“Pimentón de La Vera” is a smoked paprika regulated by Protected Designation of Origin. The smoking process confers highly-valued sensorial properties to paprika. However, this particular drying also increases the levels polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons concerning concentrations. In work, two modified dryers were compared traditional dryer as strategy mitigate PAH contamination. Drying paramete...

a fundamental shift to a total system approach for crop management in greenhouses is urgently needed to resolve escalating economic and environmental consequences of long-lasting undesired effects of synthetic pesticides used in combating agricultural pests. the aim of this study was to examine a potential new approach i.e. microbial-based production system (mps) for greenhouse-grown peppers. f...

Food waste is an emerging issue in terms of food policy; the most common cause fruit and vegetable at a retailer, addition to excess stock consumer behaviour, lack employees certified handling. Fruits vegetables require specific handling storing avoid waste. The objective this work was survey sections supermarkets understand their experience reasons they believe products are wasted. results sho...

Well-intentioned regulations to protect Canada’s most productive farmland restrict large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) development. The recent innovation of agrivoltaics, which is the co-development land for both PV and agriculture, makes these obsolete. Burgeoning agrivoltaics research has shown agricultural benefits, including increased yield a wide range crops, plant protection from excess e...

• A UV-C treatment of 6 kJ m ?2 greatly enhanced the flavonoid accumulation in red bell peppers. UV-C+UV-B increased by ?94 % carotenoid content and UVB + C are good abiotic elicitors biosynthesis. Rutin is highly (?70 %) after UV treatments. stresses have beneficial effects plants inducing synthesis secondary metabolites when low doses were applied. The aim this study was to evaluate effect (B...

Successful hybrid cultivar breeding is depend on the high genetic diversity of plant sources, as well homozygous and genetically distant lines requiring hybridization. The aim this study to determine distance between inbred pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) in order increase efficacy program. In study, distances 44 bell peppers 35 banana were investigated using SRAP (Sequence Related Amplified Polymo...

Tomato is the most consumed vegetable in world. The tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) an important destructive that damages tomatoes and peppers with significant economic impact. detection characterization of this viral pathogen were evaluated at molecular morphological level. isolate was purified inoculated on pepper plants.
