Iron Biofortification of Greenhouse Cherry Tomatoes Grown in a Soilless System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Iron (Fe) biofortification is a strategy to increase the amount of iron in food crops. The goal this work was assess possibility maximizing Fe content cherry tomatoes grown soilless system. cultivar Creativo with three concentrations (as Fe-HBED) nutrient solution (0.022, 1, and 2 mmol L−1), received further foliar applications element Fe-DTPA) at 0, 250, 500 µmol L−1. addition L−1 solution, together sprays L−1, induced highest fruit concentration clusters 1 (by 163% 190%, respectively). added increased dry matter (up +10.21%) but decreased fruit’s fresh weight −11.06%). higher provided crop synergistically contents other minerals (i.e., K, Mg, Na, Zn), along titratable acidity soluble solids content, improving multiple functional quality traits tomatoes. These results show that can be effective address deficiency while obtaining high-quality products.

Dissipation of six fungicides in greenhouse-grown tomatoes with processing and health risk
Greenhouse studies were conducted to evaluate the dissipation rate kinetics and estimate the behavior of selected pesticides after washing, peeling, simmering, and canning of tomato expressed as processing factor (PF). Two varieties (Marissa and Harzfeuer) were treated by six fungicides: azoxystrobin, boscalid, chlorothalonil, cyprodinil, fludioxonil, and pyraclostrobin at single and double dos...
متن کاملIron Biofortification of Myanmar Rice
Iron (Fe) deficiency elevates human mortality rates, especially in developing countries. In Myanmar, the prevalence of Fe-deficient anemia in children and pregnant women are 75 and 71%, respectively. Myanmar people have one of the highest per capita rice consumption rates globally. Consequently, production of Fe-biofortified rice would likely contribute to solving the Fe-deficiency problem in t...

متن کاملInfluence of Heat Treatments on Carotenoid Content of Cherry Tomatoes
Tomatoes and tomato products are rich sources of carotenoids-principally lycopene, followed by β-carotene and lutein. The aim of this work was to study the effect of heat treatment on carotenoid content in cherry tomatoes. Raw and canned products were sampled and analysed; furthermore whole, skin and pulp fractions of cherry tomatoes were analysed when raw and home-processed, in order to better...
