Two trials were conducted to investigate the effects of total soluble solids, pH and Saccharomyces cerevisiae density on the quality of longan wine. Longan juice was added to sucrose and citric acid at  different concentrations to attain samples of total soluble solid concentration and pH in the range of 21 - 25oBrix and 4.0 – 4.6. All the samples were innoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae (initial populations of yeast raging from 105- 107 cells/ml). The results showed that the oBrix of 23%, with a pH of 4.3 and yeast density of 106 cells/ml was ideal to be applied in longan winemaking. After 7 days of fermentation, the amount of total alcohol of the end product was 13.87%, with 2.69% reducing sugars remaining, a pH of 3.61, and oBrix of 6.22%. Sensoryevaluation was found to meet consumers demand for quality and also, the sulfur dioxide and methanol concentration of the wine met the Quality Standards in Vietnam (QCVN 6-3:2010/BYT).

The effect of various blends of banana (B) and mushroom (M) as well as storage time on theoverall quality characteristics of jam at ambient temperature were studied for three months of storageperiod. All the treatments were analysed for physicochemical properties (total soluble solids (°Brix), pH,reducing sugars (%), non-reducing sugars (%), ascorbic acid (mg/100 g) and percent acidity) and sensoryproperties (taste, colour, texture and overall acceptability). Significant (P < 0.05) increase were examinedin total soluble solids (67.94-69.78 °brix), percent acidity (0.71-0.87%) and reducing sugars (18.17-29.33%)during the storage period. While, significant (P < 0.05) reduction in pH (3.45 to 3.26), non reducing sugars(44.90-30.83%), ascorbic acid (7.81 to 5.52 mg/100 g), colour (7.34 to 4.84), taste (7.27 to 4.51), texture(7.06 to 4.60) and overall acceptability (7.17 to 4.69) were observed. Physicochemical and sensory analysesshowed that jam prepared from BM6 (400 g banana + 600 g mushroom + 1kg sugar + 2 g citric acid) wasof good quality attributes among the treatments.

Literary references on the quality of juice of sweet sorghum crop following chemical ripening agents spraying are rarely found up, mostly concerning to the trinexapac-ethyl. Accordingly, this article shares an unpublished content about chemically-induced physiological ripening on the sweet sorghum cv. CMSXS-646 by spraying trinexapac-ethyl before the crop flowering. A CO2-pressurized backpack sprayer, with flat spray nozzles, was employed to exogenously spray the plant growth inhibitor at 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 l ha-1 on 90-days-old plants. Early after the crop harvesting, juice and lignocellulose samples were technologically assessed to total soluble solids, sucrose, purity, reducing sugars, total reducing sugars, fibers and yield of sugar. Sweet sorghum plants exposured to the trinexapacethyl at 0.4 and 0.8 l ha-1 produced juices with approximately 20.2 and 20.3 °Brix, 15.1 and 13.2% sucrose, 74.6 and 64.9% purity, as well as 107.7 and 98.2 kg t-1 sugar, respectively. Unlike, plants cultivated as control, juices with 21.0 °Brix, 16.0% sucrose, 76.9% purity and 118.0 kg t-1 sugar. Therefore, trinexapac-ethyl had suppressive effect on the quality of juice, mostly regarding to the total soluble solids and yield of sugar. Plants sprayed with trinexapac-ethyl at 1.6 l ha-1 developed the most fibrous stalks, as host-defense system response to stress induced on plant physiology. The conclusion is, therefore, that although does prejudices the quality of juice, making it unsustainable to the production of first-generation ethanol, trinexapac-ethyl as chemical ripening agent could lead the sweet sorghum cv. CMSXS-646, while lignocellulose renewable source, to the industrialization of cellulosic ethanol and bioelectricity.

Brazil has a large variety of native and exotic fruit species, including the gabiroba, which can be sources of income for the population. The objective of this study was to evaluate the post-harvest behavior of gabiroba fruit by maturity stage and storage temperature. The fruits were divided into two lots and stored at temperatures of 6, 12, 24 and 30°C. The first batch was used for the physical and chemical analysis of acidity, soluble solids, firmness, percentage of green color, and visual analysis; this batch was composed of green and yellow-green fruit. The second lot was intended for breath analysis, composed of green, yellow-green, and yellow fruits. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with five replications. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Considering the evaluated characteristics, the gabiroba soluble solid/titratable acidity ratio values should be approximately 4.0 for the fruits to be considered acceptable for consumption. For the preservation of the post-harvest quality of gabiroba, it is indicated that the harvest is carried out at the green stage of maturation and that they are stored at a temperature of 6°C. The highest respiratory rates were observed in fruits harvested at the yellow stage, not being recommended its storage.

