Background: Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is an aromatic herb; rich source of citric, vitamin C, and phenolic compounds used as natural antioxidant and antibacterial agents in food processing. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of lemongrass extract on the quality properties of chicken burger during frozen storage. Methods: Lemongrass extract was prepared with three levels (0.5, 1.0, a...

oxidative stability of walnut (juglansregia l.) was evaluated over a period of 1 year storage in various conditions. the whole walnuts, walnut kernels, walnut chopped kernels, walnut kernels packaged in polyethylene (pet) under vacuum and poly propylene (pp) contain of co2 were kept in a normal condition (temperature, 19-30˚с and relative humidity (rh), 35-45%). the whole walnuts and walnut ker...

background: the purpose of the present in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of long term storage of conventional platelet concentrates (pcs) on major platelet receptors cd42b and cd41/cd61 by flow cytometry method and also measuring the overall platelet procoagulant activity status using platelet factor 3 (pf3) assay. materials and methods: six random units of conventional platelet concent...

the different factors such as harvest time, product handling, temperature and storage duration can be influenced on the different properties of citrus fruits and has considerable economic consequences. therefore a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 3 replications was performed to evaluate the effects of harvest times (start of color change, 50% of color change and f...

in a large scale cyclic storage system ,as the number of rule parameters and/or number of operating period increase, general purpose gradient-based nlp solvers and/or genetic algorithms may loose their merits in finding optimally feasible solution to the problem. in these cases hybrid ga which decomposes the main problem into two manageable sub-problems with an iterative scheme between ga and l...

storage conditions influence quality of gladiolus corms which thereby affects qualityof flowers. in the present study, the effects of pre-storage curing and differenttemperature conditions on corm germination and various vegetative and reproductivegrowth parameters of gladiolus grandiflorus cv. white prosperity and gladiolusgrandiflorus cv. ruse supreme were studied. application of pre-storage ...

The effect of vacuum packing on the shelf-life of sausages produced from Capoeta umbla were investigated during storage periods. For this purpose, microbial, chemical and sensory changes were analyzed throughout the storage time. The microbial flora of the sausages comprised mainly mesophilic bacteria, psychrotrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeast and molds. Escherichia coli, Staphylcocc...
