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...
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...
The immobilization of cross-linked tannase onto carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) was achieved via physical adsorption. Glutaraldehyde used to cross-link the enzyme molecules. Spectroscopic and morphological characterizations enzyme-nanotubes composite were carried out, which authenticated successful adsorption event. Enzyme is proven equal to, or even superior than free tannase, in terms catalytic activities stabilities, when measured under different...
