'Early Rich', 'Royal Glory', 'Sweet Dream(cov)', and 'Elegant Lady' peaches were stored at -0.5 °C for up to 40 days and then subjected to ripening at 20 °C for up to 3 days. Firmness, soluble solids content (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), color, consumer acceptance, and volatile compounds were then determined. The observed physicochemical changes included a significant decrease in firmness dur...

The @em of harvest maturity andprocessing variables on heat penetration times, firmness, and drained weight of Halley Bos 3155 cv diced tomatoes were evaluated. Core andflesh tissue of green and red tomatoes were cut into cubes (1.27 or 1.91 cm per side), calcium treated, and processed at either 90.5 or 96. I C. Water and tomato juice were used as processing and cooling mediums. Heat penetratio...

This work was carried out during two successive seasons (2009) and (2010) to examine the response of Florida Prince peach fruits to some pre-harvest treatments i.e. chitosan at 0.5 and 1.0% and CaCl2 at 2 and 4 % as well as their combinations on some fruit quality parameters under cold storage . Fruit weight loss (%), decay (%) and T.S.S.(%) of Florida Prince peach fruits were increased in most...

quince fruit has many benefits to human health and is an excellent source of pectin for jellies and jam industry. the objective of the present research was to study fruit physio-chemical attributes of some quince genotypes at harvest and their changes during cold storage. the fruit of 15 genotypes were harvested at optimum maturity and stored for 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days in cold storage and s...

The physicochemical changes occur during artificial ripening of Red banana variety using ethylene was studied for nine days of storage in a ripening chamber at a storage temperature and relative humidity of 22 °C and 85-88% respectively. It was observed that moisture content of pulp increased gradually during the storage time along with gradual increase in TSS till the end of storage period. St...

P a t i e n t s 313 adults who were ≥ 18 years of age (73% women), had ≥ 3 months of chronic lowback pain, and had pain while lying in bed or on rising. Exclusion criteria were referred pain; habitual prostration; possible systemic disease, inflammatory disease, or cancer; diagnosis or suspicion of fibromyalgia; pregnancy; habitually sleeping in a different bed ≥ 2 nights/wk; use of antiinflamm...

development of ultrasound technique has not been progressing for evaluating the internal quality of fruits as fast as that of processed foods. in this research for quality assessment of pear fruit (shah miveh variety) an ultrasonic measurement system was constructed to transmit and receive the ultrasonic waves. the apparatus included a pulser-receiver, a pair of 75 khz ultrasonic transducers wi...
