Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changes in texture, or firmness loss, of starfruit (Averrhoa carambola L. cv. B10) during ripening occur rather slowly relative to most other economically important tropical fruits. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of the fruit in polyethylene film retarded texture changes, as well as it retarded solubilisation and depolymerisation of cell wal polyuronides. The activities of the wall enzymes, B-galactosidase, polygalacturonase (PG) and pectinesterase were suppressed, but the effect of MAP in maintaining starfruit texture and in retarding wal modification appears to be more closely related to changes of B-galactosidase and pectinesterase activity than to PG activity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changes in softening and respiratory enzymes activity, and in other related physicochemical parameters were studied during ripening of starfruit (Averrhoa carambola cv B10). B-Galactosidase and pectin methylesterase activity increased during ripening of starfruit. The increase was correlated with changes in fruit softness as well as in the level of soluble polyuronides. Respiratory enzymes studies showed that NADP-malic enzyme activity reached maximum at day 20 and than reduced on the following days. The activity of PEPCase, however, flatuated throught the storage period. The physicochemical changes such as the skin color, total soluble solid, water loss and titratable acidity also registered an increase during ripening. Tissue pH remained unchanged initially, but decreased later during ripening. [Authors' abstract].

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Carambola (Averrhoa carambola L.) fruits, also known as star fruit, are known for their unique shape. 'Arkin' is the major variety of carambola grown in Florida; it is popular because of its compact shape, which is favorable for shipping, and its natural sweetness. However, one problem at retail level is the poor appearance of the fruit. Another is the fruit is generally not as sweet as its potential. Currently carambolas are harvested at early ripeness (when color breaks or reaches 1/4 yellow) because fruit are firmer and less susceptible to mechanical injury during harvesting and shipping. But fruit harvested at the 1/2 yellow stage are known to be sweeter and have a significantly higher sugar-to-acid ratio than fruit harvested 1/4 yellow. This study was initiated to examine the potential for harvesting 'Arkin' carambola at more advanced ripeness stages using the following postharvest treatments:three color stages (1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 yellow), application of carnauba wax, ethylene, aqueous 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) ethylene-action inhibitor, 1-MCP followed by ethylene, and storage at several temperatures. A price sensitivity analysis was also performed to determine the costs of adding a 1-MCP treatment to fruit produced in Florida.

Download or read book Effects of Various Postharvest Treatments on Changes in Texture Polygalacturonase Activity and Several Other Physico-chemical Properties of Starfruit (averrhoa Carambola L.) During Storage written by Azizah Osman and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starfruits (Averrhoa carambola L.) variety B10 with a colour index between 2 and 3, obtained from a fruit exporter in Serdang, Selangor, were used in this study. The fruits were subjected to different postharvest treatments namely chilling injury (3=1 Cl; 65-85% RH for 12 h), mechanical injury (dropping the fruits from a height of 1.5 m) and hydrocooling (0-3 C, in ice water for 12 h) before storage at optimum condition (10+1 C; 85-88% RH). Untreated fruits were used as control at both optimum and ambient (27+1 C; 60-80% RH) conditions. The physico-chemical changes studied during storage were texture, polygalacturonase (PG) activity, colour, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, ascorbic acid and total sugar content.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Microbiological Quality of Food: Foodborne Spoilers specifically addresses the role of spoilers in food technology and how they affect the quality of food. Food spoilers represent a great challenge in food quality, determining the shelf-life of many products as they impact consumer acceptability of taste, texture, aroma, and other perceptions. Divided into four sections, the first section defines microbial spoilage of food, with special emphasis on methods for the evaluation of spoiling phenomena and the status of their regulatory framework, examining both existing regulations and possible gaps. The second section examines spoiling microorganisms, covering a range of common spoilage microorganisms, including pseudomonas, yeasts, and molds and spore formers, as well as less-common spoilers, including lactic acid bacteria and specific spoilage organisms in fish. The third section highlights spoiling phenomena within certain food types. Chapters cover dairy, fish, meat, and vegetables, and other products. The final section investigates emerging topics which point to future trends in the research of food spoilers. There is insight into microorganisms resistant to preservation, the role of biofilms in food quality, and the link between food safety and food spoilage, with a special emphasis on certain spoiling microorganisms which could be opportunistic pathogens. Written by an international team of leading authors, this book provides state-of-the-art coverage of this topic, which is essential to the shelf-life and quality of food. Provides in-depth coverage of the different spoilers which cause the deterioration of foods, including less common spoilers not covered in other publications Includes dedicated chapters covering the spoilage of specific products, making this book ideal for those working in the food industry Presents a framework for future research in the area of foodborne spoilers

This book was released on 1998 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transportation and storage of fresh fruit and vegetables is an international operation for which the available technology must be used to ensure that produce reaches the consumer in the best possible condition. The use of controlled atmospheric conditions, as a way of reducing the use of chemical preservatives and pesticides, has great potential for the reduction of postharvest losses and the maintenance of nutritive value and organoleptic characteristics. The proper application of controlled atmosphere storage is likely to have as great an impact as the introduction of refrigeration technology a century earlier, yet its potential is only just becoming appreciated, despite its use for apples for many years. In this book, the author reviews and condenses the large amount of research on controlled atmosphere storage, going back more than 80 years, in order to provide the most comprehensive reference source on this topic. It traces the history of the technique and the range of conditions currently in use for different fruit and vegetables, and their effect on flavor, quality and physiology. The influence of pests and diseases, environmental factors such as mixtures of gases, and packaging are then described and the recommended controlled atmosphere conditions for a wide range of crops is provided. This book is essential reading for horticultural researchers and food industry staff concerned with transportation, storage and quality. In addition, it is a valuable reference source for students of horticulture, agriculture, engineering, food science and technology, and food marketing, as well as regulatory bodies and consumer groups.
