Prestorage Heat Treatments Influence Free Sterols and Flavor Volatiles of Tomatoes Stored at Chilling Temperature

Influence of Heat Treatments on Carotenoid Content of Cherry Tomatoes

Tomatoes and tomato products are rich sources of carotenoids-principally lycopene, followed by β-carotene and lutein. The aim of this work was to study the effect of heat treatment on carotenoid content in cherry tomatoes. Raw and canned products were sampled and analysed; furthermore whole, skin and pulp fractions of cherry tomatoes were analysed when raw and home-processed, in order to better...

Influence of Prestorage Incubation on the Hatchability of Guinea Fowl Eggs Stored for Fourteen Days

This study was conducted to determine the effects of different prestorage incubation (PRESI) times of 0, 3, 6 and 9 h on the hatchability of guinea fowl eggs stored for 14 d. A total of 80 eggs were assigned to each of the four PRESI treatments. PRESI-3h, PRESI-6h and PRESI-9h eggs were placed in an incubator at 37.5°C and 65% relative humidity for 3, 6 and 9 h, respectively, before storage wit...

Assessment of Flavor Volatiles of Iranian Rice Cultivars during Gelatinization Process

ABSTRACT: A combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with headspace solid-phase micro extraction (SPME) method has been employed for the analysis of the flavor volatiles of three different rice cultivar, including two modified Iranian rice cultivars and Hashemi rice cultivar during gelatinization. The proposed combination provided a powerful system for easy and rapid screening of a...

Investigation of Antimicrobial Effect of Biebersteinia multifida on White Cheese Stored at Refrigerator Temperature

Introduction: In recent years, food manufacturers have taken a lot of attention to the use of natural preservatives instead of chemical preservatives in their products, which has led consumers to prefer to use processed food without preservatives or even with natural preservatives. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial effect of ethanolic extract of Biebersteinia mul...
