Abstract:
... Post-harvest diseases of apple can cause considerable economic losses. Thus, we developed DSSApple, an interactive web-based decision support system, that helps users to diagnose post-harvest diseases of domesticated apple based on observed macroscopic symptoms on fruit. Specifically, DSSApple is designed as a two-stream hybrid diagnostic tool, that can be effectively used by both expert and non-e ...

Prebiotic is a food component resistant to gastric acidity, digestion by mammalian enzymes and gastrointestinal absorption. But following fermentation in the colon, prebiotics result in specific changes in the composi ...
