biological reactions of the two-spotted spider mite (tss), tetranychus urticae, were studied on nine cultivars of tomatoes. the spider mites were reared on leaf discs, taken from fruiting stages of the host plants. the effects of feeding on some tomato cultivars, namely: long shelf life, meran (greenhouse cultivars), redclude, western red, imperial, yazd, mazandaran, west azarbaijan and khorasa...

Introduction: Tooth avulsion is defined as the complete displacement of the tooth from its alveolar socket which causes damage to the periodontal ligament structure, cementum, alveolar bone, gingiva, and dental pulp. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of long-shelf life honey milk to serve as a temporary storage medium for the maintenance of periodontal ligament (PDL) cell v...

The flavour profiles of two genotypes of Charentais cantaloupe melons (medium shelf-life and long shelf-life), harvested at two distinct maturities (immature and mature fruit), were investigated. Dynamic headspace extraction (DHE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry/mass spectrometry (GC-O/MS) were used to determine vol...

as milk is a liquid compound, it needs containers at every stages of movement. the first significant development in milk packaging created at the end of nineteenth century. the flavor changes and shelf life of pasteurized milk and ultra pasteurized milk are affected by processing conditions, packaging materials and microbial growth. off-flavor is an effective factor on reduction of milk quality...

dehydration, as one of the practical ways to increase the shelf-life and applicability of yoghurt in various foodstuffs, is normally done by freeze drier (fd) which is an expensive and time-consuming process. for these reasons, in the present study the capability of microwave–vacuum drier (mvd), as an alternative process, was investigated. for doing so, the fat free yoghurt samples of 2.2, 4.2 ...

we examined the effectiveness of intermittent warming (iw), hot water (hw), salicylic acid (sa), and calcium chloride (cacl2) on the postharvest life of pomegranate fruit cv. ‘shishe-kab’ and extending fruit shelf life during cold storage (3°c). fruit were subjected to cycles of 1 d at 17 ± 1°c every 6 d of storage at 3°c under iw conditions. pre-storage treatments were hw (50°c) for 3 min, sa ...

grape is used in large amounts and different types (fresh, raisin, vinegar, molasses, juice, unriped grape and etc). remarkable amount also are preserved in stores and cold-rooms to be supplied out of season, that causes  quality and weight decrease. this research was conducted to study different factors which affect the grape shelf-life. obtaining more information about optimum conditions and ...
