Agricultural systems have to adapt, in a changing climatic context, to face the growing social demand in terms of organoleptic, nutritional and environmental quality of food products. Thus, a crucial question for the future is how to manage fruit quality by finding the best combinations of genetic resources and cultural practices adapted to, and respectful of specific environments. This questio...

A single column cation exchanger resin was used to eliminate cations from renet cheese whey, with particular reference to the improvement of taste and flavor. Ten panelists were convened to assess the contribution of the mineral components to the salty taste of whey, judging on the basis of taste, flavor and color. The organoleptic characteristics of untreated whey were arbitrarily assigned a s...

Along with the growth and processing of banana fruit, a considerable amount biomass (pseudostem, bloom, leaves, suckers) is also produced. The extra left in field after bunches are harvested either burned, dumped into lakes rivers or just on bunds. This harms ecology wellbeing living things by contaminating nearby water supplies air. findings this study suggest that blanching pseudostem candy f...

Drying is one of the most important stages of hazelnut processing and its optimization improves the quality of the final product. The quality of hazelnut is dependent on chemical and organoleptic characteristics of fruit that is affected in the drying process. In present research, samples of Gerd cultivar of hazelnut (Corylus avellana) were dried in shelled and in-shell forms using a laboratory...

A strict gluten limination diet is the unique solution for treating people with gluten related disorders. Commercial gluten free products have acceptable organoleptic characteristics, but they are high in energy and fat content, promoting obesity in patients with coeliac disease, are expensive and usually are difficult to find, especially in isolated areas. In the current investigation, two nov...

In the past, milk whey was only a by-product of cheese production, but currently, it has a high commercial value for use in the food industries. However, the regulation of whey management (i.e., storage and hygienic properties) has not been updated, and as a consequence, its microbiological quality is very challenging for food safety. The Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technique was applied t...

The effect of gamma radiation on the shelf life extension of Bananas was studied. Bananas were treated with three gamma radiation doses of 0.30k Gy; 0.40k Gy and 0.50k Gy for 5 mins respectively and stored in a dry place under room conditions (25±2°C/ 80± 5% RH). The physical conditions of the radiation treated and control bananas were observed at every 2 days interval for their organoleptic pr...
