Sweet sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is characterized by juicy stems with high concentrations of fermentable sugars. The genetic basis of these phenotypes is not understood. A sweet sorghum diversity panel (n = 252), consisting of sweet sorghum cultivars (n = 80) and diverse landraces selected for matching plant height and maturity (n = 172), was genotyped and phenotyped in three environ...

the aim of this study is investigation on effect of stem end splitting and geranium essential oil on vase life on quality of cut chrysanthemum (dendranthema grandiflorum l.). this experiment arranged as factorial based on rcd with 2 factors of stem end splitting at 2 levels (with splitting and without splitting) and geranium essential oil at 6 levels (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 %), with 12 treatments...

some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (semsouri and shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. the physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (gmd), specific gravity (sg), mean firmness (mf), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). the chemical compositions were brix, titrable acidity (t...

En este estudio se determinó la influencia que tienen las condiciones de almacenamiento y aplicación cera en el estatus hídrico calidad poscosecha frutos mango (Mangifera indica L.) cv. Keitt. Frutos tratados hidrotérmicamente fueron divididos dos lotes: a uno les aplicó una comercial (Britex®) al otro le dejó como testigo (sin cera). Los encerados colocados tres diferentes déficit presión vapo...

Phenolic concentrations are affected by environmental factors and grape cultivar, as well viticultural practices, which should be considered when a specific phenolic profile is intended. The effect of microclimate induced row orientation on compounds Vitis vinifera L. cv. Syrah/101-14 Mgt grapes was investigated. Grapes were harvested from four vintages at 22 °Brix, 24 °Brix 26 N-S, E-W, NE-SW ...

in this study lemon juice were packaged at three type of packaging ( pet , pe and glass bottles ). the samples were stored ten weeks at 20 and 40 ◦c . physicochemical (ph, acidity, brix, vitamin c , so2 and formalin number ) and sensory properties of lemon juice were evaluated on every two weeks. the results showed that the two storage temperatures(20 and 40 ◦c ) had not any significant effect ...

The aim of this research was to develop technique produce alcohol from Thai white rice (TWR) using Saccharomyces cerevisiae TISTR 5339. TWR sugar produced with Amylomyces rouxii 3182. Response surface methodology (RSM) applied for investigating the experimental design production alcohol. There were 20 experiments involving three investigated variables 5339 amount ratio, concentration (% Brix) a...

flow characteristics and rheological parameters of “malas yazdi” pomegranate (punica granatum l.) juice were investigated using rotational viscometer at different temperatures (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70ºc) and concentrations (12, 22, 32, 42 and 52º brix). the experimental data had the best fitness with herschel-bulkley model and the values of flow behavior index (n) varied between 0.97 and ...
