Effects Of Hot Water And Uv-C On Mineral Content Changes In Two Strawberry Cultivarsstored At Different Temperatures, Şeyda Çavuşoğlu
Effects Of Hot Water And Uv-C On Mineral Content Changes In Two Strawberry Cultivarsstored At Different Temperatures, Şeyda Çavuşoğlu
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In this study, two standard strawberry cultivars, Rubygem and Sabrina, were treated with UV-C (254 nm), hot water (60° C for 10 s), and UV-C + hot water after harvesting and stored in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) at 0 °C and 5 °C. The variations in mineral contents including phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), and zinc (Zn) were analyzed during storage periods. Analysis of variance for storage temperature, storage time, cultivar, and treatments showed that storing both cultivars at different temperatures followed by all treatments caused some increases in P and …
Impacts Of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-Mcp) On Postharvest Quality Of 'Ankara' Pears During Long-Term Storage, Mehmet Seçki̇n Kurubaş, Mustafa Erkan
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 …
