the effects of different stages of maturity (mature green, until 20 to 40% of change in color), two treatments of cool water (5 ?c for 5' and 10 ?c for 15min.), two treatments of hot water (50 ?c for 15 min. and 55 ?c for 5 min.) ), two temperatures (10 and 14 °c) of storage vs. six time periods (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 days) on shelf life and storage time of ‘langra’ mango fruit were stud...

In cloud storage systems, replica is a key technology, which reduces access time lag, network bandwidth consumption and system unreliability. However, an inadequate replica consistency management mechanism would cause problems for cloud storage systems in the time lag of file access and network bandwidth consumption. Therefore, this paper proposes a self-adaptive replica consistency strategy wh...

effect of different ratios of sucrose to fruit concentrate (orange and sour cherry), level of cacl2 (0-2%) and storage time (0-90 days) on physicochemical properties of candied apples were investigated using of a combined design. different quality indices such as total sugars content, ascorbic acid, color attribute (chroma) and overall acceptance were modeled and then multiobjective optimizatio...

physical properties are often required for designing post harvest handling and processing equipment for agricultural products. persimmon (khormandy cultivar) is rich in vitamin a, calcium, potassium, tannic acid and antioxidant phenolic compounds. in this study changes in the physical properties of persimmon fruit during storage were studied. properties such as fruit dimensions, mass, geometric...

Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...

Roasted pistachios are among the most delicious nuts in the world. In addition to their pleasant taste, they have significant nutritional and antioxidant effects. This study aims to evaluate the nutritional, sensory, color, and texture attributes of roasted pistachio nuts using fixed and rotary methods at 160 °C during three storage times of 0, 3, and 6 months, at the ambient temperature (20±2°...

interaction of menthol with polyethylene terephthalate bottles during storage time was tested at three different temperatures. menthol is a mint flavor agent added to yogurt drinks in iran and is considered as a factor affecting consumer acceptance. absorption of menthol to packaging material could cause a loss of quality in the final product due to diminished flavor intensity. tests were done ...
