Firmness and soluble solid content (SSC) are two important quality attributes. This researches investigated the feasibility of using multi-spectral imaging to non-destructive measuring the apple’s firmness and SSC. The spectral imaging in wavelength of 632nm、650nm、670nm、780nm、850nm and 900nm were captured. The Lorentzian distribution (LD), Gaussian distribution (GD) and Exponential distribution...

the use of natural compounds to control plant pathogens lead to reduction in using fungicides. chitosan with duble effects, control pathogenic microorganisms and activate inducing defence responses, has been shown to be a reliable nontoxic material in the plant-pathogen interaction. the aim of this research was to consider the effects of chitosan and calcium chloride on decay and quality attrib...

The effect of anti-insect photoselective yellow (Tenax (Italy); mesh size 2.4 · 4.8 mm) and Stop Drosophila Normal (Artes Politecnica 0.90 1 nets on the generative vegetative traits peach 'Suncrest' was studied at an orchard near city Čakovec, Croatia. Netting significantly affected some parameters (leaf surface, leaf length shape index) but there no significant productivity (yield, yield effic...

The identification of promising commercial varieties for irrigated crops in semiarid conditions based on characters interest to sugarcane agro-industries is important, considering the search high yields obtain sustainable crops. Thus, objective this work was evaluate production components agroindustrial different grown under subsurface drip irrigation Semiarid region Brazil, during two crop cyc...

pomegranate juice (pj) and its products are directly used in foods due to their pleasant taste and palatability as well as preservative effects. in spite of useful effects of essential oils such as zataria multiflora boiss essential oil (zeo) on prolonging shelf-life of foods, their application is restricted due to their vigorous taste and aroma. in the present study, physicochemical characteri...

This study evaluates the effect of a low-cost biodegradable coating formulated with potato starch, rice cassava and gelatin on postharvest quality ‘Tommy Atkins’ mango. The experimental design was completely randomized, arranged in 7x6 factorial scheme four replications per treatment. data were subjected to analysis variance using Tukey test at 5% probability. After coating, fruits stored under...

The article presents the results of a comparative evaluation five promising hybrids Chaenomeles japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. ex Spach (2-44-05, 3-27-05, 5-50-03, 1-64-05, 3-17-05), identified according to complex commercially valuable traits (winter hardiness, yield, fruit weight, low thorniness, resistance rot), and Likhtar variety in conditions Belarus. Significant differences have been found ter...

in the present study application of x-ray computed tomography as a nondestructive technique for estimation of some qualitative parameters of pomegranate fruit was studied. for this purpose, three local cultivars of pomegranate fruit of fars province, iran that included; rabab malas, rabab torsh and khani kazeroon were used. the x-ray ct images of pomegranate fruits were prepared using ct-scan d...

There are many native fruits in Peru containing essential nutrients for health and that have not been fully studied. The objective of this research was to determine the physicochemical, nutritional morphological characteristics five varieties from central Andean region northern Peruvian jungle: goldenberry (Physalis peruviana), sanky (Corryocactus brevistylus), cocona (Solanum sessiliflorum), y...
