We developed additive-free fruit leather made from snake fruit (Salacca sp.), one of the exotic fruits of Madura, Indonesia. Mature snake fruit variety native of Bangkalan Regency was peeled, the seed was discarded, and flesh was blanched for 5 minutes, cooled and then crushed in an electric blender to form a smooth slurry. The slurry was then cooked until thick, spread onto a flat surface, and then dried in an oven at 60°C until dry. Fruit leather with a water content of around 10% was kept in aluminium foil or polypropylene plastic bag at 25 and 35°C for 3 weeks.  Every week, fruit leather was examined for tensile strength, water activity, colour (L, a b*values), and titratable acidity. Sensory analysis was performed using ten semi-trained panellists to score hardness, chewiness, sweetness, astringency, aroma, shininess, and cohesiveness. Results indicated that tensile strength apparently increased during storage. Polypropylene bag showed lower water activity and value, but higher titratable acidity of fruit leather. Storage time increased water activity, titratable acidity, but reduced all colour parameters. Higher storage temperature led to higher L and b values. On the contrary, sensory analysis results indicated the limited effect of factors studied. The shininess of fruit leather reduced with the progress of storage, and cohesiveness increased in the first week of storage only, followed by constant reduce towards the storage time. Astringency in snake fruit is a limiting factor. However, snake fruit leather showed moderate level (4.6 out of 9 score) of astringency.

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.

The adequacy of the best storage temperature for fruits and vegetables is an essential measure that helps in maintaining quality and extending shelf life. In this sense, this work aimed to study the influence of temperature on the quality of the marolo (Annona crassiflora Mart) “in natura”, where the fruits were washed, sanitized with 1,216 µM hypochlorite solution, and stored at 4 different temperatures (0, 6, 12, and 20 ° C) controlling the relative humidity (80 to 90%). The parameters color L*a*b*, pH, titratable acidity, soluble solids, firmness, total and soluble pectins, enzymes (pectinamethylesterase and polygalacturonase), and vitamin C were analyzed at different storage times. The maximum storage period was 8 days for fruits kept at 0 and 6 °C. The use of higher temperatures (12 and 20 °C) resulted in a shorter storage time (6 and 4 days, respectively). We found that the color parameter L*a*b* was not influenced by time and temperature during the process, while firmness and soluble solids were affected only by temperature. On the other hand, the parameters pH, titratable acidity, total and soluble pectin, enzymes (pectinamethylesterase and polygalacturonase), and vitamin C were influenced by both temperature and storage time (p <0.05). Thus, we prove that to increase shelf life and maintain the best characteristics for consumption, the marolo must be stored between 0 and 6 °C.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physical-chemical profile of raw sheep milk and the influence of storage temperature on the population of microorganisms. Sheep milk samples were collected from the milk cans (500 mL/sample) and were evaluated the physical-chemical composition: fat, protein, lactose, ash content, total dry matter (TDM), cryoscopy index (°H), titratable acidity, and somatic cell count (SCC). After the samples were stored at 4°C and 9°C (72 h) and the titratable acidity, the population of the deteriorating microorganisms and quality indicators were determined. PetrifilmTM (3M do Brasil Ltda) were used for the mesophilic aerobic count (37°C/48 h), total coliforms (37°C/24 h), Escherichia coli (37°C/48 h), and enterobacteria (37°C/24 h). For psychrotrophic bacteria, was used Plate Count Agar (7ºC/10 days) and for Pseudomonas spp., CFC-supplemented Pseudomonas agar base (25ºC/48 h). Average values for raw milk were 6.28% fat, 83.46% moisture, 16.52% TDM, 0.92% ash, 5.30% protein, 4.43% lactose, a cryoscopy index of -0.575°H, and SCC of 3.38 x 106 cells/mL. Milk acidity values were higher (0.24 g lactic acid/100 ml) with 72 hours of storage. The higher the temperature and/or storage time, the higher the counts of psychrotrophic, Pseudomonas spp., and enterobacteria, for mesophilic aerobic only the storage time. Refrigeration at 4ºC and a reduction of storage time are important to control the microorganism’s population that compromise the quality, shelf life, and food safety of sheep milk and dairy products.

Certain physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the flavoured kefir drink were studied during refrigerated storage. Kefir drink batches were prepared using 2% addition of kefir grains, incubation for 18 h and subsequent filtration. The batches were then flavoured with blackberry, raspberry and strawberry aromas in the concentrations of 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15%, respectively. The samples were taken for analysis on 1<sup>st</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup>, 7<sup>th</sup>, and 10<sup>th</sup> days of storage at 4 &plusmn; 1&deg;C. The sensory analysis of the flavoured kefir samples revealed the best acceptability level on the 4<sup>th</sup> day of storage. Nevertheless, the samples were acceptable all throughout the storage. The percentage of the aroma addition significantly influenced the odour, flavour, texture, and mouth-feel, and the overall acceptability ratings. The higher percentage of the added aroma the more sensed, however, the lowest aroma addition was preferable. The pHs of the flavoured kefir drinks decreased throughout the storage time whereas, the titratable acidity, alcohol content and CO<sub>2</sub> values increased.

Different seed storage methods, varying in storage temperature, moisture and/or oxygen content, were applied to commercial sugar beet seed lots from four breeding companies. After storage for 10–11 months, germination of the seed was tested in the laboratory (cold test, 10°C). In addition, the contents of active ingredients (fungicides and insecticide) were analyzed and compared with the initial contents before storage. Based on these results, a selection of the most promising storage methods was made to test plant emergence in a field experiment. This research was performed in 2015/16 and in 2016/17. In both years, two storage treatments outperformed the others: these were storage in a closed jar with the addition of moisture absorber (i.e. silica gel) at room temperature and storage at –18°C in a closed plastic bag. Using these two storage methods, seed vigour and contents of active ingredients were comparable to those in seed that had not been stored for one year. Based on the results from this study, the advice to growers for a successful storage of residual sugar beet seed was adjusted in 2017, after including some practical guidelines and considerations.

Mango fruits `Criollo de Bocado' harvested at the mature-green stage were treated with a hydrothermic treatment of 55 °C for 3 min and stored for 20 days at temperatures of 10 ± 2, 15 ± 2 and 28 ± 2 °C. A randomized design 2 × 3 × 4 with three replications was used. Some chemical parameters were analyzed, such as total soluble solids content (% TSS), pH, tritatable acidity, and TSS/tritatable acidity ratio. TSS content increased with storage time at low temperature. The pH increased measurably with storage temperature, while tritatable acidity values results had inconsistent data.

The values of freezing point, titratable and active acidities, conductivity, water activity, humidity, nonfat milk solids the of samples of market bioyoghurt were analyzed. They significantly differ from the same row milk indicators. So, they demonstrated lower values of freezing point, active acidity, water activity, humidity, and increased values of titratable acidity and conductivity, and nonfat milk solids. A large dispersion of the studied products’ properties was found for each manufacturer production as well as between producers. Yoghurts with Bifidobacterium that were produced at the Brest region had the highest values of рН, nonfat milk solids and lowest values of freezing point and humidity. This fact evidences the manufacturer has a well-established technological process for the production of bioyogurt and traceability of raw milk supply. The boundaries of the confidence intervals of physical and chemical properties both by individual manufacturers and jointly were determined. A close relationship between conductivity and freezing point in bioyoghurts of some manufacturers has been found. The dynamics of their changes in last years is traced.
