Hot air treatment delays senescence and maintains quality of fresh-cut broccoli florets during refrigerated storage

A postharvest treatment with hot air (48 C during 3 h) was applied to fresh-cut broccoli to investigate its effect on quality and senescence during storage at 0 C. The treatment delayed yellowing as evidenced by lower decrease of Hue values during storage. After 21 days of storage, treated broccoli had chlorophyll content approximately 40% higher than controls. The treatment did not affect eith...

Free radical-scavenging phytochemicals of hot water extracts of Acacia confusa leaves detected by an on-line screening method

Acacia confusaMerr. (Leguminosae), a species native to Taiwan, is widely distributed on the hills and lowlands of Taiwan, and has been traditionally used as a medicine. In this study, phytochemicals and antioxidant activities of hot water extracts from A. confusa leaves were investigated for the first time. Among all the fractions from hot water extracts of leaves, the EtOAc-soluble fraction ex...

Water Temperature From Hot Water Outlets in a Major Public Hospital: How Hot is Our Water?

OBJECTIVES To measure the water temperature issuing from a representative sample of patient-accessible outlets around the Royal Adelaide Hospital. To initiate an audit cycle in the event of unacceptably high water temperatures to ensure their reduction. METHODS Samples were taken of water issuing from hot taps, showers, and hand hygiene basins in patient areas throughout the hospital, encompa...
