Modeling of Potato Shelf Life on Evaporative Cooling Storage

Efffect of storage temperature and container type on storage and shelf life of persimmon fruits

The effect of evaporative air chilling and storage temperature on quality and shelf life of fresh chicken carcasses.

The effect of evaporative air chilling on quality of fresh chicken carcasses was compared with air chilling as reference method. Cooling efficiency and total heat loss were significantly higher for evaporative air chilling. The chilling method was of great importance for weight loss. Chicken chilled in cold air lost considerably more weight than chicken cooled by evaporative air chilling; the d...

Effect of Storage Temperature and Packaging Material on Shelf Life of Thornless Blackberry

Blackberry is a highly perishable fruit and its quality decreases very quickly during postharvest period. In this research, two types of container including: oriented poly styrene (OPS), a petroleum-based material, and oriented poly corn starch (OPCS), a bio-based material, was analyzed over 14 days to determine their effects on shelf life of thornless blackberry. Packages were placed in freeze...

Raising Evaporative Cooling Potentials Using Combined Cooled Ceiling and High Temperature Cooling Storage

Evaporative cooling is able to generate the cooling medium at a temperature approaching to the ambient wet bulb temperature. In this paper, a low-energy air conditioning strategy is proposed, which is a combination of cooled ceiling (CC), microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) slurry storage and evaporative cooling technologies. The assessment of evaporative cooling availability and uti...

Effect of turmeric on shrimp (Penaeus semisulcatus) shelf life extension in chilled storage conditions

The present investigation aimed to evaluate the effect of turmeric on shelf life extension of shrimp Penaeus semisulcatus under chilled storage conditions by sensory (organoleptic parameters), pH, proximate and bacterial analysis. The experimental setup was grouped into six, head on (group I), head on coated with turmeric (group II), headless (group III), headless coated with turmeric (group IV...
