The research was carried out at the Federal Research Center named after I.V. Michurin (Tambov region, Russia), using a promising apple cultivar Berkutovskoye with high susceptibility to superficial scald. aim of study influence storage technologies different oxygen content in atmosphere on losses from scald and other diseases fruit cv. Berkutovskoye. Control 1-MCP-treated fruits were stored und...

BACKGROUND Burns and scalds are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Successful counter-measures to prevent burn and scald-related injury have been identified. However, evidence indicating the successful roll-out of these counter-measures into the wider community is lacking. Community-based interventions in the form of multi-strategy, multi-focused programmes are hypothes...

The purpose of this study was to determine the specific effects of extending the interval between dwell time and the duration of scalding on pork quality attributes. Sixty-four Duroc x Yorkshire pigs were randomly assigned to a 2 x 2 factorial treatment arrangement. Treatments included extending the dwell duration from 5 to 10 min and extending the scald duration from 5 to 8 min. All carcasses ...

The molecular and biochemical events underlying the onset of superficial scald in two pear cultivars with different susceptibility (‘Blanquilla’ ‘Conference’) was investigated fruit untreated treated lovastatin, 1-MCP or ethylene. ‘Conference’ pears were characterized by higher content flavonols linolenic acid (18:3), metabolites related to chilling injury resistance. In this cultivar, expressi...
