Post harvest treatment of adansonia digitata (baobab) fruits in Zimbabwe and the potential of making yoghurt from the pulp
Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) pulp has many food uses and is reported to be rich in micronutrients and antioxidant compounds. The current study was focused on the survey of different postharvest treatments of baobab pulp and optimisation of ingredient levels for the production of baobab flavoured yoghurt. Various postharvest treatments of the pulp and food products from the pulp were reported. ...

Influence of post-harvest treatments on modified atmosphere low temperature stored Gladiolus cut spikes
Influence of post-harvest treatments viz., pulsing and preservative solution comprising of 8-hydroxy quinoline (8-HQ) and sucrose on modified atmosphere low temperature (MALT) stored gladioli were investigated. MALT storage of Gladiolus comprised of polypropylene (60 µ) packaging and storage at 6-10°C temperature for a duration of 5, 10 and 15 days. The pre-storage pulse treatment (300 ppm 8-HQ ...

Influence of nonoptimal ripener applications and postharvest residue retention on sugarcane second ratoon yields
Retention of sugarcane (interspecific hybrids of Saccharum spp.) postharvest residue and certain glyphosate ripener application regimes may independently reduce yields of the subsequent ratoon crop in wet climates. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of ripener application and ripener treatment to harvest intervals (THI) on yields of the treated first ratoon, and the ...

Effect of calcium dips combined with mild heating on postharvest life and quality of strawberry
The effect of calcium dips combined with mild heat treatment on quality and postharvest life of strawberries (cv. BARI strawberry–1) was studied. Immediately after harvest, strawberries were treated by dipping in distilled water, CaCl2 solutions at 1%, 2% and 3% for 15 min at 45°C and left untreated. Subsequently, the fruits were stored at 10°C with 80 ± 5% RH for 8 days. The effectiveness of the ...

Combination effects of postharvest treatments and modified atmosphere packaging on shelf life and quality of Iranian pomegranate fruit cv. Sheshi–kab
The main objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of individual application and combination effect of different postharvest treatments in both unpacked and modified atmosphere (MA) packed on reducing the occurrence of chilling injury, decay and subsequently on extending shelf life and quality improvement of pomegranate fruit during long–term cold storage. Treatments were hot water ...

Advances in control of postharvest diseases in tropical fresh produce
With increased global trade, fresh produce is increasingly being moved over vast distances to foreign markets. This requires effective cold chain and product management practices to ensure premium quality fresh produce with increased shelf life. Product safety has now also become an additional minimum requirement for market entry. Producers should therefore take cognisance of the impact ...

Reduction of guava anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) by hot water treatments of fruits from organic or conventional system of production
Anthracnose [Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz). Sacc.] is one of the most important post–harvest diseases on guava fruits (Psidium guajava L.). The study was conducted to evaluate the hydrothermal effects on disease incidence and on fruit quality [fresh weight loss (FWL), pH, total of soluble solids (TSS), and acidity (Ac)] from conventional and organic system of production. Trials were ...
