The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of dipping time and temperature of hot water and type of packaging on qualitative traits of Orlando tangelo variety of tangerine. This study was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three repeats. The treatments consisted of dipping in hot water at seven water levels at 53°C and 58°C each for 1, 2 and 4 minutes...

ABSTRACT The extended use of the same variety by farmers over successive generations and reuse “seeds” caused natural variability that can be a magnificent opportunity for genetic improvement tomatillo. Two seasons were accomplished to select genotypes with good performance from heterogeneous population local tomatillo “Balady”. results revealed significant differences in early yield as fruit n...

Mango and mangosteen are commercially important tropical fruits with a short shelf life. Fruit processing is one of the alternatives to extend life these fruits. Purée processed products fresh fruit. In this research, quality mango purée was analyzed. Titratable acidity (TA) total soluble solids (TSS) were predicted using non-destructive near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. A partial least squares...

Fusariosis (Fusarium guttiforme) is the most destructive disease of pineapple crop in Brazil. The aim this study was to evaluate reaction an isolate genotypes selected for crownless fruit weight (CFW) and total soluble solids (TSS). A 1,125 ('BRS Imperial'×'Pérola') were evaluated. Selection greatest CFW TSS performed during sexual cycle. inoculated on slip-type plantlets using immersion techni...

Quality characteristics of tomato fruit will be affected by a number preand post harvest factors. In this study, the effect of maturity stage on post harvest quality characteristics of tomato was investigated. Tomato fruits of the same farmers‟ variety were harvested at mature-green, medium ripe and full-ripe stages. After harvesting, tomato samples were sliced and homogenized in blender for pr...
