The increasing adoption of dicamba-tolerant soybean ( Glycine max ) increases the potential exposure wine grape Vitis sp.) to dicamba, which off-target injury may occur via particle drift or vapor drift. In Missouri, at one site in 2017 and two sites 2018, research production vineyards focused on effects dicamba hybrid ‘Vidal blanc’ grapevines. During flowering early fruit set, bearing grapevin...

The survey work for identifying elite jackfruit type was initiated in the year 2015 season. During season, 27 types identified through an extensive were spread 4 districts viz., North Canara (2 types), Chikmagalore (6 Tumkur (16 types) and Hassan (3 types). Analysis of variance 30 characters jackfruits revealed a greater variability zone. Flake thickness, bulb length TSS exhibited considerable ...

Enzymatic browning is one of the reactions influencing quality some fruit juices such as quince juice. Nowadays, there an increased demand for application antibrowning agents. This research was aimed at effects using each ethanolic and aqueous apple peel extracts (EAPE, AAPE) in two concentrations (0.3 3%) inhibitor agents polyphenol oxidase activity (PPO) juice their on index (BI), total solub...

A circular gravity-phase separator using coalescing medium with cross flow was developed to remove oil and suspended solids from wastewaters. Coalescence medium in the form of inclined plates promotes rising of oil droplets through coalescence and settling of solid particles through coagulation. It exhibits 22.67% higher removal of total suspended solids (TSS) compared to separators without coa...

To understand the potential of application of tea polyphenols to the shelf life extension and quality maintenance of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) fruit, the fruits were dipped into a solution of 1% tea phenols for 5 min before cold storage at 4 °C. Changes in browning index, contents of anthocyanins and phenolic compounds, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities, O2.- prod...

Passionfruit (Passiflora edulis, Sims, cultivar "Sweetheart") were subject to gamma irradiation at levels suitable for phytosanitary purposes (0, 150, 400 and 1000 Gy) then stored at 8 °C and assessed for fruit quality and total ascorbic acid concentration after one and fourteen days. Irradiation at any dose (≤1000 Gy) did not affect passionfruit quality (overall fruit quality, colour, firmness...

The multilocational studies were conducted to evaluate 21 hybrids of tomato in Pratapgarh(Uttar Pradesh), Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) and Burdwan (West Bengal), India during August–February 2015–16 2016–17. Data on four quality traits viz., total soluble solids, titrable acidity, carotene content lycopene estimated. Combined analysis variance (ANOVA) revealed significant effects locations, genotyp...

Kiwifruit [Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev.)C. F. Liang & A. R. Ferguson] is nutritionally rich fruit with high ascorbic acid content (193mg/100g) but the extraction of its juice is difficult due to slimy pulp.To overcome this problem a combination of enzymes (pectinase 0.025g/kg + amylase 0.025g/kg + mash enzyme 0.05g/kg) were used to macerate pulp (2h at 50C) and thus, facilitating the extractio...

‘smyrna’ type figs (zidi ‘zd’: dark fruit and thgagli ‘thg’; bidhi ‘bd’ and khedri ‘khd’: white fruit) originated from two areas of fig production in tunisia were subject to physico-chemical description and spectrophotometric analysis for their sugar (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and organic acid (citric and malic) contents. fruit weight ranged between 54 and 82 g, fruit width between 47 and ...

Sixteen irrigation treatments were applied on Persian lime, based the combination of four soil moisture tensions (SMTs) used to define start irrigation: −10, −35, −60, and −85 kPa during phenological stages (PSs) flowering (FL) fruiting (FR). Variables evaluated were, among others: leaf water potential (Ψ), stomatal conductance (gs), fruit weight (FW), juice content (FJC), total soluble solids ...
