The survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella was studied in apple, orange, pineapple, and white grape juice concentrates and banana puree. Pouches of juice concentrate or puree were inoculated with pathogens at a level > or = 10(3) CFU/g and stored at -23 degrees C (-10 degrees F). Pathogen survival was monitored at 6 and 24 h, once a week for four consecutiv...

The objectives of the research were to find out: 1) response dairy cow farmers cow's milk yogurt production with addition sweet potato puree; 2) factors (age, education level, experience breeding and intensity extension) that affect farmers; 3) effectiveness extension behavior shift farmers. This used one group pretest-posttest design sampling technique was saturated sample (census) so 30 respo...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact ultrasound (US) at different frequencies (20, 370, and 583 kHz) power levels (35 48 W) on residual activity (RA) peroxidase (POD) polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in strawberry puree. Total anthocyanin content (TAC), total phenolic (TPC), ferric ion reducing antioxidant (FRAP) trolox equivalent capacity (TEAC) were also assessed. Results compared with un...

We report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus cytotoxicus CVUAS 2833, isolated from potato puree in Germany (2007), which is-despite its clearly different source-very similar to the type strain B. cytotoxicus NVH 391-98 isolated in France (average nucleotide identity, 99.5%).

chemical composition and physicochemical properties of pumpkin seeds and fatty acids of their oil were determined. it was found that the seeds contained 41.59% oil and 25.4% protein. moisture, crude fiber, total ash, and carbohydrate contents were 5.2%, 5.34%, 2.49%, and 25.19%, respectively. the specific gravity, dynamic viscosity, and refractive index of the extracted pumpkin seed oil were 0....

Fourteen tropical fruits from south Florida (red guava, white guava, carambola, red pitaya (red dragon), white pitaya (white dragon), mamey sapote, sapodilla, lychee, longan, green mango, ripe mango, green papaya, and ripe papaya) were evaluated for antioxidant activity, total soluble phenolics (TSP), total ascorbic acid (TAA), total dietary fiber (TDF), and pectin. ORAC (oxygen radical absorba...

The incorporation of [14C]mevalonate and [“Clisopentenyl diphosphate into geranylgeranyl diphosphate was investigated in in oitro systems from Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) endosperm and from Auena sativa etioplasts. Mevalonate incorporation was effectively inhibited in the pumpkin system by geranylgeranyl diphosphate and geranylgeranyl monophosphate but less effectively by phytyl diphosphate or ino...

ABSTRACT Cucurbit leaf curl virus (CuLCV), a whitefly-transmitted geminivirus previously partially characterized from the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, was identified as a distinct bipartite begomovirus species. This virus has near sequence identity with the previously partially characterized Cucurbit leaf crumple virus from California. Experimental and natural host range stud...

The study was carried out for the preparation of good quality mixed vegetable juice from tomato, cucumber and pumpkin. Three formulations of different percentages of juices of each vegetable were used for the preparation of mixed juice. The products were then analyzed for their chemical analysis, statistical analysis, sensory evaluation, microbiological study and storage studies during 60 days ...

Abstract The article is devoted to the study of chemical composition dried pumpkin. Proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins in seeds, pulp peel pumpkin varieties Shifo Arabatskaya were studied by chromatographic analysis.
