Abstract A sweet fruit taste of passion is produced by Passiflora ligularis , which adapts in around 1400 masl. Some P. edulis accessions wide elevation adaptation was reported to have a taste. This study aimed examine the morphological characteristics progenies from red- and yellow-rind obtain an adaptive accession low-elevation conditions. total 118 classified as their parents’ rind color sha...

Extracellular proteolysis is a cellular activity of central importance as it is a key event for the modulation of the extracellular matrix during cell migration, epithelial morphogenesis and tumor metastasis. In recent years, thyrocytes have proved to be a useful model to study extracellular proteolysis mainly through the degradation of thyroglobulin (Tg) (Brix et al., 1996). Tg (Mercken et al....

The brix of syrup is an important parameter in sugar production. To accurately measure brix, a novel measurement method based on support vector regression (SVR) presented. With the resonant frequency and quality factor as inputs output, mathematical model relationship between frequency, factor, established. Simultaneously, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm used to optimize penalty coe...

Storage of 42° Brix Pineapple and Valencia orange concentrates at 40° F. resulted in in creased gelation, clarification, and apparent pulp content, whereas pectin decreased. Total glycosides, as hesperidin, remained constant in these products during storage. The experi mental packs heated at 1and 2-fold were more stable than those heated at 3and 4fold; also all of the Valencia concentrates, con...
