Calcium Biofortification of Apples: Implications on Fruit Quality Parameters

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

Calcium is an essential nutrient for humans, having key structural and signalling roles (Dodd et al., 2010). Likewise, biofortification of apples with Ca can be a good method to enhance human intake of Ca (Dayod et al., 2010). Considering Ca biofortification in Golden and Jonagold apple varieties, this study aims to assess the deposition of this nutrient inside the fruits, as well as the effect of Ca-sprays treatments on the related quality parameters at harvest.
