Recent postharvest studies have shown that adding an antioxidative agent in a
polysaccharide-based edible coating reduces postharvest losses and extends the shelf life …

Nitric oxide (NO) acts as a gaseous signalling molecule and is considered to be a key
regulator in the postharvest storage of fruits. Postharvest senescence is one of the most …

Currently, the field of postharvest technology is a growing research area of particular interest
since the increase in world population and the need to satisfy its nutritional requirements …

Low voltage electrostatic field (LVEF) is a new, non-thermal and low-cost fresh-keeping
technology. However, there are few studies to evaluate the effects of LVEF on cell wall …

Abstract Background Plum (Prunus domestica L.) has a short shelf-life period due to its high
respiration rate and is sensitive to low storage temperatures, which can lead to the …

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important food crops in the world. Drought is currently
the most important abiotic factor affecting maize yield. L-arginine has emerged as a nontoxic …

Abstract Effects of NaCl stress, melatonin (MT), arginine (ARG), and their combined
treatment on morphological, physiological, and biochemical features of Capsicum annuum …

Inducing natural resistance against pathogen infection in postharvest citrus by exogenous
elicitor is a promising alternative to reduce postharvest losses. Here, the potential induced …

Benzothiadiazole (BTH) is a functional analog of salicylic acid (SA), and has been applied to
delay postharvest decay in several fruit. However, the efficacy of BTH on delaying …

Strawberry is a nutritious food that is susceptible to mechanical injury and microbiological
infection. Traditional coatings for strawberry packaging provide resistance against microbial …
