the effects of pasteurization, storage time and temperature on proteolysis of milk were evaluated. two replicates of each of raw and pasteurized milk were assigned to three temperatures (5, 16 and 25 ?c) and 3 storage periods (1, 2 and 3 day) in a 2×3×3 full factorial design. for all the samples, ph and indices of proteolysis were determined. the effect of all the three main factors (pasteuriza...

the effects of different concentrations of salicylic acid as compared with control and as well with distilled water treatment were assessed on induction of resistance to chilling injury and quality of sweet lemon during its storage. for the purpose, sweet lemon fruits were treated by immersion method for 5 minutes in salicylic acid (200,400 and 600 mg/lit) and then packed in polyethylene bags t...

The effects of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based film with inorganic antimicrobial nano-TiO₂ and nano-Ag on the physicochemical and microbial quality of Tremella aurantialba stored at 4 ± 1 °C for 16 days was investigated. Rosemary essential oil (REO, 9 wt %) was added into PLA film as plasticizer. Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and PLA film was used as the controls. The experiment measured physic...

the harvest date more influenced on postharvest quality during storage. in present study, fruits were harvested at four date base on total soluble solids content (5.5, 6.5, 7.5, and 8.5%) and then stored at 0.5 ºc and 80-90% rh, for 18 weeks. the samples were taken in 6th, 12th and 18th interval weeks and evaluated some parameters including weightless, losses, firmness, tss, ta, tss/ta, ascorbi...

an investigation was carried out to study the effect of sole heat treatment and sole 1- methyl cyclo propine (1- mcp) as well as in combination on storage quality of strawberries. the factorial experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design of three replications. treatments included heat treatment at two levels (room teperature, 45°c for 3h) and 1- mcp at two levels (0, 1µl l-1)....

kiwifruit softening and the spread of gray mold on the fruit are the most important factors to be considered in kiwifruit storage life. in this study, the effect of calcium chloride (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 percent) for 2, 4 and 8 minutes of dipping time were examined to improve the fruit physicochemical characteristics. following fruits being dried (24 hours), they were stored at 0.5oc and 85-90% rh ...

decline in postharvest losses of kiwifruit depended to maintain of quality characteristics during storage and transportation. storage losses caused serious economic losses in kiwifruit. this study was conducted to inhibition of pathogen infection and increasing fruit quality of kiwifruit. hayward kiwifruits inoculated by b.cinerea conidia through pore wounds which formed by removal of the pedic...
