Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Horticulture

Zora Singh spends much of her time researching Ripening, Horticulture, Botany, Postharvest and Aroma. Her Ripening study spans across into fields like Climacteric and Ascorbic acid. Her study looks at the relationship between Horticulture and topics such as Ethephon, which overlap with Flame ionization detector.

Her work in the fields of Respiration rate and Fragaria overlaps with other areas such as Pulp. Her Postharvest research focuses on Biotechnology and how it relates to Shelf life, Pest infestation and Cultivar. Zora Singh interconnects Gas chromatography, Mangifera, Anacardiaceae and Maturity in the investigation of issues within Aroma.

Her most cited work include:

  • Aroma volatiles production during fruit ripening of ‘Kensington Pride’ mango (139 citations)
  • Postharvest treatments of fresh produce. (125 citations)
  • Postharvest nitric oxide fumigation delays fruit ripening and alleviates chilling injury during cold storage of Japanese plums (Prunus salicina Lindell) (119 citations)

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

Zora Singh focuses on Horticulture, Botany, Ripening, Postharvest and Titratable acid. Zora Singh conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Horticulture and Ascorbic acid through her research. Her studies in Botany integrate themes in fields like Methyl jasmonate and Aroma.

Her Aroma study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Gas chromatography, Mango fruit and Controlled atmosphere. Zora Singh combines subjects such as Respiration rate and Sucrose with her study of Ripening. The study incorporates disciplines such as 1-Methylcyclopropene, Shelf life and Prunus salicina in addition to Postharvest.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Horticulture (80.27%)
  • Botany (44.22%)
  • Ripening (42.18%)

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

  • Horticulture (80.27%)
  • Fumigation (14.97%)
  • Ascorbic acid (17.69%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Horticulture, Fumigation, Ascorbic acid, Titratable acid and Postharvest. Her work carried out in the field of Horticulture brings together such families of science as Methyl jasmonate and 1-Methylcyclopropene. Her research integrates issues of Cultivar, Cripps Pink and Respiration in her study of Fumigation.

Her Titratable acid research focuses on Pectin and how it connects with Shelf life. The Postharvest study combines topics in areas such as Citric acid, Malic acid, Fumaric acid, Succinic acid and Vitamin C. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mangiferin, Lupeol and Mangifera.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Influence of carboxy methylcellulose, chitosan and beeswax coatings on cold storage life and quality of Kinnow mandarin fruit (18 citations)
  • Harvest maturity stage and cold storage period influence lemon fruit quality (14 citations)
  • Postharvest application of methyl jasmonate, 1-methylcyclopropene and salicylic acid extends the cold storage life and maintain the quality of ‘Kinnow’ mandarin (Citrus nobilis L. X C. deliciosa L.) fruit (13 citations)

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

  • Botany
  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry

Zora Singh mainly investigates Titratable acid, Horticulture, Postharvest, Ascorbic acid and Methyl jasmonate. Her Titratable acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pectin, Citrus nobilis, Succinic acid, Vitamin C and Malic acid. Her Horticulture research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fumaric acid and Citric acid.

Her Ascorbic acid research includes a combination of various areas of study, such as Salicylic acid and Food science. Her research in Salicylic acid intersects with topics in Ferulic acid, Vanillic acid, Chlorogenic acid and Caffeic acid. Her research investigates the connection between Methyl jasmonate and topics such as Gallic acid that intersect with issues in Lupeol, Mangiferin, Ripening, Preharvest and Mangifera.
