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 Fruits were stored at 5, 8 and 15° C with 85–90% relative humidity and withdrawn weekly from cold storage and kept at ambient condition (18–20° C and 65–70% RH) for analysis.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, ...

Best Ripening Chambers Manufacturer In Pune - 2023
The Ripening chamber is used to ripen fruits such as bananas, mangoes, and papayas. There are many ways to ripen fruits, but the most common method is “ethylene ripening”. Ethylene is sufficient to naturally stimulate immature fruits.Climacteric fruits such as bananas, mangoes, and papayas are used to ripen using ethylene gas in a closed room under controlled conditions of humidity, temperature, ...

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 ...

Some initial changes in `Hass` avocado (Persea Americana Mill.) physiology due to ethephon
Ethylene is used commercially to hasten ripening of avocados, but the presence of ethylene in the storage atmosphere can increase the risk of physiological disorders. To investigate the short term effect of ethylene on avocado physiology, fruit were dipped in a low concentration ethephon solution. The ethephon treatment significantly increased the ethylene production rate of avocados after 6 h, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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; ...

Postharvest technologies for extending the shelf life of ornamental crops
1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and other cyclopropenes block ethylene responses in plants at the receptor level. 1-MCP is commercially available under the trade name of EthylBloc® and SmartFresh™. It is very effective in blocking ethylene responses in a range of ornamental crops, fruits and vegetables. Some recently prepared 1-substituted cyclopropenes inactivate the receptor even for a longer time ...

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 ...

Identifying causes of mechanical defects and critical control points in fruit supply chains: an overview of a banana supply chain
The issue of food losses is of high importance in the efforts to combat hunger, raise income and improve food security in many developing countries. Therefore, there is need to minimise food losses in agri–food supply chains. This study was conducted with the aim to identify causes of mechanical defects in banana fruit supply chain in Zimbabwe and to also establish critical control points at ...

Remote Quality monitoring in the Banana chain
A recently published paper [Remote Quality Monitoring in the Banana Chain, Jedermann et al; Philosophical Transactions A 2015; 373(issue2038)] provides a novel approach for the control of quality problems in the transportation of bananas. The authors present different models to predict the effects of the atmosphere in the storage stability of banana, as well as to evaluate the cooling efficiency, ...

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 ...

Monitoring Ethylene (C2H4) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in Ripening Rooms
As fruit and vegetables ripen, they release ethylene, a naturally occurring growth hormone. To be profitable and meet demands, commercial fresh produce companies need to speed up the ripening process in a uniform and predictable way, which is achieved by adding more ethylene in a controlled environment. Typically the fresh produce is placed in air-tight ripening rooms and ethylene is introduced ...

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 ...
