Preharvest and postharvest factors influencing vitamin C content of horticultural crops.
Seung K. Lee,Adel A. Kader +1 more
TL;DR: The content of vitamin C in fruits and vegetables can be influenced by various factors such as genotypic differences, pre-harvest climatic conditions and cultural practices, maturity and harvesting methods, and postharvest handling procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

María I. Gil,Francisco A. Tomás-Barberán,Betty Hess-Pierce,Deirdre M. Holcroft,Adel A. Kader +4 more
TL;DR: HPLC-DAD and HPLC-MS analyses of the juices revealed that commercial juices contained the pomegranate tannin punicalagin while only traces of this compound were detected in the experimental juice obtained from arils in the laboratory, which shows that pomesgranate industrial processing extracts some of the hydrolyzable tannins present in the fruit rind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modified atmosphere packaging of fruits and vegetables.
TL;DR: Modified atmospheres (MA), i.e., elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide and reduced levels of oxygen and ethylene, can be useful supplements to provide optimum temperature and relative humidity in maintaining the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables after harvest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant capacities, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and vitamin C contents of nectarine, peach, and plum cultivars from California.
TL;DR: There was a strong correlation between total phenolics and antioxidant activity of nectarines, peaches, and plums and the contributions of phenolic compounds to antioxidant activity were much greater than those of vitamin C and carotenoids.
