Native population of raspberry fruits (Rubus spp) were treated with Methyl Jasmonate (MJ) fumigation and were assayed for the antioxidant capacity, total anthocyanins and postharvest quality after 7 days storage at 4?C. The result of experiment revealed that berries treated with methyl jasmonate (MJ) showed higher antioxidant capacity and total anthocyanins compared to the controled ones (non...

Mandarin fruits are one of the most popular among Citrus genus. They consumed because their nutritional and health benefits, as well pleasant taste smell. This paper describes identification characterization Penicillium expansum, isolated from molded mandarin fruits. The obtained isolates were cultivated on five media [Czapek Yeast Autolysate agar (CYA), MEA (Malt extract agar), Creatine sucros...

The effects of superatmospheric oxygen levels on anthocyanins, phenolics, antioxidant activity and fruit quality of blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) and strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) during storage at 5°C were investigated. High oxygen treatment increased the levels of total anthocyanins, total phenolics as well as several individual flavonoid compounds during the first 21 days ...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of hot air treatments in controlling decay and insects in mango fruit has been demonstrated and has usually been assessed as a function of the temperature of the heated air and the duration of the treatment. However, the contribution of the moisture content of the heated air has received little attention, especially with regard to fruit quality. In this study, mango...

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect edible coating on hydroponic strawberry during storage. Strawberries were coated with either 1% or 1.5% chitosan (CS) solution containing and 0.5% calcium gluconate (CaGlu). After treatment, samples stored at 10 °C, RH 90% for days. weight loss, soluble solid content, firmness, surface color, pH, percentage decay evaluated each day exper...
