Natural fermentation of shredded carrots using two types of carrots (red and crimson coloured) was carried out with 3% salt and 4% mustard powder. The viable number of microorganisms was determined at various time intervals on four different types of media viz. De Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS), Nutrient agar, Yeast extract peptone dextrose agar (YEPDA) and Acetobacter medium. The viable number of cel...

Carotenoids are red, orange and yellow pigments, which are widely distributed in fruit and vegetables. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of conventional, high pressure and microwave cooking on the concentrations of β-carotene in carrot and sweet corn. Raw carrots were washed, peeled and diced to a uniform size and then frozen at -70°C. Sweet corn was also provided in a simil...

The application of postharvest abiotic stresses is an effective strategy to activate the primary and secondary metabolism of plants inducing the accumulation of antioxidant phenolic compounds. In the present study, the effect of water stress applied alone and in combination with wounding stress on the activation of primary (shikimic acid) and secondary (phenylpropanoid) metabolic pathways relat...

Crown-gall tumor cells induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Sm. and Town.) Conn develop from normal plant cells by the action on them, in sequence, of several causal factors.1 Inoculations of susceptible species frequently result in fairly uniform tumors in 100 per cent of the trials. Inoculations of other plant species are not always successful or may result in tumors showing considerable siz...

This paper shows how multispectral images can be used to assess color change over time in wok fried vegetables. We present results where feature selection was performed with sparse methods from the multispectral images to detect the color changes of wok fried carrots and celeriac stored at +5°C over 14 days. A pairwise t-test was used to detect if the differences over days were significant. For...

ABSTRACT In Brazil, carrots are usually grown in beds 30 cm heigh and 1 to 1.8 width. Although widely used, these present problems regarding cultural practices disease management, especially spring/summer seeding. The aim of this study was compare the agronomic performance carrot cultivars summer cultivation bed ridge. Ten were evaluated two experiments strips (bed ridge), a randomized complete...
