Purpose of Review: This review is aimed at illustrating the directions in which research on controlled atmosphere (CA), modified atmosphere (MA) and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) for fresh and fresh-cut vegetables has been focused since about 2000, and to highlight significant new findings in the field. Findings: In the last 5 years, little research with vegetables has been carried out to...

Combustion synthesis has been used to produce Fe-(Ti,W)C composites. A simple reactor was designed which made it possible to ignite the samples under controlled atmosphere. Samples with different W/Ti ratio were ingnited under argon atmosphere by an electric arc and a self-propagating reaction was initiated in each sample. Different composites such as WC in Fe-Ti matrix, WC+(Ti,W)C in Fe matrix...

Nonchemical, environmentally friendly quarantine treatments are preferred for use in postharvest control of insect pests. Combined high temperature and controlled atmosphere quarantine treatments for phytosanitary fruit pests Macchiademus diplopterus (Distant) (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) and Phlyctinus callosus (Schoenherr) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) were investigated to determine the potential of ...
