Abstract. Wulandari NF, Yulinery T, Suharna N, Nurhidayat N. 2019. Stability of black grass jelly (Mesona chinensis) probioticated by encapsulation of Lactobacillus plantarum Mar8 with agar and gum Arabic. Nusantara Bioscience 11: 84-88. Black grass jelly [Mesona chinensis (Benth)] is one of the traditional food ingredients that can be used as the encapsulation material. However, syneresis easily occurs so that becomes a problem during storage. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of type of stabilizers (agar and gum Arabic) and storage temperature (cold/4oC and ambient temperature/37oC) on black grass jelly stability and the viability of encapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum Mar8 in probiotication. The concentrations of stabilizers were 0.5%; 1.0%; 1.5% and 2.0% (w/v). The result showed that the syneresis rate was stable up to 2% of agar concentration at low storage temperature, while gum Arabic in the concentration of >1% resulted in increasing syneresis rate. Ambient temperature storage increased the syneresis rate. This study showed that agar or gum Arabic was supporting the probiotication as good encapsulant. Moreover, it was suitable for stabilizing or gelling agent at 0.5%-1% concentration to produce black grass jelly as RTD.

Darkening of onion buds due to irradiation was investigated during three seasons on three cultivars of onion, Riverside, Egyptian, and Grano. The effects of radiation dose (0.7–80 krads), delay in irradiation after harvest, and storage temperature were studied. No darkening occurred during storage of up to 8 months at 0 C, though slight darkening sometimes appeared during subsequent shelf life. At ambient temperatures (10–30 C) three types of radiation damage were found. The onset of darkening occurred not earlier than 2 months after irradiation. With all doses above 1.0 krad there was 100% incidence of darkening after about 5 months storage at ambient temperature. The intensity of darkening increased with length of storage. Very low doses (0.7–1.0 krad) did not prevent sprouting but caused slight darkening. Doses between 2 and 80 krads completely inhibited external sprouting; however, if delayed till 3 months postharvest, these doses failed to prevent sprouting, but did cause severe darkening, which was not dependent on the dose. There was no correlation between the delay in irradiation after harvest and the intensity or incidence of darkening. The length of the dormancy period varied in different years, apparently as a result of different conditions prevailing during crop growth. Differences in the intensity of darkening in different years seem to be connected with this phenomenon.

BACKGROUND Current standard operating procedures for salivary transcriptomic analysis require low temperatures and lengthy mRNA isolation, which substantially hamper its use in the clinic. We developed a streamlined, ambient-temperature processing, stabilization, and storage protocol for clinical analysis of salivary RNA. METHODS The direct saliva transcriptome analysis (DSTA) used cell-free saliva supernatant instead of isolated mRNA for saliva transcriptomic detection, and all procedures, including processing, stabilization, and storage of saliva samples, were performed at ambient temperature without a stabilizing reagent. We evaluated this streamlined protocol by comparing the mRNA expression levels of 3 saliva internal reference genes [glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH); actin, beta (ACTB); and ribosomal protein S9 (RPS9)] to levels measured with standard procedures, and detecting the variation of their expression levels under long-term ambient temperature storage. The clinical utility of DSTA was assessed by use of 7 oral cancer salivary mRNA biomarkers in a clinical study. RESULTS Each saliva internal reference gene mRNA showed similar expression levels when assayed by the DSTA or standard procedures, and remained stable under ambient temperature storage for at least 10 weeks without significant degradation (P = 0.918, 0.288, and 0.242 for GAPDH, ACTB, and RPS9, respectively). Compared with standard procedures, the performance characteristics of oral cancer salivary transcriptomic markers were retained as assayed by DSTA after 10 weeks of storage at ambient temperature. These results indicate that the DSTA is a suitable alternative method for saliva transcriptomic analysis and is feasible for use in clinical cancer research applications. CONCLUSIONS The streamlined DSTA protocol can impact the saliva-handling method and improve the standard operating procedures for clinical saliva transcriptomic diagnostics.

`Fallglo' (Bower citrus hybrid [Citrus reticulata Blanco × (C. reticulata Blanco × C. paradisi Macf.)] × `Temple' [C. reticulata Blanco × C. sinensis L.] is an early season tangerine that is reportedly hypersensitive to ethylene exposure during degreening. The effects of ethylene exposure time, waxing, and storage temperature on `Fallglo' color were examined to assess degreening strategies. Exposure to 5 μL·L-1 ethylene for 24 or 48 hours hastened degreening, and internal ethylene levels increased following the time periods of ethylene exposure. Fruit not exposed to ethylene, or exposed for shorter periods (2 or 6 hours), degreened slowly during storage at 15.5 °C and internal ethylene levels remained low. Low-temperature storage (4.5 °C) or waxing hindered degreening after ethylene exposure but decreased water loss. Degreening after ethylene exposure was faster for fruit stored at 15.5 than 26.5 °C.

