“…According to [17] the browning may be caused by the buildup of flavins and other phenolic compounds in floral cell vacuoles. Tuberose flower buds treated with 4% boric acid were found to be best with regard to maximum shelf life [18,19].…”

The objective of this experiment was to optimize the post-harvest handling techniques for four Ixora genotypes grown for loose flower purpose. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Completely Randomised Design (FCRD) with four genotypes namely viz., Red (Ixora casei-G1), Pink (I. chinensis-G2), Orange (I. coccinea-G3) and Yellow (I. chinensis-G4) and six post-harvest treatments replicated three times. Observations were made on the floral quality criteria as well as the physiological characters linked with flower post-harvest quality. The results revealed that among the genotypes, Red (I. casei-G1) proved superior with respect to quality parameters and physiological parameters followed by Pink (I. chinensis-G2). Among the post-harvest treatments, treating flower buds with 4% boric acid and storage under refrigeration @ 50C recorded superior results for all the quality parameters viz., freshness index, flower opening index, colour retention and shelf life and the physiological parameters viz., moisture content, relative water content and physiological loss in weight.

“…Chemical food dyes such as tatrazine, briliant blue, sunset yellow, carmoisine are used for tinting of flowers . Certified synthetic food dyes are less expensive and lead to minimum health hazards by imparting an intense and uniform colour ( Jain et al, 2015). Flowers coloured with food dyes intensify the visual appearance as well as enhance the economic value (Kashyap et al, 2022).…”

“…Gladiolus tinted at tight bud stage (1-2 basal florets show colour) by food dyes showed the higher vase life (Kumar et al, 2014). In tuberose many tinting experiments have been conducted Pavan et al, 2022;Jain et al, 2015;Kashyap et al, 2022). Chrysanthemum, tuberose and lilium tinted with blue, green and orange dyes for 10 hrs resulted in attractive flowers with maximum consumer preference (Pavan et al, 2022).…”

–Value addition is a method of increasing the economic value of a product. Different value addition techniques are used in horticultural products to increase its economic value, especially in floricultural products. Tinting is one of the value addition techniques used in cut flowers to increase the economic and aesthetic value of simple white and light coloured flowers with food colouring dyes in different novel colour shades. The study “Value addition of cut flowers of garland chrysanthemum (Glebionis coronaria) by tinting with artificial food dyes” was conducted in laboratory of Department of Horticulture, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam during February 2022, with seven treatments. The observations like Time taken for tinting, Solution uptake, Colour intensity, Aesthetic appeal and vase life were recorded. Colour intensity of the tinted flower colour was compared using the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart. Chocolate food colour dye took the earliest time for full tinting (2.43 hr) and Raspberry red took the longest time for full tinting (3.10 hr). The most aesthetically appealing colours were observed on flowers tinted with Lemon yellow, Apple green and Raspberry red. Longest vase life was observed in control (7.6 days) followed by Lemon yellow (4.3 days). Chocolate and Green observed the lowest vase life (2 days). Cut flowers dyed with Lemon yellow recorded the best vase life among the different food dyes.

The tuberose, Agave amica, is an ornamental plant appreciated for its oils. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of planting dates (April, May and June), dose of NPK (N80-P60-K40, N300-P200-K200, N100-P50-K50 and N00-P00-K00), and fertilizer sources (chemical, organic, combined and control) on tuberose production, flower quality and postharvest shelf life. The physiological variables spike characteristics, leaf color, biomass, and postharvest flower quality were evaluated. The results show that the best planting date is in June; plants planted in June flowered earlier (156 days) and had better flower quality. The fertilization formula N300-P200-K200 produced a higher number of spikes (1.32) and flowers (38.93), a larger stem diameter (0.9 cm), and promoted fewer days to flowering (188d). Plants fertilized with chemical fertilizer had fewer yellow leaves, a larger number of spikes (1.41), a longer spike length (26.89 cm), and a higher number of flowers/spikes (39.28), corms/plants (31.03), and open flowers on the ninth day in vase (13.14) and heavier stems with spikes (134.80 g). In conclusion, the dose of N300-P200-K200 from chemical source and planting in June produced the best flower quality and the shortest production cycle.
