This study examined the effect of locule position and thawing duration on physicochemical nutritional characteristics intact cryo-frozen Musang King durian fruit. Cryo-frozen that had 5 locules was thawed for 2 18 hr, fruitlets each were analysed colour (L*, a*, b*, C*, h), firmness, soluble solids concentration (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), pH, ascorbic acid (AA), total phenolic content, fl...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound as a conservation method for the inactivation of Escherichia coli inoculated into cactus pear juices (green and purple). Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, and the kinetics of E. coli in cactus pear juices treated by ultrasound (60%, 70%, 80% and 90% amplitude levels for 1, 3 and 5min) were evaluated over 5 days...

The objectives of this study were to determine the importance of simple and complex components of the interaction genotype × environment and to evaluate the adaptability and stability of Gália melon hybrids. Nine hybrids were tested in twelve environments of Rio Grande Norte State from 2000 to 2001. The experiments were carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. ...

Two portable infrared sensors were evaluated for the rapid determination of quality parameters in processing tomatoes. A total of 370 hot-break juices were prepared from ∼40 processing tomato varieties grown in 5 California counties. The levels of sugars, acids, soluble solids, titratable acidity, and pH in these juices were determined using standard reference methods. Juices were processed, fi...

Ozone is a powerful oxidant agent which used in foods preservation on account of its ability killing microorganisms. In the present study, combined effects ozone gas treatment and heat physicochemical sensory characteristics shelf-life strawberries kept under refrigeration were investigated. Strawberries treated, ozonated at concentrations 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 ppm for 40 min above-mentioned conditions...


 This research was conducted to determine the effect of sucrose concentration on characteristic kintamani arabica coffee wine and that produced best characteristic. The used a Randomized Block Design with faktor concists 5 levels (10% ,15%, 20%, 25%, 30% ) Each treatment repeated 3 times resulting 15 experimental units. data were analyzed by Analysis Of Variance show is observed Duncan Mu...

Viscosity of molasses is determined under standard conditions (50°C, 80% Karl Fischer solids) using a Hoeppler viscosimeter. Samples are pretreated by dilution and concentration under vacuum to dissolve crystal and remove air. Measurements are made at two different concentrations, preferably slightly below and slightly above 80% solids and the required value obtained by extrapolation using the ...

introduction: fruits and vegetables have special importance as a very important part of the human food supply. and from the beginnings of life, man has used these products to supply a part of his food. nowadays, horticultural products are widely used in the diet. cherry is one of the deciduous trees in the temperate regions, which is potassium rich. use of oxalic acid significantly reduces fros...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of packaging materials, seasonality, storage temperature and time on physiochemical and antioxidant properties of roselle-mango juice blends. Roselle extract (20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%) was mixed with mango juice and stored in glass and plastic bottles at 4°C and 28°C. Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar, color, vitamin C, tot...
