Analytical Methods Applied to Characterization of Actinidia arguta, Actinidia deliciosa, and Actinidia eriantha Kiwi Fruit Cultivars [PDF]
Food Analytical Methods, 2015 In this research, eight kiwi fruit genotypes (six har- dy kiwis (Actinidia arguta and their hybrids), one of Actinidia deliciosa 'Hayward,' and one of Actinidia eriantha 'Bidan' were examined and compared by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, and nuclear magnetic res- onance

Manipulation of flavour and aroma compound sequestration and release using a glycosyltransferase with specificity for terpene alcohols. [PDF]
, 2014 Glycosides are an important potential source of aroma and flavour compounds for release as volatiles in flowers and fruit. The production of glycosides is catalysed by UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) that mediate the transfer of an activated nucleotide ...

Subjective and Objective Pericarp Colour Measurement in Block‐Red Kiwifruit
New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) genotypes include fruit with green, yellow, or red flesh. Red‐fleshed kiwifruit may be either starburst, with a red inner pericarp, or block red, in which both inner and outer pericarp are red. In the research reported here, the flesh colour of two block‐red A. chinensis var. chinensis genotypes has been evaluated during

Is Nocturnal Pollination Important for Crop Production? Experimental Evidence From Small Fruit Crops
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 2, Page 147-157, March 2026.ABSTRACT Insect‐mediated pollination is essential for crop production but is mainly studied considering diurnal pollinators only. Here, we use pollinator exclusion techniques to prevent either diurnal or nocturnal insect visits in small fruit crops: raspberry (Rubus idaeus), over 1 year, and red currant (Ribes rubrum) and black currant (Ribes nigrum ...
