Background and Objectives: Edible parts of pomegranate fruits are a rich source of bioactive compounds. The present research examines the effect of modified atmosphere packaging on the fruit physico-chemical and microbial properties of two commercial pomegranate cultivars grown in Iran. Materials and Methods: The arils were packaged and stored under four different atmospheres. All of the pac...

The aim of the present study was to develop a simple but comprehensive mathematical model for predicting molecular oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature evolution inside modified atmosphere packages of strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa cv. San Andreas) during storage in fluctuating temperature conditions. Gas transport and heat transfer within packages were modelled with traditional...

The stoichiometric ratio of O2 evolution to CO2 uptake during photosynthesis reveals information about reductive metabolism, including the reduction of alternative electron acceptors, such as nitrite and oxaloacetate. Recently we reported that in simultaneous measurements of CO2 uptake and O2 evolution in a sunflower leaf, O2 evolution changed by 7% more than CO2 uptake when light intensity was...

It is widely accepted that atmospheric O2 has played a key role in the development of life on Earth, as evident from the coincidence between the rise of atmospheric O2 concentrations in the Precambrian and biological evolution. Additionally, it has also been suggested that low atmospheric O2 is one of the major drivers for at least two of the five mass-extinction events in the Phanerozoic. At t...

the present study is concerned with measuring and simulating soot formation and combustion in turbulent liquid fuel spray flames. soot concentrations inside the combustor are measured by filter paper technique. the simulation is based on the solution of the fully-coupled conservation equations for turbulent flow, chemical species kinetic modeling, fuel droplet evaporation and combustion and soo...

A gas sensor, comprised of a gas-responsive multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT)—silicon dioxide (SiO2) composite layer deposited on a planar inductor-capacitor resonant circuit is presented here for the monitoring of carbon dioxide (CO2), oxygen (O2), and ammonia (NH3). The absorption of different gases in the MWNT-SiO2 layer changes the permittivity and conductivity of the material and consequent...
