Spray drying is a process widely used to produce fruit juice powders. In powders, it results with the good quality, low water activity, easier transport and storage. The physicochemical properties of powders produced by spray drying depend on the variables of process and/or operating parameters. In the present review, the principle of spray drying was described. In addition, some factors such a...

Phytochemicals are recognized as playing an important role in cancer prevention by fruits and vegetables. The avocado is a widely grown and consumed fruit that is high in nutrients and low in calories, sodium, and fats. Studies have shown that phytochemicals extracted from the avocado fruit selectively induce cell cycle arrest, inhibit growth, and induce apoptosis in precancerous and cancer cel...

Fruit physiology is strongly affected by both fruit temperature and water losses through transpiration. Fruit temperature and its transpiration vary with environmental factors and fruit characteristics. In line with previous studies, measurements of physical and thermal fruit properties were found to significantly vary between fruit tissues and maturity stages. To study the impact of these vari...

The objective of this research work was to characterize and identify multipattern clonal grafts with morphological, physicochemical,and health characteristics obtain good yields fruit pulp quality in soursop populations. descriptor list for soursop, recommended by CORPOICA, used the plants. For quantitative qualitative morphological characterization fruit, statistical software InfoStat used, de...

due to environmental risks generated by application of non-degradable and synthetic films, many researches have shown increasing tendency to edible coatings for storing food such as fruits and vegetables. whey protein is considered one of the most common sources of edible coatings and its use has been studied in the current research. in this paper, the simultaneous effect of coating with whey p...

Introduction: To establish the pharmacognostical and phytochemical standardization parameters of Pyrus pashia fruits in order to ensure quality and safety of this traditionally acclaimed medicinal tree. Methods: The fresh fruits of P. pashia were collected and dried. Fruit was subjected to various pharmacognostical investigations, Extraction procedures, and preliminary phytochemical screening, ...
