A striking characteristic of the carotenoid structure is the long system of alternating double
and single bonds that forms the central part of the molecule. Physical properties, natural …

The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of non-destructive estimation of
lycopene and β-carotene content in intact tomato fruit. Representative tomato fruits were …

Tomatoes are rich in secondary metabolites such as lycopene, β-carotene, phenolics,
flavonoids, and vitamin C, which are responsible for their antioxidant activates. A high level …

The unique color and type characteristics of watermelon fruits are regulated by many
molecular mechanisms. However, it still needs to be combined with more abundant genetic …

The difference in Raman spectra for different excitation wavelengths (532 nm, 785 nm, and
1064 nm) was investigated to identify an appropriate wavelength for the quantitative …

Bruising and other mechanical damage to fruit caused by external forces during and
postharvesting is manifested at the macroscale but is ultimately the result of failure of cells at …

Green-mature and turning cherry tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) of a red ('Cherry Little
Wonder') and a yellow ('Goldilocks') cultivar (cv) were illuminated, post-harvest, with either …

Abstract In loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl cv. Algerie) fruit, despite the non-climacteric
ripening behaviour, evidence suggest that ethylene may participate in the regulation of …

Growing conditions and agronomical inputs play a key role in determining fruit qualitative
and nutraceutical traits at harvest and post-harvest. The hereby presented research …

This study was conducted to characterize different colored lines of cherry tomatoes and
derive information regarding their metabolite accumulation. Different colored cherry tomato …
