Grey mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea, is the most important pre-harvest and post-harvest disease of pepper. The leads to huge losses in quality yield Synthetic fungicides should not be used because their harmful residues fruits postharvest. Hence, alternative chemicals have gained more importance for human health now-a-days. In this study, postharvest effectiveness eugenol sodium bicarbonate (...

INTRODUCTION Superficial scald, one of the most common postharvest physiological disorders of apples, is characterized by irregularly shaped blotches in the skin of the fruit; they vary from light to dark brown, depending on cultivar and severity of the disorder. The symptoms usually appear after long-term storage (more than 4 months), and the damage is associated to the oxidation of “alphafarn...

Hybrid lilies are excellent cut flowers due to the availability of flowers with various colors and shapes. Extensive inter-species hybridization has resulted in numerous cultivars, and many new cultivars are introduced to the market each year. While the vigor and reliability of the crop has improved over the years, what has not changed is that the postharvest quality of the cut stem is an impor...

One of the greatest causes of loss in the food industry is postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables (Vero Mendez & Mondino, 1999). According to U.S.A. estimations this loss reaches 20 25% whereas in developing countries the losses are often more severe due to inadequate storage and transportation facilities (Sharma et al., 2009), but loss has generally been considered to be approximately 1...

Postharvest quality detection and grading are important factors to improve the commercial value of fruit. The natural biological characteristics bring challenges rapid non-destructive evaluation internal fruits with large size thick peel. A lot studies have tried establish a feasible technique achieve rapid, non-destructive, accurate for this kind fruit in real-time grading. This article focuse...
