Pre- and Postharvest Practices for Optimizing the Postharvest Quality of Cut Sunflower, Dahlia, and Delphinium
… Benzyladenine applied as a preharvest spray or a postharvest dip did not alter vase life of sunflower 'Moulin Rouge' or 'Procut Lemon.' Transpiration rate and conductance rates of sunflowers significantly decreased in the first three days after harvest. In both sunflower experiments, vase life of …

Muscadine Grapes: Identifying Unique Attributes and Postharvest Practices
… packaged in clamshells were also evaluated for postharvest storage potential for 14 and 28 d at 2 °C. Most genotypes had good storability with low weight loss (<9%) after 28 d even though berry firmness tended to decrease and weight loss and unmarketable berries increased. Of the genotypes …

New sustainable approaches for control of postharvest diseases of citrus fruit
… sustained by citrus fruit during harvest and postharvest handling and storage allow the entry of wound pathogens, including Penicillium digitatum Sacc (green mold) and P. italicum Wehmer (blue mold), the two major pathogens of citrus fruit being the causal agents of green and blue mold …

Biological control of postharvest phytopathogenic molds promoted by food-isolated yeasts
In questo studio sono stati valutati i meccanismi d'azione coinvolti nel processo di biocontrollo di muffe patogene del post raccolta di ceppi di lievito appartenenti alle specie Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Metschnikowia pulcherrima, Aureobasidium pullulans e Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Per ogni …

Fumigation with Muscodor albus volatiles for the control of postharvest decay
Postharvest diseases cause considerable losses of fruits and vegetables, from the harvest to their consumption, especially in developing countries. The biological control, particularly by biofumigation, has been pointed as an alternative to reduce postharvest losses. However, for using in the plant …

Understanding the molecular mechanism of postharvest seed coat darkening in pinto beans
… market classes of dry beans that is affected by postharvest seed coat darkening. Bean producers and vendors encounter significant crop value loss due to the decreased consumer preference for the darker beans. Darker beans also display poor canning quality and longer cooking times. Special storage …

Gamma and X-ray Irradiation Improve Postharvest Shelf-Life in 'Bartlett' Pears
… treatment on ‘Bartlett’ pear physiology during postharvest storage. Freshly harvested ‘Bartlett’ pears were irradiated with gamma irradiation at 0.412 and 0.819 kGy and x-ray irradiation at 1.03 and 1.94 kGy, then stored at 0-1 ⁰C and 95% relative humidity. The pears were removed from cold …

DEHYDRATION AND MICROBIAL IMPACTS ON WATER UPTAKE AND POSTHARVEST QUALITY OF CUT LILY
Water plays a vital role in postharvest physiology of cut flowers. There are several factors affecting water uptake of cut flowers, including aspiration into the xylem and bacterial occlusion. While numerous studies have focused on water balance with cut flowers, few of them have focused on cut …

The Effect of Lipid/Hydrocolloid Coatings on the Postharvest Storage Quality of 'Golden Delicious' Apples
The performance of three different lipid/hydrocolloid coatings was tested on Golden Delicious apples. The coatings consisted of a mixture of lipid, wax, and various gum blends. The three treatments were compared to an uncoated group (control). Both objective and sensory tests were performed to …
