Fresh-cut leafy vegetable has an image as a healthy, nutritious, and delicious product. However, the product still faces challenge of quality retention short shelf life, especially in tropical climate regions. Enzymatic browning fresh-cut vegetables is considered one most important attributes limiting life The hurdle approach using commercial vacuum precooling combination with modified atmosphe...

Fresh-cut fruits have been in great demand by consumers owing to the convenience of buying them shopping centers as ready-to-eat products, and various advantages, such fact that they are healthy fresh products. However, their shelf lives brief due physiological changes maturation. Therefore, this review includes information from physicochemical, microbiological, nutritional, sensory points view...

In the fresh produce industry, corrugated containers must be made to provide adequate protection throughout the product life cycle. In response to increasing materials costs in the corrugated industry, companies are focusing upon developing more efficient packaging designs. The scope of this project focuses on presenting alternative corrugated packaging designs for the fresh produce industry. I...

Various situations in computer science call for categories that support both cartesian closed and monoidal closed structure. Such situations include (i) models of local state, where the monoidal product describes disjointness of memory, and (ii) treatment of fresh names, as required in models of the π-calculus. I propose a technique to embed the two closed structures into one single structure. ...

Background: The short life time of human platelet units has led to a chronic shortage of fresh platelets in blood transfusion centers. Many approaches have been investigated experimentally to produce new hemostatically active platelet products that are capable of long term storage. Infusible platelet membrane (IPM) prepared from fresh or outdated human platelets have been developed as an altern...

Salinity is one of the most important limiting factors for growth and product of plants around the world. Identification of salt tolerant varieties and improvement of plants tolerance are the most effective way to increase its performance. Experiments were conducted in a hydroponic system in order to study the reaction of borage (Borago officinalis L.) to salinity in terms of developmental chan...

The product to be handled in a refrigerated facility defines the building's function. Will the incoming product be fresh or frozen? If the product is fresh, how much and what kind of further processing will there be done in the facility? This consideration will define the need for ice production and handling, special cutting, portioning, or other processing and/or cooking machinery. Will the fu...

Purpose of review: Enzymatic browning of fruits and vegetables during postharvest handling and processing degrades the sensory properties and nutritional value and discourages consumer purchase of fresh-cut products. Consequently, enzymatic browning results in significant economic losses for the fresh produce industry. This paper discusses the biochemistry of enzymatic browning, and focuses on ...

L-Tryptophan (tryptophan) is an essential amino acid in humans. It has important roles as a precursor of different bioactive compounds. Based on previous studies in which tryptophan has been shown to be present in fresh cherries, the aim of the present work was to analyze the tryptophan content of a Jerte Valley cherry-based product. A previously optimized method of analysis of tryptophan was u...
