The definition of food quality may differ for processors and consumers, but generally organoleptic characteristics, such as flavour, odour and appearance, as well as extended shelf life are among the most important of its attributes. Spoilage of food by microbial contamination may occur at any point during production, altering any one or all of these characteristics renders the product unusable...

In a broad sense, the name coffee is used not only for fruits of the coffee tree (cherry coffee), but also for processed fruit such as green (raw) coffee, roasted coffee, instant coffee, and coffee as a beverage. The grading and quality evaluation of coffee beans is based on uniformity, purity, the absence of damaged beans, and decisively on the organoleptic properties of the beverage prepared ...

Agricultural systems have to adapt, in a changing climatic context, to face the growing social demand in terms of organoleptic, nutritional and environmental quality of food products. Thus, a crucial question for the future is how to manage fruit quality by finding the best combinations of genetic resources and cultural practices adapted to, and respectful of specific environments. This questio...

A single column cation exchanger resin was used to eliminate cations from renet cheese whey, with particular reference to the improvement of taste and flavor. Ten panelists were convened to assess the contribution of the mineral components to the salty taste of whey, judging on the basis of taste, flavor and color. The organoleptic characteristics of untreated whey were arbitrarily assigned a s...

Along with the growth and processing of banana fruit, a considerable amount biomass (pseudostem, bloom, leaves, suckers) is also produced. The extra left in field after bunches are harvested either burned, dumped into lakes rivers or just on bunds. This harms ecology wellbeing living things by contaminating nearby water supplies air. findings this study suggest that blanching pseudostem candy f...

Pasteurization has long been the standard method to extend the shelf-life of dairy products, as well as a means to reduce microbial load and the risk of food-borne pathogens. However, the process has limitations, which include cost effectiveness, high energy input, and reduction of product quality/organoleptic characteristics. In an effort to reduce these limitations and extend shelf-life, this...

BACKGROUND We previously reported that two-phase partition chromatography between ginseng water extract and soybean oil efficiently eliminated pesticide residues. However, an undesirable odor and an unpalatable taste unique to soybean oil were two major disadvantages of the method. This study was carried out to find an alternative vegetable oil that is cost effective, labor effective, and effic...

Frozen yoghurt has been the fastest growing product in the frozen dessert market in recent years. Consumer’s interest in frozen yoghurt stems from the desirable nutritional properties attributed to the product. Yoghurt contains substantial amounts of live lactic acid bacteria and the beneficial effects of yoghurt are postulated to be due to its probiotic contents. The present study was carried ...
