Instrumental and sensory analysis of eating quality of peaches and nectarines
2010
The influence of flesh firmness on consumer acceptance and its relationship with total soluble solids concentration (TSSC), titratable acidity (TTA) and sensory analysis was studied to understand their interaction in determining acceptance judgments, for different organoleptic typologies of peaches and nectarines. The investigation was carried out during summer 2006 on fruit of ‘September Sun’ and ‘Sweet September’ (low acid) peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch), and ‘Maria Dolce’ (low acid) and ‘Venus’ nectarines (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, var. nucipersica). Sensory descriptors for peaches and nectarines were Flesh firmness, Sweetness, Sourness, Aroma, and Acceptability. The panel was able…
Dziewiętnastowieczne górnośląskie protokoły sądu rozjemczego jako podstawa badań językowych
2019
Artykuł dowodzi, że w warunkach obcej państwowości ukształtował się w XIX stuleciu na Śląsku polski protokół sądowy jako gatunek tekstu. Oparty był na wzorach niemieckich, wymaganych przez oficjalne czynniki administracyjne. Zawierał konstytutywne wyznaczniki gatunkowe protokołu. Świadczą o tym liczne protokoły polskie zapisane w księgach protokolarnych sądów rozjemczych powiatu strzeleckiego, przechowywane w Archiwum Państwowym w Opolu. Istnienie i funkcjonowanie tego gatunku w określonej sytuacji historycznej Śląska, na przestrzeni siedmiu dziesięcioleci, w warunkach dominacji niemczyzny i przy stałe nasilających się naciskach germanizacyjnych świadczy o nieco szerszym zakresie użytkowani…
A survey of carbon sequestration potential of orchards and vineyards in Italy
2016
Orchards and vineyards are important land use types in Southern Europe. In spite of their potential to sequester atmospheric C and to mitigate climate change, relatively little is known regarding the influx and outflux of C in these systems. The aim of this work is to provide data on the C budget, including net primary production (NPP), C removal through production, and C sequestration potential for the vineyards and the main fruit tree species (apple, citrus, olive, and peach) grown in Italy. Standing biomass and NPP were measured, and net ecosystem exchange and net C balance assessed directly, through either eddy covariance technique, or considering NPP and heterotrophic respiration. Abov…
Development and application of a new Edible Coating on fruits and fresh-cut fruits.
2014
Il progetto di ricerca ha come scopo il miglioramento della gestione post-raccolta dei frutti (interi e di IV gamma), intervenendo sull’estensione della shelf-life; valutando l’utilizzo di composti provenienti da materiali di scarto delle filiere produttive agroalimentari o risorse alternative da utilizzare come nuovi rivestimenti commestibili (edible coating: EC). La novità riguarda lo sviluppo di un edible coating a partire da residui vegetali di Posidonia oceanica, pianta acquatica mediterranea ampiamente diffusa sulle coste siciliane, responsabile di accumulo di biomassa sulle spiagge. Per soddisfare, in maniera efficace, l’obiettivo iniziale si vorrebbe creare una interazione tra 1-MCP…
ASPETTI FISIOLOGICI E QUALITATIVI NEL PROCESSO DI MATURAZIONE DI ALCUNE CULTIVAR DI PESCO (Prunus persica L. Batsch) IN POST-RACCOLTA ED IN IV GAMMA
2014
L’importanza della peschicoltura siciliana è evidenziata dalla percentuale dell’ 8% con cui concorre la superficie peschicola italiana e da un ampio assortimento varietale, connotato dalla rilevante presenza di genotipi autoctoni, che godono di un notevole successo commerciale. In tale contesto, per le loro pregevoli caratteristiche organolettiche, legate all’aroma e al flavour persistenti, si collocano le produzioni peschicole dei Monti Sicani, commercializzate con il termine di “Pesca di Bivona” e le cv della “Pesca di Leonforte”, oggetto della presente trattazione e in precedenza di altre ricerche (Caruso et al., 1983; Baratta et al., 1986; Marchese et al., 2006; Montevecchi et al., 2012…
Effect of drying condition on Leonforte peaches
2013
Leonforte peaches ripen in September and October and even as late as November. They are wrapped in paper bags to protect them from the wind and parasites and are harvested only when perfectly ripe. Protected inside the bags, they ripen late and take on a bright yellow colour with red streaks. Wonderfully scented, the peach boasts yellow, firm flesh that is sweet with a distinctive, slightly caramelized flavour. Aim of this paper was to set a drying process for fresh fruit transformation. In fact, the fruit harvest is limited in a very short time, so is important to find a conservation method. Drying process was carried out in a pilot plant setting different temperature and time condition. T…
Elections, Referendums and Parties
2015
By the end of 2014, the Baltic states had held a total of 19 parliamentary, 19 municipal and 3 cycles of European Parliament elections. Lithuania, which elects its president via a national popular vote, had additionally held six presidential polls. Another 23 referendums have been held since August 1991. The rigidity of the Lithuanian and Latvian electoral and judicial institutions have been tested by the 2004 impeachment of Lithuanian president, Rolandas Paksas, and the subsequent early presidential election, as well as a referendum on the recall of Latvia’s parliament in the summer of 2011 and the following early election. Estonia is recognised as an electoral innovator, being the first s…
Constitutionalism and the Presidency in the Russian Federation
2003
The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has emphasized the idea that the state should be a leading actor in post-Communist reconstruction. This chapter argues that constitutionalism, in the narrow meaning of the rule of law in the political process, coexists with a mildly authoritarian, state-oriented presidential regime such as the Russian Federation under Vladimir Putin. In Russian discourse, political reconstruction has been seen as cynical ‘political technology’ and Putin’s way to power is the primary example of such a kind of technology. The constitution and its interpretation by the Russian Constitutional Court give vast powers to the president. Under Yeltsin some attempts by the Duma …
Fresh-cut storage of fruit and fresh-cuts affects the behaviour of minimally processed Big Bang nectarines ( Prunus persica L. Batsch) during shelf l…
2018
Abstract Nectarine can be minimally processed to successfully produce ready-to-eat fresh-cuts fruit. The aim of this work was to study the combined effect of the ripening stage of cold stored fruit before processing and the length of the storage period of fresh-cut slices after minimal processing, on the behaviour of minimally processed “Big Bang” nectarines during shelf life. ‘Big Bang’nectarine slices obtained from fruit stored at 1 ± 0.5 °C (RH = 90%) for 1 d, 10 d and 15 d were stored for 0, 3, 5, 7, 12 d. at 5 °C. At the end of each storage period, visual quality, color (L*, a* and b*), phenols and carothenoids content, TSS, TA were measured together with in-package CO2 and O2. Despite…
Canopy Architecture Appraisal by Fractal Dimension of 'Flordastar' Peach Trees Grafted onto Different Rootstocks
2007
The objective of this research was to evaluate the modification of canopy architecture of ''Flordastar'' peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) grafted onto rootstocks with different vigour, by the use of fractal dimension (D). The hypothesis was that different vigour rootstocks are able to modify the complexity of the branching pattern and that this effect can be assessed by a geometric parameter such as the fractal dimension (D) of the 2D projection of tree branching structure. The observations were carried out in a four-year-old experimental orchard of cv. ''Flordastar'' peach trees grafted onto Ishtara, Barrier, GF677 and MrS 2/5 rootstocks. On digital pictures of leafless, dormant peach tree…