In the present study, four Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains S. cerevisiae (NCIM 3200), S. cerevisiae (NCIM 3045), S. cerevisiae (baker′s yeast) and S. cerevisiae (EC1118) have been used and compared for their capability to ferment sugars from the juice of sugarcane (of variety CO 86032) for production of sugarcane wine. The growth pattern of each strain was studied followed by the fermentation at optimized conditions such as pH and temperature. The strains′ potential to produce sugarcane wine has been compared in terms of their sugar consumption, alcohol production, titrable acidity and volatile acidity production with respect to permissible amounts given by Indian Regulations. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (EC1118) performed better in fermentation among other compared Saccharomyces strains at the optimum temperature of 28 ºC, optimum pH 5, total soluble solids of 18 ºBrix and total sugar content of 185 g/L. Analysis of sugarcane wine fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (EC1118) has pH, 3.57, total alcohol content, 13.55 ± 1.77 %, titrable acidity, 8.30 ± 0.01 g/L and volatile acidity, 0.84 ± 0.00 g/L. The overall acceptability from sensory analysis supports the above physico-chemical analysis results of sugarcane wine.

Fifteen pure breeding line of Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller) were crossed with two tester. Genetic analysis was carried out to detect the epistasis and to estimate component of genetic variation for three qualitative traits. The epistasis was important for all the characters under study except total soluble solid in autumn – winter season. Significant estimate of both additive (D) and dominance (H) component were significant for number of seeds/fruit and number of loculs/ fruit for both the seasons except Total soluble Solids which is significant for additive variance in spring-summer season. The F value positive and significant for Total soluble solids showing isodirectional nature of dominance. Significance of additive component and F parameter showing increasing effect on the character indicating that pedigree selection would be effective for the improvement of such traits.

Mango cv Kent, as grown on the Yucatan Peninsula, despite its satisfactory ripening, pleasant flavour, correct pulp colour and general acceptance, shows a skin without the characteristic red- yellow colour of the regular ripe fruit; it remains green and this makes it slightly unattractive to the consumer. On the other hand, ethylene and some other components such as Ethephon, have been used to homogenize the ripening in many fruits and to improve its colour. This work shows the results of the effect of nine different treatments with Ethephon on the colour, composition and quality of mango cv Kent. Fruit was treated by immersion in solutions of Ethephon at three different concentrations (500, 1500 and 2000 ppm) and for three different lengths of times (3, 6 and 9 min). The colour improvement depended upon the concentration and time of the treatment with Ethephon. In general, it was found that treatment with Ethephon had a significantly posi tive effect on the colour of the mango skin, as it caused the degradation of chlorophyll, which gave the appearance of the characteristic yellow and red colours to 100% of the fruit treated with 2500 ppm. Treatments influenced significantly the chemical composition of the pulp, particularly the concentration of total soluble solids, reducing sugars, carotenoids, vitamin C and acidity. The best sensorial acceptance was obtained from treatments with 1500 ppm.

This study aimed to compare the crop yield and some quality-related aspects of the blueberry cultivars Biloxi and Sharpblue in a commercial crop located in Guasca (Colombia). This research was conducted between June and December of 2014, observing two lots with different plant ages at the start of the study: 20 months and 36 months. For 28 weeks, mature fruits were manually harvested and the accumulated yield per plant, the number of fruits, the diameter, the firmness and the total soluble solids (TSS) were determined. The yield of both cultivars was similar in the 20-month-old plants. The 'Sharpblue' 36-month-old plants had an accumulated yield that was 60% higher than that of the 'Biloxi' cultivar due to the fact that they produced a higher number of fruits. In addition, the Sharpblue fruits tended to present higher TSS values. Although both cultivars were similar in terms of firmness, 'Biloxi' stood out more than 'Sharpblue' in the 20-month-old plants. The individual weight and diameter of the fruits were similar for both cultivars.
