Assessment of functional and pasting properties of fresh orange maize hybrids and open-pollinated varieties as influence...
The study evaluates the effects of genotype, maturity, and growing location on the functional and pasting properties of freshly harvested orange maize hybrids and open-pollinated varieties (OPVs). Eight fresh orange maize hybrid and eight fresh maize OPV, including the control, were harvested at three stages: 20, 27, and 34 days after planting (DAP...
Harvesting time and roasting effects on colour properties, xanthophylls, phytates, tannins and vitamin C contents of ora...
Published in Scientific Reports
Biofortified maize varieties form an essential part of a nutritious diet; available evidence suggests that different processing methods may affect the final food products. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of processing (roasting) and harvesting time on the bioactive components (lutein, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin, phytate, tannin and vitamin...
Sweet Cherry Skin Colour Measurement as an Non-Destructive Indicator of Fruit Maturity
Published in Acta Universitatis Cibiniensis. Series E: Food Technology
Colour measurement is one of the methods used to evaluate food quality. Aim of completed research was the evaluation of a fast and non-destructive method which consisted of assessing colour changes. It was used to determine the ripeness of cherries during their harvest. Additionally, the most significant parameter determining fruit ripeness was ide...
Saccharification Performances of Miscanthus at the Pilot and Miniaturized Assay Scales: Genotype and Year Variabilities ...
Published in Frontiers in Plant Science
HIGHLIGHTS Biomass production and cell wall composition are differentially impacted by harvesting year and genotypes, influencing then cellulose conversion in miniaturized assay. Using a high-throughput miniaturized and semi-automated method for performing the pretreatment and saccharification steps at laboratory scale allows for the assessment of ...
Samenstelling van blad, stengel en rhizomen in relatie tot optimaal oogst-tijdstip van Miscanthus x giganteus
Een aantal inhoudsstoffen (o.a. suikers, lignine, pectine) van Miscanthus x giganteus is onderzocht in stengel, blad en rhizomen voor de oogstmomenten juli en januari met het oog op het optimale oogstmoment. Aanvullend literatuuronderzoek toont aan dat eind oktober het optimale oogstmoment is op basis van maximale bovengrondse drogestof- en suikero...
Harvest date modifies seed quality and oil composition of Jatropha curcas growth under subtropical conditions in Argenti...
One of the most currently promoted new crops for biodiesel productions the perennial species Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae) due to its promising high seed yields with high oil concentrations (33–39%) and oil quality that reaching the international biodiesel standards. Although there have been different evaluations of genotypes growing under the...

Oogstmoment snijmais beïnvloedt methaanuitstoot : Later oogsten mais verlaagt methaanuitstoot zonder negatieve bijeffect...
Wageningse diervoedingonderzoekers keken naar de gevolgen van het oogstmoment van mais op de methaanemissie. De conclusie is dat per procent drogestoftoename van snijmais in maisrijke rantsoenen de methaanvorming per kilogram meetmelk met 1,5 procent wordt verlaagd.
