Texte intégralDelayed fruit harvest (DFH) or on-tree-fruit storage is a strategy being considered to extend the harvest season of late maturing ‘Reed’ avocado. However, avocado fruit growth beyond physiological maturity is accompanied by alterations in chemical and physical properties. Thus, the study aimed to investigate the effects of delayed harvest on tree productivity, mineral nutrition and post-harvest quality of late maturing ‘Reed’ avocado and further to evaluate the fruit quality response to varying ripening temperature regimes. As treatments, fruit were harvested early, mid and late in the season, with one month apart from each harvest during 2013 and 2014 seasons. Yield and fruit size were recorded at harvest. During each harvest time, two sets of fruit samples were collected to determine the fruit nutritional content while the second set was cold stored at 5.5°C for 28 days. After storage, fruit were ripened at 16, 21 or 25°C and evaluated for post-harvest disorders, pathological diseases and fruit physico-chemical properties. Yield dropped from 42 to 12 kg/tree from early to late harvest during 2013, while treatments showed no effect during 2014. Furthermore, treatments had no effect on fruit size during both seasons. Phosphorus content decreased by 40 and 23% from early to late harvest time during 2013 and 2014 seasons, respectively. Similar decreasing patterns were observed for K, Ca and Mg content. Zinc content remained constant during 2013; however, mid-season fruit maintained higher zinc levels during 2014 season when compared to early and late harvest time. Protein content was constant for early and mid-season fruit but significantly decreased during the late harvest in both seasons. Moisture content decreased from 74.0 to 65.0% from early to late harvest during both seasons. Starch, oil and ash content were high during late harvest time in both seasons; while crude fibre was high during the mid-harvest time when compared with early and late harvest time. Internal chilling injury increased with maturity and ripening temperature. In both seasons, higher temperatures induced higher anthracnose incidences during early and mid-harvest compared with late harvest time. Similarly, vascular browning was high on fruit ripened at 16°C during early and mid-harvest time but decreased on late harvest fruit during 2013. However, low ripening temperatures induced high incidences of vascular browning during 2014 season. Stem-end rot was high on fruit ripened at 16°C than 21 and 25°C during 2014 season. xvi Physico-chemical quality parameters showed similar behaviour in both seasons. Fruit lightness increased with ripening time regardless of ripening temperature during the early harvest, but remained constant during mid and late harvest. Hue angle (h0) and Chroma (C*) values were slightly reduced during ripening. Fruit ripened at 25°C had the highest respiration rate and reached a climacteric peak earlier (day 2) than fruit ripened at 21 and 16°C (day 4). Fruit firmness and weight loss were high and rapid at 25°C followed by 21 and 16°C regardless of the harvest time. Delayed harvest had no effect on yield and fruit size. Generally, nutritional content of avocado fruit increased with fruit maturity. Furthermore, fruit maturity played a major role in the response of fruit to ripening temperature. Higher temperature enhanced fruit ripening, but was conducive for development of post-harvest diseases.

Texte intégralIn the last few decades, the most knowledgeable consumer on the diet and its nutritional principles pays particular attention to the overall quality assessment, comprising the agronomic/commercial quality, the organoleptic quality and the nutritional quality. All those characteristics are very variable among different species, but also among different varieties within the same species. The aim of this triennial study is to select new genotypes of strawberries with high quality and nutritional value. Fruits of 51 strawberry selections from interspecific crossings of Fragaria virginiana glauca with Fragaria x ananassa (F1), back-crossings (BC1, BC2, BC3), varieties and advanced selections of Fragaria x ananassa (Fxa) and Fragaria x ananassa for industrial purpose (Ind) were analyzed for productive, sensorial, qualitative, and nutritional analyzes. In the back-crossing program developed in this study, the choice of best parental genotypes for the various backcrossing generations (BC1, BC2 and BC3) allowed to obtain in the last generation, selections rich in antioxidant substances but also with a good recovery of productive characteristics, and ameliorating sensorial properties in respect to the previous crossing generations. At this point of the breeding process, it is possible to affirm that characters for the high amount of antioxidant substances were stabilized at BC3, even with a small increase in respect to both Fragaria x ananassa and F1 populations. The production in this group is not far from commercial requirements: with further increasing of the fruit weight by backcrossing with a parent (Fragaria x ananassa) with high productive characteristics, some genotypes of BC3 have the potential to become commercial cultivars.

