Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Horticulture

Daniel Valero mostly deals with Botany, Ripening, Postharvest, Food science and Horticulture. Daniel Valero combines subjects such as Arsenate and Food preservation with his study of Botany. As a part of the same scientific family, Daniel Valero mostly works in the field of Ripening, focusing on Shelf life and, on occasion, Aloe vera.

Daniel Valero interconnects Berry, Antioxidant and Respiration rate in the investigation of issues within Postharvest. Many of his research projects under Food science are closely connected to Ascorbic acid with Ascorbic acid, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. The Anthocyanin study combines topics in areas such as Polyphenol and Carotenoid.

His most cited work include:

  • Constitutive expression of a fruit phytoene synthase gene in transgenic tomatoes causes dwarfism by redirecting metabolites from the gibberellin pathway (311 citations)
  • Chemical constituents and antioxidant activity of sweet cherry at different ripening stages. (285 citations)
  • Postharvest sweet cherry quality and safety maintenance by Aloe vera treatment: A new edible coating (249 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Postharvest, Ripening, Food science and Botany. His studies deal with areas such as Putrescine and Antioxidant as well as Horticulture. His work carried out in the field of Postharvest brings together such families of science as Shelf life, Aloe vera and Respiration rate.

Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Carotenoid under Ripening, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Flesh. His Modified atmosphere, Browning, Thymol and Sugar study in the realm of Food science connects with subjects such as Ascorbic acid. His Botany study incorporates themes from Food preservation, Polyphenol and Arsenic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (58.71%)
  • Postharvest (50.25%)
  • Ripening (39.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Horticulture (58.71%)
  • Postharvest (50.25%)
  • Food science (33.83%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Horticulture, Postharvest, Food science, Ripening and Preharvest. His Horticulture study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Methyl salicylate, Carotenoid and Respiration rate. His Postharvest research incorporates elements of Fructose, Titratable acid and Shelf life.

Ripening is closely attributed to Crop quality in his work. His Preharvest research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Table grape, Berry and Antioxidant. His Cultivar study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Polyphenol oxidase activity and Growing season.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Blood oranges maintain bioactive compounds and nutritional quality by postharvest treatments with γ-aminobutyric acid, methyl jasmonate or methyl salicylate during cold storage (17 citations)
  • Postharvest treatments with γ‐aminobutyric acid, methyl jasmonate, or methyl salicylate enhance chilling tolerance of blood orange fruit at prolonged cold storage (17 citations)
  • Methyl jasmonate effects on table grape ripening, vine yield, berry quality and bioactive compounds depend on applied concentration (12 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Horticulture

His primary areas of study are Horticulture, Postharvest, Ripening, Methyl jasmonate and Preharvest. His research integrates issues of Antioxidant and Crop in his study of Horticulture. His work carried out in the field of Postharvest brings together such families of science as Thymol, Food science, Geotrichum and Growth inhibition.

The concepts of his Food science study are interwoven with issues in Minimum inhibitory concentration, Fungicide, Mycelium and Polyphenol oxidase. In his research on the topic of Ripening, Ziziphus jujuba and Modified atmosphere is strongly related with Carotenoid. As part of one scientific family, Daniel Valero deals mainly with the area of Anthocyanin, narrowing it down to issues related to the Aril, and often Salicylic acid and Methyl salicylate.
