Here, we characterized the changes in fruit quality and biochemical parameters four Myanmar mango cultivars from ripening stage 1 to 4 at ambient temperature. Total soluble solids, total sugars, reducing non-reducing sugar content increased, whereas titratable acidity decreased with increasing storage time all cultivars. ‘Sein Ta Lone’ showed highest consumer acceptability, maximum sensory scor...

Changes in quality, total ascorbic acid, reduced ascorbic acid and dehydroascorbate in fresh cut ‘Selva’ strawberries (Fragariu x anana~~a Duch.) held for 7 days and ‘Fuyu’ persimmons (Diospyros kuki L.) held for 8 days at 5°C in air or controlled atmospheres were evaluated. Various atmospheres had significantly different effects on the color, pH, and titratable acidity of the fruits. The two f...

Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) fruit is an important medicinal plant in Iran. The harvesting time is a crucial for jujube fruit quality. Several characteristics of jujube fruit when harvested at four development stages; white mature (light green), crisp mature (white-red), fully mature (red) and fully ripe (dehydrated brown) were evaluated. Fruit weight, diameter, volume, pulp to stone ratio, f...

This study investigated changes in the microbial growth and chemical characteristics of coconut water kefir (CWK) during fermentation. The carbohydrate profile, terms glucose sucrose consumption, production carboxylic acids, amino acid was determined CWK fermentation over a period 96 h. results showed that grains were able to utilise both produce significant quantities acids after h total titra...

the effect of the organic, integrated and conventional methods of kiwifruit cv. 'hayward' production on the fruit quality at its harvest time was investigated. such traits as fruit size, firmness, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta), total chlorophyll, total carotenoids, vitamin c, total phenol, flavonoid compounds (catechin, quercetin 3-glucoside and chlorogenic acid)...

The objective of this in vitro study was to investigate the effects of viscosity changes of different acidic solutions on dental erosion. Bovine enamel samples (n = 240, Ø = 3 mm) were embedded in acrylic resin and were allocated to 30 groups (n = 8). Citric acid (CA) and phosphoric acid (PA) solutions at pH 2.5, 3, and 3.5 were prepared in de-ionized water (titratable acidity to pH 5.5: 31 ± 0...

In four persons of one family the existence of an enzymatic defect, presumably consisting of a deficiency of glutaminase in the cells of the renal tubules, is postulated, and is implied by a reduced elimination of ammonia in the urine, by a relatively low urinary pH, and by its increased titratable acidity. The most characteristic clinical symptom is irritation of the distal part of the urinary...

The elevation of pCO2 which occurs during respiratory acidosis is accompanied by a rise in the concentration of bicarbonate and a fall in the concentration of chloride in serum (1). The increased bicarbonate concentration results from both cellular and renal responses. The cellular response is characterized by the exchange of extracellular hydrogen ions for intracellular cations, thereby contri...

Although adrenalectomy is usually associated with an impairment of ammonium and/or titratable acid excretion by the kidney, it is uncertain whether rates of renal net acid excretion are also reduced. Further, it is unclear whether the absence of the adrenal gland itself or other factors of adrenal insufficiency mediate such changes in renal acidification parameters. For example, dramatic increa...

The effect of processing on the biochemical contents of Acanthus montanus leaves was investigated. The moisture, crude protein, lipid, fiber, ash, and total carbohydrate contents of the raw vegetable were 59.15, 1.85, 2.32, 3.76, 2.04, and 34.65 g/100 g, respectively. The saponin, alkaloid, tannin, flavonoid, phenol, and anthocyanin contents of the raw vegetable were 5.35, 4.04, 1.10, 3.53, 2.8...
