This study was carried out to determine phenolic compounds phytochemical properties ( Morus nigra L.) genotypes collected from natural 2016-2017 province Uşak (Turkey). The investigated biochemical characteristics included: total soluble solids content (TSS), pH, titratable acidity, content, vitamin C antioxidant capacity (DPPH). highest values compounds,...

Propolis, also called “bee-glue,” is a natural resinous substance produced by honeybees from plant exudates, beeswax, and bee secretions in order to defend the hives. It has numerous phenolic compounds with more than 250 identified chemical its composition, which are known significantly vary according sources season. Moreover, it long history traditional scientific medicine as having antibacterial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, wound healing effects since 300 BC. In addition...

Abstract Prevention of postharvest losses has been a very important concern in the scientific world for many centuries, since adoption an effective means to curtail such is believed help reaching sustainability horticultural production and prevention hunger around world. The main deterioration fruits, which may occur after harvest, include physiological changes/losses, physical losses, biochemical changes, changes enzymatic activities pathological deterioration. Among these, diseases cover...

Abstract Background Drought is a major abiotic stress that restricts plant growth and efficiency although some nutrients such as silicon improve drought tolerance by regulating the biosynthesis accumulating osmolytes. In this regard, completely randomized factorial design was performed with three factors including two genotypes (‘Maragheh’ ‘Kashan’), concentrations of dioxide nanoparticles (SiO 2 -NPs) (0, 50, 100 mg L − 1 ), five PEG 25, 75, g ) replications. Results The findings showed...

Goji berry is a lesser-known fruit species and its berries have been used in traditional medicine for centuries as remedies to treat eye, liver, kidney ailments, well the prevention of cancer symptoms due high phytochemical content. This study aimed investigate changes pomological, biochemical, properties 4 goji genotypes harvested during months (June, July, August, September) same year. The results indicated that highest dimensions (height width) soluble solid content were obtained from...

Abstract Progression of the vegetation period and change year are associated with variations in general climatic parameters, such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, radiation, precipitation, wind speed others. Only limited knowledge is available about effects these parameters on characteristics quality fruits especially those successive ripening goji berry. In our study, berry were characterised based physico-chemical properties within four different harvest periods, two...

This study was performed to determine the antifungal activity of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl) leaf extract (LLE) against citrus postharvest pathogen Penicillium digitatum (P. digitatum). The LLE exhibited an P. digitatum, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 0.625 mg/ml and fungicidal (MFC) 1.25 mg/ml. Significant effects on mycelial growth spore germination were seen in dose-dependent manner. Simultaneously, investigate possible mechanisms by LLE, we analyzed their influence...

ABSTRACT Strawberry fruit quality traits can be affected by genotype-environment interactions, which determine the consumer acceptance of fruits. This factorial experiment was based on completely randomised blocks (RCBD) with two planting dates (5 and 20 April) cultivars (‘Albion’, ‘San Andreas’ ‘Portola’) strawberry three replications, some pomological qualitative factors berry were investigated at harvest. The results showed no significant difference width, length, weight firmness, while...

Melatonin acts as a seed germination activator, plant growth regulator, leaf senescence retardant, and, in general, has multifunctional role ‘defence molecule’; furthermore, by interacting with other molecules, such phytohormones and gaseous it greatly enhances adaptation to different environments. However, there are not enough studies about the use of melatonin on horticultural crops, even fewer have outlined differences related this phytohormone between protected environment open field....

Foliar calcium (Ca) treatment exhibits strong potential for enhancing yield and quality in some fruit crops. This study aimed to assess the impact of foliar application Ca-organomineral (Ca-OM) suspension on total soluble solids (TSS) Ca dynamics leaves berries across five red currant cultivars during vegetation storage. A randomized block design with two treatments: (1) Control (without Ca-OM treatment) (2) treatment, three repetitions, was applied different cultivars. Although treatments...

In recent times, pomegranate has been one of Turkey's most important commercial fruit crops for consumption and export. this study, the chemical composition (Punica granatum L.) fruits grown in central area Bitlis province (Eastern Turkey) was investigated. For purpose, total phenolic content, ascorbic acid anthocyanin antioxidant activity minerals content were evaluated. The highest contents determined 13BIT1 (6477.78 mg gallic equivalents 100 g–1 fresh matter). 13BIT2 genotype (60.78 g–1)....

Abstract Background Cactus pear ( Opuntia ficus - indica (L.) Miller) is an important food source for human beings but its consumption and marketability are limited due to the presence of spines glochids on fruit surface. Fresh-cut, ready-to-eat cactus pears have higher preference than whole fruits. However, fresh-cut fruits tissue wounding quick deterioration, which decrease products. Therefore, present study was aimed improve storage quality with application environmentally friendly...

Abstract Background Strawberries are one of the most widely cultivated fruits in world, and their popularity continues to grow due unique taste, high nutritional value, numerous health benefits. The success strawberry cultivation depends largely on quality growing media used. In recent years, there has been a interest soilless as sustainable alternative traditional soil-based methods. This study aimed compare effect different media, both soil (Hydroponic Production System) fruit...

In this study, total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, anthocyanin content and ascorbic acid (in flesh+peel) of the 7 apple cultivars grown in Posof/Ardahan were measured. The three was higher than other cultivars. “Posofkırmızısı”, “Sarı şafran” “Paşa” had highest ccontents (239.22, 228.81 222.71 mg gallic equivalents/100 g offlesh+peels, respectively). Results showed that fresh levels for capacity (90.32 114.23 µmol vitamin C equivalents/g (30.07 to 71.49 mg/100g), whereas lower...

Abstract This research was designed to test the combined efficacy of hot water dipping (HWD) and leaf extracts Cistus creticus L. subsp. on storage quality fresh Valencia oranges. Experiments were laid down according a completely randomised design with 10 different treatments. Five replications, five fruits in each replication, used current study, continue for 150 days. Quality characteristics observed 30-days interval. The applications this study (1) Control [dipping at 25°C 5 min]; (2) HWD...

The current research was carried out to test the effects of edible coatings (EC) enriched with laurel essential oil (EC+LEO) on storability strawberry 'Camarosa' fruits. Freshly harvested fruits were randomly separated into three groups and each group treated a different treatment, including EC, EC+LEO control. Fruits stored at 4.0 ± 1.0 °C relative humidity 90–95% for 15 days. Results suggested that both EC have positive quality parameters help improve storage duration After days storage,...
