Uptake, transport and toxicity of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) into plant cells are
complex processes that are currently still not well understood. Parts of this problem are the …

The composition and structure of fruit surface tissues have a noticeable influence on the
postharvest storage potential of fruit, inasmuch as they behave as a barrier against drying …

As with all aerial plant organs, fleshy fruits are encased in a hydrophobic cuticle that must
fulfil multiple functions, including limiting desiccation and preventing microbial infection …

Application of Weibull distribution model was investigated for describing the moisture
content of coroba slices during air drying. One set of experiments was performed following a …

Emerging classes of bioresorbable electronic materials serve as the basis for active
biomedical implants that are capable of providing sensing, monitoring, stimulating, and other …

Fruit usually suffers from water loss after transportation and storage, which largely blemishes
the quality characteristics including appearance, saleable weight and texture. This study …

Cuticular wax chemicals differ among fruit cultivars and contribute to storage ability.
However, wax analysis in apple cultivars, particularly during storage, has not been …