Texte intégral[CA] La citricultura s'enfronta constantment a escenaris ambientals canviants que provoquen diferents estressos biòtics i abiòtics. El patró sobre el qual s'empelta una varietat específica és una important eina per a millorar la seua adaptabilitat agronòmica en cada àrea de cultiu. En la present Tesi s'ha dut a terme l'estudi de l'efecte del patró sobre la qualitat físic-química i nutricional de la fruita en varietats de gran interés comercial, mandarines 'Clemenules' i 'Tango' i, taronges sanguines 'Tarocco Rosso' i 'Moro'. En 'Clemenules' es va dur a terme l'avaluació de la qualitat de la fruita d'arbres empeltats sobre huit patrons en tres moments de collita, en dues campanyes. Entre els patrons avaluats, Forner-Alcaide 13 i C-35 van destacar per avançar el canvi de color. D'altra banda Forner-Alcaide V17 va destacar per mantindre nivells òptims d'acidesa fins al final de la campanya i va presentar el major contingut en vitamina C, flavonoides, glucosa i fructosa. Carrizo Citrange també va induir altes concentracions de sacarosa i vitamina C en la fruita. 'Tango' és una mandarina de recent introducció en l'àrea mediterrània amb gran interés pel seu període de recol·lecció que comença quan finalitza el de les clementines. En la present Tesi es van estudiar els canvis en la qualitat físic-química, nutricional i sensorial de la mandarina Tango empeltada sobre dos patrons (Carrizo Citrange i Forner-Alcaide 5) durant el període de collita en les dues àrees principals de producció d'Andalusia. La qualitat de la fruita es va veure influenciada per la localització, la qual cosa es va relacionar amb la composició de la textura del sòl. En totes dues localitzacions, Forner-Alcaide 5 va ser el patró que va induir major contingut en acidesa, sòlids solubles totals, sacarosa, vitamina C i àcid cítric en la fruita. Les determinacions físic-químiques i l'avaluació sensorial van permetre establir el moment òptim de recol·lecció depenent de les diferents condicions estudiades. També s'ha inclòs un estudi del comportament postcollita d'aquesta varietat, ja que no existien dades en les nostres condicions de cultiu. La mandarina 'Tango' va presentar símptomes externs de danys per fred a partir dels 20 dies emmagatzemada a 1°C i 5°C. Es va realitzar un estudi micro-estructural per a caracteritzar l'alteració provocada per les baixes temperatures. Els fruits del patró Forner-Alcaide 5 van presentar una menor incidència dels danys per fred. L'emmagatzematge a 9°C no va comprometre la qualitat externa o interna d'aquesta varietat. Dins del grup de taronges, en els últims anys existeix una creixent demanda per les taronges sanguines pel seu consum en fresc. Per a avaluar l'efecte del patró sobre sanguines es van prendre dues varietats, 'Moro' i 'Tarocco Rosso' empeltades sobre huit patrons. La qualitat interna es va veure influenciada pel moment de collita, la qual cosa va ser més evident en la varietat 'Moro'. En totes dues varietats el patró va afectar els canvis en els paràmetres de qualitat estudiats. En 'Moro', es va observar una reducció en el color del suc degut a la degradació del antocians. Aquesta degradació es va relacionar amb el canvi de la temperatura experimentada durant el període de recol·lecció. 'Tarocco Rosso' és menys sensible als canvis de temperatura. En aquesta varietat els patrons Forner-Alcaide 5 i Forner-Alcaide 13 van produir la fruita amb major contingut en antocianos i sucres. A mes s'aporta l'estudi de l'aptitud a la frigoconservació en les sanguines 'Tarocco Rosso' i 'Sanguinelli'. Mentre que la qualitat interna no es va veure afectada per l'emmagatzematge a cap de les temperatures assajades (1°C, 5°C i 9°C) durant 45 dies, la fruita va presentar símptomes de danys per fred a 1°C. `Sanguinelli' va presentar major incidència que 'Tarocco Rosso'. La fruita es pot emmagatzemar entre 5°C i 9°C durant 30 dies en el cas de 'Sanguinelli' i fins a 45 en e
[EN] Citriculture faces changing environmental scenarios that cause biotic and abiotic stress. The rootstock onto which a specific variety is grafted is an important tool to help to improve its agronomic adaptability to each crop area. The present Thesis was carried out to study the effect of rootstock on physico-chemical and nutritional fruit quality in some varieties of commercial interest today: 'Clemenules' and 'Tango' mandarins, and 'Tarocco Rosso' and 'Moro' blood oranges. In 'Clemenules', the fruit of the trees grafted into eight rootstocks at three harvest times was evaluated by performing studies during two seasons. Forner-Alcaide 13 and C-35 Citrange stood out for their earlier color change, which is very interesting for this variety, in which early harvesting is a relevant aspect from the commercial point of view. Forner-Alcaide V17 stood out for maintaining optimum acidity levels until the season ended and presented the highest contents in vitamin C, flavonoids, glucose and fructose. Carrizo Citrange brought about high concentrations of sucrose and vitamin C in fruit. 