we examined the effectiveness of intermittent warming (iw), hot water (hw), salicylic acid (sa), and calcium chloride (cacl2) on the postharvest life of pomegranate fruit cv. ‘shishe-kab’ and extending fruit shelf life during cold storage (3°c). fruit were subjected to cycles of 1 d at 17 ± 1°c every 6 d of storage at 3°c under iw conditions. pre-storage treatments were hw (50°c) for 3 min, sa ...

in this study, the antimicrobial effect of sea cucumber extract (0.5, 1 and 2%) on the microbial population of rainbow trout fillets during refrigerated storage was examined. fillets were stored for 16 days and every 4 days microbial tests (including total bacterial load, pseudomonas, enterobacteriaceae and h2s producing bacteria) were performed on the samples. results showed that there was no ...

in this research, the effect of different storage conditions (cold, semi technical and traditional storages) at 180 days after storage on the qualitative and quantitive properties of garlic populations were investigated. white and pink populations were packaged in wooden boxes and net pockets and factors i. e. weight loss, moisture content, spoilage, firmness and total pyruvic acid were measure...

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is a widely used medicinal plant possessing several pharmacological effects due to presence of active compounds. In order to study of seed priming effects on seedling growth of chamomile, an experimental design, based on randomized complete design with three replications was conducted under greenhouse conditions in Research Institute of Forests and Rangeland...

irradiation is known to inhibit waste in stored garlic. treatment time and optimum irradiation dosage are two key factors in achieving the least waste in this process. these two factors were investigated on white ecotype bulbs from hamedan, iran that were irradiated after harvest for 30 and 45 days using fast electrons at dosages of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150 gy. different properties of the ga...

The impact of chemical desiccation on yield showed contrasting results depending on seedmoisture content at the time of application. Its effects on seed deterioration are still unknownand could be modified by seed composition. Objectives were to evaluate the impact of chemicaldesiccation on: i) hybrid sunflower seed yield and composition at harvest time, ii) seeddeterioration during long-term s...
