Effect of physiological age on growth vigour of seed potatoes of two cultivars. 4. Influence of storage period and storage temperature on growth and yield in the field

Age gelation is a major quality defect in ultra-high-temperature (UHT) pasteurized milk during extended storage. Changes in plasmin (PL)-induced sedimentation were investigated during storage (23 °C and 37 °C, four weeks) of UHT skim milk treated with PL (2.5, 10, and 15 U/L). The increase in particle size and broadening of the particle size distribution of samples during storage were dependent on the PL concentration, storage period, and storage temperature. Sediment analysis indicated that elevated storage temperature accelerated protein sedimentation. The initial PL concentration was positively correlated with the amount of protein sediment in samples stored at 23 °C for four weeks (r = 0.615; p < 0.01), whereas this correlation was negative in samples stored at 37 °C for the same time (r = −0.358; p < 0.01) due to extensive proteolysis. SDS-PAGE revealed that whey proteins remained soluble over storage at 23 °C for four weeks, but they mostly disappeared from the soluble phase of PL-added samples after two weeks’ storage at 37 °C. Transmission electron micrographs of PL-containing UHT skim milk during storage at different temperatures supported the trend of sediment analysis well. Based on the Fourier transform infrared spectra of UHT skim milk stored at 23 °C for three weeks, PL-induced particle size enlargement was due to protein aggregation and the formation of intermolecular β-sheet structures, which contributed to casein destabilization, leading to sediment formation.

Coffee is a beverage that is widely consumed around the world. Proper packaging and storage temperature may extend shelf life of ground coffee. The study aimed to analyze the shelf life of ground Arabica coffee stored in different packaging types and temperature, conducted at smallholder coffee plantations in Garut Regency and the Integrated Laboratory of Indonesian Industrial and Beverage Crops Research Institute, Sukabumi, from June to August 2018. A completely randomized design in factorial was used with 3 factors and 2 replications. The first factor was the packaging type which consisted of 3 types: thick alumunium foil 65m (AF65), thick alumunium foil 130m (AF130), and thick lamination 114m (L144). The second factor was the storage temperature which consisted of 3 levels: 25 oC, 35 oC, and 45 oC, while the third factor was the storage period which consisted of 5 levels: coffee unstored, and coffee stored for 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8 weeks. The variables observed were the water and fat content, and the analysis of shelf life was carried out using the ASLT (Accelerated Shelf Life Test) method. The results showed that during storage, the water content increased, whereas the fat content decreased. Fat content is a critical variable in determining the shelf life of coffee. The coffee in AF130 packaging has longer shelf life than in AF65 and L144. To extend the shelf life of coffee packaged in AF130 and L144 is best kept at 45 oC whereas coffee in AF65 packaging is ideally at 25 oC.

Fresh Semen

This study describes the seminal and spermatic characteristics of fresh semen of Steindachneridion melanodermatum and investigates the effects of dilution, temperature, and storage period on its spermatic parameters. Sperm samples were collected from nine hormonally-induced males. The following parameters in fresh sperm were analyzed: seminal plasma osmolality (OSM), seminal pH, sperm motility (MOT), sperm velocity (SV) (including sperm curvilinear velocity (CVV), sperm straight-line velocity (SLV), and sperm average path velocity (APV)), total time of sperm motility (TEMP), sperm concentration (CONC), and index of sperm normality (NORM). Sperm samples from each male were diluted in a solution containing 5% fructose and 5% powdered milk, and stored at 10°C and 25°C. The same was carried out for sperm samples not subjected to dilution. From these samples, MOT, CVV, SLV, APV, SV, and TEMP were measured after 0 h, 5 h, 9 h, 18 h, 27 h, 36 h, 45 h, and 54 h. Males released 11.74 ± 5.38 mL of sperm, with an osmolality of 258.78 ± 29.36 mOsm.kg-1 and pH of 7.11 ± 0.31. The sperm presented a MOT of 99.86 ± 0.31% at a concentration of 1.03 × 1010 ± 3.65 × 109 spermatozoa.mL-1 with CVV of 185.58 ± 14.11 ?m.s-1, SLV of 49.15 ± 4.66 ?m.s-1, APV of 87.02 ± 4.13 ?m.s-1, SV of 106.52 ± 4.45 ?m.s-1, TEMP of 79.31 ± 5.62 s, NORM of 75.81 ± 5.71%. The results indicate that sperm motility, sperm velocity, and total time of sperm activation were affected by dilution, storage temperature, and storage period (p < 0.05). Procedures for semen storage should be performed with undiluted sperm cooled at 10°C, or kept undiluted at 25°C for up to 27 h.