'Tango' is a mandarin variety that has been recently introduced into the Mediterranean Region. Its harvest time is very interesting because it starts when that of clementines ends. The present Thesis studies changes in the physico-chemical, nutritional and sensorial quality of 'Tango' fruit grafted onto two rootstocks (Carrizo Citrange and Forner-Alcaide 5) during the harvest period in the two main production areas in Andalusia. The results revealed that fruit quality during harvest was influenced by the location, which was particularly related to soil texture composition. In both areas, Forner-Alcaide 5 was the rootstock that induced higher acidity content, and more total soluble solids, sucrose, vitamin C and citric acid in fruit. The physico-chemical determinations, along with the sensorial evaluation, allowed the optimum harvest time to be established depending on the different studied conditions. This Thesis also includes a study about this variety's postharvest behavior as no data are available for our crop conditions. The 'Tango' mandarin presented outer chilling injury symptoms after being stored for 20 days at 1°C and 5°C. A microstructural study was done to characterize the alteration caused by low temperatures. The Forner-Alcaide 5 rootstock fruit showed a lower chilling injury incidence. Storage at 9°C did not compromise quality fruit. Among oranges, demand for blood oranges to be eaten fresh has grown in recent years, basically due to their high content in anthocyanins and their positive effect for human health. To assess the effect that rootstock had on blood oranges, two varieties were taken, 'Moro' and 'Tarocco Rosso', grafted onto eight rootstocks. Internal quality was strongly influenced by harvest time, which was more evident for 'Moro'. In both varieties, rootstock affected changes in the quality parameter studied. In 'Moro', juice color faded as anthocyanins degraded, and rootstocks C-35 Citrange, Macrophylla and Volkameriana showed the most marked reduction. Such anthocyanin degradation was related to the change in temperature that took place during the harvest period. In 'Tarocco Rosso', anthocyanins did not undergo degradation, which suggests that this variety is less sensitive to changes in temperature. In this variety, rootstocks Forner-Alcaide 5 and Forner-Alcaide 13 gave fruit with a higher content of anthocyanins and sugars. This Thesis also includes a study of the suitability of cold storage of two blood orange varieties: 'Tarocco Rosso' and 'Sanguinelli'. Although storage at any tested temperature (1°C, 5°C and 9°C) did not affect internal quality for 45 days, fruit displayed chilling injury symptoms at 1°C, with a higher incidence for 'Sanguinelli' than for 'Tarocco Rosso'. Fruit can be stored between 5°C and 9°C for 30 days for 'Sanguinelli' and for up to 45 days with 'Tarocco Rosso'.

Texte intégralThe health benefits of fruit and vegetables are partly due to their richness in phytochemicals such as carotenoids. The aim of this thesis was to combine several disciplines to analyze the relationship between growing conditions, carotenoid sequestration and the health value of fruit. The health value of fruit is assessed at various levels: I) the micronutrient composition of mature fruit; II) the bioaccessibility of carotenoids in an in vitro digestion model; III) the metabolic phenotype of C57BL/6JRj mice supplemented with fruit powder for 12 weeks in a model of induced obesity; IV) the vascular function of hyperglycemic Wistar rats fed with high antioxidant capacity fruits. Two types of fruit described as carotenoid rich matrix, namely six tomato genotypes (Solanum lycopersicum, 'industrial tomato' type genotypes: H1311, M82, IL2-5, IL54, IL6-2 and IL12-4) and a lycium genotype more commonly known as 'goji' (Lycium barbarum, cultivar FPW07), were grown in a controlled environment with two water regimes. A 'Control Irrigation' (CI) regime with complete restoration of evapotranspiration, and a stressed 'Deficit Irrigation' (DI) regime, in which irrigation volumes were halved from anthesis to harvest compared with the CI treatment. We hypothesized that water deficit and/or post-harvest treatments (steaming, drying, etc.) may modulate the health value of the fruits by affecting their micronutrient composition and the bioaccessibility of carotenoids. The results of this work showed that in an in vitro digestion model, DI globally decreases carotenoid bioaccessibility. In vivo, the results suggested that tomato or goji berry consumption may be associated with positive health effects in a metabolic and vascular context, with effects largely dependent on genotype and post-harvest treatment studied, but not necessarily water treatment. Thus, this work suggests that genotype and/or post-harvest treatment are major levers to improving the health value of fruit throughout the production chain

