Download or read book How Color of Red Delicious Apples Affects Their Sales Classic Reprint written by Hugh Madison Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Color of Red Delicious Apples Affects Their Sales Since the fresh market is by far the maj or outlet for Red Delicious, existing price differentials are of major significance and concern to growers. Full coloring of the fruit is also a problem to growers of other major varieties of red apples. Existing pricing practices which place a premium on highly colored fruit may also encourage cultural practices that adversely affect the quality of fruit available to consumers. For example, growers in an effort to obtain better color in their apples and hence higher prices may leave fruit on the tree beyond its optimum maturity. Overmature apples become more susceptible to bruising and are likely to have a shorter shelf life than fruit harvested at proper maturity. Thus bet ter color is gained at the expense of other quality factors, and the over all condition of the fruit when it reaches the consumer may have a bad influence on purchases and demand.

Download or read book A Comparison of the Keeping Quality of Jonathan and of Red Delicious Apples Stored in Field Boxes Or Prepackaged in Film Bags Classic Reprint written by John Thomas Worthington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Comparison of the Keeping Quality of Jonathan and of Red Delicious Apples Stored in Field Boxes or Prepackaged in Film Bags Jonathan apples did not scald during 3 months' storage at 32° or 40° F. Or during the 7-day holding period at 70° following storage. Some scald developed on the Red Delicious apples from two of the three orchards during 3 months' storage at This scald developed on both prepackaged and bulk lots even though fruit was initially treated with the scald-inhibitor ethoxyquin. Apples in these tests showed little difference in keeping quality during short storage whether they were prepackaged or bulk stored in field boxes. Good-quality Jonathan and Red Delicious apples can be stored prepackaged in film bags in master cartons for up to 2 months at 32° F. Without any repacking problem. Longer storage of fruit prepackaged at harvest would increase the risk of deterioration (decay, scald, internal breakdown) and the possible need for repacking some of the fruit. The main values of prepackaging apples before storage are reduction of injuries and costs from double handling and reduction of weight loss and shrivelling. Increasing quantities of apples are packaged in 3 4 5 8 and io-pound perforated film bags at production areas and in terminal markets. In 1966, about 60 percent of all apples sold on the fresh market were prepackaged, according to us. Department of Agriculture estimates. A common practice in production areas is to store either graded or orchard-run apples in field boxes or in pallet bins at harvest and prepackage them as orders are received. This practice gives a fresh pack but requires considerable handling. Bruising of apples generally is directly proportional to the amount of handling. If part of the cr0p could be_ prepackaged at harvest and storedsuccessfully in master containers until sold, quality for consumers might be at least as good as, if not better than, that of apples in fresh packs.

Download or read book Eat the Apple written by Matt Young and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Iliad of the Iraq war" (Tim Weiner)--a gut-wrenching, beautiful memoir of the consequences of war on the psyche of a young man. Eat the Apple is a daring, twisted, and darkly hilarious story of American youth and masculinity in an age of continuous war. Matt Young joined the Marine Corps at age eighteen after a drunken night culminating in wrapping his car around a fire hydrant. The teenage wasteland he fled followed him to the training bases charged with making him a Marine. Matt survived the training and then not one, not two, but three deployments to Iraq, where the testosterone, danger, and stakes for him and his fellow grunts were dialed up a dozen decibels. With its kaleidoscopic array of literary forms, from interior dialogues to infographics to prose passages that read like poetry, Young's narrative powerfully mirrors the multifaceted nature of his experience. Visceral, ironic, self-lacerating, and ultimately redemptive, Young's story drops us unarmed into Marine Corps culture and lays bare the absurdism of 21st-century war, the manned-up vulnerability of those on the front lines, and the true, if often misguided, motivations that drove a young man to a life at war. Searing in its honesty, tender in its vulnerability, and brilliantly written, Eat the Apple is a modern war classic in the making and a powerful coming-of-age story that maps the insane geography of our times.

Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.
Download or read book Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing written by Y. H. Hui and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The processing of fruits continues to undergo rapid change. In the Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing, Dr. Y.H. Hui and his editorial team have assembled over forty respected academicians and industry professionals to create an indispensable resource on the scientific principles and technological methods for processing fruits of all types. The book describes the processing of fruits from four perspectives: a scientific basis, manufacturing and engineering principles, production techniques, and processing of individual fruits. A scientific knowledge of the horticulture, biology, chemistry, and nutrition of fruits forms the foundation. A presentation of technological and engineering principles involved in processing fruits is a prelude to their commercial production. As examples, the manufacture of several categories of fruit products is discussed. The final part of the book discusses individual fruits, covering their harvest to a finished product in a retail market. As a professional reference book replete with the latest research or as a practical textbook filled with example after example of commodity applications, the Handbook of Fruits and Fruit Processing is the current, comprehensive, yet compact resource ideal for the fruit industry.
Download or read book Albion s Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
