Effect of storage conditions on chemical and physical characteristics of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.)
Effect of storage conditions on chemical and physical characteristics of hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.).
Storage of fresh walnuts (Juglans regia L.) – Low temperature and phenolic compounds
Brief postharvest exposure to pulsed light stimulates coloration and anthocyanin accumulation in fig fruit (Ficus carica L.).
The poor coloration of nethouse-grown fig fruit (Ficus carica L.) due to insufficient sunlight stimulation reduces marketability and health value. This study examined the possibility of improving the color of harvested 'Brown Turkey' figs through the use of pulsed light (PL) emitted by a high-energy xenon flash lamp. The exposure of poorly colored figs to […]
Maintaining the quality of unripe; fresh hazelnuts through storage under modified atmospheres.
Unripe hazelnuts are used for fresh consumption due to their delicate taste; the tenderness of the kernel and the fact that they are easy to shell manually without having to use tools. This report focuses on the possibility of storing unripe; fresh hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.; cv. Tonda Gentile Romana) under modified atmospheres; with the […]
Almond quality as influenced by radio frequency heat treatments for disinfestation
Increased regulation of chemical fumigants has forced the almond industry to seek alternatives for postharvest control of insect pests in raw almonds. This paper reports developments of non-chemical treatment for postharvest disinfestation of almonds using radio frequency (RF) energy. A pilot-scale 27 MHz RF unit was used to evaluate effects of a RF treatment protocol […]
