Historically, the United States has positioned itself as one of leading producers and consumers melons in world with a 2020 production value over $295 million (excluding watermelons). It been estimated that on average per capita consumption U.S. is about 24 pounds each year [1]. Increased consumer awareness healthy diets, sensory attributes melons, enhanced year-round availability, marketing te...

The study was designed to evaluate the use of low concentrations of separan flocculent (Less than 3 ppm) on physicochemical properties of sugar cane juice. Colour, pH, purity, turbidity, pol, brix, reducing sugars tannins and polyphenols of crushed cane (green and burned) juice, mixed juice and clarified juice were studied. The results showed that pol, brix, reducing sugar and turbidity are hig...

OBJECTIVE To compare the absorption of carbohydrate in particular from a lower (10 mL/kg(-1)) quantity than that previously tested, of white grape juice and pear juice after a single feeding and after ingestion twice daily for 2 weeks, and determine their respective effects on stool water content, in healthy infants. STUDY PARTICIPANTS Twelve healthy, well-nourished infants, 5 to 9 months of ...

Using an automated rapid headspace solid phase microextraction (SPME) method for volatile extraction in cantaloupes, 86 compounds already reported for muskmelons were recovered and an additional 53 compounds not previously reported were identified or tentatively identified. The SPME method extracted a copious number of volatiles that can be analyzed to clearly differentiate between variety, gro...

Cantaloupe and honeydew melon cultivars were processed and stored under a high oxygen passive modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) or reduced oxygen controlled atmosphere (CA; 5 kPa O2 + 10 kPa CO2 and balance N2) for 14 days at 5 C. Atmosphere did not affect softening rate or soluble solids content and had a negligible effect on colour. Volatile compounds known as flavour-important in melons we...

We investigated the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of yogurt supplemented with 1%, 2%, and 3% aronia juice and fermented for 24 h at 37°C. The total acidity increased with increasing levels of aronia juice and incubation time. Lightness and yellowness of the yogurt decreased, but redness increased, with increasing aronia juice content and incubation time. The number of lacti...

We have developed an inexpensive, standardized paper chromogenic array (PCA) integrated with a machine learning approach to accurately identify single pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis, or Escherichia coli O157:H7) multiple (either in monocultures, cocktail culture), the presence of background microflora on food. Cantaloupe, commodity significant volatile organic compoun...

Aiming at the trouble of low survival rate cantaloupe seedling in hyperthermia, drought and dry land Turpan region China, existing transplanting machine is key to mechanized non-destructive transportation planting large plants young tender melon seedlings, root water injection, precise soil piling holes，and other technical difficulties. The design mulch film transplanter for laying pipes belts ...
