Abstract:

Abstract Tomato quality is determined by metabolite content which is governed by post-harvest physiological changes. A 30-day full factorial experiment investigated pre-packaging, disinfection and storage temperatures on 18 different biochemical, microbiological, enzymatic and subjective quality attributes of tomato quality. Principal component analysis revealed associations among the variables such as PC1 (28.85%): coliform/enzymatic softening; PC2 (21.52%): free sugars/sweetness; and PC3 (18.20%): sucrose hydrolysis/microbial spoilage/defense metabolites. Discriminant analysis showed that so

Abstract:

Vegetable production in urban gardens of Ouagadougou contributes to food security, but water for irrigation is often of low quality. This is particularly acute if irrigation water is taken from wastewater polluted channels. This study aimed at (i) verifying to what degree irrigation water quality is correlated with contamination of lettuce with Escherichia coli, total coliforms, and Salmonella spp., and (ii) assessing effects of post-harvest handling on pathogen development during the trade chain. We tested pathogen removal efficiency on lettuce by applying post-harvest washing. Irrigation wat

Food irradiation is a process of exposing food to ionising radiation such as gamma rays emitted from the radioisotopes 60Co and 137Cs, or high energy electrons and X-rays produced by machine sources. The use of ionising radiation to destroy harmful biological organisms in food is considered a safe, well proven process that has found many applications. Depending on the absorbed dose of radiation, various effects can be achieved resulting in reduced storage losses, extended shelf life and/or improved microbiological and parasitological safety of foods.

Post-harvest losses of grapes during prolonged storage in refrigerated chambers are mainly associated with dehydration and darkening of stems, wilting of berries and the development of mold. As a result of the physiological processes in the berries, a sufficiently humid environment is created, which contributes to the development of microbiological spoilage. To combat this phenomenon, it is recommended to use natural biodegradable polymers, which prevent the deterioration of quality characteristics by creating a semi-permeable protective barrier.

Considering the high demand of this vegetable, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of using different plastic packages in order to extend the shelf life of the peach palm heart in natura. Stipes were collected from plants grown on family farms located in the municipality of Seropédica-RJ. Stipes were peeled, sanitized and packed at the Post-harvest Laboratory in Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). In this experiment, the f

Doenças pós-colheita estão entre os principais fatores que reduzem a produção da bananeira. Dentre elas a antracnose se destaca. Causada pelo fungo Colletotrichum spp. essa doença interfere na qualidade dos frutos reduzindo seu tempo de prateleira. Como medida de controle a utilização de produtos químicos tem sido a mais utilizada e com isso tem se observado a ineficiência de alguns princípios ativos. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a sensibilidade micelial in vitro de isolados de Colletotrichum spp., submetidos a diferentes doses de fungicidas. O delineamento experimental f

Abstract:

Abstract Bacterial contamination of haematopoietic stem cell products (HSCP) during collection and processing is a potential risk and has been described as cause of serious morbidity and mortality. The rate of contamination is reported in the range of 0 to 4.5% in peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) apheresis to as high as 26% in bone marrow (BM) harvests. Systematic microbiological testing is an important component of the HSCP quality assessment and identification of the bacteria involved helps in the management of early infective complications. Here we report the rate of contaminated HSC

Abstract:

Peanuts, including shelled peanuts, unshelled peanuts and roasted peanuts which are ready to eat foods, recently appeared as possible sources of infection with foodborne bacteria besides the high levels of aflatoxins. Peanuts which are taken from harvest, storage and snack shops were evaluated for the presence of Listeria spp. and Salmonella spp; also total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, coliforms, E.coli. and yeasts and moulds, were enumerated.A total of 92 samples were found to be clean in terms of Salmonella and E-coli O157: H7, but only in 1 of the samples of shelled peanut taken from harves

Abstract:

The saprophytic yeast-like fungus Aureobasidium pullulans has been well documented for over 60 years in the microbiological literature. It is ubiquitous in distribution, being found in a variety of environments (plant surfaces, soil, water, rock surfaces and manmade surfaces), and with a worldwide distribution from cold to warm climates and wet/humid regions to arid ones. Isolates and strains of A. pullulans produce a wide range of natural products well documented in the international literature and which have been regarded as safe for biotechnological and environmental applications.

Abstract:

The instant rising demand of plant-based drugs is unfortunately creating heavy pressure on some selected high-value medicinal plant population in the wild. The safety, quality and efficacy of these products have become a major concern for health authorities and the consumers. Unavailability of proper production technology and suitable area of cultivation, post-harvest processing, market constraints and low economic returns as compared to major cereal crops, are the main problems in cultivation of these herbs and spices.

A total of 472 samples of soft-shell clams (Mya arenaria), collected from three major clam harvest areas in the Chesapeake Bay and dockside check stations, was analyzed for standard plate count (SPC), total coliforms, fecal coliforms, Escherichia coli, and coliphages. SPC increased during the summer season. SPC geometric means of 2.6 × 104, 6.9 × 104, and 7.2 × 104/g, respectively, were found in three major harvest areas. Fecal coliforms remained relatively stable with geometric means of 30, 54, and 62/100 g. As seasonal temperatures increased, the total coliform geometric means declined sligh

The present work evaluated the influence of calcium silicate on the polygalacturonase enzyme activity, respiration, ethylene, and the physicochemical characteristics on the post-harvest quality of two tomato hybrids. The experimental design was of randomized blocks, with four repetitions in protected cultivation environment. The treatments were distributed in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, corresponding to the hybrids (Ivety and Natalia) and five doses of calcium silicate (0, 150, 300, 450 and 600 kg ha-1), which were applied on the same day as the pots were filled.
