Yellow-skinned ‘Tsugaru’, ‘Summer King’, and ‘Shinano Gold’ apples (Malus × domestica Borkh.) were coated with a mixture of edible sucrose monoesters fatty acid ethanol that had never been applied in those apple fruits, for up to 28 days after room temperature storage (DAS) evaluate their morphological characteristics, fruit qualities, antioxidant concentrations. The coating treatment significa...

The management of common apple diseases relies heavily on effective fungicide applications. However, the evolution of fungicide resistance by many pathogens has resulted in management failures and significant economic losses. With time and the increasing development of fungicide resistance in apple scab, and possibly bitter rot, more and more apple growers rely on Captan, an older fungicide, be...

Physiological storage disorders continue to cause sizable economic losses in a range of commercially important pomefruit cultivars. Given similar regimes, the incidence and severity browning apple cultivar ‘Braeburn’ can vary different years way that be explained by interaction preharvest seasonal orchard factors. Over three-year period (2016–2019) at Kompetenzzentrum Obstbau Bodensee (KOB) Sou...

Near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), Raman spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging (HSI) were comprehensively compared for their capacity to evaluate the composition texture characteristics of apple purees issued from a large variability (cultivar, fruit thinning, post-harvest mealy processing). NIR, MIR HSI techniques had good ability estimate puree such as soluble solids (RPD >2.5), titrat...

Over the last two decades, India’s food system with population surge has been undergoing a transformation increase in demand for high value fruits and vegetables. However, farmers are not benefitted from these transitions as post-harvest losses fairly due to poorly developed management practices. The present study aims estimate nature extent of also analysed determinants major vegetables (gourd...
