The study was done to formulate a drink from an old medicinal herb and retain all the potential benets with a new taste and avor. For this an herbal drink was formulated and its quality ascertained. In the rst part of the study, syrup was prepared from the raw leaves of the herb with addition of acids and avors. Then this syrup was diluted further followed by carbonation with 1:3 ratio of soda water and bottled. Three samples were prepared namely, T1 (same as previous but with 1:3 ratio carbonation and dividing the sample hot lled and cold lled ). In the next part, prepared samples were subjected to sensory evaluation,chemical and microbial analysis when fresh and 0 after regular intervals at room temperature (27±1 °C) and refrigerated temperature (below 7 C). Microbial analysis of the product was done to check the quality of the herbal drink and self-life of the product. The control sample T1 cold lled was the most acceptable due to its unique taste and avor, followed by sample T1( hot lled) . The present study entailed to conclude that preparation of a drink with B. monnieri leaf extracts gives a new taste and avor with high nutritional values. This drink can be stored safe for nearly a month if carbonated and storage at refrigerated 0 temperature (below 5 C).

The present study evaluated the effect of NPK fertilizer (17:17:17) rates (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg ha-1) on the postharvest quality of field and greenhouse grown pepino melons (Solanum muricatum Ait.) stored at room temperature (15-22°C) and at low temperature (7°C). The study was carried out in randomized complete block design with fruits from the field and greenhouse, five NPK fertilizer rates as treatments and the two storage temperatures replicated three times. Data were collected on percentage fruit weight loss (PWL), total soluble solids (TSS), firmness and shelf life. Results indicated that greenhouse and field grown fruits from the control and plants supplied with 100 kg NPK ha-1 had low PWL at both storage temperatures. Field grown fruits from the control stored at room temperature had the highest TSS and were firmer after 28 days of storage. Field grown fruits not supplied with fertilizer and stored at low temperature had a shelf life of 27 and 26 days in trial one and two respectively. Application of 100 kg NPK ha-1 and storage of pepino melon fruits at low temperature can be used to enhance quality and shelf life.

Abstract Micro-nutrients especially zinc can not only increase the yield of sweet potato but can also improve the quality of tubers. Hence, experiments were carried out in 2015 and 2016 cropping seasons to determine the impact of various levels of ZnSO4 fertilizer on soil chemical properties, foliage and storage root yields and proximate qualities of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.). The experiments consisted of 5 levels (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 kg ha-1) of ZnSO4 fertilizer. These were arranged in a randomized complete block design and replicated three times. ZnSO4 increased (with the exception of P) soil chemical properties compared with the control. N, K, Ca, Mg and Zn were increased up to the 20 kg ha-1 ZnSO4 level in both years. ZnSO4 reduced P concentrations in soil as the level increased. For sweet potato performance, 5 kg ha-1 ZnSO4 fertilizer had the highest values of foliage yield (vine length and vine weight) and storage root yield. Using the mean of the two years and compared with the control, ZnSO4 fertilizer at 5 kg ha-1 increased storage root yield of sweet potato by 17.4%. On fitting the mean storage root yield data of the two years with a cubic equation, the optimum rate of Zn for sweet potato was found to be 3.9 kg ha-1 to achieve the maximum sweet potato yield. In this study, relative to the control, ZnSO4 fertilizer increased moisture and decreased the fibre contents of sweet potato. There were no consistent patterns of variation between the 5, 10, 15 and 20 kg ha-1 ZnSO4 treatments for proximate qualities except that the highest values of fat, protein, carbohydrate and ash was at 5 kg ha-1 ZnSO4.

The objective was to evaluate the production and post-harvest quality of fruit from grafted and non-grafted tomatoes. The experiment was carried out in a randomized block design with five treatments (Jiloeiro, Berinjeleira, Jurubeba, 'Intacto' rootstock and the witness the cherry tomato without grafting) and 16 replicates. In the evaluation of physical-chemical quality, the experiment followed a randomized block design in a 5x2 factorial scheme (rootstocks and storage temperatures, 10 ºC and room temperature) four replications. For a better productive contribution of the cherry tomato, the use of rootstocks from Jurubeba and Intacto is indicated, however, the use of a rootstock did not contribute to the durability and physicochemical characteristics of the fruit. When conditioned at 10 ºC, the fruits showed a better visual and physical-chemical aspect in relation to the ambient temperature, with increased durability of the product in all treatments.

