today, in parallel to growing in acceptance of functional products, various additives are used to improve the characteristics of functional food products. the coenzyme q10 plays a vital role in cellular energy production. it also increases the body's immune system via its antioxidant activity. the aim of this study was to evaluate the addition of coenzyme q10 on physicochemical properties of or...

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...

Background: Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a key spoilage causing bacterium commonly found in fruit juices and purees. Commercial real-time PCR based assays to detect this organism are available, but reportedly require 48 hours of enrichment for detection. The underlying hypothesis of this study was that fruit juice and puree characteristics influence the enrichment requirements of this or...

nitrogen is one of the most important and essential lelments for plant growth and development and it has an important role on quantitative and qualitative yield production in agriculture. this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of foliar application of nitrogen on qualitative traits of tomato fruits using a completely randomized design with five treatments and four replications under...

Polygalacturonase and α-amylase play vital role in fruit juice industry. In the present study, polygalacturonase was produced by Aspergillus awamori Nakazawa MTCC 6652 utilizing apple pomace and mosambi orange (Citrus sinensis var mosambi) peels as solid substrate whereas, α-amylase was produced from A. oryzae (IFO-30103) using wheat bran by solid state fermentation (SSF) process. These carbohy...

iran is the center of origin as well as variation for pomegranate (punica granatum l.). also, iran is one of the most important countries in the world in terms of pomegranate culture and production. monitoring morphological and physiological changes which occur during fruit growth and development is an important determining in orchard management decisions. the aim of the present research was to...

The study aims to investigate the effect of repetitive ultraviolet irradiation (UV–UV) and the combination effect with dimethyl dicarbonate (UV–DMDC–UV) on the physico-chemical properties and microbiological stability of pineapple juice. UV dosages of 10.76 mJ/cm2 percycle and 250 ppm of DMDC were used. There was a significant decrease in turbidity, total phenolic and vitamin C in the treated j...

Ultraviolet (UV-C at 253.7 nm) technology has been the go-to alternative pasteurization and shelf-life extension treatment for beverages for the last two decades. It has been the focal point of non-thermal methods for fruit juice processing and has been studied extensively. UV-C technology has been proven to produce microbiologically safe products with minimal negative impact towards quality of...

Apple juice, for its sensory and nutritional qualities, is consumed by people of all ages. Apples are an excellent source of several phenolic compounds and the presence of polyphenols is recognized for their health promoting antioxidant properties. Thermal pasteurization of fruit juices is the conventional method used for their preservation. Therefore, this constitutes the most extensively avai...
