Abstract—The agricultural industry has been facing challenges in traditional and manual visual grading of fruits due to its laborious nature inconsistent inspection classification process. To accurately estimate yield automate harvesting, it is crucial classify the based on their ripening stages. However, can be difficult differentiate between stages same fruit variety high similarity images du...

Laboratory screening bioassays and field trapping experiments of spotted wing drosophila flies, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), were conducted to determine the attractiveness of 17 compounds as well as to compare attractant efficiency during peak fruit ripeness and postharvest captures late in the season. Compounds structurally related to each of the fermentation produc...

Freezing is considered an effective means to preserve fruits without using any chemical preservatives. In this study, the effects of ripeness levels and two freezing temperatures (-25oC -86oC) on frozen pineapples were evaluated. The faster rate (0.4 oC/min) was obtained by -86oC system achieve core temperature -18oC in pineapple ~0.65 h compared that at -25oC with respective 0.09 oC/min time ~...

An association between air pollution and hospital admission for heart failure was first noted in the literature in 1995 (1). The association was confirmed in subsequent studies (2, 3), along with many studies showing an association with a more general increase in cardiovascular admissions (4–6). The most consistent associations have been with carbon monoxide and particulate matter, and both Poi...

Antioxidants play role in increasing the resistance of human body, including from virus attacks and weather changes. are found fruit influenced by secondary metabolites formed fruit. Along with level ripeness, will affect composition metabolites, thus affecting antioxidant activity. This study aims to determine yield ripeness Nypa high The old nipa pulp is higher than young pulp, 15.26% 9.82% r...
