This study was conducted during the season 2020-2021 in the laboratories of the College of Agriculture, the University of Basra, and the Technical Institute of the Southern Technical University to study two types of buckthorn fruits, namely Tuffahi and Earmotiun fruits, and the concentration of GABA was estimated in both varieties before maturity and full maturity. (HPLC) was used to determine the concentration of this vital substance and the results showed the presence of this acid in a higher concentration in the fresh phase of both cultivars, while the concentration of GABA in the pome fruit was higher than in the Emotion fruit. and microorganisms. It has many important and health-promoting functions. There are not many studies about this acid and its presence in plants, so this study aimed to confirm the presence of this acid in the fruits of buckthorn.

--Introduction. Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is the main and most valuable fruit crop of the northern mountainous region of Oman. Pomegranates are cultivated utilizing traditional farming methods including the determination of harvest dates, harvesting and postharvest handling. Materials and methods. Fruit of four native pomegranate cultivars ['Hamedh', 'Malasi', 'Helow' and 'Qusum', literally translated as sour, smooth, sweet and hardseeded, respectively] were tagged and monitored for 3 months up to commercial harvest. Fruit length (L) and diameter (D) were measured at weekly intervals starting from 66 d after full bloom until harvest (136 d after full bloom). Results and discussion. During the time course of fruit growth and development, significant changes occurred in fruit shape assessed by the [fruit length / fruit diameter] ratio in two cultivars ('Malasi' and 'Hamedh'), but not in the 'Helow' and 'Qusum' cultivars, which also had larger fruit size at harvest. The lack of obvious changes in fruit shape during growth and development of 'Qusum' and 'Helow' pomegranate cultivars indicates that the attainment of characteristic fruit shape may not be a good indicator of their maturity for harvest management. Thus, fruit harvesting based solely on size and shape is not sufficient and other physico-chemical fruit attributes should be taken into account when assessing readiness to harvest to ensure optimum income returns to growers.Oman / Punica granatum / fruits / growth rate / developmental stages / harvesting / development indicators Caractéristiques de la croissance du fruit de quatre cultivars de grenadiers au nord d'Oman.

The food industries are interested in developing functional products due to their popularity within nutritional and healthy circles. Functional fruit-based beverages represent one of the fast-growing markets due to the high concentrations of bioactive compounds (BCs), which can be health promoters. Hence, functional beverages based on citrus fruits are a potential way to take advantage of their nutritional and bioactive properties that could attract the interest of consumers. In order to ensure microbial and quality stability, the beverages are subjected to preservation treatment; however, the application of high temperatures leads to the loss of thermolabile BCs. Nowadays, innovative processing technologies (IPT) such as pulsed electric field (PEF), high-pressure processing (HPP), ultrasound processing (US), ohmic heating (OH), and microwave (MW) are a promising alternative due to their efficiency and low impact on juice BCs. The available literature concerning the effects of these technologies in functional fruit-based beverages is scarce; thus, this review gathers the most relevant information about the main positive and negative aspects of the IPT in functional properties, safety, and consumer acceptance of functional citrus-based beverages, as well as the use of citrus by-products to promote the circular economy in citrus processing.
