Fruit quality is strongly affected by genotype and harvest date. In this study, parameters regarding fruit quality, bioactive compounds, antioxidant capacity of different strawberry cultivars at three harvesting dates were quantified to elucidate the influence date on quality. The results showed that was major contributor appearance color, TSS, TA, TSS/TA ratio strawberries, while mainly firmne...

Winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) is highly popular due to its attractive taste and flavor of fruits. However, cultivation facing a serious obstacle for the substantial decrease in fruit soluble solids contents. In this study, four commonly-used fertilization types, including organic manure application (OM), combined NPK fertilizer (OC), at high rate (HC) low (LC) were selected ...

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 ...

1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), being applied in postharvest treatment of apples as an inhibitor ethylene perception, contributes to improved quality during 6 weeks simulated long-distance transportation, but it was not studied if this period may be prolonged. The aim the present study assess possibility apply 1-MCP maintain Idared for transportation prolonged 8 weeks. either alone, or combined w...

the harvest date more influenced on postharvest quality during storage. in present study, fruits were harvested at four date base on total soluble solids content (5.5, 6.5, 7.5, and 8.5%) and then stored at 0.5 ºc and 80-90% rh, for 18 weeks. the samples were taken in 6th, 12th and 18th interval weeks and evaluated some parameters including weightless, losses, firmness, tss, ta, tss/ta, ascorbi...

Mango and mangosteen are commercially important tropical fruits with a short shelf life. Fruit processing is one of the alternatives to extend life these fruits. Purée processed products fresh fruit. In this research, quality mango purée was analyzed. Titratable acidity (TA) total soluble solids (TSS) were predicted using non-destructive near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. A partial least squares...

grapevine is one of the very important fruit crops in iran the fruit of which is used as table grape and/or raisins. in this study, some genetic parameters (phenotypic and genetic correlation, heritability and repeatability), of some important traits in table grape (date of ripening, weight, length and width of berry as well as attachment to cluster strength) were evaluated. results showed high...
