This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instructions for Forecasting Decay in Table Grapes for Storage Decay in stored table grapes could be reduced ii, at harvest or shortly thereafter, the shipper could estimate the amount of decay that would develop in specific lots of fruit during storage. Such an estimate or forecast would enable him to arrange and identify his lots in storage in a way that would permit the marketing of poor keeping lots early and the retention of only sound, decay-free fruit for late marketing. The storability of a particular lot of fruit may be judged from a history of fruit harvested in past years from the same vineyard, on the general appearance of the fruit at harvest, on the weather to which the fruit had been exposed before harvest, or on periodic inspections made during the storage period. A rating based on all but the last of these factors requires much experience and reliable storage records over a period of years. Such records may not be available in a new storage plant, in one in which the personnel are new, or in one storing fruit that may come from a different source each year. Neither can factors related to the effect of exposure to weather before harvest always be accurately evaluated. Heavy rains of long duration have a decisive effect on decay, but the effects of light rains of short duration, morning dews, and heavy fogs are more difficult to determine. Forecasting decay in grapes for storage, using laboratory techniques, is a way of supplementing the available information about a particular lot of fruit and of arriving at a more objective prediction of its keeping quality.

This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Handling of California Table Grapes Apart from the normal variations in different varieties of grapes, the occurrence of defective or poorly formed berries and various blemishes sometimes affects the Shipping quality of the fruit. The cause of certain abnormal or diseased conditions found on stems and berries is not well understood in some cases, nor are satisfactory methods of control known. Almeria spot of the Chanez and other grapes sometimes affects the appearance and sale of the fruit, but it has not been shown to injure the keeping quality during the usual period of cold storage. This spotting ofthe berries consists of small brownish Or darkened portions of the flesh which develop between the seed and the skin of the berry. Grapes that have developed the abnormal condition known as water berry or red berry have thin skins and are easily split or cracked. They are usually removed in culling. The stems of certain bunches may show a weak, flabby, or immature condition and fail to cure normally. Parts Of the stem may become moldy or entirely wilted and black. Bunches showing this condition are usually unsatisfactory for ship. Ment, chiefly because of the appearance of mold on the stems. Pow dery mildew causes wilting, discoloration, or scarring of the stems and berries and becomes important in affecting the shipping qualities Of table grapes, mainly during or following a period Of moist or wet weather. It can usually be controlled by proper treatment in the vineyard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maturity Tests for Table Grapes Collection of Samples - During 1927 and 1928, while the methods of scoring and analysis were being tested, the collection of samples was confined to the table grape varieties in the University Farm vineyards at Davis. Each day during the harvesting season one lot of twelve samples was collected so as to represent a range of ripeness from well below what would be considered fair in eating quality to what would be considered good to excellent. Each lot was. Composed of a single variety. The individual samples. Of a lot represented approximately five pounds of grapes of as nearly the same degree of ripeness as it was possible: to obtain by tasting each cluster before it was removed from the vine. In the seasons of 1929, 1930, and 1931 samples of the leading table grape varieties in the ripening range, i.e. From poor to good in eating quality, were also collected from all of the principal districts of the state in which they are grown. In these collections usually-only one lot, and at mos-t two lots, of twelve samples of one variety were obtained from one grower. Six or more lots of each variety were obtained in each of the principal districts. By collecting only one lot of a. Variety {from a ranch and obtaining fruit from as many locations in a district as possible, fruit which was fairly re-presentative of the district was obtained. After collection, the samples were immediately shipped to 'davis by express and stored at 30 F until the day before they could be scored and analyzed. The fruit was always brought to room tempera ture for the scoring. In no' case was the storage period sufficiently long to result in'any appreciable changes in the quality of the fruit: The samples from the University Farm vineyards were score-d and analyzed on the day they were collected. Scoring the Samples. - The samples of one lot. Of fruit were placed at random on a table and numbered from one'to twelve. The indi vidual scorers then tasted a sufficient number of the berries from various parts of the clusters of each sample to enable them to designate its eating quality as poor, fair, good, very good, or excellent. Of the total group of 43 individuals that cooperated in the scoring at least 6 and usually not more than 8 tasted each sample of a. Lot of fruit. Each of the individuals scored the samples of fruit independently This method of scoring along with the fact that only one lot of fruit was scored on one day which was not enough to deaden the power of discrimination of the tasters, resulted in a. Fairly accurate evaluation of the relative eating qualityiof the Samples. That this was true is. Indicated by the precision with which the poor samples are separated fro-m the good in the tables presented in connection with the discussion of-the Balling-acid ratio as a means of measuring palatability.

Download or read book Fruit Processing written by D. Arthey and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fruit and fruit products, in all their many varieties and variations, are major world commodities and part of the economic life blood of many countries, particularly in the developing world. The perception of the healthy nature of fruit is a major reason for its increased consumption in the developed world, and many consumers today find a wider selection of fruit varieties, available at all times of the year, than ever before. This volume, however, is not so much concerned with fresh fruit as those principal areas of processing to which it may be subjected. Fruit processing arose as a means of utilising a short-lived product and preserving its essential nutritional qualities as far as possible. A chapter on the nutritional aspects of fruit is included in this work to reflect the importance of this topic to most consumers. After a general introduction, the chapter on fruit storage is the only contribution which deals with a process from which fruit emerges in essentially the same physical condition. Beyond that the book sets out to cover most of the major areas in which fruit may be processed into forms which bear varying semblances to the original raw material.
Book Synopsis Hoosiers and the American Story by : Madison, James H.
Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
