Winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) has been cultivated in China for a long time and has a richly abundant history, whose maturity grade determined different postharvest qualities. Traditional methods for identifying the fundamental qua...
Winter jujube is a popular fresh fruit in China for its high vitamin C nutritional value and delicious taste. In terms of winter jujube object detection, in machine learning research, small size jujube fruits could not be detected with a high accurac...
Surface soils form a major planting base of winter jujube in China were collected and detected for six heavy metals including Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb. The concentrations of Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb were 27.6 ± 6.0, 57.9 ± 12.8, 67....
The quality and color of winter jujube fruits are easy to change after harvest. We studied the regulation mechanism of propyl gallate (PG) on post-harvest physiological quality of winter jujube, from the perspective of antioxidant metabolism and peel...
Harvesting winter jujubes is a key step in production, yet traditional manual approaches are labor-intensive and inefficient. To overcome these challenges, we propose SCC-YOLO, a lightweight method for winter jujube detection, 3D localization, and cr...
Winter jujube harvesting is traditionally labor-intensive, yet declining labor availability and rising costs necessitate robotic automation to maintain agricultural competitiveness. Path planning for robotic arms in orchards faces challenges due to t...
According to the existing problems of winter jujube harvesting, such as the intensive labor of manual picking, damage to the surface of winter jujubes, a winter jujube harvesting and sorting device was developed. This device consisted of vibration me...
A homogalacturonan pectin (HG, designated as WJP-F80) was extracted from the peel of winter jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Mill. Cv. Dongzao) and separated via ethanol-graded precipitation. The structural and conformational features were elucidated through...
Achieving rapid and accurate localization of winter jujubes in trees is an indispensable step for the development of automated harvesting equipment. Unlike larger fruits such as apples, winter jujube is smaller with a higher density and serious occlu...
In this work, the potential of a hyperspectral imaging (HSI) system for the detection of black spot disease on winter jujubes infected by Alternaria alternata during postharvest storage was investigated. The HSI images were acquired using two systems...
Cold plasma (CP) is a green and efficient preservation technology, but its effect on preventing the postharvest softening of fruits and vegetables is still unclear, and the effects of different CP intensities on the postharvest softening of winter ju...
Winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) is highly popular due to its attractive taste and flavor of fruits. However, its cultivation is facing a serious obstacle for the substantial decrease in fruit soluble solids contents. In this study,...
The current sorting process for winter jujubes relies heavily on manual labor, lacks uniform sorting standards, and is inefficient. Furthermore, existing devices have simple structures and can only be sorted based on size. This paper introduces a met...
The outdoor spectral detection of winter jujube quality is affected by complex ambient light and surface heterogeneity, resulting in limited inversion accuracy. To address this problem, this study proposes a correction method for outdoor spectral inv...
Substantial agricultural waste, including winter jujube residues, pits, and sawdust, is generated during the planting and processing of winter jujubes. To recycle these wastes, they were used to cultivate Stropharia rugosoannulata. The nutrient...

In the present study, winter jujube organs including fruit, fruiting leaf and foliage leaf, and associated soils in 14 typical orchards in Binzhou City, Shandong Province, China were collected and determined for the mass fractions of Co, Ni, Cu, Zn,...
Winter jujube is highly favored by consumers, and improving both the fruit quality and yield during cultivation is a key issue in horticultural research. Fertilization is a critical measure regulating growth. This study aimed to evaluate the effects...
Background: Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors function widely in plant development, hormone signaling, and fruit ripening, but the bZIP family and its potential regulatory roles in winter jujube fruit development remain poorly charact...
The canopy temperature of winter jujube serves as a direct indicator of plant water status and transpiration efficiency, making its accurate prediction a critical prerequisite for effective water management and optimized growth conditions in greenhou...
The widespread use of pesticides poses significant risks to food and environmental safety. Imidacloprid is one of the most effective neuroactive neonicotinoid insecticides and is effective against a broad spectrum of piercing–sucking pests. A r...
The spectral information extracted from hyperspectral images is characterized by redundancy and complexity, while the spectral morphological features extracted from the spectral information help to simplify the data and provide rich information about...
This study investigates the impact of radio frequency (RF) heat treatment on heat and mass transfer during the hot air drying of jujube slices. Experiments were conducted at different drying stages, comparing single-hot air drying with hot air combin...
Biocontrol agents play a crucial role in agricultural production by reducing the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, controlling pests and diseases, and enhancing crop yield and quality. While extensive research has focused on the growth-prom...
Postharvest rot is an urgent problem affecting the storage of winter jujube. Therefore, the development of new technologies for efficient and safe preservation is very important. This study aimed to elucidate the fungal microbiota found on the epider...
