Preharvest potassium silicate treatments influence the morphological appearance and enhance nutritional composition of almond kernels

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...

Morphological changes of lenticels and their role in gas exchange and sprouting physiology of potato tubers during postharvest storage

Frontiers in Plant Science
The application of exogenous gases has been used to suppress sprouting in stored potato tubers. However, their efficacy in extending ecodormancy largely depends on achieving optimal gas exchange between the storage atmosphere and the tuber itself.

Biodegradable HPMC–chitosan film for moisture retention and quality preservation in fresh‐cut mango

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Replacing conventional plastics with biodegradable solutions that control moisture loss in fresh‐cut produce is a strategic need. This study developed hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and chitosan (CS) films plasticised with glycerol (Gly) and evaluated their use as sealing lids for fresh‐cut mango. RESULTS The selected monolayer
