilling injury and quality traits, variation of tomato fruits during storage life were investigated. tomato fruits were harvested at mature green stage. they were treated by hot w...