Texte intégralENGLISH ABSTRACT: Fruit trees are exposed to various factors that can adversely affect the production of quality fruit. These factors can directly affect the fruit and the health of the tree and can be classified according to their biotic or abiotic nature, such as pathogenic attacks and drought stress respectively. One of the cultural practices used commercially to address these stresses is the application of fungicides and bactericides. The fruit production industry is under severe pressure from consumers, retailers and environmentalists, locally and internationally, to reduce chemical applications to fruit and fruit trees. The use of natural plant defence elicitor compounds and nutrients offer a potential alternative to fungicide and bactericide sprays and may also increase fruit quality and size as result of a reduction of plant stress. Trials were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of natural plant defence elicitors i.e. salicylic acid (SA) and flavonoids, in addition to mineral nutrients and bactericide/fungicides, on peach (incidence of Xanthomonas infection), plum (induced drought stress and Mg/Mn deficiencies) and apple (Mg/Mn deficiencies) fruit and trees against specified biotic or abiotic stress factors. Trial on Prunus persica cv. ‘Sandvliet’were conducted over two seasons (2008/2009 and 2011/2012) on a commercial site, Protea Farm, in the Worcester area in the Western Cape Province. During the 2008/2009 season the SA (AlexinTM, AlexiboostTM) containing treatments were applied first at 75% petal drop at concentrations of 125 and 250 ml. 100 L-1. The copper (StCu, Cu)-containing treatment was applied at 50% petal drop, while dichlorophen (XanbacTM) treatments were applied at fruit set at concentrations of 150, 300 and 200 ml. 100 L-1. The flavonoid (CroplifeTM) treatment was applied at the start of petal drop at a concentration of 150 ml.100 L-1. During the 2011/2012 season, a new flavonoid (CropbiolifeTM) treatment, as well as potassium (K-MaxTM) treatment, were incorporated into the trial and applied at concentrations of 150 and 500 ml. 100 L-1 respectively. Additionally a SA (AlexinTM) and dichlorophen (XanbacTM) treatments that performed well during the first season, were incorporated into the second season with application times and rates similar to the first season’s protocol. In addition to fruit size and quality measurements, the percentage Xanthomonas infection was determined on the leaves and fruit of the experimental trees. The SA (AlexinTM) containing treatment significantly reduced the incidence of Xanthomonas infection on leaves and fruit compared to the control in the first season. However, results varied between the two seasons, as no significant difference from the control could be obtained in the following season. The AlexinTM treatments also significantly increased the fruit size and quality. The flavonoid (CropbiolifeTM) and K (K-MaxTM) containing treatments similarly reduced the Xanthomonas infection on leaves and fruit, as well as increasing the fruit size and quality in the second season. The dichlorophen (XanbacTM) containing treatment recorded varying results as it significantly reduced the Xanthomonas infection on the fruit only in the second season. The plum trials were conducted over the 2011/2012 season on ‘Laetitia’ and ‘Songold’ plum trees, Welgevallen Experimental Farm, Stellenbosch University. Three SA (AlexinTM, AlexSal and RezistTM) containing foliar treatments were applied on the ‘Laetitia’ trees. Only two SA (AlexinTM, AlexSal) containing foliar treatments were applied on the ‘Songold’ trees. Additionally, a foliar treatment containing only K, Ca, Mg and B, was applied in both the ‘Laetitia’ and ‘Songold’ trials. All the treatments were first applied at 75% petal drop, at the same concentration of 250 ml. 100 L-1. Additionally to fruit size and quality, the mineral nutrient content of the leaves and fruit was determined. The ascorbic acid and glutathione content was determined in fruit at harvest and again after storage. None of the treatments had a positive effect on the parameters measured, except the SA (AlexinTM) containing treatments which increased the titratible acidity (TA) in both at harvest and after storage. The treatments also did not alleviate the induced stress compared to the control. The apple and plum tree trials were conducted over the 2011/2012 season in a semi-closed greenhouse, at the Welgevallen Experimental Farm, Stellenbosch. Magnesium (Mg) and Manganese (Mn) deficiencies were induced in one-year-old ‘Royal Beaut’ apple and ‘Laetitia’ plum trees planted in 10 L nursery bags, by omitting these nutrients from a standard Long Ashton soil application. Foliar treatments of Mg (MagMaxTM) and Mn (ManMaxTM) containing sprays were subsequently applied at concentrations of 250 and 75 ml. 100 L-1 respectively, after deficiency symptoms for these nutrients were visually observed. Mineral nutrient analysis of the leaves were analysed on the 13th of February for the plums and 30th of March 2012, for the apples. The Mn (ManMaxTM) containing treatment successfully overcame the Mn induced deficiency. The Mg (MagMaxTM) containing treatment did not overcome the induced Mg deficiency and was probably due to the deficient nitrogen levels in the plants, caused by an error in the initial Long Ashton nutrient solution formulation. In conclusion AlexinTM, K-MaxTM and CropbiolifeTM have shown their ability to decrease Xanthomonas infection in peaches. Additionally to their positive effect on fruit size and quality on the peaches. SA was not able to overcome the induced stress on plums, but had a positive effect on the fruit quality and size. The ManMaxTM been proven to overcome the induced Mn deficiency, while MagMaxTM was unsuccessful to overcome the Mg deficiency.