Physico-chemical changes during growth and development of papaya fruit. IΙ: Chemical changes

Physico-chemical and structural changes of red-fleshed dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) during fruit development.

BACKGROUND Determination of physico-chemical (weight, length, diameter, stomatal density, respiration rate, colour, soluble solids concentration, titratable acidity, chlorophyll and betacyanin content) and structural changes of red-fleshed dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus (Weber) Britton & Rose) was carried out from 5 to 35 days after pollination (DAP) in order to explain their growth, devel...

Physico-Chemical Changes and Pest Incidence Associated with Development of Bael (Aegle marmelos Correa.) Fruit

Bael (Aegle marmelos Correa.) is one of the most important minor fruit crops with medicinal and antioxidant properties grown in India from sea level to moderately high altitude [1]. It belongs to the family Rutaceae and it’s type of fruit is amphisarca. Sarkar et al. [2] stated that it was originated from south East Asia. It flowers between April and May months, while harvesting is done in Apri...

Characterization of Changes in Polyphenols, Antioxidant Capacity and Physico-Chemical Parameters during Lowbush Blueberry Fruit Ripening

Changes in major polyphenols, antioxidant capacity, and selected physico-chemical parameters were examined in lowbush blueberry during fruit ripening. Polyphenols (phenolic acids, flavonols, flavan-3-ols, and anthocyanins), density, soluble solid content, pH, titratable acidity, sugars, organic acids, and antioxidant capacity were determined in fruits of four maturities: green, pink/red, blue, ...

Physico-chemical changes in dabai (Canarium odontophyllum Miq.) fruit during modified atmosphere storage

Dabai or Canarium odontophyllum Miq., from the family Burseraceae, is an important indigenous fruit to Borneo Island. However, it is a highly perishable fruit with short shelf life. Postharvest technology such as modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) can be used to maintain highly perishable fresh fruit quality and increase its shelf life. There is not much work has been carried out to study effe...
