The Impact

This research investigated the impact of the concentration of pineapple juice on the characteristics of pineapple wine during fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. burgundy. Three ratios of fresh pineapple juice to water were mixed to obtain three treatments, which were T1—2:1, T2—1:1, and T3—1:2. The °Brix and pH of all pineapple juice and water ratios were adjusted to 25 and 4, respectively. The results showed that changes in alcohol, pH, Total Soluble Solids (TSS), Total Titratable Acidity (TAA, as citric acid), and Volatile Acidity (VA, as acetic acid) during the 10-day fermentation among three treatments were significantly different. The highest alcohol content was obtained from the 2:1 with values of 10.71% (v/v). The mixed ratio at 1:1 and 1:2 obtained the alcohol value of 9.61 and 8.35% (v/v), respectively. After ten days of fermentation, TSS, pH values, TAA, and VA were in the range of 9.7–13 °Brix, 3.56–3.82, 0.384–0.448, and 0.0013–0.0016, respectively. However, the appearance, aroma, and taste of all ratios were not significantly different. Sweetness and overall liking, wine with pineapple juice/water ratio at 2:1 had the highest score (p ≤ 0.05). The total antioxidant activities determined by DPPH and total phenolic content were 0.91 mmol/L TE and 365.80 mg/L GAE, respectively, as confirmed by FTIR spectral analyses.

The Relationship

Abstract Flowers have received special attention not only for their ornamental nature but also for their nutraceutical, cosmetic, aromatic, and culinary properties. This study aimed to characterize physicochemical attributes and the antioxidant capacity of flowers of four gladiolus cultivars. The cultivars used were White Friendship, Rose Supreme, Jester, and T704. We analyzed the content of total soluble solids (SS), total titratable acidity (TA), SS/TA ratio, pH, vitamin C, anthocyanin, flavonoids, total phenolic compounds (TPC), total antioxidant activity (TAA), and the relationship of TPC with flavonoids and TAA for each cultivar. The results showed that the Jester flowers had the lowest TA and highest SS/TA ratio, indicating the best flavor. Jester also had the highest flavonoid content, similarly to the White Friendship and Rose Supreme. As a result, these cultivars have flowers with higher TPC and TAA content than T704. The anthocyanin content was the characteristic attribute of cultivar T704, due to its purple pigmentation. Gladiolus flowers, traditionally used in landscaping and as cut flowers, have the potential for use in human nutrition, particularly the White Friendship, Rose Supreme, and Jester cultivars.

Microbiological Properties

The impact of ozone concentration and ozonisation time on the selected chemical, physical and microbiological properties of Rapanui tomatoes was investigated. Tomatoes were exposed to gaseous ozone at concentrations of 0.9 and 2.5 mg L−1 (c1, c2) for 30 and 120 min (t1, t2), and stored for up to 15 days at a temperature of 12 ± 1 °C. The following parameters were evaluated: titratable acidity, total soluble solids, total phenolic and flavonoid contents, lycopene, total carotenoids, vitamin C, total antioxidant activity, colour L* a* b* and firmness. Ozonated fruit had higher levels of total soluble solids and higher levels of titratable acidity during and after storage. Exposure of tomatoes to a cooling atmosphere, applying recommended ozonisation process parameters, efficiently inactivated microorganisms that are present on the surface and reduced fruit weight loss, while retaining their firmness and stable colour.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the impact of N fertilization on fruit production and composition in orange groves grown in soils with low or medium organic matter content in Rio Grande do Sul (RS). This study aimed to evaluate how N fertilization of orange trees cv. 'Lane Late' in a sandy soil may interfere in fruit yield and composition of fruit and juice. The experiment was conducted with orange trees cv. 'Lane Late' growing in Sandy Typic Hapludalf soil, in Rosário do Sul (RS). The plants received applications of 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160kg N ha-1. Total N in leaves, number of fruits per plant, yield, fresh weight, fruit diameter, peel thickness, percentage of fruit juice, peel color, juice color, ascorbic acid content, total soluble solids (TSS) and total titratable acidity were evaluated in 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 crops. In the first crop, especially yield, number of fruits per plant, TSS content in fruit juice and ratio decreased with increasing N rate applied. However, in the second crop, the total titratable acidity of the fruit juice prominently increased with the dose of N applied. In both crops, results were highly influenced by rainfall distribution, which affect the plant physiology, soil N dynamics and, consequently, probability of response to N applied and the loss of mineral N in the soil.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to study the effect of the auxin naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and the brassinosteroid 28-homocastasterone (28-HCS) applied every 15 days (harvest 2015/16) or every 21 days (harvest 2016/17) after full bloom, on the physical, chemical and biochemical attributes of the ‘Galaxy’ apples. The study was performed at a commercial orchard at Vacaria county, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. The following treatments were applied: water (control), NAA (0.1%), 28-HCS (10‒6 M) and NAA (0.1%) + 28-HCS (10‒6 M). For this purpose, 300 μL of the plant growth regulator solutions were applied to the fruit peduncles. Fruits treated with NAA every 21 days presented higher starch-iodine index and lower total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), lightness index (L) and hue angle (h°) than 28-HCS-treated fruits. Fruits treated every 15 days with NAA presented reduced skin rupture force (SRF), total antioxidant activities (TAA) of the skin and flesh, and hydrogen peroxide content compared to the control fruits. In addition, NAA application every 15 and 21 days resulted in increased anthocyanin content in the skin. Application of NAA + 28-HCS reduced superoxide dismutase activity. 28-HCS applications increased TSS, color attributes (C and h°) of the skin, total antioxidant activity of the skin and flesh and peroxidase activity compared to control fruits. These results are expected to help to understand how plant growth regulators affect apple quality. In addition, results described here are also expected to help on the development of strategies to reduce post harvest losses and to increase fruit shelf life.

