In the present study, packaging of a greenhouse-grown tomato on the culture medium containing 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% compost tea under modified atmosphere: MA (88%N2 + 8%CO2 + 4%O2) in polyethylene and nanosilicon-polyethylene bags was studied at 5°C for 30 days. Several quality parameters such as moisture content, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), Vitamin C content, text...

In 2002, the maturity of grapevine was researched on the basis of sugar content, total titratable acidity and pH at seven locations with an undulating topography in four varieties 'Chardonnay', 'Riesling', 'Welschriesling' and 'Sauvignon'. All sampling points were geo-referenced simultaneously with DGPS for creating sugar maps. The significant relationship between the varying altitude above sea...

The experiment was conducted at Department of Horticulture, College Dr. Balasaheb Sawant konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth Dapoli (MS) during 2020-21 to study the effect post-harvest treatments different chemical and plant growth regulators on physical characteristics sapota fruits cv. ‘Kalipatti’ storage ambient condition. Fast ripening Sapota stage results in their short shelf life which leads deterio...

Abstract Flowers have received special attention not only for their ornamental nature but also nutraceutical, cosmetic, aromatic, and culinary properties. This study aimed to characterize physicochemical attributes the antioxidant capacity of flowers four gladiolus cultivars. The cultivars used were White Friendship, Rose Supreme, Jester, T704. We analyzed content total soluble solids (SS), tit...

The objective of this study was to determine important chemical characteristics of a full-strength liquid smoke, Code 10-Poly, and three refined liquid smoke products (AM-3, AM-10 and 1291) commercially available (Kerry Ingredients and Flavors, Monterey, TN). The pH of the products were significantly different (P < 0.05) and ranged from 2.3 (Code 10-Poly) to 5.7 (1291). The pH was inversely cor...

OBJECTIVE To determine the dental hazards associated with sports supplement drinks by investigating the chemicophysical properties of eight brands of sports drinks. METHODS The pH and titratable acidity against 0.1 M NaOH was measured. Calcium, phosphate, and fluoride concentrations and viscosities of Carbolode, Gatorade, High Five, Isostar, Lucozade Sport Lemon, Lucozade Sport Orange, Maxim,...

The combination of bioactive phytochemicals with yogurt in the form plant extracts or essential oils stimulates scientific community’s interest and consumers’ preferences. Extracts from guarana are considered agents have important health protective properties. In this study, concentrations aqua 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% w/w were added to milk fermentation kinetics, acidity, color, water-holding ...

UNLABELLED The effects of calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) and calcium lactate on maintaining textural and sensory quality of fresh-cut "Kent" and "Tommy Atkins" mangos and determination of treatments preferred by consumers were investigated. Mango cubes (1.5 × 1.5 × 1.5 cm) were subjected to different CaCl2 and calcium lactate concentrations (0 M, 0.068 M, 0.136 M, 0.204 M) and dip times (0, 1, 2.5, ...
