Firmness is an important aspect of the quality of fresh tomatoes. Its measurement is necessary for quality control, as well as for postharvest studies to develop procedures for preparation and handling of fresh-cut tomato slices. This study had two objectives, to determine how initial ripeness and cutting affect the textural changes in tomato tissue during storage and to develop a method for me...

In this paper, an efficient and accurate method for tomatoes sorting will proposed. first we extract features from inputted tomato image and then accurate and appropriate decision on Classification tomatoes using fuzzy the mamdani inference, adaptive fuzzy neural network (anfis) methods for each of that image. In our proposed system adaptive fuzzy neural network (anfis) has less error and syste...

background; dithiocarbamates, the main group of fungicides, are used to control about 400 pathogens in more than 70 crops. these pesticides are widely applied to crops including potato, cereal, apple, pear and leafy vegetables throughout the world since 1960. from the late 1980s, using these fungicides has caused much debate among regulators about their long-term effects on consumers and occupa...

ABSTRACT The nutritional and sensory qualities of tomatoes favor their acceptance worldwide. This study was carried out to evaluate the risk perception agrochemical residue in tomato consumption. Thus, 12 kg organic (OT) conventional (CT) at an equal maturation stage were selected. R version 3.6.1 applied analysis physical chemical variables. Mann-Whitney test with a value p<0.05 used verify...

The homogeneity of analytical samples and the stability of pesticides during the sample processing of oranges and tomatoes were evaluated. The mean concentrations of 14C-labeled chlorpyrifos in analytical portions (subsamples) after processing show that homogeneity is dependent on sample type as well as the processing procedure. The homogeneity of analytical samples of tomatoes processed cryoge...

Tomatoes are a horticultural commodity that has the potential to be developed because it high economic value and great export potential. The increase in tomato needs is often not offset by increased production so Indonesia been able meet of national tomatoes, addition issue food quantity shifted quality safety using natural ingredients. This study aims determine concentration paclobutrazol can ...

introduction after crops harvesting, conditions and durations of storage are considered as the most crucial factors formaintaining the nutritional value and quality of agro-horticultural products such as tomato (lycopersicom esculentum mill.) and its waste reduction. however, the rhizopus rot (rhizopus stolonifer) and black spot rot (alternaria alternate) are the most important postharvest dise...

Rotten Spouses, Family Transfers and Public Goods We show that once interfamily exchanges are considered, Becker’s rotten kids mechanism has some remarkable implications that have gone hitherto unnoticed. Specifically, we establish that Cornes and Silva’s (1999) result of efficiency in the contribution game amongst siblings extends to a setting where the contributors (spouses) belong to differe...

Food processing by-products are commonly used as feed ingredients for livestock. Wet tomato pulp is byproduct containing tomato seeds and skin residues and obtained during processing of tomatoes for paste, juice, ketchup etc. Tomato production in Turkey was around 10 million tons and approximately 3 million tons tomatoes were used for processing of tomatoes in 2010 [48]. During production of to...
