چکیده

One major problem with frozen fruits is a loss of texture. Therefore this study investigated the effects of the freezing process on the freezing profiles, texture, and drip loss of apple, mango, cantaloupe, and pineapple fruit samples. All frozenthawed fruits varied in these three properties because of diversity in the fresh fruits. Mango had the highest total soluble solids content and the lowest freezing point, whereas pineapple showed the highest freezing rate. The highest firmness and crunchy texture were found in fresh apple, and these properties were absent in the other fresh fruits. The firmness of all frozen fruits significantly decreased by different percentages as compared to those of the fresh fruits. The drip loss of each fruit type was also significantly different with apple samples having the highest firmness decrease and drip loss. This study shows that freezing characteristics and frozen fruit properties depend on type of fruit.

بررسی اثر هیالورونان روی میزان لقاح اسپرم‌های موش سوری قبل از انجماد و پس از ذوب

Background: Freezing and thawing induce a number of insults to the sperm cells, such as low motility and low fertilization capability. For evaluation of hyaluronan (HA) supplementation on sperm characteristics, we investigated the effect of hyaluronan (HA) on mouse sperm before freezing and after thawing. Methods: For this purpose we removed cauda epididimes from 24 male mice with aseptic meth...

The effects of extender type, freezing and thawing rates on fertility of the cryopreserved semen of the Caspian brown trout (Salmo trutta caspius )

Cryopreservation of semen from the Caspian brown trout (Salmo trutta caspius) and effects of extender type, freezing and thawing rates on fertilization ability were studied. After assessment of semen quality, one part of semen was diluted with three parts of different extender and decanted into 0.5ml straws. Freezing was carried out at two freezing levels, 1.5cm and 2cm above surface of liquid ...
