Accelerated Ripening of Kabkab Dates Using Sodium Chloride and Acetic Acid Solutions
Authors
Abstract:
In this research, the accelerated ripening of the Kabkab dates from Khalal to Tamr using NaCl and acetic acid solutions was studied. Fruits at Khalal stage were harvested and washed with distilled water before being treated with ripening inducers: 1. NaCl solutions, 2. acetic acid solutions and 3. Aqueous solution of NaCl (1%) and acetic acid. moisture, pH, colour, brix and textural firmness of the samples were monitored. Results indicated that during ripening the moisture content and colour changed significantly. The major change was observed for firmness where a maximum force for puncture test varied from about 1000 to 50 g force for all samples after 72 hours of incubation at 40 °C. Harvesting at Khalal stage followed by treating the fruits with NaCl and/or acetic acid solutions and an incubation stage at 40 °C showed to be a promising method for accelerated ripening.

Nor was the normal rate of loss of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate, ATP, or glutathione from the red cells affected by the presence of chloramphenicol over the same period. Consequently, this bacteriostatic agent can be added to blood samples taken under nonsterile conditions, such as from the heel of an infant, in order to preserve them from the effects of micro...

Vinegar has long been added to foods in the home and in the commercial packing plant as a flavoring element; in addition, it has adefinite preservative action against spoilage microorganisms. Any toxic effect of vinegar is undoubtedly due to its acetic acid content. Levine and Fellers (1940) showed that the toxicity of acetic acid is not due to pH alone although an increase in the hydrogen ions...

Abstract Background and objectives: Hemin is a porphyrin compound derived from hemoglobin, the precursor of other porphyrin hemoglobin derivatives and the raw material of Hematin. Since hemin is widely used in medicine, we decided primarily to synthesize this substance in Laboratory and to determine the best way of hemin extraction from untransfused and expired blood units. Materials and Method...

Electro-osmotic pumping (EOP) theory and its characteristics (transport numbers, brine concentration, current density, current efficiency, electro-osmotic coefficients, etc.) of Selemion AMV and CMV ion-exchange membranes were studied. The brine concentration increased with increase in current density and feed water concentration. Current efficiency was nearly constant in a wide range of curren...
