Ice or an Ice-replacement Agent does Not Improve Refrigerated Broccoli Storage at 1C

Does Europa's ice hide an ocean?

The Goldilocks dilemma: big ice, little ice, or ‘‘just-right’’ ice in the Eastern Canadian Arctic

Our conceptions of the NE sector of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) have evolved through three major paradigms over the past 50 years. Until the late 1960s the conventional view was that the Eastern Canadian Arctic preserved only a simple deglacial sequence from a LIS margin everywhere at the continental shelf edge (Flint Paradigm). Glacial geologic field studie...

Effects of genistein on melanosis and microbial quality of Litopenaeus vannamei during ice storage

Utilization of genistein as a natural inhibitor was studied alone and in combination with conventional treatments on melanosis and microbial quality of fresh L. vannamei during 10 days ice storage. Treatments were as followed: A (dipping samples in distilled water), B (dipping in 1.25 % sodium metabisulphite solution), C (dipping in 0.01 % genistein + 2% glycerol solution), D (dipping in 0.1 % ...

Effective of rosemary extract on lipid quality of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) during ice storage

The objective of study was to determine the effects of added rosemary extract on increasing shelf-life and quality of meat in silver carp during ice storage. Fishes dipped in a solution prepared of rosemary extract (200 and 600 ppm) for 90 minutes and then were icing. Chemical and Enzymatic index includes total volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid, peroxide value were measured and compa...

Production of Ice Nucleation Deficient (Ice-) Mutants of the Epiphytic Strains of Erwinia herbicola

To mutate the Ice Nucleation Active (INA) gene in Erwinia herbicola strains, Tn-5 transposon carried by Psup2021 plasmid was used. This plasmid was transferred to the bacterial cells by electroporation. Electrotransformation was carried out for 2.5 ms at 1800 v and 1 mm distance between the electrodes. Polymerase chain reaction was used for determination of presence or loss of INA gene, using a...
