Influence of aqueous 1–methylcyclopropene on postharvest ripening and quality of banana
The influence of aqueous 1–methylcyclopropene (1–MCP) on the ripening of harvested banana fruit cv. 'Cavendish' was investigated. Banana fruit at mature green stage were dipped in aqueous 1–MCP at 100, 200, 400 and 600 µg L−1 for 10 min, fan–forced air–dried and then stored at 20 ± 2°C and 85–90% RH for ripening over 30 days. Banana ripening was delayed when dipped in 100–600 µg L−1, however; ...

Effect of storage conditions on physico–chemical attributes and physiological responses of 'milk' (Musa spp., AAB group) banana during fruit ripening
Knowledge of fruit physico–chemical properties and physiological responses is important for the design and development of appropriate postharvest handling and storage systems to reduce losses and maintain quality. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in physico–chemical attributes and physiology of 'milk' banana cultivar at three ripening stages (unripe, fully ...

Why doesn`t fruit have a good color?
There are Five factors Temperature affacts coloring. Low temperature promotes the formation of anthocyanins, while high temperature has the opposite inhibitory effect, which is why fruit trees often appear in producing areas with high temperature for a long time during the coloring period, where the fruit is very sweet and the fruit is ripe, but its color has not yet reached the standard for ...

Know your fruits, berries and vegetables – make right sorting decisions
Detect blemishes and bruising under the skin, define ripeness and chemical quality independent of the fruit color and size, find and remove foreign materials like plastic, wood, paper, metal, or insects. Specim FX cameras can reveal much more than traditional color and filter cameras or point spectrometers. Achieve better quality, ripe products with optimized shelf life, and reduce ...

How to better color the fruit
Open the light path and promote coloring. Promote photosynthetic crops, promote fruit dry matter accumulation and soluble sugar accumulation, can better promote fruit color conversion. Proper fertilizer and water to promote coloring. In the fruit growth period, especially in the late growth period, it is necessary to continuously increase the application rate of potash fertilizer. Of course, ...

The use of treated wastewater and fertigation in greenhouse pepper crop as affecting growth and fruit quality
The performance and suitability of tertiary treated wastewater (TW) and/or fertigation (F) in pepper plants were studied over a 4-month period in greenhouse conditions. Four treatments were used consisting of (1) water, (2) water + F, (3) TW, and (4) TW + F. The F and/or TW application increased plant height and plant biomass compared with the control plants (irrigated with water) ...

Climacteric and non-climacteric fruits
Most fruits ripen due to the action of ethylene. Ethylene is the hormone known as "the ripening hormone". It is produced naturally in fruits causing the color, firmness, flavor and characteristic aromas of each fruit to change. However, once the fruit or vegetable has been collected, ethylene does not act in the same way in all cases. Depending on how ethylene intervenes on fruits, they are ...

Effects of chitosan–based coatings containing peppermint essential oil on the quality of post–harvest papaya fruit
Edible coatings comprised of antimicrobial polymers based on chitosan are promising technologies to preserve post–harvest fruit quality. In this study, we investigated the potential utility of a coating made from chitosan modified by N–acylation with fatty acid to preserve post–harvest papaya quality. Peppermint essential oil (EO) was added to the chitosan–based coatings as an antifungal agent. A ...

The Use of CO2 Monitoring in the Fruit Ripening and Conservation
Nothing says summer like biting into a juicy, perfectly ripe strawberry. A bright red package, with a soft, sweet aroma and a firm texture are all the signatures that the fruit is ripe and ready to be eaten. However, with just a day or two more, a fruit that may have been a delightful treat can become a mushy, flavourless mess and home to mould. Fruit ripening gas can play a big part in ensuring ...

The ethylene removal with Bi-On improves the conservation of Golden Japan plum
In the following article, we describe an independent test conducted to evaluate the effect of different conservation techniques, including the ethylene removal with potassium permanganate media, on the quality of Golden Japan plums. The Golden Japan plum variety is appreciated for its golden colour, firm texture, and taste, which is sweet, aromatic and refreshing.Plum is a climateric fruit, so ...
