Corn bran was subjected to high-shear and jet-cooking with or without alkaline treatment. The highest antioxidant activity was found in the soluble solids from jet-cooked corn bran without alkaline treatment. Jet-cooking under alkaline conditions resulted in a soluble fraction having the highest phenolic content but without increasing antioxidant activity. Phenolic contents of soluble solids we...

the effect of different concentration of salicylic acid (0, 1 and 2 mmoll-1) and chitosan (0, 0.5 and 1 percent) on postharvest life and quality of selva strawberry fruit during storage at 2.5±0.5°c with 85-95% rh for 7 and 14 days was studied. decay incidence, marketability, total soluble solids, total acidity, vitamin c content and total antioxidant activity were evaluated during storage. chi...

ABSTRACT: Edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (WPC) and gellan gum (G) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of Malus domestica cv Golab apples. WPC and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (Gly) were tested. Postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

Objectives: The overall objective of the project was to develop a novel light-based sensing technique to assess internal quality (firmness and sugar content or soluble solids content) of apples. Specific objectives were to: 1. Investigate a new sensing method, using hyperspectral and multispectral imaging, for quantifying the absorption and scattering properties of apple fruit; 2. Develop mathe...

A nondestructive optical method for determining the total solids content (TSC) and soluble solids content (SSC) of fresh whole prune (Prunus domestica L. ‘French’) was investigated. The method, based upon near infrared spectrophotometric techniques, could predict the TSC (r /0. 98, SEP /0.80% FW) and SSC (r /0. 96, SEP / 1.02%) of prunes. A low cost ($250

the physical and physiological characteristics of sarawak pineapple were studied at five different stages of growth from one to five months after anthesis. changes in fruit length, diameter, pulp color, pulp firmness, ph, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid content and antioxidant activity were monitored. the sarawak pineapple exhibited a sigmoid growth pattern during fruit ...
