Volatile compounds, physicochemical and sensory attributes of four sweet cherry cultivars (Canada giant, Ferrovia, Lapins and Skeena) grown in Northern Greece were determined. Eighteen volatile compounds were identified and semi-quantified in cherries using solid phase micro extraction in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS). Carbonyl compounds were the most abunda...

Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) reflection spectra of intact berries the grape variety Thompson seedless were used to predict total soluble solids (TSS) content. From an initial dataset, 12 subsets considered by applying variable selection extract reflectance values at wavenumbers most correlated chemometrically measured TSS The datasets processed both multiple linear regression (MLR) ...

In this study some selected chemical properties such as total soluble solids, pH, total acidity, formalin index,  reduced sugar content and ascorbic acid of major sour cherry cultivated grown in different provinces of Iran corresponding were investigated.  Minerals K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The result showed...

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...

This study was carried out to assess the efficiency of a combined system consisting of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) system for color removal from reactive dyes wastewater. The UASB reactor and DHS system were operated at HRT of 6 and 2.0 h., respectively. The results obtained indicated that, the combined system was quite effective for remova...

Abstract The effect of various concentration xanthan gum (0.5%, 1%, and 2%) based edible coating supplemented with pomegranate peel extract (0.5 mL) on functional physico-chemical properties mango ( Mangifera indica L.) fruits were studied during the storage period 15 days at 22 °C. application (XG) formulations (PPE) was found to be effective maintain quality attributes characteristics like re...

Overview This study explored two different approaches to estimating the load reduction efficiency of the Stormwater Management StormFilter (StormFilter) system at the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Kearny Mesa Maintenance Station (KMMS). One approach is based on the analysis of soil and media samples collected during maintenance of the StormFilter system. The alternative ap...

A submerged biological filter packed with clayey schists from brick industrial waste as support material was used to treat landfill leachate. The pilot-scale plant consisted of two separated reactors, running in aerated and non-aerated conditions respectively. The leachate was taken from a landfill in Granada (southeast Spain) and was considered as partially stabilized with average chemical oxy...

the harvest date more influenced on postharvest quality during storage. in present study, fruits were harvested at four date base on total soluble solids content (5.5, 6.5, 7.5, and 8.5%) and then stored at 0.5 ºc and 80-90% rh, for 18 weeks. the samples were taken in 6th, 12th and 18th interval weeks and evaluated some parameters including weightless, losses, firmness, tss, ta, tss/ta, ascorbi...