Pawpaw [Asimina triloba (L.) Dunal] is a highly perishable climacteric fruit, softening rapidly once ripening commences which may limit its marketability. In studies to determine the optimum cold storage temperature and maximum storage life of the fruit, pawpaw fruit were stored at -2, 2, and 6 °C for 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and then ripened upon removal to ambient temperature. Through 4 weeks, fruit exhibited adequate firmness upon removal from cold storage, but at 8 and 12 weeks fruit held at 2 and 6 °C were very soft. Irrespective of storage temperature, at 8 weeks fruit showed a delay in a climacteric-like respiratory increase, and by 12 weeks a respiratory climacteric was not apparent. An ethylene climacteric was evident after all temperature and storage periods except those held at 6 °C for 12 weeks. Significant symptoms of cold injury were found by 8 weeks of 2 °C cold storage. In addition to a delayed respiratory climacteric, pawpaw fruit stored for 8 and 12 weeks exhibited flesh browning within 48 h of moving to ambient temperature. A change in fruit aroma volatile profile suggested injury might have been developing by 4 weeks of cold storage even though other symptoms were not evident. Immediately after harvest, methyl octanoate was the dominant volatile ester followed by methyl hexanoate. By 4 weeks of postharvest cold storage, ethyl hexanoate was the dominant ester followed by ethyl octanoate, but methyl octanoate production was still substantial. At 8 weeks, volatile ester production was generally lower with ethyl hexanoate the major volatile followed by ethyl octanoate. These symptoms indicate that pawpaw fruit can suffer cold injury during extended periods of cold storage.

Concern shortage and limited of petroleum, bio-fuels or also known as alternative fuel offer an advantage in order to sustain in long terms and economical. This renewable source is a good offer as an improvement attempt of automobile fuel and burner combustion. The main issue in using biodegradable alternative fuel such as vegetable oil-based fuels is oxidation stability, stoichiometric point, bio-fuel composition, antioxidants on the degradation and much oxygen with comparing to diesel gas oil. Thus, this study investigated the effects of different kind of biodegradable alternative fuel tested at variant in storage ambient condition under different storage duration. These tests were performed on the biodegradable alternative fuel such crude palm oil (CPO), and waste cooking oil (WCO) with different of ambient temperature and variant of blending ratio. The biodegradable fuel samples were stored in clinical compartment, at different temperatures and were monitored at regular interval over a period of 60 days. Blending of biodiesel was varied from 5vol% ~ 15vol% and storage temperature from 5°C~33°C. The effects of ambient temperature and storage duration on properties of biodegradable fuel such as density, kinematics viscosity, acid value, water content and flash point of biodiesel were discussed in detail. Analysis of this study showed that the different storage duration gave a significant effect toward the changes of water content; acid value and viscosity. As a conclusion, a long period of storage would decrease the quality of biodiesel no matter what kind of condition and environment is exposed to.

Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) dengan dua faktor perlakuan, level konsentrasi ethephon dan suhu penyimpanan terdiri dari 2 level (28 ± 2 ? dan 18 ± 2 ?). Analisis varian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi berbagai konsentrasi ethephon dalam proses degreening dan penyimpanan suhu menunjukkan efek yang signifikan (p <0,05) pada penurunan berat buah, total padatan terlarut, perbedaan warna tekstur, vitamin C dan total asam. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kombinasi perlakuan penyimpanan suhu rendah dengan konsentrasi 700 ppm etephon adalah perlakuan terbaik untuk membentuk warna jingga pada kulit jeruk dan mempertahankan umur simpan buah jeruk. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of degreening with various concentrations of ethephones and storage temperatures on the quality of citrus fruits during storage. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two treatment factors; the concentration level of ethephon and storage temperature consisting of 2 levels (28 ± 2 ? and 18 ± 2 ?). Variant analysis showed that the interaction of various concentrations of ethephon in the degreening and temperature storage process showed a significant effect (p <0.05) on decreasing fruit weight, total dissolved solids, differences in texture color, vitamin C and total acid. The results showed that the combination of low temperature storage treatment with a concentration of 700 ppm ethephon was the best treatment to form orange color on orange peel and maintain the shelf life of citrus fruits.

Viability of bur oak Quercus macrocarpa Michx. acorns was determined after 6 months storage at − 2°C (28°F), 1°C (34°F) and 5°C (41°F) and moisture contents of either 17%, 27%, 37% or 44%. Viability was significantly affected by moisture content with optimum germination occurring for acorns stored at 44% moisture. Optimum storage temperature was 1°C (34°F) although acorns tolerated subfreezing temperatures to − 2°C (28°F) with little loss in viability. Acorn moisture content had a greater effect on viability than storage temperature. Storage for up to 6 months had no detrimental effects on germination of bur oak acorns.
