Identification of microbial diversity associated with post-harvest storage of rice in India
… of milled and un-milled rice from various storage facilities and local trade markets of Haryana, India were analyzed using high-throughput pyrosequencing. Comparison of the microbial community compositions of freshly harvested paddy and stored rice led to identification of the dominant …

Stability and esterification of lutein in bread wheat during post harvest storage in comparison with banana.
… to be unstable against heat and UV light. During post harvest storage of bread wheat grain some of the lutein may be converted to mono- and di-fatty acid esters that appear to be more stable forms of lutein. The aims of the work presented in this thesis were: to study the effects of temperature on …

Evaluating Economic Impacts of Switchgrass Harvest Time
… Crop Analysis & Planning (ENCAP) and Switchgrass Harvest Date, Yield, Nutrient Removal Estimator (SHYNE). The second chapter examines harvest date implications on yield, nutrient removal, opportunity cost of modified sale dates, and post-harvest storage losses. This harvest date analysis leads to …

Impact of surface area and porosity on the cooling performance of evaporative cooling devices
… devices are low-cost, low-energy solutions for post-harvest storage of fruits and vegetables on farmlands. Surface area and porosity are two design parameters that affect the cooling devices' evaporation rate and cooling performance. Both design parameters lack prior systematic testing that …

Enhancing human health promoting activity through the regulation of the methyl jasmonate mediated glucosinolate biosynthesis in Brassica oleracea
… alteration of the GS composition in the harvested leaf tissue. The MeJA treatment significantly increased gluconasturtiin (56%), glucobrassicin (98%), and neoglucobrassicin (150%) concentrations in the apical leaf tissue of these genotypes for both season. Induction of quinone reductase …

Estimation of the genetic parameters of boron and sorbitol concentration in fruit from a pear breeding population, and investigation of the relationship between these traits on the occurrence of flesh spot decay
… tree were assessed for disorder after four weeks post-harvest storage, and a composite sample from each tree was subsequently analysed for B and sugar (including sorbitol) content. Symptoms of internal browning and cavities were independent and thus not considered to be the same disorder (FSD). …
