Susceptibility of apple fruit to physiological storage disorders is affected by both pre-and
postharvest factors that influence their ethylene production. In this study, the inhibitor of …

Quality of fruit and the subsequent eating attribute is closely linked factors that have a
significant effect on marketability and have always been correlated with harvest maturity. In …

Abstract 'Gala'apples are susceptible to development of stem-end flesh browning and
subsequently flesh browning (FB) throughout the fruit during storage. Factors causing the …

Abstract Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG; ReTain®) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP;
Harvista™) are used to delay apple fruit maturation and ripening, and thereby reduce fruit …

Cold storage is a commonly adopted technology to maintain quality and extend shelf life;
however, depending on the cultivar, ethylene production can be enhanced by short-term …

The delta absorbance (DA) meter is a handheld instrument which noninvasively measures
the chlorophyll content in fruits. In the present work, it was used to monitor the ripening …

The decline of relative chlorophyll contents during fruit ripening is considered to be an
important indicator of fruit physiological condition. The recent availability of low-cost portable …

The effects of plant growth regulators (PGRs) and harvest date on antioxidant contents at
harvest and superficial scald development in 'NY2'apple during storage have been studied …

The average consumer may recognize different apple cultivars and associated colour,
flavour and taste differences at the market, but likely is unaware of the differences in ripening …

We evaluated regional variation in the Delta Absorbance Meter® index of absorbance
difference (I AD) as a measure of harvest maturity and for predicting the occurrence of …
