Biochemical changes of three types of jackfruit pulp stored at low temperature were analyzed to make prediction whether the pulp could be made available year round by means of cold temperature treatment. Extracted fruit juice was stored at about - 200C and the analysis was carried out at 0 day, 30 day, 60 day, 90 day, 180 day and 270 day of storage period. The results show that there are significant changes in the chemical properties of jackfruit pulp during storage. Carotene and vitamin C content decreased gradually for all the varieties up to 270 days of storage period. TSS content increased slightly during storage. Total, reducing and non-reducing sugar contents were almost stable throughout the storage period. TA for all the varieties decreased and pH values increased.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v7i2.22215 J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 7(2): 93-97 2014

Objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of different post-harvest treatments on bio-chemical characters and diseases of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn, var. Bombai). The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Temperature viz. T1: Ambient temperature, T2: 4ºC temperature; Factor B: PP bags (Polypropylene bag) viz. P1: Control (unwrapped), P2: 50 micro meter (µm) PP bag, P3: 75µmm PP bag, P4: 100µm PP bag. The experiment was conducted in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Significant variation was observed in total soluble solid, PH of fruit pulp, vitamin c content, percent disease incidence and disease severity during the storage period. TSS contents increased up to the 6th day of storage and there after declined. pH values were maximum (4.14) in the fruits kept in 100µ polypropylene bag at ambient temperature. Vitamin C continent decreased with the increase of storage period. Disease incidence and severity progress with the storage period. Among the treated and untreated fruits, 75µm pp bag at low temperature (4ºC) treatment exhibited better storage performance. More research should be conducted by using other litchi cultivar like Bedana, China-3 etc. Various technologies have been devised to minimize the post-harvest losses of litchi, one of such technologies is the use of PP bag & low temperature.

Fully ripe 'Succary' pomegranate fruits were harvested from a private orchard in Ismailia, Egypt in 2015 & 2016 seasons. The fruits were packed in: 1- freely packed fruits (control) 2- sealed fresh bags of high ethylene absorption (HEA) 3- perforated polyethylene )PPE( 4- polyethylene (PE) film (stretchable cling film) 5- commercial PVC (poly vinyl chloride) pages. All packaging treatments were stored at 5 ºC and 90 – 95% RH for 12 weeks. Samples were taken every 2 weeks followed by 4 days at 20˚C. Fruit weight (g) rind thickness (mm), aril /fruit (%), juice content %, juice colour, SSC, acidity%, total sugars%, total phenols% and vitamin C were evaluated at harvest time. Chilling injury of the fruit was reduced by all packaging types. Changes in acidity, and SSC of the packed fruits were lower than that of freely packed fruits (control) during storage period. Cold storage at 5 °C with packaging treatments would be the best for preserving the freshness and vitamin C, increasing antioxidant activity, reducing chilling injury and maintaining fruit quality. Consequently, the fruits were more commercially acceptable.

The production of star fruit and pineapple in the city of Blitar is very high. Processing the fruit into pineapple star fruit juice is an attempt to utilize the fruit so that it is not damaged when production is very much. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of pineapple star fruit juice pasteurization temperature on color, vitamin C content and beta-carotene content of star fruit juice. This research is experimental research. The research design used was a completely randomized design (design), with one treatment, namely temperature pasteurization, which consisted of 3 levels, namely 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, each repeated 2 times. Observations were made on the physical properties of the color, the content of vitamin C and the content of beta-carotene. Data obtained from the laboratory, then analyzed using ANOVA, if a trial occurs with the DMRT test. The results showed that the pasteurization temperature influenced color, vitamin C content and beta carotene content of pineapple star fruit juice. In the pasteurization temperature treatment of 90°C, the highest level of color awareness (L) was 48.89) and the lowest reddish color level (value (a +) was 0.38). In the pasteurization temperature treatment of 70°C, the highest yellow level (highest (b +) value 5.725), the highest Vitamin C content (1,111mg) and the highest beta-carotene content (1.13 mg). From this research it can be denied that the brighter color of the 90°C pasteurization temperature treatment, the highest content of Vitamin C and beta-carotene content can be obtained from the pasteurization temperature measurement of 70°C.   Produksi buah belimbing dan buah nanas di kota Blitar cukup melimpah.

Abstract In this study, the effect of storage periods (0, 2, 3 and 4 months) on physico-chemical and colour properties of organic and conventional kiwifruits were investigated. The fruit mass, geometric mean diameter, volume of organic and conventional kiwifruits decreased with increasing storage period. The skin and flesh firmnesses were higher in organic kiwifruits than that of conventional kiwifruits. The organic acid contents was higher in conventional kiwifruits than that of organic kiwifruits; the sugar contents was higher in organic kiwifruits than that of conventional kiwifruits. Colour characteristics (L*, a*, b*) for skin fruit and fruit juice in organic and conventional kiwifruits were higher in conventional kiwifruits than that of organic kiwifruits. Results from this study showed that the physico-chemical properties and colour characteristics of organic and conventional kiwifruits were affected by storage periods.

&nbsp;In this four-year study, fruits of Golden Delicious cv. randomly sampled from four different orchards on M 9 were kept at 1 or 2<sup>o</sup>C in air storage, and in the course of storing individually assessed for weight, skin colour, skin blush, skin waxiness, flesh firmness, vitamin C content, total acid content, pH value, total sugars, dry matter and calcium content. Changes in some of these fruit quality characteristics during storage are presented and compared with their course during storage both in the cellar and ULO. The maximum storage life of the fruits in the air storage was estimated at 150 days on average. From individual fruit data, correlations between all the observed characteristics at different stages of the storage period were calculated. Fruit weight was positively correlated with dry matter, vitamin C, sugar and acid content, but negatively correlated with flesh firmness and calcium content. Fruits with more skin blush were correlated with higher vitamin C. Flesh firmness was mostly correlated with dry matter content, but negatively correlated with calcium content and pH values. Vitamin C content was positively correlated with total acids, but negatively correlated with pH values, sugar:acid ratio and calcium content. Total acids were negatively correlated with pH values and sugar:acid ratio. At the end of the storage period, the total acid content was also correlated with dry matter content. Total sugars were closely correlated with dry matter content and negatively correlated with calcium content.&nbsp; Calcium content was very closely negatively correlated with dry matter content, and also negatively correlated with the sugar:acid ratio. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
