Papaya (C. papaya) is a rich source of bioactive compounds. However, fruit content varies greatly depending on factors such as the variety and growing location. In this study, three yellow-fleshed papaya cultivars (L??ie Gold, Rainbow, Kapoho Solo) two red-fleshed (Sunset Sunrise) were harvested from different locations throughout Hawaiian Islands analyzed for their mineral carotenoid using ICP...

this study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the red flesh apples and golab cultivars. two iranian red flesh apples from shahroud and four golab cultivars as well as ‘gala’ as control from damavand were selected in summer 2012. fruit physical characteristics including length, diameter, fresh weight and dry weight, firmness, color and their parameters were evaluated for each cultivar. the...

Haematology is a rapidly growing field of medicine. The advent of new molecular biology methods has enhanced our knowledge of blood disorders, but further complicated the study of this important branch of medicine. Although, modern day students tend to have better information technology skills than their predecessors and seem to be very interested in molecular biology methods, the comprehension...

Research was conducted in a certified organic apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) orchard in 2000 to determine the effect of organic pest management techniques on pest control, apple yields and microbial populations on harvested apples. In Experiment I, apple colouring bags, sticky red spheres, kaolin particle film, kaolin particle film plus sticky red spheres, or colouring bags plus sticky red sp...

Red-fleshed dragon fruit offers an array of bioactive compounds. Its cultivation is gaining momentum in India, including arid and semi-arid conditions. Among various factors, the developmental stages climatic conditions locations greatly influence biosynthesis actual contents different compounds mineral fruit. The changes physical attributes, content red-fleshed grown India were assessed quanti...

Four of five apple cultivars (Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, McIntosh, Macoun, and Melrose) inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 promoted growth of the bacterium in bruised tissue independent of the date of harvest (i.e., degree of apple ripening) or the source of the apple (i.e., tree-picked or dropped fruit). Apple harvest for this study began 4 September 1998 and ended 9 October, with ...

This article is divided into three parts. The first part, the most important one, deals with spectroscopic methods. Different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum are useful for fruit quality characterisation, in particular the visible and near-infrared regions. Concerning the visible one, studies have been carried out on apple, apricot, cherry, mango, peach, red table grape and tomato, when...

The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of irradiation from light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on several fruits during storage. To improve storage and increase the contents of some bioactive compounds, apple, tomato and red bell pepper fruits were exposed to yellow light emitted from the diodes at 590 nm. The contents of ascorbic acid, total phenolics, total flavonoids and several ...

rosy apple aphid, dysaphis plantaginea (passerini), with worldwide distribution is an important pest of apple orchards. host plant resistance is an essential component of integrated management of this insect pest. we investigated the resistance of seven apple cultivars, malus domestica (borkhausen), namely granny smith, starkrimson, golden smoothee, red delicious, golden delicious, boshghabi, a...
