Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Edible Coatings, Storage Time and Maturity Stage on Overall Quality of Tomato FruitsJorge Esteban de Jesús Dávila-Aviña, José Villa-Rodríguez, Reynaldo Cruz-Valenzuela et al.Problem statement: Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is one of the most widely consumed fresh vegetables in the world; however, its highly perishable nature limits its postharvest life. Major losses in tomato quality and quantity occur between harvest and consumption. Therefore, the application of new technologies to extend the postharvest life of this commodity is needed. The use of edible coatings … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2011 · 11,286 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Different Concentrations and Applications of Calcium on Storage Life and Physicochemical Characteristics of Papaya (Carica Papaya L.)T.M.M. Mahmud, A. Al Eryani-Raqeeb, S.R. Syed Omar et al.Papaya (Carica Papaya L.) fruits index 2 were treated with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5% solutions of calcium chloride by dipping and vacuum infiltration (-33 Kpa) or untreated (0%) as control. Effects of these treatments were evaluated on storage life and postharvest quality characteristics of papaya. After 21 days of storage at 13±1°C, the fruits were removed from storage for physicochemical … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 9,652 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNitric Oxide Treatment Improves the Antioxidant Capacity While Inhibiting Anthocyanin Biosynthesis of Peach Fruit (‘Xiahui-8’) During RipeningZiqi Wang, Yanyan Li, Yingling Deng et al.Nitric Oxide (NO) is an important bioactive signal molecule that plays an important role in diverse physiological processes. This study aimed to explore the effects of Nitric Oxide (NO) treatments on postharvest peach fruit. Specifically, we examined changes in quality attributes, antioxidant ability, and anthocyanin profiles during storage, given the important role of NO as a bioactive signal molecule in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 14 Apr 2026 · 1,392 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Inactivation and Kinetic Characterisation of Peroxidase from Leaves of Brassica chinensis L.Youru Huang, Keyu Rong, Shiman Zhao et al.As one of the perennial vegetable varieties grown in the south of Yangtze River in China, Brassica chinensis L. can be produced and supplied to the market all year round and has high economic value. However, there is little direct literature on postharvest heat treatment of Brassica chinensis L. In this study, Peroxidase (POD) was extracted from Brassica chinensis L. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2024 · 4,768 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractResearch Progress on Non-Thermophysical Fresh Keeping Technology of Fruits and Vegetables Based on Nutrition and SafetyShuai Han, Hongfang Cai, Youzhi Wu et al.With the rapid development of the economy and the improvement of living standards, people not only have an increasing demand for fresh fruits and vegetables but also have become increasingly strict on the nutrition, safety, and quality of fruits and vegetables. However, the characteristics of high nutrition and high moisture make them easily susceptible to microbial infection, which can seriously … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 16 Feb 2023 · 5,403 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacteria Contaminants and their Antibiotic Sensitivity from Selected Herbal Medicinal Products from Eldoret and Mombasa, KenyaLucia Keter, Richard Too, Nicholas Mwikwabe et al.Herbal products are used worldwide for the treatment and prevention of various diseases and currently represent a substantial proportion of the global drug market. However, these products have the potential of being contaminated by different microorganisms due to poor hygienic practices during handling, processing and packaging. The main aim of this study was to evaluate microbial quality of herbal products … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2016 · 17,160 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNovel Postharvest Treatment Reduces Ascorbic Acid Losses in Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Var. KentMaria A. Islas-Osuna, Norma A. Stephens-Camacho, Carmen A. Contreras-Vergara et al.Problem statement: Mango is a tropical fruit that ripens very quickly; for this reason, there has been a continuous effort to develop postharvest technologies to extend its shelf life and quality. Among them, 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) is widely used because it inhibits the action of ethylene receptors. Approach: Changes in physicochemical parameters, bioactive compounds and cell wall degrading activities were evaluated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 9,127 accessesView PDF Cite
