  • Postharvest Biology and Technology

    • ISSN: 0925-5214
    Postharvest Biology and Technology is devoted exclusively to the publication of original papers, review articles and frontiers articles on biological and technological postharvest research of horticultural crops including fruit, vegetables, grapes, flowers, tea and nuts, but excluding grains, seeds, forages and spices.All aspects of postharvest research throughout the supply chain will be considered, including storage technologies, treatments and underpinning mechanisms, quality evaluation, packaging, handling, and distribution.The following research areas will be considered if they directly affect postharvest science: preharvest factors, ripening and senescence, product safety, systems biology, bioinformatics, entomology, plant physiology, plant pathology, (bio)chemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, engineering, modelling, economics, and technology development.Manuscri... on the effect of treatments on the storage life of a product should have a mechanistic component and must include research on the physiological effects and working principles of the treatments. Manuscripts that report on technological development must be related to the biological processes of the product and should include a strong relationship with postharvest biology and technology. These studies should also demonstrate robustness of use, with exploration of limiting factors, typically through assessments using populations from different growing or storage conditions, seasons, cultivars, etc. Manuscripts reporting novel fundamental and interdisciplinary research that addresses biological, technological, and socio-economic issues that impact technology acceptance, are encouraged.The focus of this journal is on fresh horticultural products. Manuscripts on products that will be further processed after postharvest storage, or on treatments beyond refrigeration, packaging and minimal processing will be considered but only if linked strongly to the quality and provenance of the products at the time of harvest.

  • Journal of Applied Research on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

    • ISSN: 2214-7861
    JARMAP is a peer reviewed and multidisciplinary communication platform, covering all aspects of the raw material supply chain of medicinal and aromatic plants. JARMAP aims to improve production of tailor made commodities by addressing the various requirements of manufacturers of herbal medicines, herbal teas, seasoning herbs, food and feed supplements and cosmetics. JARMAP covers research on genetic resources, breeding, molecular biology, wild-collection, conservation, domestication, propagation, cultivation, physiology, phytopathology and plant protection, mechanization, postharvest processing, drying, storage, extraction, quality assurance, analytics and economics. JARMAP publishes reviews, original research articles and short communications related to research.The following are examples of research that fits within the scope of the journal: All research along the primary production chain of medicinal and aromatic plants raw material and semi-finished products for herbal medicines, herbal teas, seasoning herbs, food and feed supplements and cosmeticsPlant genetic resources, breeding research including conventional and biotechnological methods, variety testingGenerative and vegetative propagation including artificial seedsWild collection and domesticationSources of variation: environment, genetic, morphogenetic, ontogenetic, diurnalCultivation: climatic demands, crop rotation, tilling, fertilization, planting, irrigation, phytopathology, plant protection, mechanization, harvesting, organic cultivationPost harvest processing: drying, separating, cleaning, distillation, extraction, decontamination, storing, tailoring, packagingQuality: authentication, quality management systems and methods of quality determinationEconomi... market survey, business studies, profitabilityMinimal requirements: Vegetation experiments require two or better three repetitions (at different locations or time-shifted at the same location), populations should be characterized by at least 10 individuals, the concentration of chemical compounds and the yield of plant material must be given based on dry matter, all claims must be supported by appropriate statistical proofs.Examples of research not in the scope of the journal:Chemical profiling of a speciesPharmacologyT... activityEthnobotanyC... cultureMicropropagat...
