A mathematical expression for prediction of sugar loss in fresh produce during its storage by using a respiratory model
نویسندگان
چکیده
–Fruits and vegetables respire even after harvest. In respiration process the sugars and/or acids are consumed as substrates. The sugars contribute almost 90% in CO2 production of respiration. Uchino et al. 2004 developed respiration rate equation, which has been used to obtain a mathematical expression for sugar consumption/losses during storage of fruits by knowing the constants from experiment. One can predict the sugar losses during storage using the equation. The expression developed has been validated with data reported in the literature. Keywords–– respiration rate, sugar, shredded cabbage, broccoli, temperature, mathematical expression

Prediction of Blasting Cost in Limestone Mines Using Gene Expression Programming Model and Artificial Neural Networks
The use of blasting cost (BC) prediction to achieve optimal fragmentation is necessary in order to control the adverse consequences of blasting such as fly rock, ground vibration, and air blast in open-pit mines. In this research work, BC is predicted through collecting 146 blasting data from six limestone mines in Iran using the artificial neural networks (ANNs), gene expression programming (G...
متن کاملThe optimization of root nutrient content for increased sugar beet productivity using an artificial neural network
Conventional procedures are inadequate for optimizing the concentrations ofnutrients to increase the sugar yield. In this study, an artificial neural network(ANN) was used to optimize the Ca, Mg, N, K and Na content of the storage rootto increase sugar yield (Y) by increasing both sugar content (SC) and root yield(T). Data from three field experiments were used to produce a wide range ofvariati...

Sediment rating curve is an essential factor for many river engineering subjects and computations such as dredging, design of storage dams, river intakes design and sand mining management. Although, this curve is established using simultaneous measurement of flow and sediment transport discharges, however, due to lack of reliable data during flood events, it has limited reliability in flood con...

Nowadays low-calorie products are increasingly becoming popular. One of the methods to produce low-calorie food is replacement of sugar (sucrose) with low-calorie sweeteners such as stevioside. This compound is isolated from the leaves of the Paraguayan plant, Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni. Since orange juice is a popular beverage with an important role in human nutrition, production of low-calorie...
متن کاملEffect of Calcium Alginate Edible Coatings on Microbial and Chemical Properties of Lamb Meat during Refrigerated Storage
Background: Edible films and coatings have potential benefits for food packaging, particularly meat products. These coatings prevent weight loss and texture changes during shelf life by reducing moisture loss in fresh and frozen meat products. In this study, effect of calcium alginate edible coating on microbial and chemical properties of refrigerated lamb meat over a period of 5 days was...
