Post Harvest and Cold Storage Losses in Apple of Balochistan

Effects of Harvest Date on Apple Fruit Quality at Harvesting and after Cold Storage

    Different dates for apples fruit harvest (Malus domestica Borkh. Cv. Fuji) were studied to determine physiochemical changes during the storage. Fuji apples were harvested from 9 September till 23 October, at five different times and stored at 0±0.5 °C and 95% relative humidity for 120 days. To determine the best harvest date for maximum quality and storability, physical and chemical paramet...

Post Harvest Physical and Nutritional Properties of Two Apple Varieties

influence of harvest time on sensorial traits of native early apple cultivars during cold storage

the investigations were carried out in 2007 on the fruit of 7 native early-ripening apple cultivars grown in karaj climatic conditions, harvested in two phenological stages of maturity and ripenning. the harvested samples were stored at (0 ± 0.5) c and (85 ± 5) % of humidity. the measured sensorial traits consisted in: aroma, flavor, sweetness, flesh quality and general acceptability achieved ...

Antioxidant responses of Golden delicious apple under cold storage conditions. Nader Chaparzadeh* and Bahram Yavari

An understanding of biochemical events of cold storage may lead to more effective methods of preventing apple fruits from ripening and keeping their quality. This study aimed at determining the level of reduced and oxidized forms of ascorbic acid, and the activity of ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase enzymes changes in pulp of Golden delicious apple cultivar during cold s...
