Acidity is one of the main determinants taste and quality melon fruit, together with sugars volatilecompounds. The aim this study was to investigate inheritance hydrogen potential (pH) titratable acidity in fruit.A randomized block design three replications used evaluate F1and F2generations backcrosses (RC1and RC2) ofthe Védrantais (Cucumis melo subsp. var. reticulatus) high pH low acidity, AC-...

Electrodialysis with monopolar ion exchange membranes was used to reduce the acid content of pineapple juice. It is an electrochemical membrane separation process in which electrically charged membranes and an electrical potential difference are used to separate ionic species in the pineapple juice from other uncharged components. Several physico-chemical (pH, titratable acidity and soluble sol...

in the present study application of x-ray computed tomography as a nondestructive technique for estimation of some qualitative parameters of pomegranate fruit was studied. for this purpose, three local cultivars of pomegranate fruit of fars province, iran that included; rabab malas, rabab torsh and khani kazeroon were used. the x-ray ct images of pomegranate fruits were prepared using ct-scan d...

The usefulness of nondestructive methods for measuring chlorophyll content in skin of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples and for evaluating quality parameters and fruit maturity using optical reflectance spectrometry was studied. The fruit weight, firmness, total soluble solids content and titratable acidity during vegetation period and short-term storage at 10°C of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples were measur...

Yogurt is the most important fermented dairy product. However, its per capita consumption in Iran is low. Production of flavored yogurt to create a variety of products can cause customer satisfaction and increase in per capita consumption. Flavored yogurt at three levels: 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 were prepared by adding Zoulang aqueous extract. The systems were prepared by following a factorial design,...

abstract: edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (wpc) and gellan gum (g) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of malus domestica cv golab apples. wpc and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (gly) were tested. postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

in this study the effects of plant growth regulators including; ga3 (0 and 50 mg/l) and ethephon (0 and 500 mg/l) were studied on the quality properties of two grape cultivars (perlette and yaghuti). at the harvest time, some physicochemical characteristics such as fruit cluster weight, fruit diameter, length, volume and l/d ratio, flesh firmness, fresh weight, ta, ph, tss and fruit color were ...

effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of f1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon hi-u 16 was examined. in this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. the plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. fruit weight, diam...
