pomegranate (punica granatum) is an important fruit crop cultivated for fruit and processing in the iran. delaying fruit harvest of pomegranate may increase fruit losses due to fruit cracking; however, early harvest may influence physical and biochemical indices of fruit. an experiment was carried out in 2011 at ‘baghmalek’ (north west of ahwaz, khuzestan province, iran) to determine the effect...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of maturity stages on physicochemical characteristics grapefruit (Citrus paradisi cv. ‘Shamber Tarnab’) under storage conditions for 60 days at ambient temperature (16±1 °C with 55-60% relative humidity). Grapefruits were harvested different stages, namely mature green (MG) and full ripe (FR). fruits both assessed physical quality parameter...

A detailed study was carried out with the postharvest mangoes (namely, the Langra and the Khirshapat) treated with different levels of Bavistin DF (BDF) solution (namely, 250, 500, and 750 ppm) for obtaining results on biochemical changes as well as storability of postharvest mango. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replicates. The results of the experim...

This study was carried out to assess the efficiency of a combined system consisting of up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor and down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) system for color removal from reactive dyes wastewater. The UASB reactor and DHS system were operated at HRT of 6 and 2.0 h., respectively. The results obtained indicated that, the combined system was quite effective for remova...

Chemometrics methods coupled with hyperspectral imaging technology in visible and near infrared (Vis/NIR) region (380-1030 nm) were introduced to assess total soluble solids (TSS) in mulberries. Hyperspectral images of 310 mulberries were acquired by hyperspectral reflectance imaging system (512 bands) and their corresponding TSS contents were measured by a Brix meter. Random frog (RF) method w...

In this study, the effectiveness of chitosan coating treatment to control weight loss and maintaining fruit quality of apricot was investigated. Fruits were coated with 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% chitosan as well as distilled water (control). Following treatments, fruits were stored at 0?C and 80 ? 2% relative humidity for 25 days. The weight loss, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA)...

Total suspended solids (TSS) are sediment material that floats in the water column moves without touching bed, influenced by input from land, river flow, and oceanography factors. TSS is closely related to sedimentation, which can harm aquatic ecosystems, especially coral reefs. This research was conducted using data as well flow for each season (May, June, October 2019, February March 2020) kn...

Pendangkalan PPN Pemangkat akibat sedimentasi sudah menjadi perhatian sejak beberapa tahun terakhir. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengidentifikasi 3 sumber yang berasal dari Sungai Sambas Besar, Prapakan Tanjung, dan Penjajap menentukan dominan penyuplai sedimen di dalam area pelabuhan. Data digunakan yaitu elevasi pasang surut, arus, debit aliran sungai, konsentrasi TSS. Hasil penelitian men...

the effect of the organic, integrated and conventional methods of kiwifruit cv. 'hayward' production on the fruit quality at its harvest time was investigated. such traits as fruit size, firmness, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta), total chlorophyll, total carotenoids, vitamin c, total phenol, flavonoid compounds (catechin, quercetin 3-glucoside and chlorogenic acid)...
