strawberry (fragaria ananassa duch.) is a good source of natural antioxidants. fruits from eight strawberry (fragaria ananassa duch.) cultivars (‘kurdistan’, ‘merck’, ‘camarosa’, ‘paros’, ‘queen elisa’, ‘ventana’, ‘selva’ and ‘pajaro’) were harvested at ripen stage and analyzed for total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content, vitamin c, total soluble solid and total antioxidant activity. ...

In this study, the effectiveness of chitosan coating treatment to control weight loss and maintaining fruit quality of apricot was investigated. Fruits were coated with 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% chitosan as well as distilled water (control). Following treatments, fruits were stored at 0?C and 80 ? 2% relative humidity for 25 days. The weight loss, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA)...

in order to maintain the quality and increase the shelf life of fruits, many studies have been carried out in terms of the packaging specially applications of the nano-composite packages in the packaging. because of the low storage ability of the plum fruit, in this study, the effects of the four nano-composite packages and common polyethylene (as a control) were analyzed on maintaining quality...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of packaging materials, seasonality, storage temperature and time on physiochemical and antioxidant properties of roselle-mango juice blends. Roselle extract (20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%) was mixed with mango juice and stored in glass and plastic bottles at 4°C and 28°C. Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar, color, vitamin C, tot...

the effect of different concentration of salicylic acid (0, 1 and 2 mmoll-1) and chitosan (0, 0.5 and 1 percent) on postharvest life and quality of selva strawberry fruit during storage at 2.5±0.5°c with 85-95% rh for 7 and 14 days was studied. decay incidence, marketability, total soluble solids, total acidity, vitamin c content and total antioxidant activity were evaluated during storage. chi...

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacities of “Phulae” and “Nanglae” pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr) which are important geographical indications of Chiang Rai, Thailand were investigated. Two pineapple varieties were collected at 20-40 % yellow peel colour. Total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), total polyphenols, β-carotene, vitamin C and antioxidant capacity (ferric redu...

Abstract Chemical properties ( L -ascorbic acid and total sugars content, pH, titratable acidity, dry solid content), phenolic compounds (total phenolics, tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols) antioxidant capacity were measured in ripe fruits of wild-growing strawberry, bilberry, elderberry from eastern Serbia. All three selected are rich sources nutraceuticals: vitamin C, sugars, di...

in order to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of postharvest salicylic acid and calcium chloride on shelf life, quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of peach fruit cv. amesden, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized completely design with three replications. fruits were harvested at the commercial ripening stage, and fruits were immerged in differ...

because of the harmful effects of chemicals on human health and environment, use of these compounds in postharvest technology of agricultural crops is recently restricted and it is necessary to find safe compounds for use in postharvest technology of fruits and vegetables. in this study, effects of salicylic acid and aloe vera gel on quality attributes and postharvest life of table grape(cv. gi...
