The effect of caseinate/chitosan blend on the shelf life of minimally processed apples was studied. In the first phase of the work, the effect of the biopolymer coating on the respiration rate of the minimally processed apples was studied as function of gas composition (5%, 10%, 21% of O2 with N2 as balance at 5 °C) and temperature (5 °C, 10 °C at 5% of O2 with N2 as balance). In the second phase, the shelf life of the packed product was studied during storage at 5 °C. The gas composition (O2%-CO2%) in the package headspace, relative humidity, pH, hardness, color and antioxidant capacity of the product were monitored after 0, 1, 4, 7, 11, and 14 days. The coating effectively reduced respiration rate of the product when oxygen was over 10%. In the presence of the coating, the reduction of oxygen did not affect the respiration rate. At 5% of O2, the respiration rate decreased by 50% by changing the temperature from 10 °C to 5 °C. Shelf life study showed that the chitosan—caseinate coating was able to preserve the mechanical properties and the antioxidant capacity of the product during storage by increasing the shelf life by 7 days to 11 days at 5 °C.

The effect of storage temperature on the shelf life, weight loss, respiration rate and ethylene production of Hass avocado (Persea americana Mill) was studied. Two batches of green mature avocado fruits, classified as ‘‘super extra’’ were stored at 10 and 20 C (first batch) and at 7 and 25 C (second batch). The avocado shelf lives were 22, 8, 32 and 6 days at 10, 20, 7 and 25 C, respectively. Based on the data of the first assay Q10 was calculated as 2.75, with this value the predicted shelf life at 7 and 25 C were 29.8 and 4.8 days, respectively. That meant shelf life was underestimated 7 and 20% at 7 and 25 C, respectively. Weight loss was linear at both the storage temperatures, it was 4.3% in fruits at 20 C for 8 days and 3.0% at 10 C for 22 days. The maximum CO2 production at 20 C was reached during the second day of storage, while at 10 C it was reached at the 17th day (176.17 15.98 and 74.73 7.32 mL/kg h, respectively). The maximum ethylene production at 20 C was reached the second day of storage, and at 10 C the 6th day (239.06 54.55 and 28.00 8.12 mL/kg h, respectively).

Development retort pouch packaged Ramasseri idli was undertaken with specific objectives of standardisation of thermal process in retort pouch package, shelf life study and quality evaluation. The Ramasseri idli, an indigenous cereallegume based food of south India, was procured and packaged in retort pouches with one idli in each pouch. The idlis were pasteurized at different time temperature combinations to achieve desired F0 values (110°C for F0=3 min, 110°C for F0=6 min 100°C for F0=3 min, 110°C for F0=6 min). After thermal processing the pouches were stored for shelf life studies under ambient storage (28°C) and refrigerated storage (7°C). The processed product was analysed for microbial and physico-chemical qualities viz; moisture content, pH, water activity, colour and texture using standard procedure at regular intervals. Based on physico-chemical characteristics and sensory evaluation, the thermal processed Ramasseri idli at 100°C for F0=6 min and stored under refrigeration showed best results up to three week of storage among the four treatments. The microbial analysis also showed that the product was safe up to 3 weeks of storage.

Cocos nucifera L. (Family Arecaceae) commonly known as coconut, is an important fruit crop in the tropical countries.The objective of this study was to develop coconut chips with different flavours from tall, dwarf and breed varieties of coconut and to evaluate organoleptically. Also nutrient analysis of three varieties of coconut was carried out followed by the shelf life study of coconut chips. Three varieties of coconut were selected namely tall, dwarf and breed. Plain, sweet and spicy coconut chips were prepared from these three varieties and it was compared with that of the standard namely conventional traditional variety of coconut. Traditional variety is most suitable for making plain coconut chips with white pepper flavour (PSV1) followed by dwarf, tall and breed varieties of coconut. Mean acceptability score of sweet coconut chips- osmotic dehydration method (SwSV1) revealed that traditional variety was good followed by dwarf, tall and breed varieties of coconut. Sweet coconut chips prepared without osmotic dehydration method traditional variety was good followed by tall, dwarf and breed varieties of coconut. Traditional variety of coconut chips was good for making spicy coconut chips- white pepper flavour (SpSV1) followed by breed, dwarf and tall varieties of coconut. Spicy coconut chips- chilli powder (SpMV2), traditional variety of coconut chips was good followed by dwarf, breed and tall varieties of coconut
