Abstract:
... The cultivation of passion fruit in Brazil is impaired due to the high level of infection by soil pathogens that cause premature death. The use of grafting is very promising, using Passiflora giberti as a rootstock and Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa as a scion. However, the yield is lower than non-grafted plants. By this reason, the use of grafting and maintenance of the two roots are presenting ...

Abstract:
... ‘Rojo Brillante’ persimmons can be commercialized as a fresh-cut commodity after removing natural fruit astringency by applying high levels of CO2. However, the shelf life of minimally-processed fruit is rather limited due to enzymatic browning and microbial growth. The aim of this study was to develop new edible coatings based on apple pectin with a combination of antioxidants and antimicrobi ...
