Jeffrey K. Brecht

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Botany
• Horticulture
• Food science

Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest, Food science and Shelf life are his primary areas of study. His Horticulture study frequently links to related topics such as 1-Methylcyclopropene. Jeffrey K. Brecht interconnects Quality, Softening and Antioxidant in the investigation of issues within Botany.

His Postharvest research focuses on Fruits and vegetables and how it relates to Vegetable crops. His research investigates the connection with Shelf life and areas like Respiration which intersect with concerns in Environmental engineering. His Ripening research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mangifera and Titratable acid.

His most cited work include:

• Modelling respiration rate of fresh fruits and vegetables for modified atmosphere packages: a review (458 citations)
• Physiology of lightly processed fruits and vegetables (395 citations)
• Effect of two edible coatings with different permeability characteristics on mango (Mangifera indica L.) ripening during storage (204 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Horticulture, Postharvest, Botany, Ripening and Cultivar. He works mostly in the field of Horticulture, limiting it down to concerns involving Shelf life and, occasionally, Respiration rate. His Postharvest research incorporates themes from Quality, Atmosphere, Food science, Lycopene and Agronomy.

He regularly links together related areas like Food preservation in his Botany studies. His work carried out in the field of Ripening brings together such families of science as Water treatment, Flavor and Lycopersicon. Jeffrey K. Brecht interconnects Ripeness and Soluble solids in the investigation of issues within Titratable acid.

He most often published in these fields:

• Horticulture (60.00%)
• Postharvest (26.80%)
• Botany (19.20%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

• Horticulture (60.00%)
• Postharvest (26.80%)
• Cultivar (13.20%)

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

Jeffrey K. Brecht focuses on Horticulture, Postharvest, Cultivar, Modified atmosphere and Quality. In most of his Horticulture studies, his work intersects topics such as Aroma. His study in Postharvest is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atmosphere, Food science, Shelf life, Mango fruit and Agricultural engineering.

The Cultivar study combines topics in areas such as Pulp, Softening and Pruning. The various areas that Jeffrey K. Brecht examines in his Modified atmosphere study include Waste management and Pulp and paper industry. His biological study deals with issues like Toxicology, which deal with fields such as Electrolyte leakage.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Pre-harvest application of oxalic acid increases quality and resistance to Penicillium expansum in kiwifruit during postharvest storage. (48 citations)
• Inhibition of Enzymatic Browning of Fresh‐Cut Potato by Immersion in Citric Acid is Not Solely Due to pH Reduction of the Solution (17 citations)
• Nutritional Quality of Field-grown Tomato Fruit as Affected by Grafting with Interspecific Hybrid Rootstocks (15 citations)

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

• Botany
• Horticulture
• Biochemistry

His main research concerns Horticulture, Postharvest, Modified atmosphere, Rootstock and Agronomy. His work on Ripening, Titratable acid and Peach orchard is typically connected to Subtropics and Tree as part of general Horticulture study, connecting several disciplines of science. His Ripening research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Reactive oxygen species and Respiration rate.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Oxygen radical absorbance capacity, Mango fruit, Ferric reducing ability of plasma and Food quality. Within one scientific family, Jeffrey K. Brecht focuses on topics pertaining to Waste management under Modified atmosphere, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Controlled atmosphere, Beneficial effects and By-product. The study incorporates disciplines such as Penicillium expansum, Oxalic acid, Penicillium and Actinidia deliciosa in addition to Agronomy.
