Experiments conducted using response surface methodology as well uncoated samples stored at ambient refrigerated conditions. Various quality parameters of button measured. Results indicated that...

The developed modified atmosphere storage (MAS) system has increased the shelf life of Guava up to 20 and 9 days at 10 °C 25 °C, respectively. This extended period will be very much effective for providing buffer fresh facilitate extra time farmers its marketing. uniquely MAS is helpful on-farm a large scale provide smooth handling transportation retailing

Abstract In the present investigation, experiments were conducted to model rate of apple respiration at various temperatures using enzyme kinetics approach and Arrhenius equation. Thereafter, a governing mathematical based on mass balance concept was developed design modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) system for apple. The equation employed in MAP process verified proved be suitable, as indicated by moduli ( E < 10%). combination biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) polyvinyl chloride...

In recent years, limited research works has been reported on the use of integrated pest management to control insect and pests in stored grain. Management grain insects using essential oils either combination or alone will be great importance as it is economical eco-friendly. Tests were conducted evaluate toxicological impact product beetles wheat chickpea storage, well their influence germination characteristics. The was assessed for fumigant toxicity, mortality, repellent properties,...

Button mushroom were coated by dipping in a coating solution for period of 75s, formulated dissolving combination apple peel powder and CMC into distilled water. A total nine different combinations with three levels concentration (1.0, 1.2 1.4%w/v) (1.2, 1.5 1.8%w/v) used to prepare the solution. To analyse effect materials on physicochemical properties button mushroom, responses like weight loss, shrinkage ratio, water activity, color variation, microbial load free radical scavenging...

Abstract The manual operations involved in the existing batch type soymilk plant reduces overall capacity and quality of due to which, its commercial application is limited. Therefore, objective this research work was optimize performance a continuous extraction by maximizing protein content while minimizing hydroperoxide through manipulation feed rate (kg/h), cooker temperature, pressure, holding time. Four independent variables namely; (10–20 kg/h), temperature (100–120°C), pressure...

Abstract Currently, the modified atmosphere storage (MAS) technique is one of most economical and widely adopted practices used to enhance shelf life fresh produce including mango. The MAS system designed in two ways; called passive other active MAS. Nowadays bulk handling at on‐farm level challenging tasks therefore, using basic principle packaging (MAP) study was aimed develop an system. In this study, design for 100 kg mango, innovative mathematical model developed enzyme kinetics‐based...

Abstract The manual decortication process of charoli seeds by beating the dried on ground with a hand hammer or stone and, domestic grinder is laborious, inefficient, time‐consuming as well uneconomical process. Therefore, an attempt has been taken toward automation decorticator performance was evaluated at three levels disc speeds, clearances, and different moisture seed viz. 197, 246, 286 rpm; 6, 7, 8 mm; 7.83, 8.57; 9.04% wb, respectively. selected input parameters were optimized using...

In developing nations, malnutrition is one of the main factors contributing to child mortality. To tackle this threat, development grain-based, protein-rich, and nutrient-dense extruded foods has been suggested. study, 16 experiments were generated using D-optimal mixture design and, blending ratios ingredients for protein rich snack food optimized. The optimum value independent variables corresponding highest desirability (0.775) was recorded as 25% corn, 23.79% rice 11.21% defatted soy...

The present work aimed to decrease the environmental contamination, which is caused by solid non-degradable plastics waste. To overcome this serious global concern, development, and characterization of a bio-degradable film blending different proportions natural polymers poly lactic acid (PLA) conventional petroleum polymer has been done. In process, PLA was synthesized in lab condensation method polyvinyl chloride (PVC)/PLA blends developed solution casting with without adding...

Modified atmosphere storage (MAS) system was developed under passive as well active conditions for bulk handling and of mango. The mathematical model used in the design process validated found to be appropriate, indicated by moduli (E < 10%). use O2 absorber MAS has extended shelf life mango 3.5 times compared control along with maintaining good quality attributes at end period ambient temperature (27°C). It may due attainment an early dynamic equilibrium CO2 concentrations which were much...

In the present study, a combination of physicochemical maturity indices parameters mango fruit was continuously measured from full bloom stage. Three different harvesting stages were-immature (100th days bloom), mature (110th bloom) and over (120th stages. Thereafter, shelf life quality attributes were assessed by storing at optimum storage temperature (12 °C) ambient (27 °C). It observed that harvested condition could be stored up to 22 6 days, 12 °C 27 °C, respectively. The like total...

Composite flour based noodles were developed by optimizing ingredients and processing conditions using Box-Behnken Design. For optimization, wheat (20–25%), refined (Maida) (40–50%), defatted soy (10–18%) vegetable powder (5–7%) taken as independent variables. process feed moisture content (30–40%, db), steaming time (7–12 min), drying temperature (45–65 °C) (6–8 h) selected input parameters. The optimum values of found to be 20%, 48.54%, 17.39% 6.52% for wheat, powder, respectively. value...
