application of edible coatings to enhance storage life of fresh fruit has recently been under considerable attention. this experiment was conducted in order to explore the effect of chitosan coating and storage temperature on the postharvest life of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) fruit. therefore, pomegranate fruits ‘rabbab-e-neyriz’ were dipped in 0, 1 and 2% aqueous chitosan solutions, air ...

The present study aimed to explore and explain maturity of employee based on quality of work life. This work used Delphi survey through a researcher- made questionnaire to collect data. Confirmatory factor analysis and descriptive statistic are used to survey the data. In comparison with the present standards, both factors have a good statue. For components 'quality of working life' and ' matur...

Wind, in the duration of its erosional process, affects considerable changes in a grain's morphologyfrom its removal (detachment) step to sedimentation. In other word, a grain undergoes its gradualevolution during the transit process. In this project, the maturation of Aeolian sand grains had beenstudied upon as based on texture maturity indicator which includes: sorting, mean size grain, round...

Length, weight, structural index and sexual maturity in tambaqui Colossoma macropomum were analysed. 449 specimens were obtained from the commercial fishing fleet arriving at Manaus Harbour from the floodplain areas from May 1992 to July 1993. The objective of this study is to describe changes in structural index during one hidrological cycle and to interpret them according to the water level f...

The ripeness of grapes at the harvest time is one of the most important parameters for obtaining high quality red wines. Traditionally the decision of harvesting is to be taken only after analysing sugar concentration, titratable acidity and pH of the grape juice (technological maturity). However, these parameters only provide information about the pulp ripeness and overlook the real degree of ...

Histological changes and maturity stages during the reproductive cycle of the ovaries of Klunzinger's Mullet (Liza klunzingeri) were investigated. The evaluation of the spawning season was carried out based on monthly samples from 3 stations in the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea. Sex ratio was approximately 1:3 (M: F). The maturity stages of female L. Kluningeri are: Virgin, Developing Virgin, D...
