Avocado (Persea Americana Mill.) has gained popularity as a widely produced and consumed fruit worldwide, raising concerns about its storage transportation. The avocado, being climacteric sensitive to chilling injury, faces challenges that affect shelf life commercial viability. This research delves into the effectiveness of edible sodium alginate 2 % (weight/weight, w/w) (SA) carnauba wax 1 (w/w) (CW) coatings, both independently in combination with lemongrass essential oil, + oil 1.25...
The increasing application of pesticides for agricultural purposes involves serious risk to the environment and human health due either exposure or through residues in food drinking water. Since safety is mandatory importance there a growing interest on development selective, simple, rapid, cost-effective reliable analytical methodologies order ensure that should not be found at levels above established maximum pesticide residue limits (MRLs). In recent years, new methodology based...
Abstract In order to evaluate the potential aroma of some Portuguese grapes, several glycosidically bound compounds ten grape varieties grown in Évora, Alentejo, Portugal, were released, identified and quantified using gas chromatography–mass spectrophotometry. White Arinto, Perrum, Rabo‐de‐Ovelha, Roupeiro Antão Vaz. Red Trincadeira, Aragonez, Tinta Caiada, Moreto Castelão. Grapes Trincadeira from five other vines Alentejo region also studied. For each variety pulp skin analyzed separately....
Phenolic acids (gallic, vanillic, syringic and ellagic acids), phenolic aldehydes (vanillin, syringaldehyde, coniferaldehyde sinapaldehyde) furanic derivatives (furfural, 5-methylfurfural 5-hydroxymethylfurfural) were quantified in commercial American French oak chips.Chips with different sizes toast degrees used.Compounds extracted directly from the wood samples order to determine possible differences among woods as well degree.Likewise, compounds a synthetic wine solution which chip had...
