Sommario/riassunto

All articles in the presented collection are high-quality examples of both basic and applied research. The publications collectively refer to apples, bananas, cherries, kiwi fruit, mango, grapes, green bean pods, pomegranates, sweet pepper, sweet potato tubers and tomato and are aimed at improving the postharvest quality and storage extension of fresh produce. The experimental works include the following postharvest treatments: 1-methylcycloprpene, methyl jasmonate, immersion in edible coatings (aloe, chitosan, plant extracts, nanoemulsions, ethanol, ascorbic acid and essential oils solutions), heat treatments, packaging, innovative packaging materials, low temperature, low O2 and high CO2 modified atmosphere, and non-destructible technique development to measure soluble solids with infra- and near infra-red spectroscopy. Preharvest treatments were also included, such as chitosan application, fruit kept on the vine, and cultivation under far-red light. Quality assessment was dependent on species, treatment and storage conditions in each case and included evaluation of color, bruising, water loss, organoleptic estimation and texture changes in addition to changes in the concentrations of sugars, organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, carotenoids, tocopherols, phytosterols, phenolic compounds and aroma volatiles. Gene transcription related to ethylene biosynthesis, modification of cell wall



components, synthesis of aroma compounds and lipid metabolism were also the focus of some of the articles.

Sommario/riassunto

Ettore Lepore, pendant les travaux du Congrès VII des études sur la Grèce antique, a ouvert un colloque sur l'histoire de Sibaritide entre les Ve et VIe siècles avant J.C. qui a produit au cours des trente dernières années de nombreuses contributions, avec des conclusions qui ont donné progressivement forme à la persistance d'une communauté de Sibariti après 511 av. J.C. Cependant, malgré les preuves d'une survie, la date de la fin de Sybaris a souvent constitué un problème qui a empêché une ...
