In the present investigation, the mango kernel seed starch-based edible coating was developed combined with different concentrations of lemongrass essential oil (EO). The effects of different edible coating formulations, such as T1 (2% mango kernel seed starch); T2 (2% mango kernel seed starch +...

Air pollution due to anthropogenic sources, is a matter of concern in the whole world. The urban areas may be viewed as dense sources of enormous anthropogenic emissions of pollutants, which can alter the atmospheric composition, chemistry and life. Trees remove gaseous air pollutants primarily by...

Guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruit is also known as the apple of tropics, belongs to the family of genus Psidium, and is widely cultivated in tropical zones of the world. Recently, the importance of guava fruit has increased due to its inherent nutritional content, pleasant aroma, excellent flavor,...

A study was conducted from 1999-2000 to 2008-2009 to study the effect of irrigation at different IW/CPE ratios and different mulch intensities on growth and yield of sapota cv. Kalipatti. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with fifteen treatment combinations which...

An experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of prepared chitosan:pullulan (50:50) blend edible coating enriched with pomegranate peel extract on the quality, sensory attributes and shelf life of litchi fruit cv. Deshi throughout the 18 days storage period at room (23 ± 3°C, RH- 40-45%)...

Papaya is promising fruit crop of India but poor odour of the fruit is main hindrance in commercial exploitation of this fruit in processing. The present investigation was undertaken to prepare blended papaya leather from papaya and guava fruits for enhancing their commercial value and providing a...

Characterization of protein was done in Carica papaya, Vasconcellea candamarcensis and their F₂ population. In the study, two polypeptides bands with Rf (relative mobility) value of 0.09 and 0.21 (corresponding molecular weight of 95 and 70 kDa) were found in the female parent CO 2 whereas, ...

Majority of the popular mango varieties have a very short shelf-life. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out to design functional markers and their association with shelf-life. A total of 35 shelf-life specific primers were designed using in silico mining of 95 ripening gene...

Mango flowering and fruiting phenophases are influenced by both genetics and environmental factors. An experiment was conducted with nine mango varieties at Jagdalpur during 2018-2020 to study the influence of heat units, photothermal units and heliothermal units on phenology of mango varieties....

Bioactive compound characterization is an essential step for utilizing pomegranate peel waste as food and nutraceuticals ingredients. In the present investigation, the effects of different drying methods (freeze, tray-oven, and sun) and extraction solvents such as methanol, ethanol, water, acetone, ...
