The development and ripening process of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L. cv. 4-70) on the tree was evaluated. For this purpose, 14 different stages were selected in accordance with homogeneous size color. Some parameters related to fruit quality, such as color, texture, sugars, organic acids, total antioxidant activity, phenolic compounds, anthocyanins, ascorbic acid analyzed. results revealed that cherry, changes skin glucose fructose accumulation, softening are initiated at early...
Tomato plants transformed with a copy of the fruit‐expressed phytoene synthase cDNA under control CaMV 35S promoter showed ectopic production carotenoids. High expressers were reduced in stature. The dwarf character was inherited an inverse relationship between expression and plant height. Severely affected also chlorophyll content young leaves. These dwarfs 30‐fold reduction levels gibberellin A 1 (GA ) growth partially restored by treatment exogenous GA 3 . Qualitative quantitative changes...
A novel edible coating based on Aloe vera gel obtained according to SP Patent Filed 200302937 has been used as a means of preservation maintain the quality and safety cv. Crimson Seedless table grapes during cold storage subsequent shelf life. Table have crucial economic value dessert fruit, but once harvested show reduction life due rapid loss quality. Uncoated clusters showed deterioration with an estimated period 7 days at 1 degrees C plus 4 20 C, fast weight loss, color changes,...
Sweet cherry cultivars ('Cristalina' and 'Prime Giant') harvested at commercial ripening stage were treated with salicylic acid (SA), acetylsalicylic (ASA) or oxalic (OA) 1 mM then stored for 20 days under cold temperature. Results showed that all treatments delayed the postharvest process, manifested by lower acidity, color changes firmness losses, maintained quality attributes longer periods than controls. In addition, total phenolics, anthocyanins antioxidant activity increased in...
The uptake of arsenic (As) species by Lycopersicum esculentum, growing under soilless culture conditions, was studied. A 4 x 3 2 factorial experiment conducted with four As (arsenite, arsenate, methylarsonate, and dimethylarsinate), three concentrations (1, 2, 5 mg L(-)(1)) two tomato cultivars (Marmande Muchamiel). phytoavailability phytotoxicity were primarily determined the species. in plant increased significantly increasing concentration solution. Both MA DMA showed a higher upward...
Table grape is a nonclimacteric fruit that shows rapid loss of quality during storage and very susceptible to colonization by fungi, especially Botrytis cinerea, which considered the most important disease this commodity. To solve problem, synthetic fungicides have been used, although legal restrictions consumer's concern demand search other safe means. In present paper, as an alternative fungicides, active packaging improve MAP effectiveness on preserving table (cv. Crimson Seedless) safety...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Edible coatings could be effective tools for delaying the ripening process of fruits. Alginate or zein as edible were assayed in tomato order to maintain parameters related quality during postharvest storage. RESULTS: Coated tomatoes showed lower respiration rate and ethylene production than control ones, with a twofold concentration precursor. In addition, evolution losses, such softening, colour weight loss, was significantly delayed (4–6 days on average) coated...
Table grapes (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Crimson Seedless) were coated with Aloe vera gel according to our developed patent (SP Patent P200302937) and then stored for 35 days at 1 °C, the subsequent shelf life (SL) was monitored 20 °C. Uncoated clusters showed a rapid loss of functional compounds, such as total phenolics ascorbic acid. These changes accompanied by reduction antioxidant activity (TAA) increases in anthocyanins, showing an accelerated ripening process. On contrary, table...
Eleven sweet cherry cultivars were harvested at three maturity stages (S1 to S3) based on skin color and stored 2 °C for 16 days a further period of 20 (shelf life, SL) analyze quality (color, total soluble solids, acidity) bioactive compounds (total phenolics anthocyanins) their relationship antioxidant activity (TAA), determined in hydrophilic (H-TAA) or lipophilic (L-TAA) fraction. For all stages, the ripening process advanced during postharvest storage with increases intensity decreases...
