Temperature Effects on Cotton Fruit Retention

Agronomy Journal, 1992
AbstractTemperature is a major environmental factor that affects cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) production. Temperatures of 35 to 40°C are frequently observed in cotton‐producing areas. High‐temperature environments are sometimes associated with cotton sterility and boll retention problems; however, there is little specific information available on ...

Advanced preservation methods and nutrient retention in fruits and vegetables

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2011
AbstractDespite the recommendations of international health organizations and scientific research carried out around the world, consumers do not take in sufficient quantities of healthy fruit and vegetable products. The use of new, ‘advanced’ preservation methods creates a unique opportunity for food manufacturers to retain nutrient content similar to ...

The retention of ascorbic acid in preserved fruits. II

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1950
AbstractFurther comparisons of domestic methods of preserving fruits have been made. The ascorbic acid retained in freshly‐made jam from the three kinds of fruit was greatest in blackcurrant (70%), next in gooseberry (66%) and least in strawberry (55%), and after storage for one year the amounts were 30%, 28% and 17% respectively.

Passion fruit-like exosome-PMA/Au-BSA@Ce6 nanovehicles for real-time fluorescence imaging and enhanced targeted photodynamic therapy with deep penetration and superior retention behavior in tumor.

Biomaterials, 2019
Exosomes (Exos) of approximately 30-150 nm in diameters are the promising vehicles for therapeutic drugs. However, several challenges still exist in clinical applications, such as unsatisfied yield of exosomes, complicated labeling procedure and low drug

Vitamin Retention During Home Drying of Vegetables and Fruits

Home Economics Research Journal, 1979
The effect of home drying on the retention of several vitamins was measured in some foods commonly dried. Little vitamin C was retained in dried green beans and tomatoes, while more was retained in dried zucchini squash, raspberries, and boysenberries. Retention of carotene (measured only in dried green beans and tomatoes) was almost negligible. Except

Nitric oxide application for postharvest quality retention of guava fruits

Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2020
Guava is an important tropical and subtropical climacteric fruit rich in vitamin C. At ambient conditions, the fruit cannot be stored for a long period due to fast ripening, abrupt softening and fungal growth. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of postharvest sodium nitroprusside (SNP) treatment, a nitric oxide donor, on ...
