Impacts Of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-Mcp) On Postharvest Quality Of 'Ankara' Pears During Long-Term Storage, Mehmet Seçki̇n Kurubaş, Mustafa Erkan Jan 2018

Impacts Of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-Mcp) On Postharvest Quality Of 'Ankara' Pears During Long-Term Storage, Mehmet Seçki̇n Kurubaş, Mustafa Erkan

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The effects of various concentrations of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on `Ankara? pears (Pyrus communis L.) were investigated. The pears were harvested at commercial maturity level and 1-MCP (250 and 500 ppb) was applied to the fruit for 24 h at 5 °C. After 1-MCP treatments, the pears were kept at 0 °C temperature with 90%-92% relative humidity (RH) for 8 months. Fruit samples were taken at 2-month intervals from the storage room and various physical and chemical analyses, including soluble solids content, weight loss, flesh firmness, titratable acidity, skin color, respiration rate, ethylene emission, and fruit taste were carried out on …


The Effects Of Genotype And Altitude Of The Growing Location On Physical, Chemical, And Phytochemical Properties Of Strawberry, Kazi̇m Gündüz, Hakan Özbay Jan 2018

The Effects Of Genotype And Altitude Of The Growing Location On Physical, Chemical, And Phytochemical Properties Of Strawberry, Kazi̇m Gündüz, Hakan Özbay

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The effects of genotype and altitude of the growing location on physical, chemical, and phytochemical properties of strawberry fruits were investigated. Eight strawberry genotypes obtained from diverse breeding programs were selected. The genotypes were grown at three altitudes: in Antakya (117 m), Urumu (443 m), and Saksak (755 m). The results indicated that genotype and growing location had a significant impact on both physico-chemical and phytochemical characteristics. Genotypes explained 36%?51% of total variance for fruit weight (FW), total soluble solids (TSS), total acidity (TA), color incidence chroma (C), hue (h°), citric acid, and total monomeric anthocyanin (TMA). Altitudes explained 23%?50% …
