This study investigates the antibacterial mechanism of action of electrospun chitosan-based nanofibers (CNFs), against Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria innocua, bacteria frequently involved in food contamination and spoilage. CNFs were prepared by electrospinning of chitosan and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blends. The in vitro antibact...

barbari is one of the common flat breads iniranwhich has short shelf life as other flat breads. hurdle technology has been recently developed to produce the safe, sustainable, nutritious, delicious and economical foods. it is considered as intelligent use of different preservation methods to obtain the moderate and trustable storage of foods. in this investigation the effects of polyol (propyle...

The effects of Mentha pulegium water extract dipping on quality and shelf life of silver carp during superchilled storage were investigated. Fish samples were treated with water extract of 1 and 3%M.pulegium, and then stored at -3 οC for 30 days. The control and the treatedfish samples were analyzed periodically for chemical (pH, PV, TBA, TVB-N), and sensory characteristics. The results indicat...

Recently, consumers have become more concerned with foods contain natural ingredients in terms of health and economic. Hence, in this study, the effects of concentrate of smoked and sun dried raisin were investigated at 3 levels (1, 3 and 5%) as a natural humectant to improve the quality and shelf life of flat bread. Results showed that addition of smoked and sun dried raisin improved quality a...

Ultraviolet (UV-C at 253.7 nm) technology has been the go-to alternative pasteurization and shelf-life extension treatment for beverages for the last two decades. It has been the focal point of non-thermal methods for fruit juice processing and has been studied extensively. UV-C technology has been proven to produce microbiologically safe products with minimal negative impact towards quality of...

The shelf life of perishable products depends mainly on the conservation air temperature. Packaging boxes are usually used to accommodate food during cold storage and transport and/or display. design vent-holes packaging box must promote airflow remove field heat produce after harvest at a short time. This study describes influence its performance storage. cooling different is evaluated experim...
