In this research the effect of conventional and ohmic pasteurization and storage time at different temperatures on some bioactive components of Aloe vera gel juice was investigated. Aloe vera gel juice was pasteurized conventionally and ohmically at 90 ºC for 1 min. The effect of pasteurization on vitamin C, total phenolic content  and juice color was evaluated. The samples pasteurized conv...

Background. White adipose tissue browning may be a promising strategy to combat obesity. UCP1 is strongly induced in White adipose tissue with β3-adrenergic agonist treatment, but the causes of this increase have not been fully elucidated. This study aims to explore more miRNAs involved in the process of browning of visceral adipose tissue. Methods. Total of fourteen mice were randomly divided ...

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a subtropical fruit of high commercial value in international trade. However, litchi fruit after harvest can rapidly lose their bright red skin color and turn brown with increasing storage time at ambient temperature. Postharvest browning of litchi fruit is mainly attributed to the degradation of anthocyanins and the oxidation of phenolics. In this study, the ...

Non-enzymatic browning was tested as a means of suppressing degradation of soybean meal (SBM) by ruminal microbes in five trials with in vitro ammonia release as the response criterion. Treatments imposed on SBM included reducing sugar source (xylose, glucose, fructose and lactose), reducing sugar level (1, 3 and 5 mol/mol SBM-lysine), pH (6.5, 8.5 and 10.0), dry matter (DM) content (65, 70, 75...

selecting within local pomegranate accessions is the main method used to identify new cultivars. total of 76 pomegranate accessions from hatay, turkey, were collected and their morpho-pomological and chemical characteristics were determined. the results showed that there was significant diversity among the accessions in terms of fruit quality parameters. several accessions were notable for thei...

On the surface, Robert Browning‟s poem, “Porphyria‟s Lover” is a straightforward piece. 1 The plot begins with the speaker, a man, being visited at night by his lover, Porphyria, and ends ultimately with him strangling her. It is a simple story, albeit a distressing one. As literary critic Catherine Ross notes in her article, “Browning‟s Porphyria’s Lover,” the “standard reading” of the poem is...

This study aimed to provide a reference for the practical use of forchlorfenuron (CPPU) in improvement fruit set and quality (especially size) litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.). CPPU at 5 mg/L was sprayed clusters ‘Feizixiao’ 2, 4, 6 8 weeks after female bloom (WAFB) 2017 6, 8, 9 or 10 WAFB 2018, with spraying water as control. The treatments were all effective suppressing abscission, resulting h...

Lipid damages were studied during a prolonged storage of canned fish. Albacore tuna was processed at two sterilization conditions (115°C, 74 min; 120°C, 40 min) and then stored up to six years. Analyses (lipid oxidation and hydrolysis, browning, fluorescent compounds formation) were achieved on the lipids extracted from the white muscle of the fish and on the packing oils. Muscle lipids were pa...

Tyrosinase is a multifunctional, glycosylated, and copper-containing oxidase, which catalyzes the first two steps in mammalian melanogenesis and is responsible for enzymatic browning reactions in damaged fruits during post-harvest handling and processing. Neither hyperpigmentation in human skin nor enzymatic browning in fruits are desirable. These phenomena have encouraged researchers to seek n...

Griffiths ( 13) has presented evidence in(licating that the browning reactions of banana fruit result from the enzymic oxi(lation of (lopamiiine (3.4 (lih-droxyphenylethylaminei) hy pIolyphenoloxi(lase. Althoughi (lopamine does occur in various fruits andl vegetables (23), it has not previously b)een imiplicated as an important substrate in browning reactions. The present investigation was unde...
