Effect of different packaging materials and storage periods on the yield and quality of bread wheat grains

Boron has been used to overcome the disorder blister in varieties such as `Jewel'. `Hernandez' is an attractive, good-yielding variety with uniform shape that will consistently pack out at 80% to 90%. Over time in storage, however, roots develop blister-like symptoms, rendering roots unmarketable for fresh market. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of different B rates and application times on the yield and quality of `Hernandez' roots. Rates were varied up to 2.24 kg actual B/ha 6 days after planting, while various soil and foliar application times (6, 34, and 69 days after planting) were evaluated at 1.12 kg·ha–1. In 1994, three row plots were arranged in a randomized complete block design and replicated four times. Planting was on a deep sand to maximize the effect of the B carrier Solubor. Roots were harvested, graded, and weighed 120 days after planting and storage roots evaluated for blister-like symptoms in Mar. 1995. No significant differences in yield were attributed to B rate or application method. Blister-like symptoms were more severe when no B was applied; however, application of B did not eliminate symptoms, as most roots had the blister-like appearance. Boron application did not solve the problem, but symptoms were less apparent when some B was applied.

This research was conducted during 2016-2017 awheat growing season to investigate the effects of different rates of seed coating of an organic acid mixture (citric acid, glutamate, and proline) on yield and quality of wheat. The field experiments were established in Dogankent and Haciali locations of Eastern Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute in Turkey. Study was carried out with randomised complete block design with 4 replications and Ceyhan-99 bread wheat variety was used as seed material. Before seeding, wheat seeds were coated with organic acid mixture product (0.75% citric acid, 0.25% glutamate, 0.25% proline, 2% Zn and 96.75 water), in three different doses (500 ml ton-1, 1 l ton-1, 1.5 l ton-1) to compare with control (uncoated). There were statistically significant differences at 5% level in 1000 grain weight and grain yield values in Dogankent location and 1000 grain weight, grain yield and number of spikes in Hacialilocation. Highest yield values were obtained from 500 ml t-1 application dose for both locations. With 500 ml t-1 application dose at Dogankent location, grain yield was 11.9 t ha-1 which was 8.97% higher over control. In Hacali location, 500 ml t-1 application dose was increased yield by 15.96% compared to control which resulted with 10.5 t ha-1 grain yield. No statistically significant difference was observed in quality characteristics (protein, gluten, hardiness and sedimentation) in trials.

Edible Ferns

Abstract Currently, despite of the active development of agriculture and the cultivation of many species, the use of wild food plants is relevant. Ferns also belong to such plants. Eight species of edible ferns grow in the Amur Region, of which 6 species are widespread and form large thickets. The population of the Amur Region uses 4 species for food, the most common is Pteridium japonicum, rarely –Athyrium sinense, Athyrium monomachii, Dryopteris expansa. The literature data on bracken harvesting on the territory of the Amur Region from 1970 to 2019 are presented. It was revealed that the collection takes place spontaneously and unsystematically. Irrational harvesting of raw materials leads to a decrease in yield and quality of harvested products. To restore bracken thickets after collecting, a recovery period of 4-8 years is required. Schemes for the use of fern populations are proposed, taking into account the period of their recovery. For a reasonable recommendation for the use of Athyrium sinense, Athyrium monomachii, Dryopteris expansa, Onoclea interrupta, Diplazium sibiricum in food, it is necessary to conduct research on their chemical composition, nutritional value, methods of preparation and storage.

And Storage

A study on the effect of different packaging materials and storage conditions was carried out on keeping quality of freshly prepared bleached lac packaged in five different types of packaging materials: Low Density Poly Ethylene (LDPE ), High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE), Poly Propylene (PP), Metalized Polypropylene film (METPP) and five layer craft Paper Bag (PG). The samples were stored in both ambient and refrigerated conditions (14-160C) and quality parameters were evaluated at quarterly interval after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of storage followed by comparison with samples stored in open condition. For storage under ambient condition in room, the flow value (fluidity), life (heat polymerization time) and acid value (AV) of the packaging material was highest for metalized film bag i.e.10mm, 5 min. and 70.69 respectively and impurity content was least (2%) after 3 months of storage due to high amount of moisture (4.12% db) retained in the sample. These parameters were lower in other packaging materials due to lower moisture content (1.38-2.40% db) with the lowest value (1.01% db) in open storage condition. For storage under the refrigerated condition, these parameters were higher compared to ambient storage for all packaging material. Flow value, life and acid value of samples in the metalized bag were highest; 35mm, 10 min. and 74.36 after 3 months of storage. However, these parameters were lower in others packaging materials due lower moisture content (1.50-2.61% db) with lowest value (1.23% db) in open storage condition. The flow and life of samples packaged in metalized film bag were highest i.e. 25mm and 5 minutes respectively after six months of storage as compared to when packaged in others. During the study it was observed that keeping quality of bleached lac samples was better in metalized film bag (82.5µ) compared to other packaging materials for both ambient and refrigerated storage condition.
