‘Andes-1’: An Early-maturing Clingstone Peach Cultivar for Canning and Fresh Market

Carbohydrate metabolism of vegetative and reproductive sinks in the late-maturing peach cultivar 'Encore'

Activities of NAD(+)-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), sorbitol oxidase (SOX), sucrose synthase (SS), acid invertase (AI), and neutral invertase (NI) in 'Encore' peach (Prunus persica L.) fruits and developing shoot tips were assayed during the growing season to determine whether carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes could serve as indicators of sink strength. In fruit flesh, SS activity was ...

Quality Changes in Fresh-cut Peach and Nectarine Slices as Affected by Cultivar, Storage Atmosphere and Chemical Treatments

The authors are affiliated with the Dept. of Pomology, Univ. of California, One Shields Ave., Davis, CA 95616. Direct inquiries to Dr. A.A. Kader. ABSTRACT The shelf-life of slices from 13 cultivars of peaches and 8 cultivars of nectarines, varied (between 2 and 12 days at 08C). Controlled atmospheres of 0.25 kPa O2 and/or 10 kPa or 20 kPa CO2 extended the shelf-life at 108C of ‘O’Henry’ or ‘El...

Effect of Phloroglucinol and Resorcinol on the Clingstone Peach Polyphenol Oxidase-catalyzed Oxidation of 4-Methylcatechol.

Phloroglucinol and resorcinol are not substrates for clingstone peach (Prunus persica) polyphenol oxidase, but they react with 4-methyl-o-quinone, produced either enzymatically or nonenzymatically, to give an intense red or red-brown color with a maximal absorption at about 470 nanometers. Several colored products were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of the reaction by two-dimensional th...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