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Vrugtebome word blootgestel aan verskeie faktore wat die produksie van kwaliteit vrugte nadelig kan beïnvloed. Hierdie faktore kan ‘n direkte invloed hê op die vrugte en op die gesondheid van die boom en kan geklassifiseer word op grond van hulle biotiese of abiotiese natuur, soos patogeen infeksie en droogte stres onderskeidelik. Van die produksie praktyke wat gebruik word sluit in die toepassing van verskillende swamdoders en bakterisiede. Die vrugtebedryf is onder geweldige druk van verbruikers, die kleinhandel en omgewingsbewustes om die toediening van chemikalieë aan vrugte en vrugtebome te verminder. Die gebruik van natuurlike plant verdediging stimulerende verbindings en nutriënte, bied 'n moontlike alternatief tot die spuit van swamdoders en bakterisiede, en kan ook moontlik ʼn bydrae maak tot verbeterde vrugkwaliteit en -grootte. Proewe is uitgevoer om die effektiwiteit van die natuurlike plant verdediging stimulante, salisielsuur (SA) en flavonoïede, addisioneel tot verskillende voedingstowwe en bakterieële / swamdoders op perske, pruim en appels teen Xanthomonas infeksie, droogte stres en Mg / Mn tekorte as biotiese en abiotiese stres faktore onderskeidelik te evalueer. Die Prunus persica ‘Sandvliet’ proewe is oor twee seisoene (2008/2009 en 2011/2012) op 'n kommersiële perseel, Protea Farm, in die Worcester-area in die Wes-Kaap Provinsie, uitgevoer. Gedurende die 2008/2009 seisoen is die SA (AlexinTM, AlexiboostTM) bevattende behandelings eers toegedien by 75% blomblaarval teen konsentrasies 125 en 250 ml. 100 L-1. Die koper (StCu, Cu) bevattende behandeling is toegedien by 50% blomblaarval, terwyl die dichlorofen (XanbacTM) bevattende behandelings toegedien is by vrugset, teen konsentrasies van 150, 300 en 200 ml. 100 L-1. Die flavonoïde (CroplifeTM) behandeling is toegedien by die begin van blomblaarval teen 'n konsentrasie van 150 ml. 100 L-1. Gedurende die 2011/2012 seisoen was 'n nuwe flavonoïd (CropbiolifeTM) en ‘n kalium (K-MaxTM) behandeling toegevoeg tot die eksperiment, met ʼn toediening teen konsentrasies van onderskeidelik 150 en 500 ml. 100 L-1. Daarbenewens is die SA (AlexinTM) en dichlorofen (XanbacTM) behandeling van die 2008/2009 seisoen herhaal teen dieselfde konsentrasies en toedieningstye soos in die protokol van die eerste seisoen. Behalwe vir die bepaling van vruggrootte en –kwaliteit, is die persentasie Xanthomonas infeksie op blare en vrugte ook bepaal. Die SA (AlexinTM) bevattende behandeling het die voorkoms van Xanthomonas infeksie op die blare en vrugte betekenisvol verminder in vergelyking met die kontrole. Resultate het egter gewissel in die daaropvolgende seisoen en geen beduidende verskille tussen die behandelings is waargeneem nie. Hierdie SA-bevattende behandelings het ook tot ‘n toename in vruggrootte en -kwaliteit gelei. Die flavonoïde bevattende behandelings, (CropbiolifeTM) en K (K-MaxTM), het soortgelyke afnames in Xanthomonas infeksie op die blare en vrugte in die tweede seisoen getoon, sowel as ‘n toename in vruggrootte en -kwaliteit. Die dichlorofen (XanbacTM) bevattende behandeling het variërende resultate getoon aangesien dit slegs tot ‘n beduidende afname in Xanthomonas infeksie op die blare en vrugte in die tweede seisoen kon lei. Pruim proewe is uitgevoer in die 2011/2012 seisoen op ‘Laetitia’ en ‘Songold’ pruimbome te Welgevallen Proefplaas, Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Drie SA (AlexinTM, AlexSal en RezistTM) bevattende blaar behandelings is toegedien op die ‘Laetitia’ bome. Slegs twee SA (AlexinTM, AlexSal) blaar behandelinge is toegedien op die ‘Songold’ bome. ʼn Verdere K, Ca, Mg en B blaar behandeling is ook toegedien in beide die ‘Laetitia’ en ‘Songold’ proewe. Al die behandelings se eerste toediening het saamgeval met 75% blomblaarval, teen dieselfde konsentrasie van 250 ml. 100 L-1. Addisioneel tot vruggrootte en –kwaliteit, is die mineraal element inhoud van die blare en vrugte bepaal. Die askorbiensuur en glutatioon inhoud is bepaal in die vrugte met oes asook na opberging. Geen behandeling het 'n positiewe uitwerking op die parameters wat gemeet is getoon nie, behalwe een van die SA (AlexinTM) bevattende behandelings wat die titreerbare sure (TS) verhoog het in beide kultivars. Die behandelings kon ook nie die geïnduseerde stres verlig in vergelyking met die kontrole nie. Die appel- en pruim proewe is uitgevoer gedurende die 2011/2012 seisoen in 'n semi-geslote glashuis te Welgevallen Proefplaas, Universiteit van Stellenbosch. Magnesium (Mg) en Mangaan (Mn) tekorte is geïnduseer in een-jaar-oue ‘Royal Beaut’ appel en ‘Laetitia’ pruim bome, aangeplant in 10L kwekerysakke, deur dié elemente uit ʼn toediening van standaard Long-Ashton voedingsoplossing aan die grond weg te laat. Mg (MagMaxTM) en Mn (ManMaxTM) bevattende blaarspuite is daarna toegepas teen onderskeidelik konsentrasies van 250 en 75 ml. 100 L-1. ʼn Minerale analise van die blare is uitgevoer op 13 Februarie, op die pruime en 30 Maart 2012, op die appels. Die Mn (ManMaxTM) bevattend behandeling het die Mn-geïnduseerde tekort verlig. Die Mg (MagMaxTM) bevattende behandeling het nie die geïnduseerde Mg-tekort verlig nie. Dit is moontlik toe te skryf aan die stikstof tekort in die plante wat te wyte was aan ʼn foutiewe Long Ashton voedingsoplossing formulasie wat aanvanklik toegedien is. Ten slotte het AlexinTM, K-MaxTM en CropbiolifeTM getoon dat hul die vermoë het om Xanthomonas infeksie te verminder, asook om vruggrootte en kwaliteit in perskes te verbeter.

