Postharvest response of avocado fruits of different maturity to delayed ethylene treatments.
The effect of 10, 100, 1000, 10,000 ppm of ethylene, applied for 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours, on the ripening rate of "Hass" avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruits at three stages of maturity was investigated. Ethylene treatments were started either immediately after picking or 2 days later. A sharp peak of ethylene production was found to precede full softening by about 2 days and the occurrence o...
متن کاملBlueberry fruit response to postharvest application of ultraviolet radiation
Blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum, cvs. Collins, Bluecrop) were exposed to ultraviolet light-C (UV-C) radiation treatments from 0 to 4 kJ/m2 rior to 7 days storage at 5 ◦C plus 2 days at 20 ◦C, 90% RH. Weight loss and firmness were not affected by light treatment. Decay incidence from ipe rot (Colletotrichum acutatum, syn. C. gloeosporioides) on fruit was decreased by 10% with 1–4 kJ/m2 UV-C li...
متن کاملExposure of school children to alpha particles
Background: A substantial part of the public’s natural radiation dose is due to the inhalation of radon gas. Most of the exposure occurs indoors where the airborne concentration of radon and its decay products is usually higher than outdoors. Materials and Methods: Radon activity concentration has been measured twice in 50 classrooms in 5 levels (10 each) during summer and winter using solid-st...
متن کاملPostharvest disinfestation heat treatments: response of fruit and fruit fly larvae to different heating media
The surface heat transfer efficiency of three heating media (water, and forced air with and without a water vapor-pressure deficit) was compared using four commodities: mango, papaya, grapefruit, and orange. Forced vapor-saturated-air (VFA), and water (HW) transferred heat most efficiently to the fruit surface. Thermal stress to the fruit was greatest during heating in VFA. Thermal diffusivity ...
