Kinnow (Citrus nobilis × Citrus deliciosa L.) is a widely grown Citrus species known for its high quality fruit juice with good storage life. The present investigation is concerned with the enhancement of shelf-life of Kinnow fruit juice through refrigeration storage and addition of preservatives. Fruit juice was prepared from fruits harvested at complete physiological maturity and potassium me...

Cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) fruit is a berry with a tasty pulp full of seeds that constitutes about 10-15% of the edible pulp. In Mexico, cactus pear is mainly consumed fresh, but also has the potential to be processed in other products such as juice. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different ultrasound conditions at amplitude levels ranging (40% and 60% for 10,...

selecting within local pomegranate accessions is the main method used to identify new cultivars. total of 76 pomegranate accessions from hatay, turkey, were collected and their morpho-pomological and chemical characteristics were determined. the results showed that there was significant diversity among the accessions in terms of fruit quality parameters. several accessions were notable for thei...

the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of various treatments with filter-aids on pomegranate juice quality. the pomegranate used in this study was malas variety. different treatments in cold clarification method attempted were pectolitic enzyme, pectolitic enzyme-gelatin-bentonit, pectolitic enzyme-gelatin-silica sol, pectolitic enzyme-gelatin-bentonit-silica sol, gelatin-benton...

A water melon: pineapple juice has been produced in a ratio 9:1 respectively. However, its biochemical changes on storage to establish its keeping quality is yet to be establish and so this research work is on the biochemical changes accompanying water melon-pineapple juice blends during storage for establishing the storage life. Samples of water melonpineapple juice in 9:1 ratio respectively w...

Heat stress is an effective factor on immune responses, body weight, egg production and egg quality of chickens. The major effect of heat stress is due to decreased food intake and alteration in acid-base balance. During the recent years, efforts to improve laying performance at high temperatures have been relatively successful. Supplementation of the diet or drinking water with special nutrien...

The peel volatile constituents and juice quality parameters of four tangerine cultivars were investigated in this study. Peel flavor constituents were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. Then all analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Total soluble solids, total acids, pH value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from tangerine cultivars. F...
