pomegranate (punica granatum) is an important fruit crop cultivated for fruit and processing in the iran. delaying fruit harvest of pomegranate may increase fruit losses due to fruit cracking; however, early harvest may influence physical and biochemical indices of fruit. an experiment was carried out in 2011 at ‘baghmalek’ (north west of ahwaz, khuzestan province, iran) to determine the effect...

In order to study a short-term and efficient technology by 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in blueberry, the fruit was treated with 0, 0.5, 1 3 μL/L 1-MCP for 2 h then stored at 25 ± °C 40–50% relative humidity (RH) 9 d. The weight loss, decay incidence, respiration rate, firmness, soluble solid content (SSC), titratable acid (TA), Brix-acid ratio (BAR), sensory evaluation, of cell wall polysaccha...

Soluble solids concentration (SSC) is a reference index that typically used to quantify soluble sugars, the most abundant constituents of stone fruit flesh dry matter when approaching maturity. Dry (DMC) another parameter has been often associated with quality. This study investigated relationship SSC and DMC in fourteen cultivars at harvest. were measured physiological maturity peach, nectarin...

in order to study the effects of cppu and ga3 on fruit quality and quantity of sultanina grapes, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design was implemented in a commercial vineyard near bonab city (west azerbaijan province). the spraying was done at fruit set stage using cppu and gibberellic acid. according to the results, it was found that these plant growth regulators had a ...

The moderating role of salicylic acid (SA) and putrescine (PUS) as plant growth regulators (PGRs), on the growth parameters and phytochemical and qualitative characteristics of strawberry fruit 'Selva' under osmotic stress was investigated under soilless culture. The osmotic potential (salinity) of the nutrient solution containing different NaCl concentrations (0, 7.5, 15, 30 and 45 mM) and fol...

in order to study the effects of foliar application of naa and plant thinning on growth, yield and fruit quality of melon genotype khatooni, the experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at research field of faculty of agriculture, university of zanjan. treatments consisted of foliar application of naa at three levels (25, 50 and 100 mg.l-1 at 4-6 tr...

The nutrient concentration of most crops depends on factors such as amount water, growing environment, sunlight, and soil types. However, the influencing African horned cucumber fruit are not yet known. objective study was to determine effect different water stress levels, types, environments fruit. Freeze-dried samples were used in quantification β-carotene total soluble sugars. results demons...

Objective: To determine the main indices of evolution postharvest maturity theAtaulfo mango from Soconusco, Chiapas, Mexico.Design/methodology/approach: The analyzed variables were color skin L*, a* and b*, starch, total soluble solids (°Brix), pH, instrumental firmness, color/skin firmness correlation.Results: It was found that, as fruit progresses, stage 1 to 5, values L, TSS pH also increase...
