Evaluation of fresh juice of strawberries at different degrees of ripeness using electronic nose and electronic tongue by GAO Li-ping, WANG Jun, CUI Shao-qing

“…At present, research in fresh fruit juice using e-nose and e-tongue is still in the preliminary stage, and they have not been found in the fresh strawberry juice evaluation.In this study, an e-nose and an e-tongue were employed to detect the fresh juice of strawberries at different degrees of ripeness. Data were analyzed with three pattern recognition techniques: principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and partial least square (PLS).The results showed that the fresh juice of strawberries at different degrees of ripeness could well be discriminated by PCA and LDA, and the result from e-tongue and e-nose was proved to be superior to that of e-nose only for classifying the samples. …”

Effect of different ameliorants on coastal saline-alkali soil in eastern Zhejiang under elution conditions by XIANG Zichen, XIU Haifeng, MA Kun, YANG Shaona, ZHONG Bin, MA Jiawei, RUAN Zebin, JIN Wenhao, CAO Han, LI Yaqian, JIN Gaoqi, LUO Wenxuan, LIU Dan

“…The EC decreased by 93.75% and 84.72% compared with the CK, and the salinity decreased by 55.44% and 44.04% compared with the CK. 2) Soil sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) decreased when the ameliorants were added, among which the 2% coal cinder, 2% polymaleic anhydride, 1.5% calcium superphosphate had the most significant improvement effect. 3) Soil chemical properties and fertility could be improved by the 2% calcium superphosphate, 2% biochar, 2% polymaleic anhydride. 4) Different ameliorants had different leaching efficiencies for salt-based cations: 1% and 1.5% calcium superphosphate could significantly reduce potassium, calcium and magnesium ion contents in the soil, respectively; 1% coal cinder had the best effect on sodium and potassium ion contents in the leaching soil; 1.5% and 2% biochars significantly reduced sodium and magnesium ion contents in the soil, respectively; and 1% and 2% polymaleic anhydride significantly reduced sodium and calcium, magnesium ion contents in the soil, respectively. …”
