Sweet corn has short shelf life at room temperature storage in the tropical countries (28-33°C). The quality deterioration of sweet corn can be determined by the decrease of its sugar content. The study aimed to estimate the shelf life of sweet corn based on the reduction of its total soluble solid (TSS) by using Arrhenius model. The samples were prepared from fresh harvested corn stored for 10 days at 3 different temperatures of 5, 15 and 28 °C. Total soluble solid (TSS) were analyzed every day by using abbe refractrometer. Organoleptic analysis was used by using hedonic scales from 1 to 7. The analysis was conducted until respondents had graded the samples at score 5 (dislike slightly), 6 (dislike) and approaches can be used to calculate the shelf life of sweet corn. The acceleration factor for the TSS degradation at null approach, it was estimated that if the sweet corn were stored at temperature of 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 and 5°C, the shelf temperatures, the shelf life of sweet corn would be 3.7, 4.5, 5.6, 6.8, 8.4, and 10.3 days. In conclusion, the shelf life predictions of sweet corn were valid well with the experimental results.

The information about shelf life of tomato is necessary for its post harvest handling to reduce the loss facing by farmers and sellers. The study aimed to observe that the Arrhenius model and Q10 can be used to estimate the shelf life of tomatoes based on its total soluble solid (TSS). The fresh tomatoes obtained from the market were stored at three extreme temperatures i.e. 50˚C, 60 ˚C, and 70 ˚C. During the storing, the TSS was analyzed every hour, until the tomatoes quality was decreased. The TSS was observed by using refractometer. The Arrhenius model were evaluate through the TSS model in linier model. The shelf life estimation were calculated by Q10 method. Results showed that the Arrhenius model of TSS changes in tomatoes was k = k = 7.46x1012. e -8,666/T. The energy activation of TSS changes was about 17,158 kal/mol. The Q10 value was 2.18. The estimation of tomato shelf life can be run successfully by using the Arrhenius and Q10 approach, both at storage temperature basis of 10 and 30 °C. The shelf life of tomatoes at storage temperature 30 were 4.4 and 5 days, respectively, whereas at storage temperature 10 °C were 21 and 23.8 days, respectively. Therefore it is recommended for the further study to evaluate the other quality parameter changes such as vitamin C and hardness to improve the model.

Nilai faktor percepatan reaksi (Q10) TPT buah kembang kol adalah 0,73, sedangkan umur simpan aktual buah kembang kol pada suhu 29˚C adalah 5 hari. Hasil pendugaan umur simpan kembang kol pada suhu  5, 10, 15, 20, dan 25˚C adalah 2,3 hari, 2,7 hari, 3,2 hari, 3,8 hari, dan 4,4 hari. Hasil pendugaan ini belum sesuai dengan umur simpan actual kembang kol.Shelf-life Estimation of Cauliflower based on Total Soluble Solids by using the Arrhenius and Q10 ApproachAbstract. The shelf-life information of cauliflower is very important for the good post harvest handling thus it can reduce loss facing by farmers or sellers. The study aimed to estimate the shelf-life of cauliflower based on its total soluble solid (TSS) by using Arrhenius and Q10 approach. The selected cauliflowers obtained from the local market were stored at extreme temperatures i.e. 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70˚C. During storage at extreme temperature, the TSS values were determined until the cauliflowers quality broken. The TSS data were plot into a graph as linear model. The k values were the slope of the curve. The linear curve between ln k value and 1/T at unit of K performed the Arrhenius model. The storage at room temperature was also conducted to observe the real shelf-life of cauliflower. Finally, by using the Q10 value, the shelf-life of cauliflower was estimated. Results showed that there were fluctuated changes of TSS during storage. At temperature of 50˚C the incident increase of TSS was about 0.001%brix hourly, at temperature of 55˚C the increase of TSS was about 0.005%brix hourly, whereas at temperature of 65 and 70˚C, the decrease of TSS was about 0.001%brix hourly. The R-square values were very low from3 to 43% only. The Arrhenius model of the TSS changes in cauliflower was(R2 =12.7%). The Q10 value was 0.73, and the real shelf-life of cauliflower at 29˚C was 5 days. The shelf-life estimations of cauliflower at  5, 10, 15, 20, and 25˚C were 2.3 days, 2.7 days, 3.2 days, 3.8 days, and 4.4 days, respectively. These estimated results of shelf-life were not suitable with the actual shelf-life.Therefore, it is necessary to study the shelf-life esrtyimation of cauliflower by using other parameters such as vitamin A and vitamin C.

