This work focuses on the persistence of the putative probiotic bacteria Lactobacillus pentosus TOMC-LAB2 on green Spanish-style Manzanilla olives according to different packaging conditions and storage temperatures. The lactic acid bacteria population decreased with time but the highest survival counts (and lowest yeasts) at the end of storage (8 months) were observed in plastic pouches under n...

The meningococcus is not a "microaerophile." It grows equally well in atmospheres containing from 15 to 40 per cent oxygen. If small amounts of carbon dioxide affect the growth of the meningococcus on an artificial medium it is by changing the reaction of the medium, not by slightly reducing the oxygen tension of the surrounding air. The fallibility of titrating the total acidity of a medium is...

Pomegranate fruit is to rich in phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties can show difference the composition according cultivars, part of fruit, environmental conditions analysis method. Therefore, aim present study was analyse compare chemical from different parts Valenciana Wonderful pomegranate cultivars. The fruits were separated into aril, peel, membrane seeds manually analysed by com...

In this study effect of application of food waste vermicomposts to soil on antioxidant compounds, fruit yield and quality of sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.) were investigated in field condition. Four vermicompost levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 t/ha) were applied to soil based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results showed that the highest (21.87 kg m2)and lowest (14...

ABSTRACT: Edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (WPC) and gellan gum (G) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of Malus domestica cv Golab apples. WPC and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (Gly) were tested. Postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

kaolin-based film as surround wp® was applied to ‘galaxy’ apple trees to evaluate its effects on postharvest fruit quality. following harvest, the surround wp® on the fruit skin was either wiped off, or left unwiped, then, the fruits from these treatments along with fruits from non-surround wp®-treated trees as the control were stored at 6°c for 100 days. surround wp® film application reduced w...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect different incubation times on shelf life kefir. For purpose, kefir samples were first incubated for 8, 12, 18, 24 and 36 hours, creating 5 groups. It then stored at 4±1°C 21 days.. Microbiological (Lactobacillus spp., Lactococcus yeast), chemical (pH, titratable acidity), sensory analyses groups performed during storage period. Lactobacillus (7.80...
