Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE: Hormone treatment enhanced the content of osmotic substances under high-temperature conditions. The effect of ABA and BR treated separately is better than treated together. To determine the effect of abscisic acid (ABA), brassinolide (BR) and ABA + BR on grape quality under high-temperature stress, various metabolites were analyzed. Compared with the control (CK), DL-tryptophan, D-raf ...

Abstract:
... Methoxypyrazines (MPs) are a unique class of volatile compounds containing nitrogenous heterocyclics that impart green bell, vegetal and herbal odors to red grape berries and wines. In this study, the quality and MPs levels of grape berries from six representative red wine grape varieties were determined in the two consecutive years. The results showed that, at maturity, the highest total soluble ...

Abstract:
... Model updating for developed calibrations is critical for robust spectral analysis in fruit quality control. Existing methods have limitations that usually need sufficient samples for model recalibration and are mainly designed for conventional linear models. This study proposes a model fine-tuning approach to update nonlinear deep learning models using limited sample sizes for fruit detection und ...

Abstract:
... Pear being climacteric in nature has short storage life resulting in rapid loss of fruit quality after harvest. The present study aimed to determine the efficacy of composite coating of chitosan (CH) and salicylic acid (SA) on storage life and overall fruit quality of pear under cold and supermarket storage conditions. Application of combined CH + SA coatings delayed ripening index and reduced phy ...
... Effects of cysteine (Cys) treatments (0, 0.01%, 0.05% and 0.10%) on sensory quality and bioactive compounds in goji fruit stored at 4 °C and 90% RH for 10 d were investigated. Results indicated that 0.05% Cys treatment significantly reduced decay ratio and weight loss, and maintained total soluble solid content in goji fruit. Furthermore, 0.05% Cys treatment increased the contents of total phenoli ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Growing altitude might have an effect on the quality of fresh apple and therefore on the perception of sensory attributes and on acceptance by consumers. On the other hand, extrinsic information provided to the consumer might affect consumer acceptability and sensory perception of the fruit's main quality traits. The main objective of this work was to study the effect of the growing al ...
... Information about 1-MCP application time on pears is crucial to optimize the schedule of treatment in commercial practice. In the present work, the effect of a 3, 5 and 7 d delay of 1-MCP treatment after harvest on ‘Bosc Kobak’ pears was investigated, with an emphasis on shelf life. Fruit was treated with 1-MCP (625 ppm) on the 3rd, 5th and 7th d after harvest for 24 h and then kept at 20 °C for 1 ...

Abstract:
... Sweet sorghum is a promising source of ethanol production. In this sense, the investigation of genetic diversity aims to direct heterotic crosses and identify populations that display transgressive segregation in advanced generations. For this, two experiments consisting of 10 sweet sorghum genotypes were installed in 2015/16 at the municipalities of Sinop, in the state of Mato Grosso (MT), and Pa ...
... Purpose: Mango is known as one of the most important fruits for its delicious taste, flavor and high nutritional properties. However, due to the perishability and short shelf life of fruit, safe treatments are needed for increasing shelf life of fruit. This experiment carried out to elucidate effects of postharvest UV-C and calcium ascorbate (CaA) on quality of mango fruit during cold storage. Res ...

... This study focused on the effects of maturity, ripening, and fermentation time of the Prunus mume fruit (maesil in Korean) on the physicochemical, functional, and microbial properties of maesil sugar syrup during a 1-year fermentation period. All syrup samples exhibited pH values of 2.28–2.89 throughout the study. Soluble solid, moisture, and ash contents were 48.37–57.67 °Brix, 3.87–8.22%, and 0. ...
... Mango is heavily affected by rapid off-tree ripening progression with an excessive fruit softening that eventually limits its marketability. The comprehension of the physiological events occurring in the post-climacteric/senescent phase can contribute to the identification of possible solutions for the improvement of shelf life. In this study, the ripening process of mangoes cv Keitt was monitored ...

Abstract:
... Increasing demand for fresh tomato across the globe has necessitated imperative mechanism such as packaging materials for storage to extend shelf-life. In this study, shelf-life extension of tomato was studied using three packaging materials under two temperatures. The results with much emphasis on statistical interpretation revealed that the non-perforated high-density polyethylene (N-PHD) was ef ...

In order to perfect the cherry germplasm descriptors system, and effectively rate on characters in DUS (distinctness, uniformity, stability) testing, we comprehensively investigated and analyzed 38 Chinese cherry phenotypes, including phenological records, flower ...
... This study aimed to characterize goji berry (Lycium barbarum L.) fruit across different stages of maturity and ripening in terms of color, firmness, phytochemicals, and metabolic behavior. According to the producer's indication, the goji berry fruit was divided into six classes: early immature (green) to fully ripe (full red). Several maturity indexes were monitored for all classes, including dime ...
