Steaming and sous-vide: Effects on antioxidant activity, vitamin C, and total phenolic content of Brassica vegetables
(International Journal of Gastronomy and Food Science, 2018-05-29)
The present study evaluated the effect of thermal processing on the colour, antioxidant activity, vitamin C content, and total phenols of six Brassica vegetables. The landrace Grelo was the best source ...
Effects of thermal and non-thermal processing of cruciferous vegetables on glucosinolates and its derived forms
(Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2018-04-16)
Brassica vegetables, which include broccoli, kale, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts, are known for their high glucosinolate content. Glucosinolates and their derived forms namely isothiocyanates are of ...
Water stress during the post-harvest period affects new root formation but not starch concentration and content in Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) perennial organs
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2019-02-15)
Water stress responses during the post-harvest period were evaluated in a Chardonnay container-grown grapevines grafted onto 1103 Paulsen rootstock. The irrigation treatments were: a control treatment ...
Using forced regrowth to manipulate Chardonnay grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) development to evaluate phenological stage responses to temperature
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2019-12-06)
Time and environmental conditions, such as temperature and photoperiod, are the main drivers governing grapevine development over the growing season. The most obvious growth periods in grapevines are ...
Effect of steaming and sous vide processing on the total phenolic content, vitamin C and antioxidant potential of the genus Brassica
(Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies, 2018-04-12)
This study evaluated the effect of thermal processing on the antioxidant potential, vitamin C, and total phenoliccontent of various parts, including edible co-products, of severalBrassicavegetables. ...
Performance of a Chill Overlap Model for Predicting Budbreak in Chardonnay Grapevines over a Broad Range of Growing Conditions
(American Journal of Enology and Viticulture, 2018-09-26)
Predicting phenological stages through modeling has significant implications for planning viticultural practices and for predicting the impact of climate change on phenology. The Chill Overlap Model is ...
Determining a robust indirect measurement of leaf area index in California vineyards for validating remote sensing-based retrievals
(Irrigation Science, 2018-12-05)
Accurate ground-based measurements of leaf area index (LAI) are needed for validation of remote sensing-based retrievals used in models estimating plant water use, stress, carbon assimilation and other ...
Evaluation of TSEB turbulent fluxes using different methods for the retrieval of soil and canopy component temperatures from UAV thermal and multispectral imagery
(Irrigation Science, 2018-09-14)
The thermal-based Two-Source Energy Balance (TSEB) model partitions the evapotranspiration (ET) and energy fluxes from vegetation and soil components providing the capability for estimating soil evaporation ...
Utility of the two-source energy balance (TSEB) model in vine and interrow flux partitioning over the growing season
(Irrigation Science, 2018-09-14)
For monitoring water use in vineyards, it becomes important to evaluate the evapotranspiration (ET) contributions from the two distinct management zones: the vines and the interrow. Often the interrow ...
Exploiting Genetic and Genomic Resources to Enhance Heat-Tolerance in Tomatoes
(Agronomy, 2019-01-08)
High temperature is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses in tomatoes. Many studies
highlighted that even small increases in temperature can alter the plant reproductive system, causing ...
