Mature-green tomato fruits were soaked in hot water for 10 minutes at 35, 40, 45 or 50°C and then stored at 13°C for 20 days. Untreated fruits were soaking with tap water (22°C). The study showed that exposing fruit to hot water influenced peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) activities. Activity of the two enzymes increased with the increasing of soaking temperature, except for the 50°C treatme...

This study reports a characterization of the nutritional quality several vegetables belonging to Brassica genus and other species cultivated in central Italy. The aim this trial is investigate antioxidant capacity phytochemical content vegetable products during two consecutive years. sensorial investigated with measuring soluble solid (SSC), titratable acidity (TA) pH; by measurement total (TAC...

Background: Paraquat is nonselective bipyridyl herbicide that induces hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress. Vitamin C and chitosan have antioxidant as well as radical scavenger properties and show protective effects against reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present study, hepatoprotective effects of chitosan and vitamin C were evaluated in common carp exposed to paraquat. Methods: Whi...

The present experiment was carried on five superior cultivars of litchi fruit in the Department Horticulture Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, during 2020-2021. All biochemical parameters studied under this were found to be significant character. Generally, most parameters, cultivar Bilati recorded highest among all, such as juice content (13.62cc), reducing sugar (8.37%), invert (17.44%),...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the storage life and quality of persimmon (diospyros kaki thunb.) fruit cv. ‘karaj’ stored at 0°c for 4 months after postharvest calcium chloride treatment. fruit weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, total phenolic content, soluble tannin content, chilling injury, antioxidant activity, electrolyte leakage, and malondi...

The reduction in shelf-life and nutritional value of cauliflower florets are the most vital problems during cold storage. This research was performed to explore impact pre-harvest foliar implementation proline (PR), methionine (MT), melatonin (ML), at a rate 25 mg.L−1, on active composites (cv. ‘Arasya’) stored 10 °C for 14 d. obtained results exhibited that from treated plants with PR, MT, ML ...

Present research investigation was aimed at morphological and biochemical assessment of Passiflora quadrangularis L. commonly known as giant granadilla locally called vegetable squash grown crop by the Adi tribe Arunachal Pradesh. Seven genotypes collected during survey were characterized for different traits. Results showed that average fruit weight 432.57g/fruit, with juice content 100.11 mL/...
