BACKGROUND Most children do not meet the recommendation for fruit consumption. Apples are the second most commonly consumed fruit in the US; however, no studies have examined the association of total apple products, apples, apple sauce, and 100 % apple juice consumption on diet quality and weight/adiposity in children. METHODS The purpose of this study was to examine the association between v...

Solid and liquid ba~ts were tested for the delivery the latter may be more useful because consumption can be of drugs to white-tailed deer. The solid bait was comprised measured directly, ingestion by nontarget animals is of a mineral block paired with apple, peanut butter, or acorn minimized, and bait degradation by weathering is reduced. extract. The liquid bait was comprised of water, apple ...

Pectinase is used commercially in the clarification and extraction of fruit juice from different fruits. Green apples and Red apples obtained from the fruits section of a supermarket, Idiroko road, Ota were surface sterilized and inoculated with Aspergillus niger. The stock culture was subcultured on Sabouraud Dextrose agar plates and 72-hr-old culture of Aspergillus niger served as the inoculu...

The variety of the raw fruit is important for quality and authenticity juice. To classify apple juice according to geographical origin, fluorescent spectroscopy was applied detect partial least squared (PLS) method used analyze spectra determine apple. Totally, 89 samples two varieties from Yunnan Xi’an were demonstrate effectiveness method. model built with 62 in training dataset. rest 27 vali...

A combination of immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (A. acidoterrestris) in apple juice. The optimum technological parameters of the IMS system were investigated. The results indicated that the immunocapture reactions could be finished in 60 min and the quantity of IMPs used for IMS was 2.5 mg/mL. Then the comb...

Polyphenolics and sugar are the components of many fruit juices. In this work, the performance of ultra-filtration (UF) for separating phenolic compounds from apple juice was studied by performing batch experiments in a membrane module with an area of 0.1 m and fitted with a regenerated cellulose membrane of 1 kDa MWCO. The effects of various operating conditions: transmembrane pressure (3, 4, ...

A method for the determination of metolcarb and diethofencarb in apples and apple juice is developed using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The experimental conditions of SPME, such as the kind of extraction fiber, extraction time, stirring rate, pH of the extracting solution, and desorption conditions are optimized. The SPME is perf...

Pathogenic Escherichia coli O157:H7, as well as nonpathogenic strains ATCC 11775 and ATCC 23716, grew exponentially in wounds on Golden Delicious apple fruit. The exponential growth occurred over a longer time period on fruit inoculated with a lower concentration of the bacterium than on fruit inoculated with a higher concentration. The bacterium reached the maximum population supported in the ...

Fourier Transform mid-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-MIR) shared with multivariate statistics was applied for the quantitative analysis of total sugar in 9 processed commercial fruit juices. PLSR (Partial least-squares regression) was used to generate calibration models that were cross-validated. As an analytical technique, the suitability of FTIR in mid-range (4000-1cm-4001cm) is investigates in th...