Texte intégralCanning involves thermal treatments performed at high temperatures, which may alter nutrional quality of food products. Indeed, some vitamins, like vitamin C, are very heat sensitive.The aim of the project PREDINUT was to propose a decision support tool that predicts vitamin C (as indicator of nutritional quality) degradation in given conditions of time/temperature, in order to optimise processes.A thermoresistometer Mastia® was used to reach the temperature and pressure conditions encountered during canning. The impact of the variation pH, initial concentration of ascorbic acid or again partial pressure of oxygen in headspace, on ascorbic acid degradation was studied in model solution. Studies were also performed in apple puree, carrot puree and carrot juice in order to obtain a destruction profile of vitamin C in real foods. . The temperature range studied was from 95 to 125 °C, the fixed pH in model solution was from 2.5 to 5.5 in strict anaerobic conditions, and 3.5 in aerobic conditions (3.5 being the pH value of common fruits), initial concentrations of ascorbic acid varied from 150 to 900 mg/100mL, and the partial pressure of oxygen from 30000 to 100000 Pa. Foods were enriched in ascorbic acid (up to 450 mg/mL), and the pH value was not adjusted.Models were established to describe the kinetics of vitamin C degradation in aerobiosis and anaerobiosis. En absence of oxygen ascorbic acid degradation was well described by a first order kinetics (except at pH = 4.5). In presence of oxygen the degradation speed increased with head-space oxygen’s partial pressure but very little with temperature. Apparent reaction orders varying from 0.5 to 0.75, depending on the partial pressure of oxygen in the headspace, fitted the data better than first-order.In foods, degradation kinetics of vitamin C appeared more complex, with eventual presence of plateaus followed by acceleration of the reaction. Definitely more knowledge on mechanisms is needed to predict ascorbic acid degradation in real foods

Texte intégralThe production of dates is increasing every season, causing losses especially during post-harvest handling andmarketing. Post-harvest handling plays an important role in maintaining date palm. In order to preserve organolepticand nutritional quality of date palm fruits after harvest with improving their commercial value, storage experiments andpost-harvest treatments have been assayed.The effect of different storage conditions of temperature, time and modified atmosphere, as well as the effectof heat treatment of dates, on firmness, colour, sugars, organic acids, polyphenols and cell walls and compositions havebeen studied.‘Deglet Nour’ date palm fruits of two harvest seasons (2017 and 2018) as well as common date cultivars‘Arichti’, ‘Bouhattam’ and ‘Bser Hlou’ consumed at early maturity stage (Khalal stage), were stored at -18, 0, 2 and 4°C for 3, 6 and 9 months and at 2 °C for 30 and 60 days, respectively. Mid Infrared Spectroscopy (MIR) as a nontargetedmethod allowed to highlight a year effect on 'Deglet Nour’ chemical composition and to discriminate samplesstored at 4 and 2 °C regarding to major components (moisture, sugar, organic acids...). Cell wall yields (assimilated tofiber) as well as procyanidins, accounting for 98% of total polyphenols, were stable during ‘Deglet Nour’ and ‘Arichti’cultivars storage regardless of temperature and time conditions. However, these same components were the mostaffected by storage conditions for ‘Bouhattam’ and ‘Bser Hlou’ cultivar. This latter, was the softest cultivar and themost appreciated by consumers, may be because of reducing sugars increase affecting its sweet taste. Thus, stored fruitsat -18 °C could be the solution for a long-term storage but due to its high energetic costs, 2 °C must be the optimaltemperature. Moreover, in order to valorize common dates palm and prolong their shelf life, storage time could beprolonged for ‘Arichti’ cultivar with temperature storage ptimization for ‘Bser Hlou’ and ‘Bouhattam’ cultivars.Date palm fruits mentioned above, were also stored under Modified Atmosphere packaging (MAP) at 2°Cduring 3, 6 and 9 months for ‘Deglet Nour’ and during 30 and 60 days for commons cultivars (‘Arichti’, ‘Bouhattam’and ‘Bser Hlou’). In general, differences were observed on physical and chemical parameters using different MAPstreatments for ‘Deglet Nour’date palm fruits. Dates became darke with MAPT and MAPA storage. Dates palm storedunder this latter MAP bag showed an increase on procyanidins, some cell walls compositions, fructose and citric acid.Firmness loss of this cultivar was delayed with MAPZ storage with polyphenols stability. This latter bag type conservedfirmness and colour of the three studied cultivars (‘Arichti’, ‘Bouhattam’ and ‘Bser Hlou’) were stabe with no differencecomparing to control (without MAP). Organic acids, cell walls yield and composition, polyphenols were also stableduring storage. Only sugars contents of every cultivars had different behaviour.These results showed that MAP bags had very lower benefical effects than storage time and temperature on ‘date palmquality. So, their use in date processing industries could have more costs with no apparent effects.The organoleptic and nutritional quality of ‘Deglet Nour’ date palm was also evaluated before and afterhydration treatment commonly used in date prcessing units (DPU), in order to become more commercially valued andto minimize waste generated along the date palm fruit supply chain. Hydration treatment under saturated steam at 60-62°C for 4 hours impoved date fruits texture as expected while nutritional parameters were quite stable. Mid InfraredSpectroscopy (MIR) allowed to discriminate samples from the three DPUs suggesting to be adopted in DPU as a newpredictive and no destructive technique. So, hydration treatment could be highly recommended to valorize fruit byproducts.However, it needs to be optimized for the very hard-type dates

