Multispectral imaging with 19 wavelengths in the range of 405-970 nm has been evaluated for nondestructive determination of firmness, total soluble solids (TSS) content and ripeness stage in strawberry fruit. Several analysis approaches, including partial least squares (PLS), support vector machine (SVM) and back propagation neural network (BPNN), were applied to develop theoretical models for ...

Soilless growing systems can improve water-use efficiency, especially in closed soilless systems. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects different transplanting conditions, and determine how supplying H2O2 as an oxygen source rhizosphere strawberry plants a system affects plant growth, fruit yield quality. Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) cv. ‘Fortuna’ were cultivated ...

Satsuma (Rize) Mandarin is Türkiye's most widely produced and exported mandarin variety. Due to its early ripeness seedlessness, (Citrus unshiu Marc.) a popular citrus fruit in domestic foreign markets. The present study was conducted at Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department Horticulture 2020-2021 determine the shelf-life genotypes obtained as result clonal selecti...

In this experiment the effect of edible coating (apricot gum) was used to extend the shelf life of apple slices. The edible coating was applied at different concentrations i.e. 0.5, 1, 2 and 3%. Physicochemical characteristics of edible coated apple slices were analyzed at different time intervals. The analysis was carried out for 12 days with an interval of 4 days. Results showed that the trea...

The current experiment was carried out to determine the effect of application ethephon on maturation “Peter” figs. Fig fruits were treated with three aqueous concentrations (500, 1000, and 1500 ppm) during developmental stage. physic-chemical characteristics, such as fruit weight, length, diameter, total soluble solids (TSS), acidity recorded analysed. results showed that period fig significant...

abstract effect of different concentrations of salicylic acid on postharvest life of kiwifruit (actinidia deliciosa) cultivar hayward at 0 ±.5 °c and 90-95% rh was studied. fruits were treated with salicylic acid (0, 1 and 2 mmol/l-1) and stored at 0±.5°c for 16 weeks. fruit quality attributes assessment including firmness, total acidity, soluble solid content, ascorbic acid, antioxidant activi...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of exogenous polyamines, isopropyl ester, 2, 4-D and naphthalene acetamide application on yield and quality of date palm of ‘Kabkab’ cultivar. The inflorescences sprayed with 2, 4-D isopropylester (0, 10, and 20 mg L-1), naphthalene acetamide (0, 80, and 120 mg L-1), putrescence and spermidine (0, 0.1, and 1.0 mM), three or six weeks after pollin...

Coffee pulp, mucilage, and beans with mucilage were used to develop alcoholic beverages. The pulp of 45.3% 54.7% seed, 9.4% only obtained during the wet processing coffee. Musts prepared for all TSS (Total soluble solid) 18 °Bx fermentation was carried out 12–16 days until decreased 5 at 30 °C. Phenolic characteristics, chromatic structures, chemical parameters, sensory characteristics analyzed...
