Fruits and vegetables that are consumed in large quantities may make a significant contribution to nutrient intake even though their nutrient content is not high. Apples fit into this category. Fresh apples are considered a food of moderate energy value among common fruits, while processed apple products are either comparable to fresh apples in energy value or higher because of concentration (d...

On the basis of experimental garden Precaspian agrarian federal scientific center (Astrakhan region) in 2017 ... 2020, quality fruits apple varieties Renet Simirenko, Idared and Melba on rootstocks SK series (North Caucasus) selection North Caucasus Federal Scientific Center for Horticulture, Viticulture, Winemaking was studied comparison with combinations M (a total 27 graft-rootstock combinat...

The improvement of trap-lure combinations is an important part of integrated pest management programs that involve monitoring pests for timely insecticide applications, or for their use in control strategies such as mass trapping or bait stations. In this study improvements in the capture of Drosophila suzukii were not observed following the inclusion of different color stimuli with respect to ...

BACKGROUND Fungicide residues on fruit may adversely affect yeast during cider fermentation, leading to sluggish or stuck fermentation or the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2 S), which is an undesirable aroma compound. This phenomenon has been studied in grape fermentation but not in apple fermentation. Low nitrogen availability, which is characteristic of apples, may further exacerbate the e...

BACKGROUND Transgenic trees currently are being produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and biolistics. The future use of transformed trees on a commercial basis depends upon thorough evaluation of the potential environmental and public health risk of the modified plants, transgene stability over a prolonged period of time and the effect of the gene on tree and fruit characteristics. ...

physical properties of agricultural products such as volume are the most important parameters influencing grading and packaging systems. they should be measured accurately as they are considered for any good system design. image processing and neural network techniques are both non-destructive and useful methods which are recently used for such purpose. in this study, the images of apples were ...
