Exposure to hyperoxia (500-600 torr) or low pH (4.5) for 72 h or NaHCO3 infusion for 48 h were used to create chronic respiratory (RA) or metabolic acidosis (MA) or metabolic alkalosis in freshwater rainbow trout. During alkalosis, urine pH increased, and [titratable acidity (TA) -[Formula: see text]] and net H+ excretion became negative (net base excretion) with unchanged [Formula: see text] e...

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...

Abstract Flowers have received special attention not only for their ornamental nature but also nutraceutical, cosmetic, aromatic, and culinary properties. This study aimed to characterize physicochemical attributes the antioxidant capacity of flowers four gladiolus cultivars. The cultivars used were White Friendship, Rose Supreme, Jester, T704. We analyzed content total soluble solids (SS), tit...

some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (semsouri and shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. the physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (gmd), specific gravity (sg), mean firmness (mf), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). the chemical compositions were brix, titrable acidity (t...

Machine harvesting blueberry (Vaccinium sp.) alleviates labor costs and shortages but can reduce fruit quality. Installation of softer catching surfaces inside modified over-the-row harvesters (modified OTR) adjusting harvest intervals may improve quality packout. The objective this study was to determine the effect interval on fresh market northern highbush corymbosum L.) harvested using a OTR...

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)...

Choosing an excellent method to compare the aim characteristics of a large number cultivars simultaneously in sufficiently comprehensive way is often essential challenge for breeders. This article presents results assessment Estonian conditions 58 strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) various geographical origins according main economically useful markers. Based on two years data, were clustered sep...

Pitanga (Eugenia uniflora L.) is an exotic fruit species of significant economic importance. However, due to genetic variability, its exploitation hampered by the lack homogeneous production. In this scenario, study aimed select pitanga genotypes according physical and physicochemical parameters fruits grown under semi-arid conditions. The was developed at Federal Rural University Semi-Arid Reg...
