Traceability system is regarded as an effective method to ensure quality safety of agricultural products by countries all over the world. In this study, based on the research of EAN·UCC system, UCC/EAN-128 bar code technology was applied in fruit safety traceability system, coding rule for traceable code was established, and the traceable label for fruit product was designed. By integrating dat...

With SGF Profiling™ we introduce an NMR-based screening method for the quality control of fruit juices. This method has been developed in a joint effort by Bruker BioSpin GmbH and SGF International e.V. The system is fully automated with respect to sample transfer, measurement, data analysis and reporting and is set up on an Avance 400 MHz flow-injection NMR spectrometer. For each fruit juice a...

grafting and mycorrhizal fungi have gained interest for the positive effects they can have on vegetable crops. the aim of this work was to study the combined effect of grafting with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) inoculation on fruit yield and quality of mini-watermelon [citrullus lanatus (thumb.) matsum and nakai]. ungrafted plants or grafted onto rootstock rs 841 (cucurbita maxi...

Heterogeneity in fruit quality (size and taste) is a major problem in pineapple production chains. The possibilities were investigated of reducing the heterogeneity in pineapple in the field by pruning slips on selected plants, in order to promote the fruit growth on these plants. Slips are side shoots that develop just below the pineapple fruit during fruit development. Two on-farm experiments...

The fruit is a hierarchically organized organ composed of cells from different tissues. Its quality, defined by traits such as fruit size and composition, is the result of a complex chain of biological processes. These processes involve exchanges (transpiration, respiration, photosynthesis, phloem and xylem fluxes, and ethylene emission) between the fruit and its environment (atmosphere or plan...

because of the harmful effects of chemicals on human health and environment, the use of these compounds in postharvest technology of horticultural crops is highly restricted. current study was done to evaluate the effect of aloe vera gel on postharvest quality and storage life of fruit cultivar siahe-mashhad. fruit were treated with aloe vera gel of 25 and 33% for 5 min at 22 °c. control fruit ...

It is challenging for buyers around the globe to identify good quality fruit. For several kinds of fruit, it may be difficult for buyers to determine the fruit quality by appearance. The ability to select only good quality fruit without cutting or cleaving is useful because buyers will not waste money ordering undesirable fruit. To decrease the chances of buyers purchasing sub-standard watermel...

The orientation of this research was to evaluate the classic parameters regarding the external and internal quality of tomato fruits cv. 'Brilliant' at different stages of maturity and to define the dynamics of their changes during the ripening in storage at 18 C. Principal component analysis (PCA) and multivariate canonical discriminant analysis (DA) were used to classify tomato samples accor...
