in this study, the effectiveness of chitosan coating treatment to control weight loss and maintaining fruit quality of apricot was investigated. fruits were coated with 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% chitosan as well as distilled water (control). following treatments, fruits were stored at 0?c and 80 ? 2% relative humidity for 25 days. the weight loss, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta)...

to determine the effects of pre-harvest salicylic acid (sa) treatments on postharvest life and quality of apricot fruits, four different concentrations (one, 1.5, three and 4.5 mm) were applied six days before harvesting of apricot fruits cv. ‘shamlou’. fruits harvested at commercial maturity stage and stored at 2ºc with 90 percent rh on the same day for a period of three weeks. the fruit was e...

barhee is one of the most important date cultivar worldwide that its production in iran is done mainly in khuzestan province. this cultivar has many consumers at its three last developmental stages especially rutab stage. in rutab stage, the fruit texture is very soft and due to high water and sugar content is a good target for microorganisms and so it has a short storage life. using new disinf...

The onion bulbs’ post-harvest quality is essential for good commercialization; the longest storage time critical to producer in choosing cultivar. Thus, this work aimed evaluate of bulbs under periods a controlled environment. experiment was installed factorial scheme (6x4), represented by six cultivars (BR29, Itajubá, Mulata, Omega, Rainha, and Salto Grande), evaluated four (40, 80, 120, 160 d...

Baobab is a dry land product rich in vitamins and minerals but has remained underutilized. Therefore, value addition of the baobab pulp through incorporation to probiotic yoghurt will promote dietary utilization. Different treatments were made by incorporating different amounts ground pulp. Treatments analyzed for protein, fat, ash moisture content. Total solids, synerisis, titratable acidity, ...

This study investigated the effects of use low magnetic fields as a potential method for improving quality apples after storage. The fruit were exposed to 100 μT 8 h per day and kept period two weeks in room conditions. results showed that samples treated with field generally had higher value ratio total soluble solid titratable acidity compared untreated samples, which indicated their quality....

Effect of traditional fermentation on pH, titratable acidity, proteins, amino acids, and sugars contents three local sorghum cultivars namely Hamra, Biadah Shahla used in making khamir bread were investigated. During 24 fermentations, the pH fermented dough dropped sharply this was coincided with increase total acidity. Fermentation found to cause no significant change protein content cultivars...

AIMS The objective of this study was to determine the effect of increasing juice soluble solids above 40 degrees Brix on wine yeast's ability to grow and ferment the juice, with particular focus on acetic acid production, titratable acidity (TA) changes and the maximum amount of sugar consumed by the yeast. METHODS AND RESULTS Riesling Icewine juices at 40, 42, 44 and 46 degrees Brix were ino...