The diferences in climatic conditions and the appropriate nutritional management are crucial for productivity and fruit quality. Southern Brazil is the main apple production region, with the States of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) and Santa Catarina (SC) the major producers. The aim of this research was to evaluate the quality of apple fruits grown in Southern Brazil,considering the nutritional variables and weather conditions during the 2012-2013 season. The study was carried out in the regions of Vacaria-RS, Bom Jesus-RS, Caxias do Sul-RS, Fraiburgo-SC and São Joaquim-SC. Seventy-six orchards were selected. The concentrations of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) were quantified in samples of leaves and fruits. The N/Ca and (K+Mg)/Ca ratios were also quantified in the fruit samples. Sulfur (S), cooper (Cu), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and boron (B) were quantified in leaf samples. At harvest, 20 fruits were ecaluate for flesh fiirmness (N), soluble solids (SS;%), titratable acidity (TA; % malic acid), iodine-starch, and transverse and longitudinal (mm) diameter. After refrigerated storage under air atmosphere (AA) for 120 days (0±1 °C/ RH of 90±5 %) followed by seven days at 20 °C, fruit were analyzes for flesh firmness, SS and AT. Climatic data of rainfall (mm), number of days of precipitation,temperatures (maximum, minimum and average) (°C) and Wind speed (m/s) were evaluated in the diferente regions. The averageconcentrations (mg kg¯¹ of fresh matter) in the fruit of de N, P, K,,Ca and Mg were, respectively, 295, 83, 1.399, 47 e 36 mg kg¯¹ in Fuji , the mean values of (K+Mg)/Ca andN/Ca relatios were 30 and 6,4 for Gala , and 35 and 6,7, for Fuji , respectively. Gala and Fuji apple fruits had P concentration below the lower minimum critical value (˃100 mg kg¯¹) and the N/Ca ratio was below the upper critical value (˂14 mg kg¯¹). Fuji apple fruit had Ca concntration below the lower critical value (˃40 mg kg¯¹), and the (K+Mg)/Ca ratio above the uppercritical value (˂30 mg kg¯¹). In Gala apples, colder regions favor the occurrence of lower N concentration, higher Ca concentration and lower N/Ca and (K+Mg)/Ca ratios in the fruit. The average concentration (g kg¯¹ of dry matter) in the leaves of N. P. K. Ca, and Mg were, respectively, 21, 2, 17, 10, 3 g kg¯¹ in Gala , and 23, 2, 16, 12, 3 g kg¯¹ in fuji . Apples harvested in diferente regions showed great variation in terms of starch-iodine index, and thus, the postharvest results were signicantly affected by fruit maturity at harvest. During the experimental period, there were substantial diferences of climatic conditions between regions. Fraiburgo had the lowest average anual rainfall (1,170 mm) and Bom Jesus the highest one (1,749 mm). The Monthly average temperatures were highest in Caxias do Sul and lowest in São Joaquim
As diferenças nas variáveis climáticas e o manejo nutricional adequado são fatores determinantes para produtividade e qualidade dos frutos. A região Sul do Brasil destaca-se no cultivo de macieiras, sendo os Estados do Rio Grande do Sul (RS) e Santa Catarina (SC) os principais produtores. Este trabalho teve por objetivo determinar a qualidade de frutos de macieira produzidas no Sul do Brasil, avaliando as variáveis nutricionais e as condições meteorológicas durante a safra 2012-2013. O estudo foi realizado nas regiões de Vacaria-RS, Bom Jesus-RS. Caxias do Sul-RS, Fraiburgo-SC e São Joaquim-SC. Selecionou-se 76 pomares. As concentrações de nitrogênio (N), fósforo (P), potássio (K), magnésio (Mg) e cálcio (Ca) foram determinadas em amostrar de folhas e frutos. Determinou-se também as relações N/Ca e (K+Mg)/Ca nas amostras de frutos. Enxofre (S), cobre (Cu), zinco (Zn), ferro (Fe), manganês (Mn) e boro (B) foram determinados nas amostras de folhas. Na colheita, 20 frutos foram avaliados quanto à firmeza da polpa (N), sólidos solúveis (SS; %), acidez titulável (AT; % ácido málico), índice de iodo-amido e diâmetro transversal e longitudinal (mm). Após a armazenagem refrigerada sob atmosfera do ar (AA) durante 120 dias (0±1°C/UR de 90±5%), seguido de mais sete dias a 20°C, foram realizadas análises de firmeza de polpa, SS e AT dos frutos. Dados climáticos de precipitação pluvoométrica (mm), número de dias de chuva, temperaturas máxima, mínima e média (°C) e velocidade do vento (m/s) foram avaliados nas diferentes regiões. As concentrações médias (mg kg¯¹ matéria fresca) de N, P, K, Ca e Mg nos frutos foram , respectivamente, 295, 83,1.299, 47 e 36 mg kg¯¹, para Gala , e 260, 73, 1.331, 39 e 28 mg kg¯¹, para Fuji . Os valores médios das relações (K+Mg)/Ca e N/Ca foram 30 e 6,4 para Gala , e 35 e 6,7 para Fuji , respectivamente Maçãs Gala e Fuji apresentaram concetração de P abaixo do nível crítico inferior (˃ 100 mg kg¯¹), e a relação N/Ca ficou abaixo do nível crítico superior (˂14 mg kg¯¹). Maçãs Fuji apresentaram valores de Ca abaixo do nível crítico inferior (˃40 mg kg¯¹), e a relação (K+Mg)/Ca acima do nível crítico superior (˂30 mg kg¯¹) em maçãs Gala , regiões mais frias favorecem a ocorrência de menores teores de N, maiores teores de Ca e menores relações N/Ca e (K+Mg)/Ca. As concentrações médias nas folhas (g Kg¯¹ matéria seca) de N, P, K, Ca, Mg foram, respectivamente, 21, 2, 17, 10, 3 g kg¯¹, para Gala , e 23, 2, 16, 12, 3 g kg¯¹, para Fuji . S maçãs colhidas nas diferentes regiçoes apresentaram grande variação no índice de iodo-amido, e assim, os resultados de pós-colheita foram afetados significativamente pelo ponto de colheita. Durante o período avaliado, houve diferença nas variáveis climáticas entre regiões. Fraiburgo apresentou os menores volumes médios de precipitação pluvial anual (1.170mm) e Bom Jesus os maiores valores (1.749 mm). As temperaturas médias mensais mais altas foram observadas em Caxias do Sul, e as menores em São Joaquim

