Summary: The composition of five pear varieties (‘Abate Fètel’, ‘Bosc’, ‘Williams’, ‘Conference’, ‘Packham’s Triumph’) grown in Nagy- kanizsa was investigated in three consecutive years (2008, 2009, 2010). A storage experiment was performed in 2008. Four winter pear cultivars were kept in an ULO store for four months and their parameters measured after two and four months. The parameters tested were: size, weight, water soluble solids, titratable acidity, glucose, fructose, sucrose, water soluble pectin, total polyphenols, free radical scavenging capacity, copper and zinc content. The fruits of ‘Conference’ and ‘Bosc’ varieties were found to contain the highest sucrose and total sugar content, while ‘Abate Fétel’ had the lowest sucrose and highest glucose levels among cultivars tested. ‘Williams’ pear was the most acidic. Brix, total sugar, sucrose and water soluble pectin were decreased during storage. Titratable acidity slightly decreased in fruits of Conference pear. Polyphenols and free radical scavenging capacity did not show a significant change during storage . Keywords: pear, storage, sugar, acid, polyphenol, antioxidant capacity Introduction from 0.187% to 0.116%, while polyphenolic compounds showed a temporary increase in the first two weeks, and a The market value of pear is determined primarily by size, slight decrease during two months, depending on weight, appearance, consistency and taste. Although many temperature. Morvai and Molnár-Perl (1992) reported the results on fruit sugars, acids and polyphenols in different growth of acids (including ascorbic), sugars and sorbitol cultivars has been published, there are few studies on change during storage of Bosc pear, but the duration and of composition of pear during storage ( Morvai & Molnár- circumstances are not known. Perl , 1992, Elgar et al ., 1997). Data on cultivars grown in our country are mainly available in Hungarian. Our aim was to fill this gap. Materials and methods According to literature data shown in Table 1 the main sugars of pear are fructose, glucose and sucrose. The values Materials are given for 1 kg fresh weight.

Main organic acids are malic and citric, presumed, which seems to be proven by the way and extent with shikimic and fumaric existing as minor compounds. of tree dying. The average yield in 2008 was 12.6 kg/tree. Pear needs suitable post-harvest storage to assure a good ‘Abate Fètel’ is characterised with a very weak fertility, thus transportability and distribution. Elgar et al.

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 12/2/2013 GAIN Report Number: RSATO1319 Russian Federation Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual Demand for Apples Grow but Stays Flat for Pears and Grapes Approved By: Erik W. Hansen Prepared By: Svetlana Ilyina & Erik W. Hansen Report Highlights: Russia is the largest global importer of apples and pears. In marketing year (MY) 2013, Russian imports of apples are expected to grow slightly while imports of pears and grapes are forecast to remain flat. Post forecasts apple production at 1.2 million metric tons (MMT) in MY 13, down 5 percent than the previous year. Commercial pear production in MY 13 is forecast to remain flat compared to the previous year. The Russian government has allocated funds devoted to horticulture development including: partial reimbursement for new orchard planting and for old orchard removal, cultivation development, financial support for research in new varieties and seed breeding. Executive Summary: Russia is the largest global importer of apples and pears. In marketing year (MY) 2013, Russian imports of apples are expected to grow slightly while imports of pears and grapes are forecast to remain flat. Post forecasts apple production at 1.2 million metric tons (MMT) in MY 13, down 5 percent than the previous year. More than 60 percent of the apple crop in Russia is cultivated by the households for personal consumption or sales within the season in outdoor markets. In 2013, the average apple yield per hectare in Russia was around 6.9 tons per ha attributed mainly to low yields in older orchards which make up 70 percent of total area planted according to some industry estimates.

BY G.E. BURGER Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agriculture at the University of Stellenbosch. South Africa December 2004 SUPERVISOR Dr M. Huysamer – Department of Horticultural Science, University of Stellenbosch. CO-SUPERVISOR Prof G. Jacobs – Department of Horticultural Science, University of Stellenbosch. DECLARATION I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original work and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it at any university for a degree. _____________________________ ______________________ Signature Date i SUMMARY Shrivelling and friction discolouration (FD), as postharvest disorders, negatively influence the marketability and potential shelf life of pears. By investigating the contributing factors in each of the disorders, the potential involvement of handling and storage variables were determined. This allowed for a better understanding of the responsible factors that create susceptible environments for these disorders to occur. From the moment that pears are harvested they lose weight by means of transpiration and, to a lesser extent, respiration. When excessive losses are experienced, the fruit will appear shrivelled and the marketability and shelf life are negatively influenced. By minimizing the rates of weight loss, the occurrence of shrivelling among pears during the postharvest handling can be lessened. The periods that proved to be most conducive to shrivelling (during a simulated postharvest handling duration) were where temperatures above 0 °C were experienced.

