Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acceptance or rejection of any edible commodity, whether it is raw or processed, is usually conditioned by sensory stimuli. The impact of these stimuli on the decision-making proce·ss is broadly termed sensory evaluation. Advances in sensory evaluation research have been slow in the past because of the human factor-the necessity to use highly trained sensory panels to conduct this research. High technology in strumentation and new understandings of sensory evaluations are now combining to make possible quantum jumps forward in sensory eval uation research. It is widely recognized that the sensory aspects of fruits and vegeta bles are affected by many factors, among them environment, variety, cultural practices, and handling practices. However, if one attempts to find a general reference or compilation of findings regarding this sub ject area there seems to be few, if any, available. A survey of the literature does suggest that in the past few years research into specific factors which influence the sensory aspects of fruits and vegetables has increased significantly. This increased interest in sensory research and the renewed national awareness of the value of research into pre and postharvest quality of fruits and vegetables prompted the Flavor Subdivision, Agricultural and Food Chemistry Division, American Chemical Society to sponsor a symposium entitled "Sensory Evalua tion of Fruits and Vegetables: Effect of Environment, Cultural Prac tices and Variety" during the 1982 meeting in Kansas City, Missouri.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the present study has been the specification and measurement of the characteristics of the intraseasonal demand for fresh Bartlett pears. In particular, the study has focused attention on a particular producing area, the Rogue River Valley of Oregon. The intraseasonal analysis for fresh Bartlett pears was performed using two alternative specifications on the model of the Bartlett pear market. In the first model, it was assumed that each bi-weekly supply function was perfectly inelastic and that the supply quantity was determined by factors other than the current price of fresh Bartlett pears. The bi-weekly demand functions were estimated by the ordinary least-squares method. In the second model, it was assumed that growers set prices on the basis of the market prices they had most recently observed and of their total holdings of Bartlett pears. A price predicting equation was then estimated by ordinary least-squares and the resulting predicted prices were used in estimating the parameters of the demand functions. In both models, the analysis was performed alternatively by subperiods and by marketing seasons. The latter differed from the former in that the years under study were separated into sets of years having the same number of subperiods. The subperiod analyses were performed by two approaches: 1) a demand equation was estimated for each subperiod, and 2) a single equation was specified in which the observations were indexed by year and by subperiod. Dummy variables and product terms of the quantity variables were employed to permit shifts in the level and the slope of the demand function. The marketing season analyses were performed by the second approach. The results obtained from the investigation of the two hypotheses show that the Medford demand function changes level within season. This finding is more pronounced in the marketing season analysis. The marketing-season analysis of the first model indicated that changes in the slope of the demand function also took place. These results suggest that there is, in fact, a seasonal pattern to the derived demand facing the sellers of fresh Bartlett pears from Medford district. The elasticity of the Medford demand curve changes in response to the shifts of the California supply curve and possibly the appearance of the winter varieties. The two hypotheses yielded consistent results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in novel materials, sensing principles and signal processing are paving the way for new types of analytical sensors, offering improved sensing performance and practicality. Such advancements will provide accurate and real-time analytical information in the environmental, food, and healthcare sectors to better guide decision-making. For sensors to be commercially viable, the miniaturisation and integration of components for rapid, automated, in-field detection and diagnosis need to be considered. This book highlights state-of-the-art sensors technology in Australia through original contributions and reviews.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Biological and physical practices in marketing vegetables and fruits have benefited from research with horticultural crops on the preparation, packaging, distribution and storage of fresh produce. Study of post-harvest physiology and control of crop diseases has resulted in increased production of fresh vegetables, including potatoes and melons. Marketing of commercial crop includes harvesting, sorting, grading, packaging, transport,storage and protection of the vegetabes during wholesale-retail distribution. Suitable environments for thevegetables at each phase of marketing are described to provide information for workers in the vegetable industry.
