harvesting time of kiwifruit can influence quality characteristics. the current research was carried out according to a completely randomized design with three replications at faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan in 2009. weight loss, flesh firmness, total soluble solid (tss), titritable acidity (ta), ascorbic acid, total phenol content and antioxidant capacity of harvested fr...

to determine the relationship between yield and components of it and identify the effective traits on yield, 97 tomato landraces from west azarbaijan in iran (83 landraces) and iğdır in turkey (14 landraces) along with three commercial cultivars were studied using an alpha lattice design with two replications. the experiment was carried out at the agriculture and natural resources research cent...

C quality is important to fruit and vegetable growers, buyers, and handlers. °Brix readings indicate soluble solids content. Since soluble solids represent a product’s potential sweetness (an aspect of quality), °Brix readings can interest many throughout the value chain. Three steps are required to make effective use of °Brix readings: (1) obtain accurate representative values; (2) become fami...

This study was conducted to determine some pomological characteristics and macromicro nutrient contents of both leaves and fruits of 11 Feijoa genotypes (Feijoa sellowiana Berg.) selected from Sakarya Province in Turkey. For these genotypes, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit width, soluble solid content and fruit acidity values ranged between 18.57 – 40.00 g, 27.74 -59.95 mm, and 23.42-39.43 mm...

in this research, kiwifruits (hayward) were selected in two mass ranges (large and small). they were placed in one-liter glass bottles in the vicinity of the polyethylene sachets containing potassium permanganate nano-zeolite (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g) and were stored in a germinator (5°c temperature and 30% relative humidity). then, the physicochemical properties of the fruits (soluble solid cont...

The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is an invasive pest from Asia that feeds on many agricultural crops in the United States, including blueberries. Yet, the effects of H. halys feeding on fruit chemistry and induced resistance to insects remain unknown. Here we hypothesized that frugivory by H. halys changes fruit chemical composition, which in turn affects insect feeding...

In the present study, fruit physiology and sugar-acid ratio of 24 pomelo cultivars grown in ten different locations subtropical region China were measured. The contents soluble sugars organic acids quantified using high-performance (HPLC-MS) ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), respectively. results revealed that physiological basic quality attributes cultivars, ...

Bushfire smoke can affect the composition and sensory properties of grapes and wines, in some cases leading to wines which exhibit undesirable "smoky", "ashy" and "medicinal" characters. This study investigated the extent to which fruit maturity (i.e., ripeness) influences the perception of smoke taint in wine. Two white grape varieties (Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc) and two red grape varieti...

Fruit bars are prepared by combining different ingredients which wholesome and nutrient rich. The current study was designed to develop roselle–fig (different proportions) fruit further investigate their physicochemical characteristics antioxidant potential. Moreover, the were scrutinized for microbial sensory assess appropriateness of during storage (up 90 days). It observed that there gradual...
