Impact of Phytosanitary Irradiation on Polar Antioxidants in Peels of ‘Granny Smith’ Apples
<p>The ‘Granny Smith’ apple (<em>Malus domestica Borkh</em>), known for its bright green peel and tart flavor, is a significant cultivar in the United States. Due to increasing limitations and restrictions on chemical fumigants and other treatments, ionizing radiation is gaining popularity as a …

Effect of Low Dose Irradiation on Expression of Genes Involved in Ethylene Biosynthesis of 'Granny Smith' Apples
… that appears during or after storage of ‘Granny Smith’ apples. The mechanism for scald development is not fully understood, but it is hypothesized that scald formation is related to increased ethylene production. In apples, low dose irradiation induced ethylene reduction appears to be …

Comparative Impacts of Irradiation on Antioxidant Compounds of Scalded and Non-scalded Skin of Granny Smith Apples
… Superficial scald affects the quality of Granny Smith Apples. Oxidative stress develops superficial scald with antioxidant systems mitigating the extent of this damage. This study evaluated the effects of gamma, X-ray, and electron beam irradiation on antioxidants – ascorbic acid, total …

Comparison of Chlorophyll, Carotenoid, and Alpha-tocopherol in E-beam, Gamma, and X-ray Treated 'Granny Smith' Apples
… on the lipophilic antioxidants in peels of ‘Granny Smith’ apples. Freshly harvested ‘Granny Smith’ apples were treated with gamma (0.2 kGy), X-ray (0.495 kGy), and e-beam (0.77 kGy) radiation and stored in air at 1 ⁰C for up to four months. Non-irradiated apples were used as control fruit. …

Searching for the semantic boundaries of the Japanese colour term 'ao'
… English speakers would describe as being green. Granny Smith apples are 'ao', so are all Westerners' eyes, regardless of whether they would be described as being 'blue' or 'green' in English. The sky and the sea are prototypically 'ao', but this term is also used to describe lawns, forests, …

Synergistic effects of mixtures of fungicides and medicinal plant extracts against Botrytis cinerea
… mixtures were tested for activity in assays on Granny Smith apples. In vitro tests can be used to screen mixtures to obtain information on their inhibitory activity on a pathogen, however, the environmental conditions of the fruit and the ability of the pathogen to grow into the fruit cannot be …

Respiratory behaviour and quality attributes of fresh apple slices in modified atmosphere systems
… acid (5%) - treated, peeled, cored and sliced apples in modified atmospheres were studied in a two part investigation. Firstly, respiratory behaviour of slices of New Zealand Granny Smith and British Columbia grown Newtown apples at different temperatures (1, 5, 10 & 15°C) was studied in sealed …
