The effect of chilling on photosystem II (PSII) efficiency was studied in the variegated leaves of Calathea makoyana, in order to gain insight into the causes of chilling-induced photoinhibition. Additionally, a relationship was revealed between (chilling) stress and variation in photosynthesis. Chilling treatments (5 degrees C and 10 degrees C) were performed for different durations (1-7 d) un...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of soybean lecithin (SL) and virgin coconut oil (VCO) in Tris-based extender on chilled and frozen-thawed bull semen quality parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 24 ejaculates were collected from four bulls via an electroejaculator. Semen samples were diluted with 2% VCO in Tris-based extender whic...

To meet the increasing demand for value-added fresh cod loins in the EU retail market, it is important to develop new technologies and preservation methods to effectively extend the shelf-life and improve the eating quality of fresh cod loins. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of combined application of MAP and superchilled storage on the shelf-life extension of fresh cod loi...

As fish is a perishable food item, multiple storage approaches need be considered to extend its shelf-life, safety, and quality. Despite advancements in modern frozen techniques, chilling freezing remain the most frequently employed preservation practices onboard. The purpose of this review outline ways increasing shelf-life fresh by assessing different conventional conditions. Although there a...
