Although mycorrhizae applications have been widely used to improve the establishment and growth of agricultural crops, there no studies on their application in field-grown nectarine trees. In this work, a commercial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF; Glomus iranicum var. tenuihypharum) was applied by means fertigation inoculate young “Flariba” trees grown south-eastern Spain evaluate its effec...

In this paper, the quality detection of nectarines based on hyperspectral imaging technology is proposed. The external indexes consist intact, cracked, rust, dysmorphic and dark damaged, while internal index composed soluble solid content (SSC). Firstly, 480 nectarine samples (160 intact 320 defective nectarines) with similar shape size are selected. Secondly, 5 spectral principal components 6 ...

Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is characterised by the onset of anaphylaxis during (or soon after) exercise preceded by ingestion of a food allergen. In FDEIA, both food allergens and exercise are independently tolerated. This syndrome has been associated with wheat, seafood, peanut, egg, milk, vegetables and fruits. Rosaceae fruits may also be involved. There are two major...

Genotypic variation in composition and antioxidant activity was evaluated using 25 cultivars, 5 each of white-flesh nectarines, yellow-flesh nectarines, white-flesh peaches, yellow-flesh peaches, and plums, at the ripe (ready-to-eat) stage. The ranges of total ascorbic acid (vitamin C) (in mg/100 g of fresh weight) were 5-14 (white-flesh nectarines), 6-8 (yellow-flesh nectarines), 6-9 (white-fl...
