Roselle-fruit juice blends were made from roselle extract and mango, papaya, and guava juices at the ratio of 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, and 20:80, % roselle: fruit juice, respectively. The blends were pasteurized at 82.5°C for 20 min and stored in 100 mL plastic bottles at 28 and 4°C for 6 months. The effects of storage time and temperature on physicochemical and bioactive properties were evaluated....

The consumption of fresh-cut pomegranate fruits (arils) has risen recently due to their bioactive compounds and benefits for consumers. However, arils have a limited shelf-life vastly lose valuable compounds. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects exogenous postharvest treatment with salicylic acid (SA), methyl Jasmonate (MeJA), combination on chemical composition under refrigera...

this article reports a study of the thermo-oxidation and biodegradation in the soil of low-density polyethylene/starch films (ldpe/starch) by infrared spectroscopy: films of ldpe/starch blends of different composition (starch content range from 0 to 15% w/w),were prepared and exposed to thermo-oxidation at different temperatures at 80, 90 and 100°c,and buried in the soil of public dump during 3...

This study was carried out during two successive seasons of 2018 and 2019 on cherry tomato F1 hybrid Cherubino which harvested at turning stage (25% red colour) from a private Farm El Salhia Gadeda District, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt. The aim this work to the effect dipping fruits in solutions some edible materials, (arabic gum, cellulose, pectin, xanthan) maintaining quality storability posth...

Abstract Background Packaging of locust beans is done to prevent deterioration and promote its shelf-life. This research was carried out develop evaluate a cocoyam starch-banana peels nanocomposite film for packaging. The prepared by gelatinizing mixture 0.36 g banana nanoparticles (~ 1.14–1.64 nm), 18 starch, ml glycerol in 300 distilled water at 90 °C. thermal, structural, mechanical barrier ...

This study was performed to investigate the effect of storage conditions on seed germination performance of faba bean (cv. Shami). For this purpose, a three factors factorial experiment was conducted in laboratory of Seed Science and Technology, Faculty of Agriculture, Yasouj University, in 2013-2014, based on CRD design with five replications.  The experimental factors were storage temperature...
