The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of the pulp of red fruits with different concentrations of potassium sorbate. The experiment was conducted at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology in southern Minas Gerais - Campus Machado, using three pulps that were formulated with equal amounts of each fruit (blackberry, raspberry and strawberry) crushed the proportion of sucrose used was 1/6 and water 1/6 with respect to the total mass of crushed red fruits. The heat treatment was 100 ° C for 10 minutes. The concentration of potassium sorbate used was 0%, 0.05% and 0.1%. After cooling, the pulps were packaged in plastic containers containing 150 mL. The packages containing the pulps were sealed, identified and stored at 25 ° C in BOD incubator for 60 days. The microbiological, chemical and physical performed every 30 days, were as follows: yeast and mold, coliforms at 35 º C and 45 º C, analysis of Salmonella sp, vitamin C, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, color analysis (values L *, a *, b *, C * and h °). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Treatments were arranged by a 3 x 3 factorial, being constituted by factors concentration of potassium sorbate (0%, 0.05% and 0.1%) and storage time (0, 30 and 60 days), respectively. The experimental plot consisted of a plastic satisfaction 150 mL of red fruit pulp. The pulp of red fruits with no added potassium sorbate stored at 25 º C for 30 days showed a count of yeasts and molds above the limit specified by Brazilian law. The red fruit pulps treated with 0.05% and 0.1% potassium sorbate were enough to ensure the stability of physical, chemical and microbiological during the 60 days of storage at 25 ° C. As the red fruit pulps with addition of 0.05% and 0.1% potassium sorbate have substantially similar results it is recommended to use in production of the fruit pulp red adding 0.05% potassium sorbate as preservative Red fruit pulp for economy product. Results were subjected to analysis of variance, after the comparison test of means, with a statistically significant difference of 5%. / As técnicas de conservação de alimentos, mantêm um grande número possível das características naturais das frutas, tornando seu armazenamento e comercialização viáveis por um período de tempo superior ao que se conseguiria com o produto in natura.

The production of strawberries can be severely limited by soilborne plant pathogens, insects and weeds. Macrophomina phaseolina is a problematic soilborne fungal pathogen in California strawberry production inciting the disease Macrophomina crown rot. When established, the pathogen can cause extensive plant decline and mortality. Host resistance will be a critical tool for managing this disease and guiding breeding programs in the post methyl bromide era. Evaluation of host resistance in strawberry germplasm to M. phaseolina was evaluated through phenotypic assessments of disease incidence. A total of 90 strawberry cultivars and elite selections were included in a replicated field trial conducted in artificially inoculated soils to assess host resistance. Significant differences in levels of resistance and susceptibility were observed among genotypes tested in this trial. The five most resistant strawberry genotypes from highest to lowest in percent plant mortality were: UC-R, UC-G, UC-V, Manresa, and Osceola. The five most susceptible strawberry genotypes with the highest percent mortality in ranking order from highest to lowest were: UC-J, Ruby June, Festival, UC-Y, and UC-A. Of the genotypes tested in this trial UC-V, Manresa and Osceola could be characterized as highly resistant, but no complete resistance was observed. An additional study was conducted to correlate host symptom expression with the extent of pathogen colonization in different strawberry tissues, and to determine if resistant germplasm can contribute to secondary inoculum production in the field. An established qPCR method was utilized to quantify M. phaseolina colonization of strawberry tissues. There were significant effects for cultivar (P < 0.0001) as well as a significant two-way interaction of cultivar x sample time (P= 0.0083) on the concentration of M. phaseolina DNA detected in strawberry tissues. Expression of the resistant phenotype in strawberry cultivars was associated with limited plant colonization by M. phaseolina. The extent of colonization of a specific cultivar by M. phaseolina was dependent on the sample time after inoculation with the pathogen. In addition, the roots and crowns of a specific strawberry cultivar were equally colonized on a per plant tissue weight basis, but this provides only speculation into the mechanisms conferring host resistance. A third study was conducted to integrate host resistance of strawberry genotypes with the use of organic amendments in effort to mutually enhance the efficacy of each factor for the control of Macrophomina crown rot. Artificially inoculated potting substrate was amended with Brassica juncea mustard seed meal at a rate of 4.94 tons ha-1(MSM), and anaerobic soil disinfestation utilizing rice bran at a rate of 22.24 tons ha-1 (ASD) were compared to a non-amended (UTC) and steam controls. The soil assay indicated that the ASD and steam treatments were able to reduce the CFU g-1 potting substrate of M. phaseolina by 99.7-100%. In addition, there were significant effects of soil treatment on the fresh biomass of weed seedlings recovered from the potting substrate. However, disease severity and host colonization of multiple strawberry cultivars by M. phaseolina was not reduced when grown in the treated potting substrate. The effect of strawberry cultivar on the extent of pathogen colonization was highly significant (P < 0.0001), in which cultivars characterized as resistant from phenotypic screenings possessed lower concentrations of M. phaseolina DNA. The suppression of M. phaseolina in response to organic amendments was limited but this study supports findings from previous experiments that genotype specific host resistance minimizes host colonization and reduces the production of secondary inoculum.

