Effect of doping natural zeolite with copper and zinc cations on ethylene removal and postharvest tomato fruit quality

De Bruijn, Johannes; Gomez, Ambar; Melin, Pedro; Loyola, Cristina; Solar, Victor; Valdes, Hector (2019)

Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.), one of the most consumed vegetables worldwide, are climacteric fruit in which ripening is accompanied by quickly increased respiration and ethylene production. Ethylene stimulates ripening ...
Ethylene adsorption onto natural and transition metal modified Chilean zeolite: An operando DRIFTS approach

Abreu, Norberto J.; Valdes, Hector; Zaror, Claudio A.; Azzolina Jury, Federico; Melendrez, Manuel F. (2019)

Abstract Ethylene is a plant growth regulator that induces accelerated softening and ripening of fruits during transport and storage. Among the most applied methods for ethylene control, adsorption appears as a cheap and ...
Quantum size effect and visible light activity of anatase nanosheet quantum dots

Vorontsov, Alexander V.; Valdes, Hector (2019-06-15)

Anatase (001)nanosheets have recently attracted great attention as very active catalysts and photocatalysts. These graphene analogs have very high surface area and unique surface properties. In the present paper, very thin ...