  • Summary of the 2002 Pacific Northwest of USA Pear Rootstock Trials: Performance of 'D'anjou' and 'Golden Russet Bosc' Pear on Eight Pyrus Rootstocks Todd C
    80 JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY Journal of the American Pomological Society 67(2): 80-88 2013 Summary of the 2002 Pacific Northwest of USA Pear Rootstock Trials: Performance of 'd'Anjou' and 'Golden Russet Bosc' Pear on Eight Pyrus Rootstocks TODD C. EINHORN1,4, STEVE CASTAGNOLI1, TIMOTHY J. SMITH2, JANET TURNER1, AND EUGENE MEILKE3 Additional index words: yield, yield efficiency, tree size, fruit size, suckering, precocity, tree survival Abstract In 2002, a multi-site pear rootstock trial was established to evaluate ‘d’Anjou’ and ‘Golden Russet Bosc’ pear (Pyrus communis L.) performance on eight Pyrus rootstocks in the Pacific northwestern US states of Oregon and Washington. The plantings were conducted under the multi-state cooperative research project NC-140. Root- stock genotypes tested at all three sites included, Fox 11 (Bologna, Italy), two clonal Old Home × Farmingdale selections (OH×F 87 and OH×F 40; US), 708-36 (East Malling, UK), and Pyrodwarf and Pyro 2-33 (Geisenheim, Germany). In addition, Fox 16 (Bologna, Italy) was evaluated at the two WA sites, and Winter Nelis seedling was evaluated at the OR site. Summarized across all sites, OH×F 87 had the highest yields and yield efficiency (YE) and the largest average fruit size; Fox 11 and 708-36 produced the smallest trees; and Pyrodwarf produced significantly low cumulative yields of smaller fruit, possessed the lowest cumulative YE, and suckered profusely (counted in OR, and visually observed in WA). In general, ‘d’Anjou’ trees were larger than ‘Golden Russet Bosc’ for a given rootstock. For the inherently vigorous cultivar ‘d’Anjou’, 708-36 produced the smallest trees followed by the Fox selections, but none of these genotypes had high YE.

Fire blight is a serious problem for apple and pear growers in the US; it is highly infectious and can kill entire trees. With growers now spending up to $20,000 per acre to establish an orchard, the risk of severe tree injury or loss from fire blight needs to be controlled. In the past, the antibiotics streptomycin and oxytetracycline have been the key fire blight con- trols used by most organic growers.

  • Produce Talk
    Produce Talk Volume 29 Issue 33 August 23, 2018 Item of the Week: PEARS Sweet, delicious and rich flavored pears offer crunchiness of apples yet juicy as peach and nectarine. They are widely popular, particularly in the whole of the northern hemisphere, for their unique nutrient qualities. Most North American pears are grown in Oregon and Washington, and the harvest months listed here reflect that. You can find some variety of pear in season in North America from August through May (and even into June some years). Externally, its skin is very thin; and depending upon the cultivar type, it can be green, red-orange or yellow-orange in color. Inside, its off-white color flesh is soft and juicy. However, in the case of completely ripe fruits, its flesh may turn to grainy texture with gritty sensation while cutting with a knife. The center of the fruit is more or less similar to an apple in appearance with centrally located tiny inedible seeds. Health Benefits of Pears Pears fruit is packed with health benefiting nutrients such as dietary fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins, which are necessary for optimum health. Total measured antioxidant strength (ORAC value) in pears is 2941 µmol TE/100 g. Pears are a good source of dietary fiber. 100 g fruit provides 3.1 g or 8% of fiber per 100 g. Regular eating of this fruit may offer protection against colon cancer. Most of the fiber in them is a non-soluble polysaccharide (NSP), which functions as a good bulk laxative in the gut. Additionally, its gritty fiber content binds to cancer- causing toxins and chemicals in the colon, protecting its mucous membrane from contact with these compounds.

  • Phenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Capacity of Pear As Affected by Rootstock and Cultivar
    MITTEILUNGEN KLOSTERNEUBURG 70 (2020): 308-319 MILOŠEVIĆ et al. PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS AND ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY OF PEAR AS AFFECTED BY ROOTSTOCK AND CULTIVAR Tomo Milošević1, Nebojša Milošević2 and Pavle Mašković3 1 Department of Fruit Growing and Viticulture, Faculty of Agronomy, University of Kragujevac RS- 32000 Čačak, Cara Dušana 34 2 Department of Pomology and Fruit Breeding, Fruit Research Institute Čačak RS-32000 Čačak, Kralja Petra I/9 3 Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Agronomy, University of Kragujevac RS-32000 Čačak, Cara Dušana 34 E-Mail: [email protected] During two consecutive years we investigated the influence of two traditional quince rootstocks and three commer- cial pear cultivars on the phenolic compounds content and the antioxidant capacity in whole fruit. Results showed that the impact of rootstocks was lesser than the impact of cultivars. Quince BA.29 showed the higher vitamin C content, total antioxidant capacity, condensed tannins and gallotannins, whereas quince MA induced better values of inhibitory activity against lipid peroxidation and metal chelating activity. 'Abbé Fétel' on both rootstocks was the cultivar with the highest vitamin C and total anthocyanin content (TAc), total phenolic (TPC) and total flavonoids contens (TFC), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), condensed tannins and gallotannins in comparison with 'Starking Delicious' and 'Beurré Bosc'. Values of DPPH scavenging activity, inhibitory activity against lipid peroxidation, me- tal chelating activity and hydroxyl radical scavenging activity were statistically similar and higher in both ‘Starking Delicious’ and ‘Beurré Bosc’ in relation to ‘Abbé Fétel’, i. e. they had a lower antioxidant capacity than 'Abbé Fétel'. Keywords: anthocyanins, bioactive compounds, DPPH scavenging activity, fruit, Pyrus communis L., vitamin C Einfluss von Unterlage und Sorte auf Phenolgehalte und antioxidative Kapazität von Birnen.
