Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Joseph Arul mostly deals with Botrytis cinerea, Horticulture, Botany, Chitosan and Ripening. He combines subjects such as Microbiology, Moho, Rosaceae, Chitin and Pepper with his study of Botrytis cinerea. His work in Horticulture addresses issues such as Respiration rate, which are connected to fields such as Ethylene and Coating.

His work investigates the relationship between Botany and topics such as Fruits and vegetables that intersect with problems in Legume. Joseph Arul has researched Chitosan in several fields, including Ionic strength, Food science, Titratable acid and Osmometer. His research ties Biochemistry and Ripening together.

His most cited work include:

  • Antifungal activity of chitosan on two postharvest pathogens of strawberry fruits. (411 citations)
  • Chitosan Coating Effect on Storability and Quality of Fresh Strawberries (407 citations)
  • Suitability of Plastic Films for Modified Atmosphere Packaging of Fruits and Vegetables (246 citations)

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

Joseph Arul focuses on Horticulture, Botany, Chitosan, Food science and Postharvest. His work in the fields of Horticulture, such as Botrytis cinerea and Ripening, overlaps with other areas such as Plant disease resistance. His studies examine the connections between Botrytis cinerea and genetics, as well as such issues in Moho, with regards to Rosaceae.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Botany, Sodium benzoate are connected with Sodium metabisulfite and other disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Size-exclusion chromatography, Chromatography, Polymer chemistry and Nuclear chemistry in addition to Chitosan. Joseph Arul focuses mostly in the field of Postharvest, narrowing it down to matters related to Shelf life and, in some cases, Titratable acid.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (29.58%)
  • Botany (29.58%)
  • Chitosan (17.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Botany (29.58%)
  • Horticulture (29.58%)
  • Food science (16.90%)

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

Joseph Arul spends much of his time researching Botany, Horticulture, Food science, Organic chemistry and Ripening. Joseph Arul has included themes like Pigment, Sodium benzoate and Polysaccharide in his Botany study. His studies in Horticulture integrate themes in fields like Sugar and Brix.

The concepts of his Food science study are interwoven with issues in Pectobacterium atrosepticum and Postharvest. His Postharvest study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Phenols, Glutathione and Cysteine. His Ripening research incorporates themes from Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Phytochemical, Lycopene and Chlorophyll.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Physiological basis of UV-C induced resistance to Botrytis cinerea in tomato fruit. V. Constitutive defence enzymes and inducible pathogenesis-related proteins. (81 citations)
  • Fragmentation of Chitosan by Acids (34 citations)
  • Effect of water activity on the production of volatile organic compounds by Muscodor albus and their effect on three pathogens in stored potato (34 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Botany, Food science, Postharvest, Biochemistry and Sodium benzoate are his primary areas of study. Botany and Inorganic salts are two areas of study in which Joseph Arul engages in interdisciplinary work. His studies in Food science integrate themes in fields like Superoxide dismutase, Tropical agriculture, Terpene, Salt and Apiaceae.

The Postharvest study combines topics in areas such as Phenols, Glutathione and Cysteine. He combines subjects such as Botrytis cinerea and Ripening with his study of Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Sodium benzoate brings together such families of science as Sodium metabisulfite and Fusarium solani, Horticulture.
