Organoleptic test Smoothies Ambon Banana fruit (Musa Acuminata) and Cantaloupe (Cucumis Melo var. cantaloupe)

Modified Atmosphere Maintains Quality of Fresh-cut Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L.)

Fresh-cut cantaloupe cubes were placed in film-sealed containers in which the internal gas mixture was attained naturally (nMAP), was flushed with 4 kPa O 2 plus 10 kPa CO 2 (fMAP), or was maintained near atmospheric levels by perforating the film (PFP). While both nMAP and fMAP maintained the salable quality of melon cubes for 9 d at 5 C, fMAP maintained quality better than nMAP. The benefit o...

Sensory and instrumental analysis of medium and long shelf-life Charentais cantaloupe melons (Cucumis melo L.) harvested at different maturities

The flavour profiles of two genotypes of Charentais cantaloupe melons (medium shelf-life and long shelf-life), harvested at two distinct maturities (immature and mature fruit), were investigated. Dynamic headspace extraction (DHE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry/mass spectrometry (GC-O/MS) were used to determine vol...

evaluation of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of cantaloupe (cucumis melo var reticulatus) cultivated under different polyethylene mulches

cantaloupe (cucumis melo var reticulatus) belongs to cucurbitaceae family and is cultivated in various parts of iran. polyethylene mulches have recently been used in vegetable growing, for different purposes. to study the effects of different polythylehe mulches on the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of cantaloupe, an experiment was conducted in kaboutar-abad agricultural research ...

Malate synthase gene expression during fruit ripening of Cavendish banana (Musa acuminata cv. Williams).

Malate synthase (MS) is a key enzyme responsible for malic acid synthesis in the glyoxylate cycle, which functions to convert stored lipids to carbohydrates, by catalysing the glyoxylate condensation reaction with acetyl-CoA in the peroxisome. In this study, the cloning of an MS cDNA, designated MaMS-1, from the banana fruit is reported. MaMS-1 was 1801 bp in length encoding a single polypeptid...
