Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Horticulture
  • Enzyme

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest, Fumigation and Shelf life. As a member of one scientific family, Elizabeth J. Mitcham mostly works in the field of Horticulture, focusing on Food preservation and, on occasion, Warehouse. Her work on Codling moth and Deciduous as part of general Botany study is frequently connected to Rf system and Materials science, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Her Postharvest study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Horticultural crops, Biotechnology and Environmental planning. Her Fumigation research incorporates elements of Respiratory pattern and Browning. Her Shelf life research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Quality, Food quality, Agriculture and Biochemical engineering.

Her most cited work include:

  • Plant water status as an index of irrigation need in deciduous fruit trees (233 citations)
  • Dielectric Properties of Fruits and Insect Pests as related to Radio Frequency and Microwave Treatments (218 citations)
  • Radio frequency treatments to control codling moth in in-shell walnuts (147 citations)

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

Elizabeth J. Mitcham spends much of her time researching Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest, Ripening and PEAR. Elizabeth J. Mitcham has included themes like Codling moth and Food preservation in her Horticulture study. While the research belongs to areas of Food preservation, Elizabeth J. Mitcham spends her time largely on the problem of Shelf life, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Fragaria.

Her Botany study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Browning, Calcium, Bitter pit and 1-Methylcyclopropene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Quality, Agronomy, Acetaldehyde, Juglans and Western flower thrips in addition to Postharvest. Her work deals with themes such as Cell wall, Biochemistry and Pera, which intersect with Ripening.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (71.03%)
  • Botany (42.07%)
  • Postharvest (28.97%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Horticulture (71.03%)
  • Botany (42.07%)
  • Postharvest (28.97%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest, Ripening and Food science. Elizabeth J. Mitcham is interested in Gibberellin, which is a branch of Horticulture. The Botany study which covers Abscisic acid that intersects with Apoplast and Cultivar.

Her Postharvest research includes elements of Quality, Quality assessment, Inoculation and Mango fruit. Elizabeth J. Mitcham combines subjects such as Carotenoid, Mangifera, 1-Methylcyclopropene and PEAR with her study of Ripening. Her work on Pyrus communis as part of general PEAR research is often related to Untreated control, thus linking different fields of science.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Kinetics of Food Quality Changes During Thermal Processing: a Review (94 citations)
  • Non-destructive prediction of soluble solids and dry matter content using NIR spectroscopy and its relationship with sensory quality in sweet cherries (44 citations)
  • Calcium partitioning and allocation and blossom-end rot development in tomato plants in response to whole-plant and fruit-specific abscisic acid treatments (43 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Horticulture

Her primary areas of study are Horticulture, Calcium, Food science, Ripening and Botany. Her work on Pyrus communis as part of general Horticulture study is frequently linked to Softening, bridging the gap between disciplines. In general Food science study, her work on Soluble solids and Flavor often relates to the realm of Near-infrared spectroscopy, Non destructive and Unsaturated fatty acid, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Her research integrates issues of Polysaccharide, Carotenoid, PEAR, Pectinase and Cell wall in her study of Ripening. Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Sweetness under PEAR, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Pectin. Her work on Botany is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Bitter pit.
