Storage stability of tomato paste as influenced by oil-citric acid and packaging materials

Comparison of Conventional and Modern Packaging in the Cold Storage of Healthy Tomato Paste and Tomato Paste Contaminated with Aspergillus flavus Spore

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the storage stability of tomato paste packaging of cans and a container with the brand name of "Robby" during 6 weeks.   Materials & Methods: Four cans of tomato paste were prepared from brand A. Sample 1 was covered with the plastic lid after opening. Sample 2 was transferred into a container with the brand name of "Robby". Tomato paste of cans 3 and ...

Effects of industrial tomato paste processing on ascorbic acid, flavonoids and carotenoids and their stability over one-year storage.

BACKGROUND The effects of industrial tomato paste processing and long-term (12 months) ambient storage on the content and stability of quercetin, kaempferol, ascorbic acid (AA), dehydroascorbic acid (DHAA), β-carotene and lycopene were evaluated in a commercially produced tomato paste. RESULTS The initial thermal treatment (hot break; 93 °C for 5 min) resulted in significant reductions in que...

QUALITY OF PITAYA FRUIT (Hylocereus undatus) AS INFLUENCED BY STORAGE TEMPERATURE AND PACKAGING SERGIO

Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) is a non-climacteric fruit that reaches its best eating quality when harvested ripe, decreasing thereafter during storage (CHIEN et al., 2007). As a new crop, there have been limited studies focused on extending the postharvest quality of pitaya fruit. The main postharvest problems of pitaya fruit are mechanical injury, chilling injury, decay, and water loss (NERD et...

Packaging and Storage of Olive Oil

Storage is a very important step of any food, including olive oil. In fact, olive oil shelf life can be influenced by different factors, from olive quality to processing technologies, however, the selection of proper storage conditions, including packaging, can be of great importance. The Mediterranean diet is recommended as food model for the prevention of various chronic-degenerative patholog...
