Sci., 16: 576-584 Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) was used to investigate the effects of salicylic acid (0.5 mM, 1 mM) and potassium permanganate treatments on fruit quality and storage life during storage for two years. After tr...

harvesting time of kiwifruit can influence quality characteristics. the current research was carried out according to a completely randomized design with three replications at faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan in 2009. weight loss, flesh firmness, total soluble solid (tss), titritable acidity (ta), ascorbic acid, total phenol content and antioxidant capacity of harvested fr...

Abstract Garifta-merah is one of the mango varieties released by Ministry Agriculture in 2009 with advantage having red-yellow peel when it reaches full maturity. The distinctive taste fruit flesh makes types mangoes favored consumers local and foreign countries. As a new variety, there not much data regarding mango, especially optimal maturity stage to harvest. This study aims determine physic...

Iron deficiency (ID) is the most prevalent nutrient deficiency within the developed world. This is of concern as ID has been shown to affect immunity, thermoregulation, work performance and cognition. Animal flesh foods provide the richest and most bioavailable source of dietary (haem) iron, however, it is unclear whether low animal flesh diets contribute to ID. This systematic review aimed to ...

Foliar application with calcium (Ca) fertilizers improves quality and flesh firmness of kiwifruit affects the mineral composition leaves fruits. The impact preharvest foliar sprays, using a commercial fertilizer organic Ca content in combination an integrated nutrient management (INM) biostimulants was assessed for properties nutritional status kiwi cv. ‘Hayward’ over 2-year period. Fruit incre...

The changes of texture and cell wall characteristics apricot were investigated in ten clones at two maturity stages. Fruit firmness, composition enzyme activity three flesh zones analysed. AIS (alcohol-insoluble solids) characterised by high amounts uronic acid (179–300 mg g−1 AIS) relatively cellulosic glucose (118–214 AIS). methylesterification degree varied significantly among the different ...