Researches of this study aimed to compare the nutritional, sensory qualities between organic and conventional agricultural products in subtropical Taiwan. Few studies have investigated the influences of organic and conventional production systems on commercial food products based on sub-tropical condition. In this study organic and conventional carrots (cv. Xiangyang No.2), papaya (cv. Tainung No. 2), pineapple (cv. Tainung No. 17) and two Japonica rice cultivars (cv Kaohsiung No. 139 and Taikeng No.16) were selected for the various comparative studies of maturity, quality indices and physicochemical properties of fruits and vegetables, milling and nutritional properties of rice , sensory analysis (consumer and panels) and secondary metabolites content (total phenolic compound and antioxidant activities) for rice and fruits. The organically grown fruits and vegetables appeared to contain improved and higher brix value, sugar and organic acid contents. However, except lower values in a few micronutrients (Cu and Mn), and soluble protein of studied fruits and vegetables, many parameters were improved including higher free amino acid and antioxidant activities, while lower nitrate content of the plants produced from organic farming. Similarly, some properties such as physical appearances (color intensity) and few quality indices (vitamin C and titratable acidity) were found no differences or increment due to organic farming in these fruits and vegetables. Autumn season carrot and papaya and spring harvested pineapple were reflected as suitable for consumer preference in quality and nutritional value. Though, no significant differences were evident between the organic and conventional fruits (papaya and pineapple) and rice for sensory parameters tested. Nonetheless, no significant improvement noticed in physicochemical properties of organic rice also, however starch viscosity properties were higher in organic rice. Kaohsiung No. 139 was found as better as compared to Taikeng No. 16 in nutritional properties and secondary metabolites content. Collectively, available valid evidence supports the consumer intuition that organically produced foods are superior in terms of food safety, nutritional content and value to conventionally produced foods. However, for a better and general conclusion of organic products superiority, intensive research needed in adoption of samples from more different growing conditions (farm, experimental plot, and market) and diversified agricultural products on sub-tropical region perspective to confirm the findings of this study; and to investigate, under controlled conditions, the link between organic food consumption and human health.

Texte intégralThe nutrition transition and food insecurity are among the major external factors diminishing diet quality. The effects of diet quality decline can be summarized by the increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases and nutritional deficiencies. To combat these problems, several studies have found that diet quality has been improved by self-production of food (self-harvest*). This study aims to identify whether a link exists between diet quality and self-harvest of plant-food in the Lebanese rural context using data from 748 adult participants living in Chouf, Hermel and Aarsal. To describe dietary patterns of the study population according to the harveststatus, χ2, ANOVA and multiple comparisons (Bonferroni) were used while adjusting for various confounding variables. A significant interaction was found between the two types of harvest at all levels showing that collectors of wild plants/fruits tended to also have some domestic production of fruits and vegetables, and vice versa. While wild-food harvest had a significant positive association with the variety and frequency of consumption except for fruit consumption frequency, domestic harvest had a significantly positive association with vegetable consumption variety and fruit and vegetable consumption frequency. A strong association was found between the region of residence and fruit/vegetable consumption trends. Moreover, the association between domestic harvest and fruit/vegetable consumption frequency was only positive in the region where the consumption frequency was lowest (Hermel). This study demonstrates that self-harvesting of plant foods, whether produced in a home garden or collected from the wild, is significantly associated with greater consumption variety (diversity) and frequency of these foods and that these associations are generally related to the intensity of harvesting. Keywords: Nutrition transition, food insecurity, self-harvest of food, self-production of fruits and vegetables, wild plant harvest, food consumption variety, food consumption frequency. * In this document, the term self- harvest used to include the self-production of food and wild food collection. The term "food" reflects the following groups: fruits, vegetables, wild plants and wild fruits.