The objective of this study was to determine genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, genotypic and phenotypic correlations of yield, yield components and kernel quality traits in seven sweet corn varieties. The present research was conducted during 2009 and 2010 growing season in Eskisehir, midwestern Turkey. The trials were set up in randomised complete block design with four replications. Analysis of variance observed highly significant differences for all the examined traits in both years. Sugar content, soluble solid concentration and number of leaves per plant revealed the highest genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation values. The high heritability estimates coupled with high genetic advance for sugar content, soluble solid concentration and starch content. Positive correlations were revealed between yield (husked, dehusked and fresh kernel) and yield components except plant height and 1000 seed weight. Negative correlations were found between kernel quality and yield and yield related traits. It can be concluded that, husked ear weight and dehusked ear weight could be used as the main criteria for yield improvement. It should be unfeasible to develop sweet corn varieties with satisfactory yield potential and improved kernel quality for the different sweet corn markets.

As a part of the study to explore the possible strategy for enhancing the shelf life of mango fruits, we investigated the changes in biochemical parameters and activities of ripening associated enzymes of Ashwina hybrid mangoes at 4-day regular intervals during storage at −10°C, 4°C, and30±1°C. Titratable acidity, vitamin C, starch content, and reducing sugar were higher at unripe state and gradually decreased with the increasing of storage time at all storage temperatures while phenol content, total soluble solid, total sugar, and nonreducing sugar contents gradually increased. The activities of amylase,α-mannosidase,α-glucosidase, and invertase increased sharply within first few days and decreased significantly in the later stage of ripening at30±1°C. Meanwhile polyphenol oxidase,β-galactosidase, andβ-hexosaminidase predominantly increased significantly with the increasing days of storage till later stage of ripening. At −10°C and 4°C, the enzymes as well as carbohydrate contents of storage mango changed slightly up to 4 days and thereafter the enzyme became fully dormant. The results indicated that increase in storage temperature and time correlated with changes in biochemical parameters and activities of glycosidases suggested the suppression ofβ-galactosidase andβ-hexosaminidase might enhance the shelf life of mango fruits.

Edible film made up of modified tapioca was used to wrap tempeh and its shelf life estimation was determined. The edible films must be capable of evenly aerating and maintaining moisture without causing condensation in order mycelium to be able to grow and produce high-quality tempeh. The experiment was carried out in completely randomized design with two main factors of storage temperature and time. An accelerated shelf life test at 17oC, 27oC, and 37oC with an Arrhenius model was used to calculate the shelf life, and water content was used as quality parameter indicator. The result showed that modified-tapioca based edible film made from fermentation of tapioca by Saccharomyces cerevisiae was characterized as having elongation of 11.40 %, tensile strength of 408.37 MPa, thickness of 0.88 mm and WVTR of 12.60 g/m2/h. Rate constant of water content decrease in edible film wrapped tempeh based on Arrhenius model was 0.3832 % day-1 and Ea was 10.296 kkal/gmol, while that of in PP-plastic wrapped tempeh was 0.3831% day-1 and Ea was 9.998 kkal/gmol. The shelf life of edible film wrapped tempeh was 9.39 days at 27oC, 5.18 days at 27oC, and 2.96 days at 37oC, while shelf life of PP-plastic wrapped tempeh was 8.64 days at 17oC, 4.85 days at 27 oC, and 2.82 days at 37oC. Therefore, it can be concluded that modified tapioca based edible film increased the shelf life of tempeh.

