Researcher

Research Interests / Job description
• Fruit ripening processes including: cell wall degradation, ethylene metabolism, respiration, anaerobic respiration, color development, aroma and taste.
• Modified atmosphere/humidity packaging and fruit coating in order to maintain subtropical fruit quality.
• Finding solutions for keeping quality of organic fruits without using chemicals
• Application of 1-methylcyclopropane (1-MCP) in order to increase storage duration and to improve subtropical fruit quality.
• Alleviation of chilling injury and decay development in tropical and subtropical fruits including: avocado, mango, papaya, tomato, banana, guava, lychee, longan, date and fig.
• Alleviation of superficial scald in apple and pear by low oxygen pretreatments
• Improving fruit aroma and flavor in stored fruits by various abiotic stresses
• Study aroma volatiles by GC-MS techniques for identification of fruit taste
