Strategies to reduce microbial risk and improve quality of fresh andprocessed strawberries: A review
(Elsevier, 2019-01-03)
Strawberries are one of the most important fruits in the Mediterranean diet and have been widely investigated for their nutritional and nutraceutical properties. Concern about the safety of fresh and ...
Ultrasound processing alone or in combination with other chemical or physical treatments as a safety and quality preservation strategy of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables: a review
(Springer, 2019-08-12)
Ultrasound (US) processing has emerged as a novel food preservation technology. This strategy has proved antimicrobial effects due to cavitation, which is the formation, growth, and collapse of bubbles ...
Emission of volatile organic compounds during nectarine-Monilinia laxa interaction and its relationship with fruit susceptibility to brown rot
(Elsevier, 2022-06-27)
Fruit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be emitted by stone fruit in response to biotic stress. One of the main fungal diseases of stone fruit is brown rot, caused by species of Monilinia spp. Hence, ...
Impact of fruit bagging and postharvest storage conditions on quality and decay of organic nectarines
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-09-08)
Abiotic factors such as light influence the physicochemical properties of fruit and may alter the response of the fruit to the environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two ...
Effect of storage on total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, and physicochemical properties of blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) jam
(Wiley, 2018-05-24)
This study investigated the effects of storage on the physicochemical and nutritional aspects ofblueberry jam. Jams were stored at either 4, 25, or 358C during a 56-day period. The pH was sig-nificantly ...
Effect of Ultrasound Pre-Treatment on the Physical, Microbiological, and Antioxidant Properties of Calçots
(Springer, 2018-12-03)
The effect of ultrasound (US) treatment (40 kHz, 250 W) for 0, 10, 25 and 45 min on the physical and microbiological quality, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total phenolic content (TPC) of ...
Compatibility interactions between the biocontrol agent Penicillium frequentans Pf909 and other existing strategies to brown rot control
(Elsevier, 2018-11-23)
Background
To improve efficacies achieved through biocontrol agent application, there has been increasing interest in studying the efficacy of biocontrol agent with other existing technologies like ...
Effect of pre-harvest conditions and postharvest storage time on the quality of whole and fresh-cut calçots (Allium cepa L.)
(Elsevier, 2019-01-30)
Pre-harvest conditions such as cultivar, cultivation site and planting time could affect the storability, quality and shelf-life of fruit and vegetables. The influence of onion cultivar, cultivation ...
Defining key parameters and predictive markers of ‘Early Bigi’ cherry consumer satisfaction by means of differential storage scenarios
(Elsevier, 2022-09-28)
To induce differences in sensorial characteristics, ‘Early Bigi’ cherries were exposed to various storage scenarios, including modified atmosphere packaging, 1-methylcyclopropene and methyl jasmonate ...
Ripening behaviour and consumer acceptance of ‘Conference’ pears during shelf life after long term DCA-storage
(Elsevier, 2019-05-27)
With the increasing demand for ready to eat fruit, understanding how pear quality evolves during shelf life (SL) is of paramount importance for retailers. Accordingly, the relationships between ...
