Shelf Life Extension of Banana (<i>Musa sapientum</i>) by Gamma Radiation

Shelf Life Extension of Banana (musa Sapientum) by Gamma Radiation

The effect of gamma radiation on the shelf life extension of Bananas was studied. Bananas were treated with three gamma radiation doses of 0.30k Gy; 0.40k Gy and 0.50k Gy for 5 mins respectively and stored in a dry place under room conditions (25±2°C/ 80± 5% RH). The physical conditions of the radiation treated and control bananas were observed at every 2 days interval for their organoleptic pr...

Extension of Trout Fish Shelf Life by Ozone Treatment

Shelf life extension of sugarcane juice using preservatives and gamma radiation processing.

Preserving raw sugarcane juice is a challenging problem. Sugarcane juice turns brown soon after its extraction and gets spoiled due to fermentation within hours. A combination of gamma radiation (5 kGy) with permitted preservatives and low temperature storage (10 °C) could preserve raw sugarcane juice for more than a month. The preservatives used were citric acid (0.3%), sodium benzoate (0.015%...

Shelf Life Extension of Package’s Using Cupper/(Biopolymer nanocomposite) Produced by One-Step Process

ABSTRACT: The use of new compounds to increase the shelf life of more perishable foods based on nanoparticles and biodegradable polymers have been developed in packaging. Chitosan (Cts) is a natural biopolymer with excellent biodegradability and nontoxicity and antibacterial effect. In this research antibacterial copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were incorporated in the biodegradable chitosan matri...

Abattoir Hygiene and Shelf Life Extension

Extension research has been conducted over the past three years over the various abattoirs, technological institutions and meat processing plants, in order to establish means of enhancing safety as well as shelf life extension. The technology applied was the process of electro-chemical activation of water by an on-site device. This device makes use of a powerful electrical field to split a sali...
