Some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (Semsouri and Shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. The physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (GMD), specific gravity (SG), mean firmness (MF), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). The chemical compositions were Brix, Titrable Acidity (T...

In this study the effects of plant growth regulators including; GA3 (0 and 50 mg/l) and ethephon (0 and 500 mg/l) were studied on the quality properties of two grape cultivars (Perlette and Yaghuti). At the harvest time, some physicochemical characteristics such as fruit cluster weight, fruit diameter, length, volume and L/D ratio, flesh firmness, fresh weight, TA, pH, TSS and fruit color were ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the red flesh apples and golab cultivars. two iranian red flesh apples from shahroud and four golab cultivars as well as ‘gala’ as control from damavand were selected in summer 2012. fruit physical characteristics including length, diameter, fresh weight and dry weight, firmness, color and their parameters were evaluated for each cultivar. the...

in this study, the physical properties (size, mass, volume, density, geometric diameter, sphericity and friction coefficient on galvanized steel and wood surface) and some mechanical properties of flesh and skin tissue (modulus of elasticity, bioyield stress, yield strain and toughness) for small, medium and large melons of ghasri variety were determined. means comparison was done by duncan’s m...

Prolonging the marketing period of peach fruits in Egypt through introducing new cultivars, breaking dormancy early or delaying maturity of some cultivars by safe compounds would increase the growers' profits. This study was conducted during two successive seasons 2005 and 2006 by using "Desert Red" peach cultivar (Prunus persica L.) grafted on Nemaguard rootstock. Trees were grown at El-Noubar...

Effect of different fruit position on postharvest quality of F1 hybrid redfleshed watermelon Hi-U 16 was examined. In this study only one main vine was trained and maintained. The plants were allowed to set three fruits naturally at the first (8th - 11th nodes), second (13th - 16th nodes) and third (18th - 21th nodes) position. Fruits were harvested at 35 days after anthesis. Fruit weight, diam...
