OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of storage on expressed colostrum kept at room and refrigeration temperature in 2 different types of containers (steel and plastic) at different time intervals (0 hours to 7 hours). DESIGN Prospective immunological study. SETTING Maternity ward. METHODS Colostrum was collected from 60 healthy lactating mothers and tested for total and differential cell coun...

in this research, kiwifruits (hayward) were selected in two mass ranges (large and small). they were placed in one-liter glass bottles in the vicinity of the polyethylene sachets containing potassium permanganate nano-zeolite (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g) and were stored in a germinator (5°c temperature and 30% relative humidity). then, the physicochemical properties of the fruits (soluble solid cont...

Storage of botanical extracts reduced the effectiveness on radial growth Fusarium oxysporum but enhances in case Modified Panchagavya (MPG). The mean F. at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days storage were 38.83, 42.68, 46.61, 51.07, 56.04 60.73 per cent respectively. Garlic extract showed no 0 day 10.00 mm was observed two period which increased with an increase time highest 52.50 69.84 inhibition period...

 Microbiological, chemical and sensory changes of fish burgers prepared from deep flounder (Pseudorhombus elevatus) and brushtooth lizardfish (Saurida undosquamis) were determined during storage at -18ºC for 5 months. Microbiological counts were including total plate count (TPC), total coliform (TC), Staphylococcus aureus, Psychotropic and Escherichia coli decreased throughout the frozen storag...

apricot is climacteric and its ripening process is regulated by ethylene, therefore, inhibiting ethylene biosynthesis or action should slow the ripening process. this study was conducted to decrease materials losses and increase storage life of fruit by proper packaging. different packaging (polyethylene film, polyethylene film with ethylene absorbent, shrink pack and control) were used. after ...

BACKGROUND Therapeutic storage of platelet concentrate is a challenging problem for Transfusion Medicine, so that many studies have been carried out with the aim of improving the duration of storage of platelet concentrates. Little attention, however, has been given to the most appropriate biochemical methods for evaluating the quality of the stored platelet concentrates. MATERIAL AND METHODS...

in this experiment, effects of three polyamines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) on postharvest life of plum fruit cv. ’shablon‘were studied. fruit was dipped in solution of polyamines with 1 and 2 mm and distilled water (control) for 5 min in a cold storage at 1.5±0.5°c and 80-85% rh. experiment was conducted in a factorial with a complete randomized design with 7 treatments and 6 storage...
