The oxygen uptake of flower buds from Van der Cruyssen azaleas was measured while and after plants were treated with 45 days of 2 °C storage or with 7-weekly sprays of 500 p.p.m. gibberellic acid (GA). Respiration of the flower buds decreased during the cold-storage period. In contrast, respiration of the buds from both GA and cold storage treated plants was greater than that of control plants for the 2- to S-week posttreatment period. This increase reached a peak at the 3-week point.

AbstractThe effects of low temperature storage and cryopreservation on the survival and infectivity of Romanomermis culicivorax were studied in the laboratory. When pre-parasitic juveniles of R. culicivorax were stored at-2 to 2°C, more than 90% survived for 9 days and 50% were motile for 13 days. The infective ability of the pre-parasitic juveniles for mosquitoes remained high (85%) after 5 days of cold storage and the infectivity was reduced only moderately (50 to 78%) after storage for 6 to 10 days. Various cryoprotectants were investigated to develop a cryopreservation procedure for the infectious pre-parasitic juveniles of R. culicivorax. After suspension in 1, 2.5 or 5% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO), and cryopreservation with a two-step cooling sequence prior to storage in liquid nitrogen, approximately half of the pre-parasitic juveniles of R. culicivorax, cryopreserved in 2.5 and 5% DMSO, regained motility when thawed quickly after storage for 7 and 125 days. However, revived pre-parasitic juveniles were unable to infect mosquito larvae. Pre-parasitic juveniles treated with ethanediol, hydroxyethyl starch, and polyvinylpyrrolidone as cryoprotectants did not survive the cryopreservation procedure. Similar results were obtained with the pre-parasitic juveniles (PPJ) of Romanomermis yunanensis.

Rice and its products are widely consumed in Asian countries; however, starch retrogradation decreases the quality and shortens the shelf-life of rice foods particularly at low temperature. In this study sucrose ester (SE), glycerol monostearate (GMS), and sodium stearoyl lactylate (SSL) were added to rice flour and corresponding rice gels. Then, gelatinization properties, retrogradation characteristics, texture, and water content of these rice gels were investigated at 4°C and −20°C storage, respectively. The results demonstrated that the rice gels with 0.2% GMS had the lowest retrogradation index (ΔHr/ΔHg) (11.84%) and hardness (1359 g) at 4°C for a 10 d period, which was significantly lower in comparison to control and the other two emulsifiers (P<0.05). Adhesiveness and water content were increased compared to the other samples. Furthermore, the retrogradation of rice gels stored at 4°C was comparatively rapid compared to gels stored at −20°C. Gel samples stored at −20°C were still acceptable for more than 15 days. Thus it was revealed that GMS has the potential to retard starch retrogradation and produce high-quality rice products in preservation.

Tubers from 7 potato varieties were analyzed for their rates of glycoalkaloid accumulation in response to stresses of three types of mechanical injury and low temperature storage. Mechanical injuries were found to greatly stimulate glycoalkaloid accumulation in both peel and flesh of tubers. The extent of glycoalkaloid accumulation appears to depend on variety, type of mechanical injury, and storage period. Most of the injury-stimulated glycoalkaloid accumulation occurred within 7 and 14 days after treatment. Cutting the tubers resulted in the highest content of glycoalkaloids both in flesh and peel up to levels that exceeded the upper safety limit of 200 mg/kg FW. Injury stimulated α-solanine accumulation in stored potato tubers is more than α-chaconine, resulting in a decrease in the α-chaconine: α-solanine ratio. When tubers were stored at low temperature, the rate of glycoalkaloid accumulation was found to be independent of the glycoalkaloid level at harvest. The greatest increase in total glycoalkaloid content of the seven varieties was found after two weeks of storage at both 4 ºC and 10 ºC. Further storage at these temperatures resulted in a decrease in the rate of glycoalkaloid accumulation in most of them. At 10 ºC glycoalkaloid content tended to increase more rapidly than at 4 ºC. The α-solanine content of the tubers showed an increase following low temperature storage.

Demand for mangosteen fruits (Garciana mangostana L) is currently increasing both for local and export markets. Quality of mangosteen fruit has been kept until now, even increased by efforts of post-harvest handling. The problem on postharvest of mangosteen is mainly on storage process. The quality of mangosteen is affected by the temperature condition during storage period. Waxing is usually used for fruits to extend their shelf life. In this study, combination of waxing and low temperature storage were studied to obtain the optimum storage condition for mangosteen. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of combination of waxing and low temperature storage on the quality changes of mangosteen. It was shown that storage of mangosteen with waxing treatment of 5% and temperature storage of 8oC resulted the longest period of storage, i.e., 39 days. At this condition, the firmness was 2.00 kgf, total soluble solid was 16.10oBrix, and respiration rate of CO2 was 1.67ml/kg hr.

Chilling injury (CI), which causes seed browning in pepper, may arise following long-term cold storage, and is a major cause of postharvest losses. To explore potential strategies of minimizing the associated postharvest losses, the present study investigated the optimal pepper harvest time that could reduce levels of seed browning, in addition to the relationship between fruit maturity and seed browning. Fruits harvested 15 days after flowering (DAF) were sensitive to cold storage at 4 °C and exhibited 100% seed browning (CI index, 4.0); in contrast, the seed browning rate of fruits harvested 35 DAF was 10% (CI index, 0.4) within 7 days of cold storage. Seed antioxidant activity was higher in seeds harvested at early stages (15 DAF to 20 DAF) than in seeds harvested at later stages (40 DAF to 50 DAF) at the beginning of storage. Pericarps of fruit harvested at 50 DAF exhibited the highest antioxidant activity. Lipoxygenase, catalase, and peroxidase activity, and the expression levels of cell wall-related genes, pectin methylesterase-like protein, and endo-β-1,4-glucanase were higher in seeds of immature fruit harvested 15 DAF than in seeds of mature fruit harvested 35 DAF. The seeds of the fruit harvested 35 DAF were fully developed with the seed coat separated from the endosperm and did not turn brown under low-temperature storage. The lack of seed browning observed in mature fruit under low-temperature storage could be attributed to physical protection provided by the seed coat rather than cold stress resistance conferred by antioxidants.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to evaluate the acid resistance of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (S. Enteritidis) in stored pork and in simulated gastric fluid (SGF). A culture of S. Enteritidis was subjected to acid treatment prior to inoculation into pork, stored under refrigeration at frozen temperatures and exposed to SGF. The S. Enteritidis CCS3 and ATCC 13076 strains previously subjected to acid treatment (at pH 4.0-5.0) were inoculated in pork and stored at 4°C and -18°C. Storage at 4ºC did not affect the populations of both S. Enteritidis strains. After 84 days at -18°C, the mean population of both CCS3 and ATCC strains were reduced by 0.8 and 1.5 log cycles, respectively. Prior acid treatment did not enhance the survival of both strains at low temperatures. After acid treatment and low temperature storage, S. Enteritidis ATCC 13076 lost culturability after being exposed to SGF for 10 minutes. In contrast, S. Enteritidis CCS3 was tolerant until three hours of SGF exposure. S. Enteritidis CCS3 submitted to pH 4.0 was more tolerant to SGF exposure than when submitted to pH 4.5, 5.0 and without acid treatment. Therefore, this study indicates that exposure to an acidic and cold environment during processing enhanced the ability of S. Enteritidis to survive in the gastric environment of the human stomach, possibly increasing the risk of a Salmonella infection after consumption of pork.
