Pomegranate fruit is very popular due to its high commercial importance and health benefits. This experiment aimed evaluate the sensory quality, color, biochemical properties (TSS, TA, TSS/TA, anthocyanin content total antioxidant capacity) of pomegranate under post-harvest treatments, included ethanol (EtOH), sodium bicarbonate (SBC), different packaging. Experimental treatments included: 10% ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of high co2 modified atmosphere packaging (map) on storage quality of ‘selva’ strawberry fruits. the statistical analysis carried out using factorial experiment by completely randomized design (crd) with three replications. treatments included cover in two levels (polyethylene and polyamide) and two different gas compositions (2% o2 + 15% co2 + 83...

Mature-green tomato fruits were soaked in hot water for 10 minutes at 35, 40, 45 or 50°C and then stored at 13°C for 20 days. Untreated fruits were soaking with tap water (22°C). The study showed that exposing fruit to hot water influenced peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) activities. Activity of the two enzymes increased with the increasing of soaking temperature, except for the 50°C treatme...

It was generally believed that butterflies and other holometabolous insects rely primarily on reserves accumulated during the larval stage for reproduction. Recent studies, however, highlight the often fundamental importance of adult nutrition to realize the full reproductive potential. While the importance of carbohydrates is fairly well understood, the role of most other adult-derived substan...
