Mango is a common fruit in tropical countries. Due to its short shelf-life, it is important to study alternative preservation and consumption methods. In this study, concentrated mango juice was used to produce mango powder by using spray drying process. Four process parameters with three levels variation each, including initial total soluble solid content (13, 14, 15◦Brix), maltodextrin content (20, 25, 30% w/w), inlet air temperature (170, 190, 210◦C), and atomization pressure (4, 5, 6 bar) were studied. Taguchi approach of L-9 (34) array was used to design the experiments.  Powder yield, moisture content, color difference, and solubility of the mango powder were investigated. It was found that maltodextrin content was the greatest factor affecting powder yield and color difference. The highest powder yield was 31.81%, and the least color difference (∆E) was 3.17. Inlet air temperature and atomization pressure were the most important factor affecting to moisture content and solubility, respectively, in which average moisture content was 2.98% (w.b.) and the highest solubility value was 94.66%. For the overall production process, it was concluded that maltodextrin content was the most important parameter, while total soluble solid content provided the least impact on spray dried mango powder properties.

Background: Phospholipase D (PLD)is closely related to browning and senescence of postharvest longan fruit. Objective: This study investigated the effects of 2-butanol (a PLD inhibitor) on the expression and regulation of PLD during storage of longan fruit at a low temperature. Methods: Senescence-related quality indices showed that the 2-butanol-treated fruit presented lower pericarp browning index, pulp breakdown index and total soluble solid value than the untreated fruit. Results: The fruit treated by 60 µL/L 2-butanol exhibited the strongest inhibition on senescence, which significantly delayed changes in weight, titratable acidity content, total soluble solid content and ascorbic acid content. This treatment maintained a high level of total phenolic content and caused significant inhibition on pericarp browning and pulp breakdown. Through ELISA method, 60 µL/L 2-butanol treatment also reduced PLD activity. Real-time RT-PCR (RT-qPCR) results showed that PLD mRNA expression level was inhibited by 60 µL/L 2-butanol within 15 days. Western-blotting results further confirmed the differential expression of PLD during storage, and a relatively higher expression for PLD protein was found in control compared to the 2-butanoltreated fruit during 15-d storage. Conclusion: These results provided a scientific basis and reference to further investigating postharvest longan quality maintenance by regulating the PLD gene expression.

The rheological behaviour of enzyme clarified Lime (Citrus aurontifolia L.) juice was studied as a function of the total soluble solid (TSS) content (7.3&ndash;55.7&deg;Brix), corresponding water activity (a<sub>w</sub>) (0.985&ndash;0.831) at different temperatures (20&ndash;80<sup>o</sup>C) using co-axial controlled stress rheometer. The rheological parameter shear stress was measured up to the shear rate of 600 s<sup>&ndash;1</sup>. The investigation showed that the enzyme clarified lime juice and its concentrate behaved like a Newtonian fluid with the viscosity (&eta;) being in the range 3.964 to 50.290 mPa s depending upon the concentration and temperature used. The temperature dependency on the viscosity of lime juice was described by Arrhenius equation (r &gt; 0.99) and the activation energy (E<sub>a</sub>) of viscous flow was in the range 4.151 to 26.050 kJ/mol depending upon the total soluble solids content. The effect of total soluble solid content on the flow activation energy was described by exponential type equation (r &gt; 0.98) and that of water activity was described by both the power law and exponential equations (r &gt; 0.99). The effect of total soluble solid content on the viscosity of lime juice followed the second order exponential equation (r &gt; 0.99) at the temperature used. The effect of water activity on the viscosity was described by both the power law and exponential type relationship (r &gt; 0.97). The equations relating to the combined effect of temperature and total soluble solids content/water activity on the viscosity of enzyme clarified lime juice were established. &nbsp;

Objectives: To evaluate in vitro the endogenous pH, titratable acidity and total soluble solid content (TSSC) of mouthwashes available in the Brazilian market.Methods: The study sample was composed of 10 commercial brands of mouthwashes based on different active ingredients: Cepacol®, Clinerize®, Equate®, Listerine Cool Citrus®, Oral-B®, Periogard ®, Peroxyl®, Plax Overnight®, Prevident 220® and Sanifill®. The experiments were performed in triplicate. The endogenous pH was evaluated by potentiometry, titratable acidity was evaluated by the addition of 0.1N KOH increments to the mouthwashes, and TSSC readings were performed by Brix refractometry using the Abbé refractometer.Results: pH values ranged from 3.56 (Peroxyl®) to 7.43 (Cepacol®) and three mouthwashes presented pHs below 5.5. The titratable acidity values ranged from 0.007 (Periograd®) to 0.530 (Prevident ®). Oral B® and Clinerize® presented the lowest (4.7%) and the highest (23.70%) TSSC, respectively.Conclusions: Some of the mouthwashes evaluated in this study presented low endogenous pH, even below the critical value for enamel dissolution (pH<5.5), high titratable acidity and high TSSC, and may be potentially erosive to the dental tissues if not properly used.

From a series of 4 × 4 diallel crosses in the red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.), it was determined that inheritance was predominantly additive for fruit yield and weight, fall-fruiting habit, day of flowering and total soluble solid content. However, it was mainly nonadditive for numbers of cane branches and laterals. Inbreeding depression was found for the yield of seedlings from sib-crosses within individual diallels. Reciprocal differences were noted for some characters.

Malaysia is a tropical country which is rich in various kinds of local fruits. Each has unique characteristics that could be explored further. Some of their compositions can play an important role in improving human life. The research aimed to evaluate the physicochemical composition and organic acid in 5 types of local fruit species in Malaysia, namely Averrhoa bilimbi, Eleiodoxa conferta, Mangifera indica, Phyllanthus acidus and Bouea oppositifolia at different maturity stages. It was observed that titratable acidity significantly decreased with the increasing maturity, while total soluble solid content and pH increased with maturity. All local fruit species at the ripe stage have higher total soluble solid content compared to young stage. Oxalic acid and ascorbic acid were present at all maturity stages of the five local fruit species. Tartaric acid was only present in Bouea oppositifolia while malic acid was present in all local fruit species except for Mangifera indica.
