Food bioactive packaging has received increasing attention from consumers and the food industry for its potential to reduce waste environmental issues. Several materials can be used produce edible films/coats; however, bio-based, cost-effective, sustainable coatings have gained a high reputation these days. For instance, Aloe vera gel (AV) is promising bio-based material films; therefore, present study aimed investigate film-forming abilities of AV Chitosan (CH) combination as active...

Abstract The effects of ultraviolet (UV‐C) and medium heat (70 °C) treatments on the quality fresh‐cut Chokanan mango Josephine pineapple were investigated. Quality attributes included physicochemical properties (pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids), ascorbic acid content (vitamin C), antioxidant activity, as well microbial inactivation. Consumers’ acceptance was also investigated through sensory evaluation (appearance, texture, aroma taste). Furthermore, shelf‐life study samples...

The growing demand for fresh-like food products has encouraged the development of hurdle technology non-thermal processing. In this study, freshly squeezed Chokanan mango juice was treated by paired combinations sonication (for 15 and 30 min at 25 ℃, 40 kHz frequency) UV-C treatment ℃). Selected physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities, microbial inactivation other quality parameters combined were compared to conventional thermal (at 90 ℃ 60 s). After treatment, no significant...

Cherry tomatoes are climacteric fruits that have a limited shelf life. Over the years, many methods been applied to preserve fruit quality and safety of these fruits. In this study, novel method combining mucilage from dragon UV-C irradiation was carried out. were subjected edible coating, both as stand-alone hurdle treatment. The coating prepared white Quality parameters including color, weight loss, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, antioxidant analysis (total...

Abstract Fusarium infection of bananas is a global problem that threatens the production bananas. This study looks at effects upon reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) system, as well induced antioxidant properties in roots, stems, leaves and fruits. Results show there greater amount damage infected tissue samples opposed to non‐infected. The was observed be higher root samples. assays were divided into two classes: ‐scavenging assays. Of assays, lipoxygenase samples, while peroxidase (POD)...

Piper betle leaf powder is increasingly utilised as a health supplement. In this study, P. leaves were subjected to four different drying methods: convective air-drying, oven-drying, sun-drying, and no drying, with fresh control. Their antioxidant properties then evaluated using colourimetric assays GC-MS. Results showed that the sun-dried had highest (p < 0.05) total capacity (66.23 ± 0.10 mg AAE/g), polyphenol content (133.93 3.76 GAE/g), flavonoid (81.25 3.26 CE/g) DPPH radical...

Postharvest treatments of fruits using techniques such as ultraviolet-C have been linked with maintenance the fruit quality well shelf-life extension. However, effects this treatment on a proteomic level remain unclear. This study was conducted in order to understand response mango postharvest UV-C irradiation.Approximately 380 reproducible spots were detected following two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Through analysis, 24 observed be differentially expressed treated and 20 successfully...

Abstract Tempe is a processed food, produced by fermenting soybeans with fungus Rhizopus oligosporus . In this study, the effects of soybean processing (soaking, cooking and fermentation) packaging (food grade wrapping paper, polyethylene bags low density cling wrap) on physicochemical properties, antioxidant activities microbial count were evaluated. addition, shelf life study tempe samples (packed) was conducted for 1 week. Soaking significantly decreased polyphenols, flavonoids soybeans....

Drying kinetics of Malaysian Moringa oleifera leaves was investigated using a convective-air dryer. The drying parameters were: temperature (40, 50, 60, 70 °C), air velocity (1.3 m s–1, 1.7 s–1). process took place in the falling rate period and there an absence constant this experiment. Six mathematical models (Lewis, Henderson Pabis, Wang Singh, Peleg, Page, logarithmic) were selected for description characteristics leaves. Singh model determined as best based on highest overall...

Abstract Silver nanoparticles arose as a new weapon in the development of green synthesis these using diverse natural resources such plant leaf, microorganisms, and fruit extracts. Biosynthesis approach by waste materials from is widely used it proven to be environmentally cost friendly method. This study aims identify impact temperature pH on antioxidant activities silver fabricated pineapple ( Ananas comosus ) peel extract. Different (70°C, 80°C 90°C) (7, 8 9) have been tested samples...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have seen an elevated use in clinical works like regenerative medicine. Its potential therapeutic properties increases when used tandem with complementary agents bio-based materials. Therefore, the present study is first to investigate cytotoxicity of a highly valued medicinal plant, Moringa oleifera , on human Wharton’s Jelly mesenchymal (hWJMSCs) and its effects cells’ gene expression as pre-treatment agent vitro . M leaves (MOL) were dried subjected...

However, current methods that are used in the processing of juice products, such as thermal treatments, has been reported significantly reduces nutritional quality. UV-C treatment is an alternative method could extend shelf life well maintain quality juice. In this study, attributes blend upon exposure to ultraviolet light and were studied. Freshly squeezed orange, carrot celery was exposed (for 15, 30, 60 minutes) pasteurization (at 90°C, for 30 s s). Microbial analysis, physicochemical...

The recent COVID-19 pandemic resulted in major postharvest losses because most fresh produce could not be sold. Drying is an important thermal-based food preservation method which have prolonged the shelf-life of these produce, but drying technologies are costly, and cannot afforded by small-time farmers. From this context, we were interested evaluating Moringa oleifera leaves (MOL) using a low-cost self-built prototype convective-air dryer (CAD), alongside conventional methods for its...

Papaya fruit (Carica papaya L.) is one of the most widely farmed fruits in Malaysia, and produced for domestic consumption exported worldwide. susceptible to anthracnose, a fungal infection caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides that negatively affects quality shelf-life. The common disease control approach utilises fungicides such as prochloraz postharvest application. However, public concerns regarding health risks fungicide residue on food have created interest safer greener...

Fusarium wilt is one of the most common destructive banana diseases which causes great losses to global production. Berangan banana, known be very susceptible towards this disease greatly affected.
