Fresh-cut foods have become highly popular as these commodities are convenient to manage with premium freshness and quality. However, the shelf life of fresh-cut potatoes is limited. The traditional practice consists a set operations including washing, peeling, slicing, chemical treatment, packing, storage. Besides, various or synthetic additives being applied tackle quality-related issues such browning, textural degradation, microbial spoilage, shelf-life stability. Nevertheless, demand for...
Fresh-cut fruits and vegetables refer to edible commodities that are free from large-scale typical traditional processing operations. However, maintaining their nutritional value microbiological integrity is challenging. The operations such as peeling, cutting, trimming done in the fresh-cut industry can trigger deteriorative reactions tissue softening enzymatic browning. As a countermeasure, cold plasma technology has emerged an innovation for minimal of several foods including produce....
Preventing disease incidence in soft fruit post-harvest presents a substantial challenge. This study examines traditional methods and emerging technologies employed to address this issue. Conventional approaches typically regulate ripening pathogen proliferation through low-temperature storage modified atmosphere techniques. Various methodologies such as irradiation, brief heat treatments, chemical applications (e.g., calcium, 1-Methylcyclopropene, nitric oxide). Physical like treatments...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, leading cause of bone-related disabilities affecting the quality life huge segment global population. To eradicate this problem, non-pharmacological treatments like diet and lifestyle modification (weight loss, Tai chi, cupping therapy, kinesio taping, ultrasound whole-body vibration, low-level laser manual electrotherapy, mudpack moxibustion) are effective along with medical treatments. Nowadays, these preventive therapeutic remedies...
