The maintenance of the quality and storage life of perishable fruits and vegetables is a major challenge for the food industry. In this study, the effects of different temperatures, packaging materials and storage time on the stability of capsaicinoids and antioxidants, such as total carotenoids, ascorbic acid and total phenolic compounds, were studied in three commercially cultivated hot peppe...

most of the citrus fruits, especially in north of iran are stored in common storages. this experimen in oder to persevere appearance and internal fruit quality were conducted in the citrus research station at 1392, britex-ti wax, storage wax, polyethlene bag (individual fruit), polyethlene bag (pair fruits) were used alone and with combination with methyl salicylate (mesa) vs. control (without ...

Reduction of a matrix to triangular form plays a crucial role in the solution of linear equations. In this chapter, I analyze a pipeline algorithm for Householder reduction (Brinch Hansen 1990). The pipeline is folded several times across an array of processors to achieve approximate load balancing. The pipeline inputs, transforms, and outputs a matrix, column by column. During the computation,...

Background: Sohan is an Iranian traditional brittle confection which its ingredients are susceptible to oxidation and microbial contamination during storage. This experimental study was designed to determine the effect of damask rose (Rosa damascena Mill.) extract on some chemical, microbial, and sensory properties of Sohan during storage at 25 °C. Methods: The Sohan ingredients were mixed...

The effects of the use of essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis on the chemical quality and fatty acids of fish fillets of Ctenopharyngodon idella were investigated during frozen storage at -18 ºC for 6 months. Fish fillets were divided into three groups the control (C) without rosemary essential, the second group with 0.2 % rosemary essential oil (A) and the third with 0.4 % rosemary essenti...

Banana is the most widely cultivated fruit crop in Kerala. Nendran, a dual purpose cultivar grown for consumption as vegetable unripe stage and also fruit, upon ripening. An experiment was conducted during 2019-20 to extend shelf life of this through shrink wrapping, followed by storage under ambient cool chamber conditions, after sanitizing with chlorine (100 ppm) treatment alum (1 %) subseque...

In the present study, 7% silver-low-density thin polyethylene films were successfully prepared through the melt mixing method. These films were applied to reduce the harmful antibacterial properties of Huso huso fillets at refrigeration temperatures, thus extending their shelf life. The total viable bacteria count for H. huso fillets wrapped in a 7% Ag/LDPE nanocomposite was 3.04±2.43 (log CFU/...

Post-harvest browning of litchi is a common phenomenon that occurs due to enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions. Enzymatic primarily caused by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, leading the formation brown pigments. Non-enzymatic Maillard reaction between reducing sugars amino acids. Factors such as temperature, humidity, mechanical damage can accelerate browning. Proper handling, storage, use ...
