Kinnow (Citrus nobilis × Citrus deliciosa L.) is a widely grown Citrus species known for its high quality fruit juice with good storage life. The present investigation is concerned with the enhancement of shelf-life of Kinnow fruit juice through refrigeration storage and addition of preservatives. Fruit juice was prepared from fruits harvested at complete physiological maturity and potassium me...

In off-grid wind energy systems batteries often undergo frequent charge discharge cycles, which reduce battery service life. In addition, due to motor start and other high ‘inrush current’ loads batteries can also undergo high rates of discharge which also degrade battery life. In this paper, a superconducting magnetic energy storage and battery hybrid energy storage system is proposed which is...

Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is a vegetable that requires the application of postharvest techniques to extend its marketability. Controlled atmosphere and 1-MCP treatments are most used to extend the shelf life of broccoli and reduce post-harvest deterioration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the visual, physicochemical and functional changes of broccoli head samples stored a...

in this study, thyme extract (0, 2 and 4% w/v) on the chemical quality of common carp surimi was investigated during refrigerator storage. samples were withdrawn at four 3 days intervals over a storage period of 15 days (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 days), and analyzed to determine the extent of deterioration by chemical tests  such as thiobarbitoric acid (tba), total volatile bases nitrogen (tvb-n) a...

Watercress is a leafy vegetable of the family Brassicaceae that grows in and around water, it has a short shelf life (approximately seven days) and it is consumed raw or steamed. The objective of this work was to study the effect of packaging film and different storage temperature on the postharvest quality of watercress minimally processed. Treatments were: packed with plain film (PD961EZ, 31m...

Background and Objective: The quality of flat breads depends in part on the textural and structural properties of breads during storage. These properties are largely affected by flour quality. This research aimed at evaluating textural and structural properties of Lavash bread types during storage by different techniques, comparing these methods and determination of correlation between their re...

UNLABELLED The effects of storage conditions on the lipid deterioration in California almond nuts and sliced were studied. Natural whole almonds with or without polyethylene (PE) packaging and blanched whole almonds and sliced with PE packaging were stored in 10 different storage conditions which were combinations of different temperatures and relative humidity levels. The peroxide values (PVs)...

Les systèmes pair-à-pair à grande échelle représentent un moyen fiable pour stocker des données à faible coût. Afin d’assurer la pérennité des données des utilisateurs, il est nécessaire d’ajouter de la redondance. Ainsi à partir de s fragments initiaux composant un bloc de données, s + r fragments sont générés et répartis entre les pairs du réseau. Nous étudions dans ce papier l’impact des dif...

The sudden drop of the beam life time and bursts of background radiation were detected in many machines and associated with microscopic dust particles. We present the model of the dust particle dynamics explaining the long time of the dust events observed in the PEP-II B-factory and BEPC-II machines.
