Microbubbles can remove Listeria monocytogenes from the surface of stainless steels, cucumbers, and avocados
… no bubble treatment. After 48 h pathogen drying, cucumbers treated for 10 min resulted in a 1.78 mean log reduction of L. monocytogenes. For avocados, the mean log reduction of L. monocytogenes (24 hr drying) peaked at 1.65 after 10 min of microbubbles. This cavitation treatment (10 mins) reduced …

Isolation and Characterization of Bacteriophages Infecting Enterobacter cloacae to Reduce Bloater Defect in Cucumber Fermentations
<p>Fermented cucumbers are one of the most important fermented vegetables consumed worldwide. During cucumber fermentations, certain undesirable changes may occur. One of such changes is known as bloater defect (hollow cavities in fermented cucumbers), which is primarily caused by gas-producing …

Investigation of Genetic and Environmental-Associated Variation of Flavor-Related Attributes in Bioparental and Natural Cucumber Populations and Their Correlation with Human Sensory
… Results showed: 1) Overall hardness of cucumbers increased with maturity, with 28 day fruits 3.5 times higher than 7 day fruits. Tissue-specific hardness increased outward, with exocarp 6.7 times higher than center tissues; 2) GH cucumbers had significantly lower overall hardness (21.76 …

Vegetable price improvement through choice of markets
… Six crops, snap beans, cabbage, sweet corn, cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes, were studied during 1954, 1955, and 1956. Eighteen consecutive weeks beginning near the first of June were studied during each year. Price and quantity data were collected from the daily market reports of New York, …

Quantification of sugars and organic acids in 210 cucumber (cucurbis sativus) varieties for genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
… contents in Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) cucumbers. This study aimed to measure total soluble solid content (ºBrix), three main sugars via high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), pH, titratable acidity (TA), and three main organic acids via HPLC in 210 GWAS cucumber samples. A …

Utilization of common buckwheat as a short-cycle cover crop before direct-seeded processing cucumber production
… between incorporation and seeding processing cucumbers. In the greenhouse experiments, cucumber plants grown in soil that had previously grown buckwheat seven days earlier were smaller and less vigorous than those grown in soil with no buckwheat residues or containing only buckwheat shoots. …

The Use of Buckwheat Border Habitats to Attract Natural Enemies of Cucumber Beetles in a Cucurbit Agroecosystem
… var. melopepo (Alef.) ‘Seneca Prolific’, and cucumbers, Cucumis sativa (L.) ‘Arkansas Littleleaf’, were planted perpendicular to floral border habitats. Sticky traps and modified Malaise traps on transects at intervals from the border were used to monitor insect numbers. Insect counts and …

External actors, high value resources and threatened species: shark fin commodity chains of Northern Madagascar, interception for conservation
… high value resource chain for the trade in sea cucumbers. This study highlights the pressing need for further research to determine the socio-economic importance of these resources to local communities. Furthermore, there is some evidence to suggest that the best entry point along the shark fin …
