Introduction: Bruising is a type of mechanical damage that challenges fresh horticulture production efforts, which occurs mainly due to excessive compression and impact forces during postharvest operations resulting in quality deterioration produce reduction economic value. Objective: This study aims assess the bruise susceptibility imported pears determine its effect on pear attributes. Materi...

In order to investigate the effects of different irrigation management on textural properties two double-cropping late Indica rice, three including conventional (CK), constant (CI) and alternate wetting drying (AWD) has been researched under field conditions years. The results indicated that firmness, cohesiveness chewiness were decreased AWD treatment, stickiness was increased compared ...

This study investigated the effects of a novel antibacterial film based on chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose, sodium alginate, tea polyphenols, ascorbic acid, and tangelo peel extract postharvest quality reactive oxygen species metabolism fruit during storage. The composite significantly reduced decay rate weight loss, delayed reduction in total soluble solids titratable acidity, retained firmn...

INTRODUCTION Acute coagulopathy of trauma (aCOT) is a state of disordered coagulation developing soon after severe injury and blood loss and has been defined in the clinical literature as an elevation in prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop a rat model of aCOT resulting from polytrauma and hemorrhage and sho...

The optimization of nitrogen application for root crops such as radish is important not only for yield and product quality (sponginess and hollowness) but also for the environment. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of four levels of N application (0, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1 N) on three radish cultivars (Saxa, Red Fuoko and White Ghiaccio) grown in pots in autumn/winter (from mid-October to mid...

abstract in this study, fresh pistachio of 'ohadi' and 'akbari' cultivars expose to the uv-c radiation with a wavelength of 0, 3, 6 and 12 kj/m2, then located at temperature of 1 ± 3 degrees celsius for 45 days. properties or attributes, including weight loss, stiffness and sensory evaluation of fresh pistachio after 20 and 45 days storage were measured. results showed that pistachio nut weight...