Background: The xoconostle (Opuntia joconostle Web.) plant is produced mainly in the Central Highlands region of Mexico. The main aim of this research was to determine the effect of pasteurization on chemical and functional properties of xoconostle juice. Methods: Total Soluble Solids (TSS), pH, Titratable Acidity (TA), total phenolic and flavonoid content, betacyanins, betaxanthins, and reducing and non-reducing sugars contents were determined in both unpasteurized and pasteurized xoconostle juices. In vivo assay using Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) was done in male rats to evaluate the anti-hyperglycemic effect of juice. Data were statistically analyzed using SigmaPlot. Results: There was a meaningful increasing (p<0.05) in the pigment contents after the pasteurization process, as betacyanins and betaxanthins contents increased to 0.112 and 0.096 µg/g, respectively. In spite of pasteurized xoconostle, the unpasteurized group showed anti-hyperglycemic effects at 60 min of OGTT. Conclusion: Pasteurization temperature had no adverse effect on the antioxidant activities of xoconostle fruit. Although fresh xoconostle juice revealed considerable anti-hyperglycemic properties in rats, this effect was not found in the pasteurized xoconostle juice.

Aim: The recent increase in demand of non-alcoholic beverages (alcohol-free beer and wine) due to health reasons, religious doctrines, tribal influence and personal perception in the past few years, has triggered research interest in alcohol removal and separation processes. This study is aimed at producing and evaluating alcohol-free beer and wine using a simple distillation technique. Study Design: This study was made to fit into using a combination of T-test and one way Analysis of Variance. Place and duration of Study: The research was carried out at Department of Food Science and Technology laboratory, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria, between February 2018 and November 2018. Methodology: The physicochemical properties of pineapple juice and sorghum wort as well as pineapple wine and sorghum beer were evaluated and the parameters measured were pH, brix, total titratable acidity, total soluble solids, specific gravity, ethanol content, esters and higher alcohols. Results: Wine from pineapple juice and beer from sorghum wort were dealcoholized using distillation technique to obtain a dealcoholized wine and dealcoholized beer respectively. The dealcoholized products were also evaluated for pH, brix, total titratable acidity, total soluble solids, specific gravity, ethanol content, esters and higher alcohols using recommended methods. Results showed that significant difference (p<0.05) exists between dealcoholized products and their corresponding wine and beer for pH, brix, titratable acidity and specific gravity. Conclusion: The dealcoholization process performed using simple distillation technique caused complete removal of ethanol from pineapple wine and sorghum beer. Higher alcohols and esters which contributes significantly to the sensory quality in alcoholic beverages were also completely lost because of the distillation operation. Hence, flavour enrichment may be required to produce a pleasurable and delicious alcohol-free product.

