background and objectives: thermal processing is an effective method in preventing microbial spoilage but high heat transfer in a long time process that leads to quality loss and increased energy consumption. also it is important to consider sensitive nature of food products during the thermal processing. due to the nano-fluids' unique thermo–physical properties compared with the conventio...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among women in the United States. Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness increase with advancing age and are early predictors of future CVD outcomes. We designed the Modulating Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Elders (MOXIE) study to examine the effects of 100% watermelon juice as a "food-first" intervention to reduce CVD ri...

Background: Watermelon is a rich natural source of l-citrulline. This non-essential amino acid increases exercise performance. Objective: Evaluate the effect of Fashion watermelon juice enriched in l-citrulline (CWJ) (3.45 g per 500 mL) in physical performance and biochemical markers after a half-marathon race. Design: A randomised, double blind, crossover design where 2 h after drinking 500 mL...

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a major food-borne pathogen worldwide and a frequent contaminant of fruit juices. This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of bacteriocin-containing Cell-Free Culture Supernatants (CFCS) of Pediococcus pentosaceus IO1 against S. aureus inoculated in fruit juices, as well as their impact on the juice sensory attributes. Methods: The orange and...

Permittivities from 10 to 4500 MHz at 24◦C were measured on pulp and juice of watermelons of different maturities with an open-ended coaxial-line probe and network analyzer. The dielectric constant of both materials decreased monotonically with increasing frequency and loss factor had a minimum at about 1000 MHz. Moreover, the pulp and juice had very similar loss factor values at each frequency...

The aim of the present was to analyze effect different intercrops with and without mulch on growth, yield quality kinnow mandarin orchard. data plant such as height, stem girth, canopy spread, volume were collected in month February 2020 before transplanting intercrops. under treatments have significant growth plant, percent increase height (3.22%) + watermelon, girth (4.20%) tomato, spread EW ...

Hypertension is one of the biggest health problems faced in world. The purpose this study was to determine effectiveness watermelon juice and cucumber on reducing blood pressure elderly with hypertension. research method uses a quasi-experimental design two group pre-post test design. This conducted at Sidomulyo Inpatient Health Center, Pekanbaru total 20 respondents. Data analysis used depende...

This study examines the role of non-synthetic buffers from watermelon and papaya juice added to coconut water diluent on liquid semen quality Kacang goats during cold storage at 5oC for three months. An experimental method was used in which a 2.5-year-old male collected twice week using an artificial vagina. The primary ingredients include young water, Viridis, watermelon, papaya, NaHCO3, Egg Y...

Cellulose was the most abundant polymer or polysaccharide that presents as the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants but also signify for microbial extracellular polymer. The production of cellulose by microorganism such as Acetobacter xylinum sp. was most favored by researchers because the cellulose that produced was extremely pure and had a higher degree of polymerizat...

Characterization, pasteurization and storage are essential steps in fruit juice processing. Watermelon, pineapple, mango juices were pasteurized at 80 ± 2 °C held different treatment times (1, 2.5, 5, 10, 15 min). Juice yield, pH, proximate composition, total soluble solids, color, vitamin C, microbial quality, mineral content, enzyme activity (polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD)), pheno...
