Humic acid (HA) is a kind of organic substance that has shown good effects in regard to promoting crop growth. In the current study, influences three kinds fertilizers mainly containing humic/fulvic acids, including water-soluble fertilizer humic (WHA), fulvic potassium (FAP), and distillate (FAD), on qualities ‘Eureka’ lemon fruits were investigated systematically at their different harvest ti...

Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) is a nutrient-rich fruit that has an acid and exotic flavor. It widely consumed in natura at tropical countries such as India Brazil. The aim of this study was to evaluate the application tamarind substrate for production wine. pulp from ripe fruits used produce wine three different proceedings: (1) whole pulp, (2) without insoluble solids (3) pH adjusted 4.5. In...

The size and quality of the melon fruit yield depend on cultivar, climatic agronomic factors. A three-year field experiment investigated effect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) application irrigation (IR) (Cucumis melo L. var. saccharinus Naud.) cultivars. study was conducted a certified organic farm located in south-eastern Poland (51.36° N, 22.83° E). factors were as follows: cultivar (Melb...

Over 60% Serbian soils are heavy, shallow and acidic, especially in west part of this country. Basically, Serbian fruit production is mainly represented in these conditions which are not favorable for intensive fruit growing. However, repair of these soils is a long and very expensive process. Regarding to this, one of the real ways to overcome this problem faster and cheaper is to grow toleran...

pepper belongs to the family of solanaceae that is being used as a food flavoring, a coloring agent, a pharmaceutical ingredient and in other innovative ways. this study was carried out to evaluation of genetic diversity in pepper genotypes using 40 morphological traits on 77 genotypes in augmented design with three controls. measuring of traits of pepper genotypes were performed based on ecpgr...

fruit leather is one of dried product with variable production, good marketing and popular consumption in many countries of the world. in this research, the effect of concentration temperature (55-75 °c) and time (20-40 min) and drying temperature (40-70 °c) on the chemical composition (brix, ph, sugars and vitamin c) and the microbial properties of apple leather investigated. the results showe...

Quality characteristics of tomato fruit will be affected by a number preand post harvest factors. In this study, the effect of maturity stage on post harvest quality characteristics of tomato was investigated. Tomato fruits of the same farmers‟ variety were harvested at mature-green, medium ripe and full-ripe stages. After harvesting, tomato samples were sliced and homogenized in blender for pr...

Most Japanese plum-type cultivars are self-incompatible and therefore cross pollination is necessary to ensure fruit set. Moreover, pollen can directly affect fruit development process and quality.  This study was carried out to investigate the effect of 6 pollen sources (‘Goje Sabz’, ‘Simka’, ‘Shablon’, ‘Methley’, ‘Myrobalan’ and ‘Black Star’) on  fruit quantitative and qualitative characteris...

A number of volatile compounds that contribute to orange flavor were quantified following high-temperature forced-air (HTFA) treatment of the fruit to determine if a relationship exists between the flavor loss that is observed following HTFA treatment and the volatile composition of the juice. Following different durations of HTFA treatment, fruit were stored for a period of 4 weeks and juiced ...
