Two probiotic bacteria (Lb. acidophilus and B. lactis) were immobilized on the alginate coat of strawberry pieces and were added to the prepared sweet non fat dietary stirred yogurt. Physico-chemical parameters namely pH value, titratable acidity and synersis along with the viability of probiotic bacteria of the samples were evaluated over the 8 days of storage at 5 ºC at 2 day intervals. A sig...

Standard methods for determining quality and maturity are time- and labor-consuming and generally measure individual criteria at a specific time, without considering relationships among quality parameters. To propose a rapid and nondestructive analysis method describing multidimensional quality variables, an experiment was undertaken with mature green to overripe tomato fruits found on the Nort...

A comparative study was conducted to evaluate precision and accuracy in controlling the temperature dependence of encapsulated microbial time-temperature integrators (TTIs) developed using two different emulsification techniques. Weissela cibaria CIFP 009 cells, immobilized within 2% Na-alginate gel microbeads using homogenization (5,000, 7,000, and 10,000 rpm) and Shirasu porous glass (SPG) me...

‘In-store’ consumer acceptance tests were performed on a group of 400 American consumers and 250 native Chinese consumers to determine the relationship between ripe soluble solids concentration (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA) on consumer acceptance of ‘Redglobe’ grapes for different ethnic groups. For this, a group of Caucasian, Hispanic and Chinese-American consumers and a group of native Ch...

Organic strawberry fruits (Cv. 'Albion') were harvested at six different ripening stages and evaluated for physical and chemical parameters. Biometrical characteristics and moisture content did not change significantly during ripening. Total soluble solids, pH and colour development increased while titratable acidity and fruit firmness decreased 14.7% and 91%, respectively. Fructose, glucose, a...

Adding functional ingredients is an important method to develop dairy products. Mulberry pomace (MPo), a byproduct of mulberry fruit processing, rich in phenolic compounds and anthocyanins can be served as the ingredient The aim this work was prepare flavored yogurt by incorporating MPo into stirred investigate effects on physicochemical textural properties product during cold storage. We suppl...

Apple cultivars exhibit significant diversity in fruit quality traits, creating distinct consumption scenarios. This study aimed to assess the physicochemical parameters and sensory attributes differences among fifteen apple identify characteristic qualities suitable for various processed products using chemometric analysis. Relatively large were registered between deflection, peel color, titra...

A highly significant effect (p<0.05) of storage period on physico-chemical characteristics and sensory parameters of Apricot fruit produced in Rawalakot areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir was investigated at ambient temperature (Relative humidity 60-63% and temperature 28-30 C). The physicoo chemical characteristics such as weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and s...

This study evaluated the effects of four different gibberellin-pastes (GAP) on fruit quality and storability niitaka pear in 2014 2015 consecutive years. Pear stalks were treated with dongbu GA gold, nebaekeo, busa, hyeophwa-pastes at 35 37 days after full bloom, respectively. After harvest time, fruits stored 0°C for up to 180 days. In both years, weight was 6.2-21.3% higher GAP-treated than c...
