irradiation is known to inhibit waste in stored garlic. treatment time and optimum irradiation dosage are two key factors in achieving the least waste in this process. these two factors were investigated on white ecotype bulbs from hamedan, iran that were irradiated after harvest for 30 and 45 days using fast electrons at dosages of 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150 gy. different properties of the ga...

this study evaluated the antibacterial and antioxidant effects of tamarind water solution on shelf life of silver carp ( hypophthalmicthys molitrix ) fillet during refrigerator storage. treatments of this study were unwashed samples (control), and samples washed with 1% and 2% tamarind water solution. microbial, physicochemical and sensory analysis including total viable count (tvc), peroxide v...

apricot is climacteric and its ripening process is regulated by ethylene, therefore, inhibiting ethylene biosynthesis or action should slow the ripening process. this study was conducted to decrease materials losses and increase storage life of fruit by proper packaging. different packaging (polyethylene film, polyethylene film with ethylene absorbent, shrink pack and control) were used. after ...

the effect of different storage temperatures on senescence and postharvest performance in cut scapes of three iris species (iris germanica, iris reticulata and iris kashmiriana) was studied with the aim to develop a cost-effective storage protocol so as to bring out the transportation of these cut flowers. the scapes were subjected to two different storage treatments-dry storage and wet storage...

the pomegranate fruits of cvs. malas yazdi and malas ashkezar were immersed in sa (1 and 2 mm from source of acytyl salicylic acid) for five minutes, in ja (0.3 and 0.4 mm from source of n-propyl dihydrojasmonate) for fifteen minutes, in cacl2 (1 and 2%) for five minutes, and in distilled water for five minutes as control. then, the fruits were stored in cold storage at 1.5±0.5ºc and 85±5% rela...

The effect of vacuum packing on the shelf-life of sausages produced from Capoeta umbla were investigated during storage periods. For this purpose, microbial, chemical and sensory changes were analyzed throughout the storage time. The microbial flora of the sausages comprised mainly mesophilic bacteria, psychrotrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, yeast and molds. Escherichia coli, Staphylcocc...
