This study aimed to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical properties of grey oyster mushroom during storage (day 0, 3, 6, 9, 12) at 4 °C 25 °C. The microbial quality safety analyses were aerobic plate count (APC), yeast mould count, Escherichia coli Bacillus cereus Listeria monocytogenes while pH, water activity, colour, firmness. Grey stored showed increasing trend in all counts. A ...

Plots of 19 clones of strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa Duch.) were planted in 1996. Fruit of 16 clones were harvested in 1997 and fruit of 11 of the same clones plus three additional clones in 1998. Individual plots were harvested on three or four dates in 1997 and from three to seven dates in 1998. Fruit firmness was determined with a penetrometer at harvest, and additional samples were processe...

the mode of heat and mass transfer during baking of bakery products is an important factor determining the quality of the final product. the heating rate could alter the starch properties during gelatinization and affect the quality of products after baking and during aging. sangak is a kind of iranian flat bread baked on the hot pebble gravels. the aim of this study was to evaluate the impacts...

Recently a large number of tests and experiments have been done to evaluate the effects of their impact on agricultural products using high techniques like, vibration (acoustic, ultrasonic and sonic response).Some modification methods have been applied to impact probe and signal conditioning to improve the firmness prediction performance and reduce the potential for bruising. The inspection of ...

BACKGROUND Environmental factors impact the skin aging resulting in decrease of skin radiance. Nutrition and particularly antioxidants could help to fight against skin degradation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an oral supplement rich in specific antioxidants, SkinAx2TM, on the improvement of the skin radiance in women. METHODS The open-label clinical study ...

Edible coatings (EC) with mucilage of Opuntia ficus-indica or Aloe arborescens are promising to extend the shelf life fresh-cut fruit products by reducing weight loss and microbial spoilage. In this work, kiwifruits (cv. Hayward) were coated in solutions extracted from (MC) A. (AL). We used three alternative treatments AL MC, MC+AL, distilled water as control, stored passive atmosphere at 5 °C ...

in order to evaluate the effect of water stress on fruit quality and quantity of some iranian melons, the experiment was set out in a split plot design with three replicates in research filed of university of zanjan in 2014. treatments consisted arrangement of three irrigation levels (starting irrigation at 100, 66 and 33 etc) and 11 genotypes of iranian melons (ʼkhatouniʻ, ʼkaliʻ, ʼorshangʻ, ʼ...

Ripening reactions in pears (Pyrus communis L.) were differentially affected by an aminoethoxy analog of rhizobitoxine (l-2-amino-4-[2-aminoethoxy]-trans-3-butenoic acid) (AAR). Ethylene production of both ;Anjou' and ;Bartlett' pears was inhibited by AAR. Decrease in firmness, increase in protein N and soluble pectin were delayed by AAR in ;Anjou' but not in ;Bartlett' pears. While loss in mal...
