The present study was conducted for the determination of physicochemical and microbial quality changes non-sulfited sun dried apricots (NSDAs) with three various moisture contents (MCs); 137 g/kg (MC137), 235 (MC235), 270 (MC270); at different temperatures (4, 10, 20, 30°C) during 12 months in bulk packaged storage. NSDAs were subjected to physical (moisture, water activity, pH reflectance colo...

The aim of the work is to study copper content in food for nutritional support and correction deficiency children from high-risk group. method neutron activation analysis was used determine products plant animal origin. turned out be high (from 50 100 μg / g) - milled wheat bread, black raisins, moderate concentration 10 – sumalak , as well dried apricots, walnuts, peanuts, pears, almonds, apri...

High-performance cation exchange chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry or electrochemical detection was found to be an efficient tool for analyzing Amadori compounds derived from hexose and pentose sugars. The method allows rapid separation and identification of Amadori compounds, while benefiting from the well-known advantages of mass spectrometry, such as specificity and sensitiv...

Cell wall polysaccharides play an important role in postharvest fruit texture softening. Effects of calcium treatment combined with cold storage on the physical properties, polysaccharide content and nanostructure of apricots were investigated. Apricots were immersed in distilled water, 1% or 3% w/v calcium chloride, then stored at 5°C or 10°C. Storage at 5°C significantly improved apricot qual...

In this study, Çölo?lu, Hac?halilo?lu, Kabaa?? and Karacabey apricot species grown in Malatya province of Turkey were used. The effects various drying environment on the kinetics crude pre-treated apricots have been investigated. experiments conducted sunlight shade with SO2 treated untreated apricot. While speed curves dried increased rapidly at beginning, curve started to decrease afterwards....

Background Apricots, family Rosaceae, are economically important representatives of the genus Prunus. The number of apricot species ranges from three to ten, depending on the classification system adopted. The major obstacles to expansion of apricot production are irregular yields and low resistance to diseases. Compared with the high genetic variability in related species, apricots are not so ...
