Hyperspectral scattering is a promising technique for nondestructive sensing of multiple quality attributes of apple fruit. This research evaluated nd compared different mathematical models for describing the hyperspectral scattering profiles over the spectral region between 450 nm and 000 nm in order to select an optimal model for predicting fruit firmness and soluble solids content (SSC) of ‘...

Freshly harvested fruits of three Amla cultivars viz., Krishna, Chakaiya and Kanchan were evaluated for the average weight fruit. Krishna showed highest (39 g) followed by (31g) (25g). The total soluble solids (TSS) pulp determined using a hand refractometer. TSS content ranged from 9% to 14.5%. moisture freshly cultivars, determined. 86% 90%. ascorbic acid in amla fruit 351mg/100g 270 mg/100g.

application of edible coating as a way of prolonging the shelf-life of perishable fruits and vegetables is promising. two plum cultivars (stanley and giant) were treated with 1% chitosan and then stored at 0-1oc and relative humidity of 90±5% for 40 days. changes in weight loss, respiration rate, fruit firmness, soluble solid content, titrable acidity, ph, ascorbic acid as well as decay rate we...

introduction: fruits and vegetables have special importance as a very important part of the human food supply. and from the beginnings of life, man has used these products to supply a part of his food. nowadays, horticultural products are widely used in the diet. cherry is one of the deciduous trees in the temperate regions, which is potassium rich. use of oxalic acid significantly reduces fros...

cantaloupe is a common crop and relatively important in iran which show high genetic diversity. forty nine genotypes including seven iranian endemic cantaloupes rishbaba, shahabadi, samsori, dastjerdi, magasi, tiltorogh and savei and their direct and reciprocal crosses were evaluated during two years using triple lattice design. results indicated the positive and significant correlations betwee...
