Two new University of Arkansas table grape cultivars, Reliance (25% Vitis vinifera L. x 75% Vitis labrusca L.) and Saturn (78% Vitis vinifera L. x 22% Vitis labrusca L.), were stored for seven and 10 weeks at 2°C in corrugated cardboard shipping containers with five packing treatments (slow, dual, and quick-release SO2 generators and lined and unlined controls). The SO2 treatments consisted of ...

A faunal overview is presented of the molluscan families Amphibulimidae, Megaspiridae, Odontostomidae, Orthalicidae, Simpulopsidae in Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru. These Central Andean countries are known for their biodiverse malacofauna, of which the superfamily Orthalicoidea takes relatively a large share. In this paper the five families containing 103 (sub)species, for which systematic informa...

the sorption isotherm and state diagram of sundried, golden and sultana raisins were constructed for investigation and comparison of the product stability. the isotherms were measured at 15, 25 and 35 °c using an isopiestic method and the data were modeled with gab model. glass transition temperatures of the products were measured by differential scanning calorimetery (dsc) and fitted to gordon...

The composition and changes of the fungal population and of the metabolites present in grapes and in ferments of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Corvina, one of the major components of the Amarone musts, were dissected aiming at the identification of constant characteristics possibly influenced by the productive process. The fungal populations and metabolomic profiles were analyzed in three different vin...

The persistence of herbicides applied in vineyards has become a concern in recent years due to their wide use. Investigations into the fate of herbicides in a vineyard in the Barossa Valley, South Australia, have been directed towards the dissipation of herbicides in soil and on grapes. Concentrations of the herbicides, norflurazon, oxadiazon, and oxyfluorfen in soil were monitored following th...

This paper presents the levels of copper and zinc determined in a total of 66 samples of the most widely consumed varieties of white and red grapes in Spain, as well as those of 60 samples of grape juice (39 from white varieties and 21 from red ones) chosen from the main commercial brands in the country. Atomic absorption spectroscopy was used as analytical technique, with electrothermal atomiz...

The juices of grapes (Vitis labrusca L.) are similar to the fruit itself because the main constituents of the fruit are present in the juice. However, their quality characteristics may be modified by the harsh technological processes used for the production of integral food, such as production systems of raw materials and post-harvest treatment of grapes with ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. There...
