There are few available compounds that can both control browning and enhance microbial safety of fresh-cut fruits. In the present study, the antibrowning ability of sodium acid sulfate (SAS) on "Granny Smith" apple slices was first investigated in terms of optimum concentration and treatment time. In a separate experiment, the apple slices were treated with water or 3% of SAS, calcium ascorbate...

Citric acid (CA) and sodium chloride (NaCl) are used in organically trimmed young aromatic coconuts to prevent microbial growth browning. However, the use of high concentrations these chemicals is considered a waste may elicit allergic reactions operator. This study aimed reduce concentration two substances by using combination ozone-ultrafine bubbles (O3UFBs). The were dipped 20% CA + NaCl (co...

We have much pleasure in announcing that the lis. 100 prize offered by Messrs. Thacker, ?Spink & Co., for the best essay on 'How Plague is spread,' has been awarded to Major S. Browning Smith, I.M.S., Plague Medical Officer, Punjab, for his paper on 'The Spread of Plague' which appeared in our July number. We have to thank Colonel Lukis, Principal of the Medical College, Calcutta, for kindly ju...

Fresh-cut banana slices have a short shelf-life due to fast browning and softening after processing. The effects of atmospheric modification, exposure to 1-MCP, and chemical dips on the quality of fresh-cut bananas were determined. Low levels of O2 (2 and 4 kPa) and high levels of CO2 (5 and 10 kPa), alone or in combination, did not prevent browning and softening of fresh-cut banana slices. Sof...

ABSTRACT- Considering health and economic issues, today, consumers have become more concerned with foods which contain natural ingredients. Hence, in this study, the effects of plum concentrate and puree which were incorporated into the Taftoon bread formulation at different levels on the rheological, baking properties and shelf life of bread were evaluated. Results showed that addition of plum...

aril browning threatens production, consumption, and exports of pomegranates, because affected fruit cannot be externally distinguished from healthy fruit. this study compared the mineral, biochemical composition, and related enzyme activities in affected brown arils with healthy ones in ‘malase saveh’ pomegranates. the results indicated that concentrations of cu in the aril and k, mg, and mn i...

Houttuynia cordata is one of the most potential medicinal and edible wild herb whose resources have decreased sharply due to excessive exploitation. Besides its slow agamic propagation, problems of browning and non-dedifferentiation have prevented the application of micropropagation in H. cordata. Through 4 week pre-culture in darkness and wounding after 1 week pre-culture, the browning rate of...

Previous studies have confirmed the time-lagged and cumulative effects of drought anthropogenic activities on vegetation growth, but these focus effect are poorly known how productivity responds to activities. Here, based reconstructed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index land use degree comprehensive index, we diagnosed spatiotemporal patt...