The effect of the processing temperature, of the addition of sugar to 45° and 59° Brix and of the addition of four levels of ascorbic acid, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 g. per pound, on the quality, shelf-life, and ascorbic acid retention of frozen soursop pulp was investigated. When unsweetened soursop pulps were processed at temperatures ranging from 74° to 200° F., no appreciable change in organoleptic properties were observed during a period of storage at —10° F. for over 400 days, in the pulps heated below 200° F. The pulp heated to 200° F. was found inferior to the others. No change in chemical composition or color was observed. The data for the ascorbic acid retention during storage do not show any definite trend which could be related to a temperature effect. Ascorbic acid retention varied from 70.8 to 94.3 percent. Pulps with cane sugar added to 45° to 59° Brix, respectively, and heated to temperatures ranging from 72° to 225° F. behaved like the unsweetened pulps when stored at —10° F. for about 400 days. No change in total acidity, pH, total and reducing-sugar content, or color was observed during the storage period. In the samples sweetened to 45° Brix, ascorbic retention values ranged from 98.18 to 133.9 percent. The retention of ascorbic acid in the 59° Brix pulps ranged from 75.0 to 91.7 percent, with the lower retention found in the sample processed at 225° F. Neither heating to different temperatures nor the addition of two levels of sugar were found to affect the shelf-life. Pulps processed at 175° F. and enriched by the addition of 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 g. of ascorbic acid per pound retained their flavor very well during the storage period showing less change in the organoleptic rating than the unriched sweetened and unsweetened pulps. The level of ascorbic acid had no effect on shelf-life or sample quality. Ascorbic acid retention ranged from 94.1 to 104.6 percent. No change in other chemical constituents or color were observed during the period of observation. Heating of the pulps reduced the plate counts of microorganisms. When the pulps were heated to about 175° F., almost sterile packs were obtained. Peroxidases were inactivated at 150° F. in the unsweetened pulps and at 185° F. in the sweetened. The results of this work indicate that two types of products can be prepared from soursop pulp: 1, A frozen pulp without sugar added, to be used for the manufacture of nectars, drinks, ice creams, and other similar products; and 2, a nectar base for direct consumer use prepared by the addition of sugar to 45° or 59° Brix which can be reconstituted for serving by the addition of 3 volumes of water. The addition of ascorbic acid to the nectar base would improve the shelf-life and the resulting product would have a vitamin C content higher than that contained in orange juice.

The present study had been conducted to study the shelf life of grapes with coatings of Aloe Vera suspended in water with concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 30 per cent Aloe veraand was stored in poly packaging and open plates under different temperatures of 0⁰C and 30⁰C in refrigerator and incubator. The data was compared with the original shelf life of grapes to determine the efficiency of the Aloe Vera coating. Aloe Vera based coatings provided good gloss and 20 per cent coating concentration gave the best visual and physicochemical results. It was found that 20 per cent coating concentration of Aloe Vera is the most effective and appropriate for the extension of shelf life of grapes.It was also found that the use of low temperature storage in combination with edible coating and packaging extends marketability by reducing moisture loss.In short, the shelf life of grapes can be increased by using Aloe Vera gel coating and the spoilage due to fungal infection of grapes can be reduced.

A detailed study was carried out with the postharvest mangoes (namely, the Langra and the Khirshapat) treated with different levels of Bavistin DF (BDF) solution (namely, 250, 500, and 750 ppm) for obtaining results on biochemical changes as well as storability of postharvest mango. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replicates. The results of the experiments exhibited that only the single effect of varieties was found to be significant in most of the parameters studied. The Langra enriched a greater quantity of titratable acidity and total soluble solid (TSS) at 3rd day, over the Khirshapat. On the other hand, Khirshapat showed increased pulp pH and TSS at all the storage duration. The results explored that some physicochemical properties, namely, pulp pH, TSS, sugar (total, reducing, and nonreducing), and titratable acidity along with shelf life drastically decreased from untreated mangoes. Bavistin DF with the doses of 750 ppm showed better results in delaying the changes in physicochemical properties and extended shelf life.
