Salad savoy (Brassica oleracea L.) is a vegetable crop that is becoming a valued addition to fresh-cut salad mixes. This study was conducted to develop a modified atmosphere packaging system for fresh-cut salad savoy and to evaluate the effect of film oxygen transmission rate (OTR) on package atmospheres, and consequently product quality changes during storage. Two varieties of salad savoy (whi...

Flavor deterioration of salad dressings was investigated to determine the effect of hydrogenation of the oil. additives and storage conditions. Flavor quality tests were developed and correlated with gas chromatographic analyses of volatile compounds in oils separated from the dressings. Hydrogenation of soybean oil with copper and nickel catalysts effectively increased the storage stability of...

Seafood salad has been identified as a ready-to-eat food with a relatively high incidence of contamination by Listeria monocytogenes; however, little is known about the behavior of this pathogen in seafood salad as a function of product pH and storage temperature. To produce data towards the development of a predictive growth model, a 6-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes was inoculated onto th...

Detection and early intervention of salad leaf related disease is a challenging problem for the salad-growing farmers with severe economic consequences. Sudden change in environmental condition, extreme weather condition, such as hail storm, high wind, very low temperature with humid condition or severe solar radiation can cause a series of scenarios, which can cause different diseases in salad...

This work examines the feasibility of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) time-of-flight (TOF) in conjunction with LC/MSD ion trap to analyze chloronicotinyl insecticides: acetamiprid, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid, in four salad vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, and cucumbers. Included in this report are the LC/MSD TOF and LC/MSD Trap spectra of the three chloronicotinyl inse...

Proteins often have several motifs with distinct evolutionary histories. Proteins with similar motifs have similar biochemical properties and thus related biological functions. We constructed a unique comparative genomics database termed the SALAD database (http://salad.dna.affrc.go.jp/salad/) from plant-genome-based proteome data sets. We extracted evolutionarily conserved motifs by MEME softw...

Paul Erdős liked fruit salad. I mixed this one for him from ingredients obtained while working on some of his problems. He was pleased by it and carried it to several places to offer to others as well. It is very sad that I have to add to the manuscript: dedicated to his memory. 1. Nearly bipartite graphs. Szentendre, 1994. Although we are in the shade, the summer afternoon is very hot, the wat...

Everyone knows that the best part about hitting the salad bar is having free reign over all the toppings! As you?ve described, when it comes to protein toppings for your salads, there?s a long list of options. Though, with so many options to choose from, it can be difficult to decide which ones are the most nutritious. Ultimately, the ?best? protein to add to your salad is the one that will sat...
