Accepted: 21/03/2014 Abstract Enzymes are an integral component of modern fruit juice manufacturing processes. Their main functions are to: increase extraction of juice from raw material, increase processing efficiency (pressing, solid settling or removal), and generate a final product that is clear and visually attractive. Juice extraction can be done by using various mechanical processes, whi...

Pre-cooling is an important step in the post-harvest management of fresh produces. This study was initiated to evaluate effect hydro and cold room pre-cooling on cooling kinetics quality parameters for amla. Amla fruits were cooled using immersion method chlorinated water (200 ppm) at 3, 5, 8℃ temperatures, while Cold Room (CR) done a display-type refrigerator 6℃. Comparative showed highest rat...

The multilocational studies were conducted to evaluate 21 hybrids of tomato in Pratapgarh(Uttar Pradesh), Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) and Burdwan (West Bengal), India during August–February 2015–16 2016–17. Data on four quality traits viz., total soluble solids, titrable acidity, carotene content lycopene estimated. Combined analysis variance (ANOVA) revealed significant effects locations, genotyp...

The objective of this research project was to ascertain the hygiene quality and some physicochemical properties of milk obtained from mares of the Wielkopolska breed at different periods of lactation. Colostrum and milk for analyses were collected on days: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of lactation and afterwards at 15-day intervals up to day 150 of lactation. A significant influence of lactation on levels ...

The objective of this research was to investigate the potential of mid-infrared (MIR) analysis of milk to provide indicators of the udder health status of dairy cows. Mastitis data collected in 49 Walloon herds were merged with test-day data including milk composition and MIR spectra. A total of 1987 healthy lactation and 3204 lactations with at least one mastitis, clinical or sub-clinical, chr...

The effect of two extraction methods of pomegranate juice on its quality and stability was evaluated. The first method consisted of separation of the seeds from fruits and centrifugation. The second method consisted of squeezing fruit halves with an electric lemon squeezer. During a period of 72 hours of cold storage at $4^\circ$ C, the juices were evaluated for the presence of sugars, organic ...

This study aimed to clarify the ability of the buffer systems of saliva to inhibit enamel demineralization after intake of an acid beverage. In the first experiment, titrable acidity tests were carried out. Ten milliliters of saliva stimulated by chewing gum base was obtained from 10 healthy adult subjects and the pH of each saliva sample was measured. The beverages used for the experiment were...

in this study, modified starch was used as a fat replacer in the milk. the fat replacer was manufactured from modified starch such as pre-gelatinized and cross–linked starches. modified starches were manufactured by hydrochloric acid and citric acid treatments from potato and wheat and were added to skim milk at concentrations of 0.15%, 0.30% and 0.45%. viscosity, total solid, fat content, titr...

Tomato belongs to the family, Solanaceae and genus Lycopersicon, is considered as one of best healthy foods in world due its rich source vitamin B phyto-nutrients abundant carotenoids lycopene. There has not been alternative means preservation asides refrigeration fast ripening disorder sets reduce shelf life level calcium potassium reduces during these processes. Post-harvest waxing proved be ...
