<p>Black raspberries (<italic>Rubus</italic> sp.) are abundantly grown and distributed widely in temperate regions of Pakistan which shows rich plant diversity fruit species. In this study wildly black raspberry fruits were harvested from Rawalakot at three different maturity stages investigated for physical, biochemical antioxidant properties. Random samples wild each stage [turning (75% red, 25% green), full red (100% red), black)] stored room temperature (22 ± 2 ℃, 46%...
Summary The effects of chlorine (200 μL L −1 ), ozonated water (1 ) and gaseous ozone (0.7 on physicochemical attributes microbial quality minimally processed red bell peppers were studied. In all the experiments, O 2 continuously decreased CO concentration increased, pH augmented a significant softening was observed in fruits. By day 14, * values fruits, with greatest changes found chlorinated samples (approximately 12 units). Peppers treated aqueous solutions showed greater increasing...
Lycopene is usually extracted from the by-product of tomato industry using organic solvents (OS) in combination with a physical technique. An emerging technique high-pressure processing (HPP). This study aims to find method by applying green solvent (edible vegetable oils) an HPP-assisted solid-liquid extraction. Three dosages (10%, 20%, and 40%, w/v) were tested OS, sunflower oil (RSO), extra-virgin olive (EVOO). recovery increased ratio oil, particularly when EVOO. In another stage study,...
Fertilization, either in the form of organic or inorganic, always affects plant growth, yield, and nutritional quality fruit crops. Further, efficacy fertilizers depends on various factors, including area, climatic conditions, cultivars. Rawalakot has ideal conditions for growing strawberries. However, no studies related to impact different soil amendments growth habit strawberries have been conducted so far. Therefore, this study, combinations (farmyard manure (FYM) poultry (PM)) inorganic...
Andean blackberries are highly perishable due to their susceptibility water loss, softening, mechanical injuries, and postharvest diseases. In this study, the antimicrobial efficacy of gaseous ozone against spoilage (mesophiles, psychrotrophs, yeasts molds) pathogenic (E. coli, S. enterica, B. cinerea) microorganisms was evaluated during 10 days storage at 6 ± 1 °C. Respiration rate mass loss were also determined. Ozone applied prior 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7 ppm, for 3 min. The best results...
Microbial contamination is one of the main causes bell pepper decay during storage. Fresh-cut red peppers were washed with chlorinated water (200 ppm) or treated 0,7 ppm ozone for 1, 3 and 5 minutes. Untreated fruits used as a control. Peppers packaged in air stored at 10°C 14 days. Weight loss, gas composition, pH, colour, firmness microbial quality evaluated. loss was negligible all treatments. O 2 concentration decreased CO levels increased continuously, no differences between treatments...
A new, fresh-like product from ‘Lamuyo’ red bell peppers has been developed by combining partial dehydration and modified atmosphere packaging. The effects of different processing storage conditions on the quality shelf life partially dehydrated were studied. Neither chlorine nor blanching treatments affected product. best results obtained with cut in eight longitudinal strips (2–3 cm width), washed tap water dried for 6 h at 80 °C 10% RH. After this treatment, did not need to be rehydrated...
The effects of mild (250–350 MPa) high hydrostatic pressures (HHP) on the technological properties ovalbumin were studied. Thermal gels prepared using HHP-treated ovalbumin. Their characteristics and efficacy HHP processing to inhibit allergenicity evaluated. samples treated at 250 MPa/15 min, 350 MPa/10 min showed best results for solubility water oil absorption capacities, respectively. Regardless treatment duration, foaming capacity increased with pressure. foam stability only...
One of the main causes bell pepper decay during storage is microbial contamination. Ozone may be an alternative to traditional sanitizers due its high reactivity and spontaneous breakdown into non-toxic products. Fresh-cut red peppers were immersed in ozonated (1 ppm) water for 1, 3 5 min. Tap was used as a control. Pepper strips packaged sealed polypropylene trays air stored at 10°C 14 d. Mass loss, gas composition, pH, colour, firmness quality evaluated. loss negligible all treatments....
Bell peppers demand and consumption have increased in recent years, especially for use as an ingredient of ready-to-eat meals. Fresh-cut red were treated with 0.7 ppm ozone 1, 3 5 min. Untreated fruit used a control. Pepper strips packaged polypropylene trays air stored at 10°C 14 d. Mass loss, gas composition, pH firmness evaluated microbial analyses performed. Colour was measured before immediately after 0 treatment the end storage period. No differences observed between control ozonated...
Andean blackberries are appreciated for their unique flavor, high nutritional quality, and antioxidant properties. In this study, the effectiveness of low doses (0.4; 0.5; 0.6 0.7 µL l-1 3 min) gaseous ozone as an elicitor health-promoting compounds was evaluated during 10 d storage at 6 ± 1 °C. The physicochemical sensory quality fruit also determined. Ozone used in a single application before storage. Initially, regardless dose applied, no negative effects O3 treatments were observed any...
Nuovo Maratelli, a japonica rice with an intermediate amylose-content, is suitable for paella (a traditional Spanish-dish) due to its ability withstand cooking and absorb flavors. In this study, high-pressure processing (HPP) at 400 600 MPa (10 min) was used as pretreatment improve the properties of cooked by either boiling or microwaving. The microstructure pasting unpressurized pressurized were examined. Also, time kinetics determined each method. Overall, not impacted HPP treatments, but...

Propolis is rich in bioactive compounds like phenols and flavonoids, which make it a promising alternative as natural preservative. However, the use of propolis food industry limited due to its strong, characteristic flavor. To overcome this problem, several strategies such combination with other ingredients or microencapsulation have been studied. In work, addition honeydew (no floral honey) to, elimination ethanol from, extract solution were used mitigate sensorial defect. Thus, effect...
