Fumigation with limonene showed no antifungal activity. Citral did not show full inhibition of green mould decay in Navel oranges, however the treatment did not cause fruit’s rind injury. It would be worthy to conduct further research as fumigation with citral has potential to provide an alternative decay control or green mould in citrus fruit.]]> Wed 28 Sep 2022 09:33:57 AEST ]]> Lemon myrtle and lemon scented tea tree essential oils as potential inhibitors of green mould on citrus fruits https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51658 pure citral > LSTT, with 1000 μL L−1 LM EO the optimal treatment. The greater response of LM over LSTT EO was attributed to its higher concentration of citral but the greater effect over citral suggested some minor constituent(s) of LM EO also had antifungal activity. While the 120 sec dips caused severe rind injury, a 30 sec dip in 1000 µL L−1 LM EO generated only slight injury and inhibited fungal wastage in Valencia and Navel oranges, mandarins and lemons. A 10 sec dip did not cause rind injury but was less effective for mould inhibition. The findings suggest LM EO as an alternative to synthetic fungicides to inhibit wastage in citrus during storage, particularly for organic produce.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:52:11 AEDT ]]> Biochar and compost-based integrated nutrient management: potential for carbon and microbial enrichment in degraded acidic and charland soils https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45551 Wed 28 Feb 2024 14:47:27 AEDT ]]> Inequality in utilization of cesarean delivery in Bangladesh: a decomposition analysis using nationally representative data https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47652 Wed 13 Mar 2024 18:29:58 AEDT ]]> Analysis of MHD radiative and chemical reactive transient boundary layer Casson nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet with viscous dissipation effect: a computational study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33633 Tue 27 Nov 2018 16:46:24 AEDT ]]> Speciation and health risk assessment of arsenic in groundwater of Punjab, Pakistan https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29268 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:17 AEDT ]]> Arsenic and trace elements in groundwater, vegetables and selected food grains from middle gangetic plain-human health perspective https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29775 80%) samples found above BIS and WHO permissible limit, while 28% samples exceeded the previous WHO drinking water guideline (400 µg/L) for manganese (Mn). In dietary food grains As followed the sequence as rice > wheat > maize. The estimated daily intake by individual of As, Mn, Ni, Cd, Co, Pb, Zn and Cr from drinking water and dietary food grains were 169,14582, 474, 19, 26, 1449, 12955 and 882 µg/ kg. The Health Risk Index (HRI) were >1 for As in drinking water, vegetables and rice indicated the potential health risk to the residents of the study area. However, HRI <1 for wheat and maize indicate a relative absence of health risks associated with their ingestion.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:31 AEDT ]]>
