Chilling injury as an indicator of critical temperature for cold storage of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Allahabad Safeda
The critical temperature for cold storage of guava cutivar Allahabad Safeda and the changes in physico-chemical attributes during its storage were studied. Fruits were stored at 5, 8 and 15° C with 85–90% relative humidity and withdrawn weekly from cold storage and kept at ambient condition (18–20° C and 65–70% RH) for analysis. Chilling Injury (CI) symptoms, characterised by browning of peel, ...

Bi-On reduces the incidence of oleocellosis in Navel oranges
Citrus fruit exhibit low levels of ethylene production and are classified as non-climacteric fruit. Although the citrus fruits produce only small amounts of ethylene it is well known that the fruit do respond to ethylene. Such as non-climacteric fruits, ethylene exposure does not hasten fruit ripening but accelerates fruit senescence. Certain unwanted responses of citrus fruit to ethylene in ...

Study of visual, sensorial and physicochemical characteristics of Tommy Atkins mangoes submitted to ionising radiation as a method of postharvest conservation
With the objective of evaluating the effect of ionising radiation on the main characteristics of postharvest quality of mangoes (Mangifera indica L), fruit of Tommy Atkins cultivar have been irradiated with gamma rays from a cobalt-60 source. Doses of 200, 400 and 600 Gy were applied, and non-irradiated fruit served as control. After being stored for 15 days at 11.5?C, to simulate transport ...

Low oxygen pre-storage treatment is effective in reducing chilling injuries of deciduous fruit
Apple and pear fruits stored at low temperatures may suffer from chilling injury symptoms, caused by oxidative stress. Application of a low-oxygen (LO 2 ) atmosphere (0.5%) for 10 d at 20°C or 500 ppb 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) at 20°C for 24 h, prior to cold storage at 0°C, were equally effective in reducing superficial scald on ‘Granny Smith’ apples, after six months of cold storage at 0°C ...

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 ...

Ethylene removal by chemisorption. Postharvest technology for kiwi
Abstract Iran ranks seventh in the world for kiwi production, with over 3200 MT produced in 2012. Kiwifruit can be stored for over 6 months under appropriate conditions, but fruit softening and fruit rots (Botrytis cinerea) can cause severe losses during cold storage, transit, distribution and retail. Kiwifruit is a climacteric fruit very sensitive even at very low concentrations of ethylene ...

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 ...

NIR Vs. Penetrometer to judge produce quality
Though firmness has been popularly used to assess the quality of fruit, fruit dry matter is now increasingly being used instead. It is necessary to understand both traits to find the reason behind this shift in preference. Dry Matter When water is removed from produce, what is left are the solids, or the dry matter. The dry matter (DM) of plants is made up of many soluble compounds, called the ...

From Farm to Market: Fruit Ripening
Fruit has a brief window where it is perfectly ripe. If farmers waited until every piece of fruit was ripe before harvesting, farming would be more labor-intensive as farmers rushed to pick ripe fruits. Prices might crash due to a short-term glut of fruit on the market. To ensure a steady supply and demand, keep prices competitive, and reduce food waste, farmers use artificial ripening ...
