Optimizing Quality and Shelf Life with Fruit Ripening Programs
Fruit ripening programs artificially ripen climacteric fruits and degreen non-climacteric citrus fruits. The fruit ripening program has to be designed to ensure that all quality parameters are developed to give the targeted color, taste, and flavor. Each fruit’s ripening program has specific recommendations to adjust the environment and ethylene concentrations to get the desired fruit… Continue reading…
Five Recent Advances in Post-harvest Mango Management
Scientists seek solutions to local mango postharvest challenges to extend shelf life, maintain quality, and reduce waste, disease, and pest damage. Studies often focus on finding eco-friendly alternatives to existing chemical treatments. Measurement of physicochemical quality parameters is a standard procedure in the search for appropriate postharvest technology. Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a tropical… Continue reading…

Bruising Impact on Fruit Quality
Bruising occurs during harvest and postharvest operations like sorting, grading, and packing. As demand for fresh fruits rises and operations get mechanized, the bruising impact on fruit quality increases. Bruising damage is initially not visible but can spoil the appearance and several physiochemical parameters to downgrade quality and weight, leading to considerable economic losses. Environmental… Continue reading…
LEDs Impact on Post-Harvest Fruit Quality
LEDs for the postharvest treatment of fruits are new, and the industrial application looks promising. LEDs influence the development of quality parameters like color, firmness, taste, nutritional value, control of ripening, microbial spoilage and senescence, and extending shelf-life. LEDs can be useful for fruit preservation for long-duration transportation and storage and at retailers. Fruits are… Continue reading…
How LEDs Impact Fruit Quality Development
LEDs have become popular in horticulture grows due to their narrow spectrum and low thermal effect. As a result, they are being increasingly used for fruit quality development.. LEDs impact on fruit quality proves to be more effective compared to the application of conventional white lights. Red, blue, and green LEDs are the crucial wavelengths… Continue reading…
