This may also be indicative of a higher turgor pressure, which contributes to higher firmness in apple fruit [ 5].
In the 2010 data, there were genotypes that had significantly (p<0.01) higher firmness both at harvest and following storage in different sites, as well as genotypes that appeared to be completely unaffected by the environment between these two orchards.
In kiwifruit, 80% HRW treatment can effectively reduce rot incidence and maintain higher firmness (Hu et al. 2014), leading to increased radical (O2 − and.OH scavenging activity in kiwifruit.
In kiwifruit, 80% HRW treatment can effectively reduce rot incidence and maintain a higher firmness (Xing et al. 2007), which is similar to our results.
Moreover, 25% HRW treatment maintained higher firmness and delay weight loss.
Meanwhile, this treatment maintained a lower weight loss (Fig. 2a) and a higher firmness (Fig. 2b) and increased the contents of polysaccharide, protein, total sugar and amino acids (Table 2) in H. marmoreus compared with the control group, suggesting that H2 was beneficial for delaying senescence in mushrooms.
A third harvest was performed at all three sites in 2011 using a subset of 127 seedlings selected for carrying high firmness alleles of QTLs linked to PG1 and ACO1.
The 2011 data collected on three sites were not included in the variance and correlation analysis as the population was biased toward high firmness alleles at one locus.
Lower addition of wheat bran and NaCl into patty resulted in higher acceptable product with respect to firmness, juiciness and overall quality properties.
Kiwifruit storage connected to the reactor had higher flesh firmness compared to the control samples.