This diploma thesis was focused on study of low-molecular antioxidants present in various kinds of fruits, namely berries. In theoretical part detailed characterization of antioxidants studied in presented work and their biological effects are introduced. Further, principals of processing and storage of specified species of fruits are discussed. Changes observed during storage of specific fruits are described too. In practical part changes in content of selected antioxidants in berries were followed. As studied material strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, red and black currants were used. All kind of these fruits was stored in fridge for six months using several different kind of processing. Berries were stored as whole fruits, whole osmotically processed fruits by sucrose, raw pulp and sweetened pulp. At first, starting values of selected antioxidant parameters were measured in fresh fruits (ascorbate, total antioxidant activity, total phenolics, catechins and individual flavonoids). After freezing the same parameters were measured regularly in two month periods. As the most suitable method of fruit processing, with regard to antioxidant content, storage of the whole fruits or pulp can be recommended. Content of ascorbate decreased in all forms and species of the processed fruits during all the time of storage. Oppositely, the content of other studied antioxidants exhibited fluctuations or increasing trend. Sensory analysis was proved for the whole fruits and also for whole sweetened fruits.

Este trabajo busca investigar el sector agricultor dedicado a la producción de fresas e identificar sus principales carencias y problemas, para así proponer una solución viable dentro del contexto actual de este rubro. En ese sentido, se realizó la búsqueda de diferentes estudios de investigación previos que proporcionan información útil para este trabajo, abarcando temas de exportación, rentabilidad, estandarización y gestión de la calidad. Asimismo, se llevaron a cabo entrevistas a los agricultores locales para lograr obtener un diagnóstico de la producción de fresas en el distrito de Huaura y se encontró que el principal problema es la falta de estandarización de la producción de fresas a lo largo de la región y los altos volúmenes de producto que no alcanzan los niveles de calidad de exportación. De este modo, se estructuró un sistema de gestión que consta de tres procesos principales, a saber, Gestión de la Calidad, Planeamiento y Control de la Producción y Gestión Logística, que trabajan en conjunto e intercambian información. Este trabajo se enfoca particularmente en el desarrollo y explicación del proceso estratégico de Gestión de Calidad, el cual se desarrolló tomando los valores y lineamientos del modelo de excelencia EFQM y las buenas prácticas agrícolas de México y California. Finalmente, los resultados del piloto de implementación que se llevó a cabo mostraron mejoras en el volumen de producción y estándares del producto, mientras que el modelo fue validado por parte de los agricultores en base a su experiencia en la puesta en marcha del piloto. / This work seeks to investigate the agricultural sector dedicated to the production of strawberries and identify its main deficiencies and problems, in order to propose a viable solution within the current context of this item. In this sense, a search was carried out for different previous research studies that provide useful information for this work, covering issues of export, profitability, standardization and quality management. Likewise, interviews to local farmers were carried out to obtain a diagnosis of strawberry production in Huaura District and it was found that the main problem is the lack of standardization of strawberry production throughout the region and the high volumes of product that do not reach the export quality levels. In this way, a management system was structured that consists of three main processes, namely, Quality Management, Production Planning and Control, and Logistics Management, which work together and exchange information. This work is particularly focused on the development and explanation of the strategic process Quality Management, which was developed taking the values ​​and guidelines of the EFQM excellence model and the best agricultural practices from Mexico and California. Finally, the results of the implementation pilot that was carried out showed improvements in the production volume and product standards, while the model was validated by the farmers based on their experience in the implementation of the pilot. / Tesis