Abstract Introduction Reliable specimen collection and transport are fundamental to obtain high-quality test results in the hematology laboratory. Recognizing the effect of fluctuations in transport and storage conditions, time, and temperatures on the integrity of specimens and quality of results may help define the optimal transport and storage parameters. We designed an IRB-approved quality improvement study to investigate the effects of temperature fluctuation and duration of storage on blood parameters. Methods Ten volunteers donated blood for the study. All samples were deidentified and volunteers were blinded to the results without any review of their charts. Eight EDTA vials were collected from each volunteer and were immediately stored in heating blocks/refrigerators/freezers at selected temperatures including 0°C, 2 to 8°C, 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, 40°C, 45°C and at room temperature (21°C). Blood parameters were then measured using sysmex XN series at 0, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours and values were analyzed. Results We observed that total white cell count, Hb, MCH, and platelets were stable for 12 hours at 2 to 35°C. RBCs and MPV were stable for 12 hours at 2 to 30°C, whereas blood parameters including Hct, RDW, MCV, and MCHC were stable up until 12 hours at room temperature but not at higher temperatures. All parameters were stable at 2 to 8°C even up to 48 hours. Conclusion It is preferable to perform CBC on blood specimens as soon as they are received. However, our data suggest that most of the blood parameters are stable for at least 12 hours at room temperature. The integrity of specimens and consequently the quality of the results deteriorate above 35°C and when stored longer than 24 hours; 2 to 8°C is the optimal temperature range for specimen transport, especially if delays in analysis are anticipated.

The study was done to formulate a drink from an old medicinal herb and retain all the potential benefits with a new taste and flavor. For this an herbal drink was formulated and its quality ascertained. In the first part of the study, syrup was prepared from the raw roots of the herb with addition of acids and flavors. Then this syrup was diluted (in the ratio of 20:80, i.e., 20% syrup and 80% water) further followed by carbonation with the rate of 6.2 g of CO2 per liter of the diluted drink and bottled. Three samples were prepared namely, Control samples T0(Control sample, without essence), T1(Kewada essence) and T2 (Rose essence). In the next part, prepared samples were subjected to sensory evaluation and chemical analysis when fresh and after regular intervals at room temperature (27±1 °C) and refrigerated temperature (below 70C). Microbial analysis of the product was done to check the quality of the herbal drink and self-life of the product. The control sample T0 was the most acceptable due to its unique taste and flavor, followed by samples T1 and T2. The present study entailed to conclude that preparation of a drink with hemidesmus indicus roots extracts gives a new taste and flavor with high nutritional values. This drink can be stored safe for nearly a month if carbonated and storage at refrigerated temperature (below 50C).

Assam lemon is one of the most important fruit of Assam and it is used for culinary purpose due to its fragrance and acidic content. Though Citrus fruits are non-climacteric in nature, depending on the temperature and storage duration, chemical composition of fruits may change. In this experiment different treatments viz T0: Control, T1: Chlorination (4%), T2: Chlorination (4%) + Polyethylene (300 gauge thickness), T3: Chlorination (4%) + perforated polythene (with pinholes), T4: Chlorination (4%) + individual shrink wrapping, T5: Chlorination (4%) + tray packaging used to study the storage life and post harvest quality of Assam Lemon fruits. The effect of these treatments on citric acid, respiration, fruit texture and colour were studied. Among all the treatments, individual shrink wrapping (T4) of Assam Lemon fruit stored at ambient temperature (30-320C and 80–85% RH) was found to be beneficial because it helped to extend the shelf life without deterioration in quality of fruit. Shrink wrap packaging retained the freshness, colour and firmness of the fruit up to 1 month without any decay

Studies conducted on the storage of coconut pulp showed this product can be stored frozen at -10° C without changes that impair the flavor of coconut milk prepared from it. The same study demonstrated that extraction of coconut milk from frozen coconut pulp yielded about 50% of that obtained from pulp at room temperature (25-28° C). The chemical composition of coconut milk extracted and press-cake residue was altered. Fat content in milk from frozen coconut pulp was about 2% of that extracted from pulp at room temperature. Press-cake obtained from frozen pulp contained 15% more fat than press-cake resulting from the standard practice.