Background: Ogi from locally available cereals remains a relatively affordable complementary food in West Africa, but has a tendency to spoil due it high moisture content. This study explored effects of garlic and ginger as biopreservatives in ogi flour. Methods: Ogi flour was prepared from sorghum and quality protein maize grains with different concentrations of garlic and ginger powder (2 and 4% w/w) by fermentation technique. These samples were stored for 16 weeks during which the total titratable acidity, pH, proximate composition, mineral content and total antioxidant activities were determined. Results: The proximate compositions of bio-preserved ogi samples were relatively stable throughout storage. The addition of garlic and ginger slightly increased the ash (0.04%), crude protein and mineral contents (mg/ 100g) of the samples.  Magnesium (10.85-13.13 and 5.17-9.72); zinc (1.37-1.78 and 7.01-8.50), manganese (1.30-1.71 and 0.45-0.86) and iron (1.53-1.77 and 0.68-2.77) contents increased on addition (of garlic and ginger) to maize ogi and sorghum ogi flours respectively. The free radical scavenging activity; total phenolic and flavonoid contents increased correspondingly with the antioxidants activity. Conclusion: Although not well known to ogi consumer, the bio-preserved ogi flours showed better nutritional values and have potential as a health food.

Sweet Cherry Cultivars

Transportation of sweet cherry fruits to distant markets and further marketing processes often takes approximately 2-3 weeks. The present study investigates the quality changes during this time period at three stages for three sweet cherry cultivars: ‘Early Burlat’, ‘Napoleon’, and ‘0900 Ziraat’. Following pre-cooling, the sweet cherries were placed in modified atmosphere packages and exposed to the following stages for the indicated durations: transportation (T) [8 days at 2 °C and 85% relative humidity (RH)]; distribution center (DC) (4 days at 6.5 °C and 80% RH), and shelf-life (SL) (2 days at 19 °C and 70% RH). Weight losses at the end of the SL stage were 3.11, 3.18, and 2.74%, respectively in ‘Early Burlat’, ‘Napoleon’ and ‘0900 Ziraat’.Fruit firmness decreased after SL as compared to that at other stages and was more remarkable in ‘0900 Ziraat’. Decreased Chroma values which indicates, the intensity or color saturation were observed in all cultivars, whereas decreased hue angle values colours expressed in degrees were observed in the ‘Early Burlat’ and ‘0900 Ziraat’. In addition, a decrease was noted in the titratable acidity of all cultivars at the end of SL. The total soluble solids, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activities were similar for all cultivars at all stages. The visual appearance scores of ‘Early Burlat’ cherries decreased at the end of SL, because of development of pitting on the fruit surface. The fruit quality changes were limited at T and DC stages; however, these changes became more distinctive during the SL period. It was thus concluded that the SL duration and conditions were of the highest significance with regard to maintenance of the sweet cherry fruit quality.

Abstract The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of storage temperature, in passive modified atmosphere (MA) and atmospheric composition in active MA on quality maintenance, total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total antioxidant activity (TAA; DPPH and ABTS methods) of ‘Tupy’ blackberry. Two experiments were carried out. In experiment 1, the fruit were stored for eight days at 0, 5 and 10 °C in passive MA. In experiment 2, the initial atmospheres of 21.0 kPa O2 + 0.04 kPa CO2 (passive MA); 9.2 kPa O2 + 9.2 kPa CO2 (active MA with high CO2); 1.4 kPa O2 + 0.04 kPa CO2 (active MA with low O2); and 1.4 kPa O2 + 9.6 kPa CO2 (active MA with low O2 + high CO2) were evaluated for eight days at 0 °C. In both experiments, the fruit were packed in Xtend® plastic films. After eight days of storage in passive MA, temperatures of 0 and 5 ºC provided fruit with higher force to compression and titratable acidity (TA) and lower soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio (SS/TA), but with lower values of TPC and TAA (DPPH method) when compared to the temperature of 10 °C. The fruits stored at 0 °C presented lower values of weight loss and incidence of decay. Blackberries stored for eight days at 0 °C, in active MA with low O2, associated or not with high CO2, presented lower respiration rate and higher values of TPC and TAA (DPPH method), but did not differ in the values of incidence of decay, force to compression, SS, TA, SS/TA ratio and color attributes when compared to active MA with high CO2 and passive MA.
