Effect of boron on fruit quality in pineapple

Abstract

Abstract. Boron (B) is an important element for the plant. The aim of work was to study the effect of B on fruit quality of pineapple. The experiment was carried out with 'Comte de paris' variety in pots. The results demonstrated that B had positive effect on fruit weight, TSS, the ratio of TSS/acidity, Vitamin C, the content of aroma volatile compounds. The B had no effect on the content of the three sugars (sucrose, fructose and glucose) and titrable acidity. There was a positive effect on fruit quality by application of B fertilizer in production of pineapple.

Optimization of Extraction Conditions and Characterization of Volatile Organic Compounds of Eugenia klotzschiana O. Berg Fruit Pulp

“…It is noteworthy that the fruit aroma associated with the characteristics of color, texture, and size is fundamental in the perception and subsequent predilection of the consumer to a particular food. Furthermore, volatile compounds can be used to differentiate varieties of the same plant species [ 9 ], as important chemical signals in the cultivation and maintenance of the species in nature [ 20 ], and also allow the characterization of the fruit maturation stages and its quality as a whole [ 21 ].…”

Effects of foliar application of gibberellic acid, boric acid and sucrose on noni (M. citrifolia L.) fruit growth and quality

“…As stated earlier, boron enhances cell division and cell enlargement, together with increasing the rate of sugar transport to actively growing regions and developing fruits (Shalan, 2013;Sharma, 2016). Significant increase in the fruit sizes with foliar spraying of BA were also reported for guava (Pippal et al, 2019), pineapple (Wei et al, 2018) and mandarin (Ullah et al, 2012). Increased fruit yield and weight with the application of foliar GA 3 at 20 ppm and 40 ppm were also reported by Yehia and Hassan (2005) and El-Seginy et al (2003).…”

Differentiation of Transylvanian fruit distillates using supervised statistical tools based on isotopic and elemental fingerprint

“…It is known that application of B fertilizer leads to a positive effect on fruit quality. 13,25 Foliar B sprays promoted the B concentrations of apple, pear, plum and sour cherry leaves. 26 In addition, an interconnection between B and Ca exists because B increases the Ca absorption in fruit.…”

“…Based on these roles, to obtain boron as a marker is not surprising. It is known that application of B fertilizer leads to a positive effect on fruit quality 13,25 . Foliar B sprays promoted the B concentrations of apple, pear, plum and sour cherry leaves 26 .…”
