- Abstract:
- ... Ready to eat salad products have considerable added value. However, such products have increased perishability resulting in high wastage. Many leafy vegetables and fruits are susceptible to discolouration, and breeding crop varieties with reduced propensity to discolour offers a cost effective solution as growing them has no added costs. This project facilitates a genetic approach to controlling p ...

- Abstract:
- ... Red chicory is a leafy vegetable, currently used for the preparation of ready-to-eat salads that undergo heavy losses during cold storage mainly due to microbial soft rot development. In this work, chicory was stored at (1°C) in a passive refrigeration chamber with low doses of gaseous ozone (0.1-1 ppm) applied during 21 days in order to reduce postharvest losses. Conventional refrigeration in abs ...

- Abstract:
- ... For most vegetables, guidelines are available regarding optimum storage and handling. However, much of the basic research linking shelf life to temperature was conducted decades ago and may be based on different varieties, growing conditions and marketing chains. Furthermore, recommendations do not always consider commercial issues or the costs and returns on investment in improved product managem ...

- Abstract:
- ... Brown rot caused by the Monilinia genus, mainly by M. fructicola and M. laxa is the major pre- and postharvest decay in stone fruit in Spain. Biological control agents (BCAs) have been recently used trying to replace or employed together with the chemicals applied in the pre- and postharvest phase. Thus, a wide characterization of the biological control agents (BCAs) in terms of their growth at di ...

However, unless packaging is designed properly, it is not possible to achieve fast and uniform cooling despite the cost of energy for pumping water and air circulation inside the cooler. Three currently used packaging boxes (of carton, plastic and wood construc ...

In Israel the best production time is fall and winter, but to allow for year round supply cultivation and storage is necessary in the spring and summer months. Eight red and ten white cabbage cultivars were grown in net houses during the spring and their growth characteristics were examined ...

- Abstract:
- ... Tomato is one of the most widely cultivated horticultural crops. Despite an exponential increase in production, a translation into profit is absent especially in developing countries, due to many factors including postharvest losses. Postharvest quality is drastically influenced by fungal infection, of which Botrytis cinerea and Rhizopus stolonifer are the most commonly reported postharvest pathog ...

- Abstract:
- ... The occurrence of fruit fly infestation is a limiting factor for the guava production and can cause losses up to 100% when the fruits are grown in organic systems. The infestation index (I.I.) of fruit flies Anastrepha spp. was determined for 13 guava genotypes cultivated in an organic system, and its correlation with the physical-chemical characteristics of the fruit was also determined. The frui ...

- Abstract:
- ... Over the past decade, the blueberry industry both in South Africa and around the world has shown extensive growth. Blueberry fruit have become a valuable agricultural commodity, due to its high levels of anti-oxidants and other health benefits. The average storage life of blueberries is estimated to be between 35 and 40 days, where postharvest fungal infections are the greatest limiting factor for ...

'Sable Seedless®' was stored under ambient atmosphere or under CA conditions of 5 kPa O(2) and 5, 10 and 15 kPa of CO(2). The level of decay in the experiment was low, in part because the fruit were sanitized with ethano ...

- Abstract:
- ... Several of the plant species grown in calcareous soils in arid and semi-arid regions are iron-deficient, a condition known as iron chlorosis. Strawberry shows a wide genotypic variation in tolerance to iron deficiency and foliar sprays can be a cheap and environmental-friendly alternative to soil treatments to control iron chlorosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of diffe ...
