Sugar units, not chilling units, control endodormancy duration in plants – potato tuber as a case study [PDF]
Summary Endodormancy (ED) is a crucial stage in the life cycle of many perennial plants, regulated by genetic and environmental factors. Chilling units, growth regulators, and nutrient supply are considered inducers of ED release, but the mechanism governing ED duration is poorly understood.

Effect of chilling on the diurnal rhythm of enzymes involved in protection against oxidative stress in a chilling-tolerant and a chilling-sensitive maize genotype [PDF]
The effect of chilling on diurnal changes in activity of adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate sulfotransferase, glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) and glutathione transferase (EC 2.5.1.18) was analysed in the second leaf of Z 7, a chilling-tolerant, and ...

The ultra-rapid chilling of lamb carcasses [PDF]
End of Project ReportThe practice in Irish commercial abattoirs is to chill lamb carcasses for a period of approximately 16 hours at 2 - 4°C, at which stage the core temperature of the carcass has reached 7°C.

Parametric investigation of a chilled water district cooling unit using mono and hybrid nanofluids [PDF]
AbstractThis study presents a novel parametric investigation into the performance of a district cooling system using mono (Al2O3 and TiO2) and hybrid (Al2O3–TiO2) nanoparticles in the base fluids of water and ethylene–glycol water (EG-water) at a 20:80 ratio.

Evaluation of olive flowering at low latitude sites in Argentina using a chilling requirement model
Olive production has expanded significantly from the Mediterranean Basin into the New World over the last two decades. In some cases, cultivars of European origin have been introduced at a large commercial scale with little previous evaluation of ...

Freeze-chilling and gas flushing of raw fish fillets [PDF]
End of Project ReportFreeze-chilling involves freezing and frozen storage followed by thawing and chilled storage. Trials with whiting and mackerel fillets/portions (Part 1) indicated no difference in odour scores (raw samples) between freeze-chilled and

Calculating Chilling Hours and Chill Units from Daily Maximum and Minimum Temperature Observations [PDF]
Models that require hourly weather data as inputs are being constructed to simulate development of insects and plants. Most agricultural and, climatological weather observation stations, however, do not include the capability to record hourly data. Thus, methods, for simulating hourly observations need to be developed if the wealth of data collected in

Indicator organisms to determine the use of chilling as a critical point in beef slaughter HACCP [PDF]
End of Project ReportDuring chilling, temperatures of carcass surfaces at different sites change over time as do other parameters such as water activity (aw), the structure of the muscle and other tissues, as the carcass enters rigor mortis.

The Chill Hour (CH) model has traditionally been used to report and calculate chill requirements (CR) for dormancy breaking in temperate crops like peach and nectarine. However, this model oversimplifies the tree’s response to weather fluctuations and fails to adequately assess CR fulfillment, making it challenging to determine if the reported CH ...
