The Carotenoid and Provitamin a Content of the Watermelon
10 years ago lycopene, C40H56, and carotene, &,HS6, were isolated from the pulp of the European watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris, Schrad. = Cucumis citrullus, L.) by Zechmeister and Tuzson (l), and it was shown that the chief pigment, lycopene, is responsible for t.he red color. As the chromatographic method was not available at that time, no precise information as to the composition of the pigme...
متن کاملSeedless Fruit Production by Hormonal Regulation of Fruit Set
Seed and fruit development are intimately related processes controlled by internal signals and environmental cues. The absence of seeds is usually appreciated by consumers and producers because it increases fruit quality and fruit shelf-life. One method to produce seedless fruit is to develop plants able to produce fruits independently from pollination and fertilization of the ovules. The onset...
متن کاملFruit Quality Characters and Seedlessness in Watermelon
A field experiment was conducted during 2006-2007 and 2007-2008 seasons at Herbal garden, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, India to study the influence of exogenous application of CPPU and GA yield, 3 fruit quality characters and seedlessness in watermelon. The experiment consists of 12 treatments (CPPU-50 ppm (T ), CPPU-100 ppm (T2), CPPU-200 ppm (T3), GA -100 ppm(T ), GA -200 ppm(T ), CPPU 50 ppm + ...
متن کاملReflectance spectral features and non-destructive estimation of chlorophyll, carotenoid and anthocyanin content in apple fruit
Fruit reflectance spectra of five apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) cultivars (Zhigulevskoe, Antonovka, Granny Smith, Golden Delicious and Renet Simirenko) with a wide range of peel pigment (chlorophylls a and b , carotenoids and anthocyanins) content have been studied to develop non-destructive techniques for pigment assessment. In addition to chlorophylls, positions of in vivo absorption maxima ...
متن کاملCharacterization and semiquantitative analysis of volatiles in seedless watermelon varieties using solid-phase microextraction.
Seedless triploid watermelons have increased in popularity since the early 1990s, and the demand for seedless fruit is on the rise. Sweetness and sugars are crucial breeding focuses for fruit quality. Volatiles also play an important role; yet, we found no literature for seedless varieties and no reports using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) in watermelon. The objective of this experiment wa...
