The quality of fruit targeted for human consumption is affected greatly by the methods used in processing. The objective of this study was to assess a method of treating cantaloupe melons to reduce the wound responses incurred by cutting while maintaining fruit quality. After being treated with an alternating magnetic field (AMF) at the strength of 2mT for 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 25 min, Cucumis m...

Banana, an important component in the diet of the global population, is one of the most consumed fruits in the world. This fruit is also very favorable to industry processes (e.g., fermented beverages) due to its rich content on soluble solids and minerals, with low acidity. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of factors such as banana weight and extraction time during...

Noni juice processing industry depends explicitly on the quality of noni fruits and its together with increased production fruits. This study evaluated effects chemical treatments noni's fruiting capacity, fruit yield antioxidant properties. plants in stage were foliar fed boric acid (BA) at a concentration 100 ppm or 200 ppm, gibberellic (GA3) 20 40 sucrose solution 5 20% water (control). Chan...

 This research was aimed to determine the effect of starter and sugar concentration on characteristics ginger wine optimal obtain best wine. study used a Completely Randomized Design with two factors. The first factor namely: 10, 15, 20% (v/v), second concentration, 20, 25, 30% (w/v). parameter tested were alcohol (ethanol) level, reducing sugar, total acid, acidity (pH), soluble solid, a...

Solids removal often is the first parameter evaluated when testing the effectiveness of stormwater treatment devices. Therefore, it is imperative that the sources and magnitude of potential errors associated with each stage of sampling and measurement be understood and quantified. The following research examined the errors associated with the analysis of solids from collection via an automatic ...

Recently, non-destructive techniques such as the Vis / NIR spectroscopy have been used to evaluate the characteristics of maturation and quality of pears. The study aims to validate the readings by the Vis / NIR spectroscopy as a non-destructive way to assess the qualitative characteristics of pear cultivars 'Williams', 'Packams' and 'Carrick', produced according to Brazilian conditions. The ex...

The aim of this study was the increasing of leachate quality using integrated membrane bioreactor (MBR). The reactor was fed with treated leachate with overall 70-1360 mg/l chemical oxygen demand (COD). The analysis of COD, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), total suspended solids (TSS), and total dissolved solids (TDS) were performed in feed and filtrate, whenever the system reached steady stat...
