Abstract Visible and near infrared (VIS-NIR) spectroscopy is a non-destructive, fast, practical reliable technique to determine maturity quality attributes in apple fruit. However, the effects of cultivar growing conditions on predictive performance equipment must be determined before its commercial application industry. This study was carried out evaluate efficiency VIS-NIR portable spectromet...

This work is evidently an assiduous garnering of facts and figures as expounded during an extensive guided tour of penal instiutions. But a book about prison in which no single prisoner appears as a creature of flesh and blood is unmistakably a secondhand affair which cannot take much hold of what prison is all about. However, the material is wide-ranging, useful for reference and a guide to of...

to determine the phenolic content and antioxidant activity in some native iranian apple cultivars, some five cultivars namely: 'bekran', 'golab-e kermanshah', 'golab-e kohanz' 'golab-e sheikhi' and 'atlasi' were selected and compared with the standard cultivar 'gala'. the profiles related to four phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-galactoside, catechin, and phloridzin) were deter...

In the cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait.) industry, textural properties and firmness of fruit are priority traits for producing processed products, such as sweetened dried (SDC), which have gained popularity in recent years. However, there is currently no reliable methodology screening these breeding programs. this study, we examine key methodologies, traits, parameters, conditions that nec...

Most strawberry plants have white flowers and red fruit. We developed a new selection with pink fruit, named it G23. Basic phenotypic data were recorded over years of observation experimentation the flower crown diameter, petal color, rate fruit set, as well skin flesh seed color attachment status, weight shape, soluble solids contents, firmness. found that G23 bloomed stable produced consisten...

ABSTRACT The storage life of ‘Alexander Lucas’ pear is limited by the occurrence internal disorders during controlled atmosphere (CA). 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) can be used to delay ripening, however, its interaction with CA conditions not well understood. fruit were treated 1-MCP at 300 nL L-1 for 24 h in air at-0.5 or 1.0 °C before being stored. Fruit kept normal (2.0 kPa O2 plus <0.7 C...

A novel color rendering algorithm for printing images with flesh tone content is addressed in this paper. Instead of rendering the whole image with one Color Rendering Dictionary (CRD), two CRDs, a global CRD and a flesh tone CRD are employed to correct the image adaptively. First, the optimal CRD for flesh-tone is designed by densely sampling, in color space, the flesh tone region and selectin...

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) is one of the most important freshwater fish that is native to China, and crisp grass carp is a kind of high value-added fishes which have higher muscle firmness. To investigate biological functions and possible signal transduction pathways that address muscle firmness increase of crisp grass carp, microarray analysis of 14,900 transcripts was performed. Co...

Recently, four quantitative trait loci linked to flesh mealiness in apples were identified, with one associated the MdPG1 allele. Hence, this study analyzed cell wall changes two mealy (Orin and Akane) three non-mealy (Kiou, Kitaro, Fuji) apple cultivars during ripening. The fruits harvested for each cultivar at optimum maturity stored 20°C 20 days. firmness of ‘Kitaro’ ‘Fuji’ fruit did not cha...

This study was carried out to determine the phenological, morphological, pomological, and yield characteristics of some standard quince cultivars. The earliest flowering occurred in ‘Limon’, harvest recorded ‘Gördes’ cultivar. There were statistical differences between cultivars years terms examined characteristics. highest rootstock diameter observed stem In study, fruit weight varied 334.91-3...
