Early Harvest

Cassava is an important staple food around the world, especially in Africa. It is cultivated throughout the Ivorian territory with predominance in the South. Due to the high demand, some producers opt for an early harvest, neglecting the impact of the harvest stage on the sensory parameters of cassava root derivatives. The objective of this work was to determine the stage of harvest allowing obtaining products of good sensory quality. The sensory characteristics of the attiéké were evaluated at different stages of harvest (11th, 12th, 13th and 14th months after planting the cuttings) of the cassava roots of the Yacé variety which were used for its production. The attiéké obtained in the twelfth month of harvest was generally much appreciated because it was less acidic, less fibrous and more homogeneous and had a better smell. Thus, cassava harvested in the twelfth month of cultivation makes it possible to obtain attiéké with the best sensory characteristics. Therefore, this stage of maturity of cassava roots is recommended for attiéké producers.

The Impact

Chapter 6 looks at the textile industry, the largest industry in the United States during the 1930s to 1950s, which failed to be organized in the South. The chapter takes aim at the highly popular cultural analysis that argues for the impact of southern culture as the reason for this failure. It emphasizes the economics of the industry, the historic militancy of southern textile workers, like that of their counterparts the world over, and the similarities of their struggles to those of other textile workers throughout the world with decidedly different cultures. For many analysts of U.S. labor, the question of why unions have been less successful in the South than in other regions revolves almost completely around the textile industry.

The Impact

The importance of tourism as one of the bedrocks of economic growth in South Africa suggests that volatility in the sector may have dire consequences. We therefore empirically analyse the impact of tourism volatility (TV) on the gross domestic product (GDP) volatility of the country, using time-varying approaches that treat the parameter estimations as functions of time, thereby overcoming the challenge posed by parameter instabilities, non-linearities, non-stationarity, regime shifts and time variations. We find that TV significantly aggravates GDP volatility (GDPV) in South Africa. The impact varies from year to year and is greatest during the periods characterized by economic turbulence and crime and violence against foreigners. The size of the coefficients has been on a steady increase over time, reflecting the growing importance of tourism and TV to the South African economy. We also find that TV is a significant predictor of GDPV in the country. We strongly recommend that policymakers pay serious attention to economic happenings around the world since TV is one of the channels through which global economic crises affect the South African economy. We also recommend that the minimization of crime and social disorder should form an essential component of tourism development and promotion strategy in South Africa.

Studies have reported the impact of frying on the nutritional and sensory properties of mackerel. However, no study has reviewed this topic. This study reviewed the effects of different frying processes on the nutritional and sensory characteristics of mackerel, with and without batter, marinade, and spice. MEDLINE, Web of Science, PubMed, and ScienceDirect were used as online databases to find relevant articles. We found that the nutritional, physicochemical, and sensory properties of fried mackerel without treatment were influenced by frying methods. Deep frying affected the oxidation of lipids and degradation of proteins, while air frying increased the overall acceptance score. Frying can reduce perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), eliminate some toxins, lower the trypsin inhibitor (TI), and increase the sensory parameters of mackerel with batter, marinade, and spice treatment. The different ingredients of minced mackerel products preserved their nutritional and sensory parameters after frying. Interestingly, vacuum frying resulted in lower oxidation and maintenance of nutritional and sensory parameters of fried mackerel (with or without treatment) and minced mackerel products. Further research is needed to reveal the effectiveness of vacuum frying in maintaining the nutritional and sensory properties of fried and minced mackerel products.

Fifty-six Rubia de El Molar ovine breed lamb carcasses were divided into 8 groups (n = 7 per group) according to weight (10, 15, 20 and 25 kg) and sex (male and female) to study the effect of these factors on meat sensory characteristics, assessed by means of a trained panel. Heavier animals showed a more-springy meat and also received lower scores for pleasantness. Assessors gave lower scores for flavour and pleasantness in female meat. A high correlation was detected between hardness and springiness, number of chews, and pleasantness. Juiciness, greasiness, and flavour were also sensory variates highly correlated. Pleasantness was only correlated to hardness. Changes from 10 to 25 kg did not affect juiciness, greasiness, flavour, and number of chews. There are no significant differences in the sensory quality of lambs slaughtered at 10 and 15 kg live weight, and also between 20 and 25 kg groups. Heavy carcasses (20 and 25 kg) showed a more hard and springy meat than light carcasses (10 and 15 kg). Besides, the 10 and 15 kg animals group received higher scores for pleasantness. This work showed differences in suckling lambs’ meat sensory parameters between Rubia de El Molar and other ovine breeds.

AbstractErigeron annuus (L.) Pers. (Asteraceae) is native species to eastern North America, but has been introduced to Europe and many other temperate regions of the world. In order to assess the impact of spreading history and settlement time on the genetic diversity of invasive populations of E. annuus, individual plants were sampled from 16 populations located in Switzerland, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia along the south-northern expansion direction of this species in Europe. One population was collected in native range (New Brunswick, Canada). The analysis of ISSR polymorphism in 253 plants revealed 161 polymorphic bands. The highest genotype variation and genetic diversity parameters were revealed in the populations from Switzerland and Poland, the least – in Latvian populations. All 37 plants from Latvia were clones of the same genotype. The comparison of genetic diversity parameters of populations from different countries showed the decrease of genetic diversity on the south-north direction.

The Impact

As more and more consumers around the world integrate the choice of healthier, more ethical and eco-friendlier food and beverages in their lifestyle, the wine industry is pushed to develop more sustainable production, distribution and consumption solutions. In search of wine preservation improvements that would have both economic and ecological positive impacts, the wine industry has been investing resources in research, development and innovation regarding alternative packaging and distribution solutions for years. The keg Ecofass® is made of recyclable plastic material, high density polyethylene (HDPE) in which there is an aluminium pouch containing the liquid food. It was a question of knowing if this type of container was adapted to the conservation of the wines during several months. The method of storage and distribution has also been studied to know the impact on the oenological and sensory quality of the wines. Likewise, the nature of the pressure gas (nitrogen or compressed air) has also been tested. The contents of free and total SO2 and CO2 were monitored, and sensory analysis tests were carried out. Nevertheless, at the sensory level, the judges were able to note significant differences between the wines.

Tuna is the mainstay of fisheries export commodities in Indonesia with a total export amounted to 201.159 tons and export value of 750 million dollars in 2012. The high demand tuna improve the practice of tuna captured in the sea, causing a decline in tuna stocks both in the number and size of tuna caught. This condition triggers the experts to culture tuna in laboratory scale to reduce the impact of overexploitation (overfishing). However, the tuna sea farming is under the spotlight because in practice, some countries do tuna farming without hatching of the parent tuna but merely enlarge a baby tuna are caught from the wild to market size. This gives rise to a difference of opinion of many experts on tuna farming practices. Therefore, this article highlights the pros and cons of experts on tuna farming from environmental, economic and technical, to determine whether Indonesia needs to develop tuna farming to cope with overfishing. The method used in this research is the study of literature writings on tuna farming and analyzed descriptively. Results of the analysis showed that despite the many negative opinions about the tuna sea farming, the Indonesian government should support the of tuna sea farming with tuna breeding research, as has been done by the Research Institute for Marine Fisheries Gondol. If the tuna breeding is successful, will have a great impact on the problems of the world tuna demand which increasing every year.