ABSTRACT Meniran (Phyllanthus niruri L.) is a wild plant that used extensively as a raw material for traditional medicine but has not been cultivated yet. Meniran cultivation requires the availability of quality seeds and seedlings to produce the high productivity. The ability of seeds to germinate (seed viability) after the storage period is influenced by several factors both internal and external, including seed water content, genetic traits, initial viability and packaging material, storage temperature and humidity, microorganisms, and human factors.. The study aims to determine the effect of storage containers, storage temperature and time of storage on the power of meniran seed germination. The study was conducted in March-April 2018 at the B2P2TO2T Seed Laboratory. The research design was Factorial Completely Randomized Design with 3 factors and 3 replications. The first factor was a storage container consisting of plastic, paper envelopes and aluminum foil. Second factor was a storage temperature consisting of 0 ° C, -20 ° C and -50 ° C. The third factor was storage time which consists of 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks and 10 weeks. The results showed that the storage container and storage time had a significantly different effect on meniran seed germination. The storage time does not have a significant effect on germination. Together, the storage container, storage temperature and storage time do not have a significant effect on meniran seed germination. The interaction between the storage temperature and the storage time and the interaction between the storage container and the storage time give significantly different effects on germination. ABSTRAK Meniran (Phyllanthus niruri L.) merupakan tanaman liar yang simplisianya banyak dibutuhkan sebagai bahan baku obat tradisional namun belum dibudidayakan. Budidaya tanaman meniran memerlukan ketersediaan benih dan bibit yang bermutu untuk menghasilkan produktivitas yang tinggi. Kemampuan benih untuk berkecambah (viabilitas benih) setelah masa penyimpanan dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor baik internal maupun eksternal, meliputi kadar air benih, sifat genetik, viabilitas awal serta bahan pengemas, suhu dan kelembaban ruang simpan, mikroorganisme, serta faktor manusia. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh wadah simpan, suhu simpan dan waktu simpan terhadap daya perkecambahan benih meniran. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada bulan Maret-April 2018 di Laboratorium Benih B2P2TO2T. Desain penelitian yang digunakan yaitu Rancangan Acak Lengkap Faktorial dengan 3 faktor dan 3 ulangan. Faktor 1 yaitu wadah penyimpanan yang terdiri dari plastik, kertas amplop dan aluminium foil. Faktor 2 yaitu suhu simpan yang terdiri dari 0°C, -20°C dan -50°C. Faktor 3 yaitu waktu penyimpanan yang terdiri dari 2 minggu, 4 minggu, 6 minggu, 8 minggu dan 10 minggu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan wadah simpan dan waktu simpan memberikan pengaruh yang berbeda signifikan terhadap perkecambahan benih meniran. Suhu simpan tidak memberikan pengaruh yang berbeda signifikan terhadap perkecambahan. Secara bersama-sama wadah simpan, suhu simpan dan waktu simpan tidak memberikan pengaruh yang berbeda signifikan terhadap perkecambahan benih meniran. Interaksi antara suhu simpan dan waktu simpan serta interaksi antara wadah simpan dan waktu simpan memberikan pengaruh yang berbeda signifikan terhadap perkecambahan.

SUMMARYData from nine experiments from 1973 to 1981 which examined the effects of physiological age on sprout and field growth of early potato varieties are reported. Length of longest sprout per tuber and all aspects of field growth were related to number of daydegrees > 4 °C experienced by the seed after onset of sprout growth (measured as the appearance of a 3 mm sprout). It is, therefore, suggested that this scale is an effective measure of physiological age. In Home Guard and Maris Bard, increasing age of seed tubers resulted in earlier emergence and tuber initiation, larger early leaf areas and increased early tuber yields. As growth proceeded young seed produced the largest and most persistent leaf areas and the yields surpassed those of older seed and in some experiments yields decreased with increasing age at the final harvests.Optimum ages for specific harvesting periods were determined from regressions of tuber yield on age. In both varieties, they decreased with delay in harvesting. However, optimum ages differed in the two varieties and the implications for production and storage of seed and testing of varieties are discussed.

Transport duration affects the vibration level generated which has adverse effects on fresh produce during transportation. Furthermore, temperature affects the quality of fresh commodities during storage. This study evaluated physical changes in tomatoes during transportation and storage. Tomatoes were transported at three distances (100, 154, and 205 km) from a local farm and delivered to the Postharvest Laboratory where vibration acceleration was recorded per distance. Tomato was stored at two different temperatures (10 °C and 22 °C) for 12 days. The physical qualities like weight loss and firmness of all tomato samples were evaluated. RGB image acquisition system was used to assess the color change of tomato. The results of vibration showed that over 40% of accelerations occurred in the range of 0.82–1.31 cm/s2 of all transport distances. Physical quality analyses like weight loss and firmness were highly affected by transportation distance, storage temperature, and storage period. The reduction in weight loss and firmness was the highest in tomatoes transported from the farthest distance and stored at 22 °C. Lightness, yellowness, and hue values showed a high reduction as transport distance increased particularly in tomatoes stored at 22 °C. Redness, total color difference, and color indices increased significantly on tomatoes transported from 205 km and stored at 10 °C and 22 °C. The study indicated that the increase in transportation distance and storage temperature cause higher changes in the physical qualities of tomatoes.

AbstractThe advancement of human retinal pigment epithelial cell (hRPE) replacement therapy is partly dependent on optimization of cell culture, cell preservation, and storage medium. This study was undertaken to search for a suitable storage temperature and storage medium for hRPE. hRPE monolayer sheets were cultured under standard conditions at 37°C and then randomized for storage at six temperatures (4, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 37°C) for 7 days. After revealing a suitable storage temperature, hRPE sheets were subsequently stored with and without the silk protein sericin added to the storage medium. Live/dead assay, light microscopy, pH, and phenotypic expression of various proteins were used to assess cell cultures stored at different temperatures. After 7 days of storage, hRPE morphology was best preserved at 4°C. Addition of sericin to the storage medium maintained the characteristic morphology of the preserved cells, and improved pigmentation and levels of pigmentation-related proteins in the cultured hRPE sheets following a 7-day storage period at 4°C.