Greater sage-grouse populations have decreased steadily since European settlement in western North America. Reduced availability of brood-rearing habitat has been identified as a limiting factor for many populations. We used radio-telemetry to acquire locations of sage-grouse broods from 1998 to 2012 in Strawberry Valley, Utah. Using these locations and remotely-sensed imagery, we proceeded to 1) determine which features of brood-rearing habitat could be identified using widely available, fine-scale imagery 2) assess the scale at which sage-grouse selected brood-rearing habitat in our study area, and 3) create a predictive habitat model that could be applied across our large study area to identify areas of preferred brood-rearing habitat. We used AIC model selection to evaluate support for a list of variables derived from remotely-sensed imagery. We examined the relationship of explanatory variables at three scales (45, 200, and 795 meter radii). Our top model included 10 variables (percent shrub, percent grass, percent tree, percent paved road, percent riparian, meters of sage/tree edge, meters of riparian/tree edge, distance to tree, distance to transmission lines, and distance to permanent structures). Variables from each scale were represented in our top model with the majority of scale-sensitive variables suggesting selection at the larger (795 meter) scale. When applied to our study area our top model predicted 75% of naive brood locations suggesting reasonable success using this method and widely available NAIP (National Agricultural Imagery Program) imagery. We encourage application of this method to other sage-grouse populations and species of conservation concern. The northern river otter is a cryptic semi-aquatic predator that establishes and uses latrines. Highly used river otter latrines indicate otter "activity centers" since frequency of scat deposition is thought to be correlated to frequency of habitat use. We compared an indirect method (scat counts) and a direct method (remote cameras) of determining latrine utilization in order to assess the accuracy of the commonly used indirect method. To further compare these methods we used them to examine effects of anthropogenic disturbance on otters of the Provo River in Utah. We found that overall the direct and indirect methods were highly correlated. There was significant seasonal variation in the degree of correlation between the indirect and direct methods with correlation being significantly higher in the summer. We found similar results when using these methods to examine effects of anthropogenic disturbance. For each method the distance of the latrine to trails was significant in one of the top competing models. We suggest that space use of otters in our study area is being affected by anthropogenic disturbance as measured by distance to trails. We also suggest that scat counts should only be conducted during the summer when they correlate best with actual levels of otter activity.

Verticillium wilt is a widespread soilborne disease of strawberry historically controlled by soil fumigation with methyl bromide (MB). MB was banned by the United Nations in 1995 and will be completely phased out by 2015. Research has concentrated on alternative methods of disease control without finding a single alternative able to replace MB in widespread disease control and yield increase. For the current study, strawberries were greenhouse grown in container pots filled with soil from both infested and non-infested areas of a commercial strawberry field in Watsonville, CA. Treatments included pre-plant soil fumigation with commercially available formulations of methyl bromide, chloropicrin, and 1, 3-Dichloropropene. Additional treatments included ozone gas (six treatments) and biological control (three treatments). Collected data included total plant yield, individual berry weight, number of fruit produced per plant, plant vegetative weight, infection status, and mineral concentration of fruit (calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, manganese, carbon, and nitrogen). Plants grown in ‘clean’ soil were less likely than plants grown in ‘infested’ soil to be infected with Verticillium. Plants grown in soil treated with MB had higher plant weight and yield than did non-treated control. Ozone and biological control treatments did not have statistically higher yield than non-treated control plants nor statistically lower yield than plants grown in soil treated with MB. Individual berry weights had a narrow range while the number of berries produced per treatment had a wide range. Data suggests strawberry yield is dependent on the number of berries produced per plant. Plants with high vegetative weight produced the highest yield suggesting large plants produce many berries resulting in higher yield.
