The production and consumption of fresh mushrooms has experienced a significant increase in recent decades. This trend has been driven mainly by their nutritional value and by the presence of bioactive and nutraceutical components that are associated with health benefits, which has led some to consider them a functional food. Mushrooms represent an attractive food for vegetarian and vegan consumers due to their high contents of high-biological-value proteins and vitamin D. However, due to their high respiratory rate, high water content, and lack of a cuticular structure, mushrooms rapidly lose quality and have a short shelf life after harvest, which limits their commercialization in the fresh state. Several traditional preservation methods are used to maintain their quality and extend their shelf life. This article reviews some preservation methods that are commonly used to preserve fresh mushrooms and promising new preservation techniques, highlighting the use of new packaging systems and regulations aimed at the development of more sustainable packaging.

Red Snappers contain high content protein and water which makes them highly perishable. However, they are widely processed into the fillet. One of the disadvantages of filleting is the short shelf life due to the high water content turning the fillets into an ideal media for bacteria. The edible coating protects the meat from perishability by reducing the water vapor, aroma, and lipid migration. One of the potential protein sources for coating is gelatin. The essential oil content that has a role in inhibiting bacterial growth is citronellal. The present study aimed to determine the effects of adding Kaffir limes (Citrus hystrix) leaf essential oil to a gelatin coating on the shelf life of red snappers’ fillet. An experiment was conducted using a completely randomized design with four treatment groups based on the concentration of Citrus hystrix essential oil and five replications (n = 3 per group). In this regard, the treatments were named P0 (0% of Citrus hystrix), P1 (1% of Citrus hystrix), P2 (1.5% of Citrus hystrix), and P3 (2% of Citrus hystrix). The investigated parameters included total plate count, sensory quality, and acidity. Data analysis was performed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results showed that the addition of 1.5% and 2% Citrus hystrix essential oil decreased the number of bacteria, and led to a higher sensory quality. In conclusion, The addition of Citrus hystrix essential oil in the gelatin-coating process can be used as a method of processing the fishery products to extend the shelf life of red snappers’ fillet at room temperature and inhibit bacterial growth.

Nasogastric liquid feed formulation (NGLF) was developed for immunocompromised patients who are vulnerable targets of pathogenic assault. NGLF consisted of cereals, pulses, vegetables, and milk powder to provide balanced nutrients; however, the shelf life was only a few hours because this product was highly prone to microbial contamination and proliferation due to its high water content and rich nutrients. Postpreparation storage and distribution was very difficult, even at chilled temperatures. To overcome this problem, the NGLF was irradiated at various doses (2.5 to 10 kGy). Gamma irradiation at 10 kGy reduced the microbial load to nondetectable levels, and the product could be stored up to 1 month without any detectable increase in microbial load. The sensory evaluation did not indicate differences between the nonirradiated fresh, irradiated fresh, and stored samples. Nutritional quality in terms of total carbohydrates, dietary fiber, proteins, calories, vitamins A and C, and the micronutrients calcium, iron, and zinc was not affected by irradiation. NGLF also possessed antimutagenic potential against ethylmethanesulphonate-induced mutagenesis in Escherichia coli cells as evaluated by the rifampin resistance assay. This property of NGLF remained unchanged even after exposure to a 10-kGy dose of gamma radiation. Thus, irradiated NGLF seemed to be a safe and wholesome food for immunocompromised patients.

The main reason for spoilage of berry raw materials is the high water content in it. And in order to increase the shelf life of such raw materials and products based on it, various dehydration methods are used. Osmotic dehydration, considered in this article, is one of the best and suitable methods for increasing the shelf life of berry products, as well as increasing the biological value of the product. This method is preferred relative to other methods of dehydration due to the fact that when it is used in raw materials, more vitamins and minerals are preserved, and the color, aroma and taste of berries are also better preserved. Osmotic dehydration is a process due to the presence of semi-permeable membranes, during which the concentration is balanced. Osmosis takes place during the immersion of fruits in concentrated solutions of osmotically active substances. In such a system, two opposite processes occur: water diffuses from the product into the solution, and the dissolved substance diffuses from the solution into the product. This article discusses the features of the process of osmotic dehydration of blackcurrant berries. Blackcurrant is a promising raw material for processing enterprises. The berry contains a large amount of ascorbic acid, anthocyanins and has a high antioxidant activity. Methods were studied for samples of dried blackcurrant berries (by convection), with preliminary osmotic dehydration with various osmotic agents (sucrose, flower honey), using the following methods: ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity were determined titrimetrically using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent polyphenols, spectrophotometrically anthocyanins.

Исследования проводились в лесостепной зоне Красноярского края в 2016 2018 годах с целью оценки высокотехнологичных перспективных селекционных образцов гороха посевного по питательной ценности и продуктивности. Почва опытного участка чернозём обыкновенный, тяжелосуглинистый с низким содержанием нитратного азота в пахотном слое (4 6 мг/кг почвы), средней обеспеченностью подвижным фосфором и высокой обменным калием (по Чирикову). Избыточное увлажнение отмечали в 2016 и 2017 годах (ГТК был равен 1,4 и 1,5 соответственно), в 2018 году условия увлажнения были недостаточными (ГТК 1,0). Материалом для исследования служили четыре короткостебельные линии гороха с усатым типом листа, одна из которых с гладкими семенами (Г171) и три с фуникулярными (Д28, Д39 и Д94). Стандарты среднестебельные сорта Радомир (листочковый, гладкосемянный), Аннушка (листочковый, с неосыпающимися семенами) и Яхонт (с усатым типом листа и фуникулярными семенами). Учитывали питательную ценность образцов по содержанию в зерне сырого и переваримого протеина, кормовых, кормопротеиновых единиц и обменной энергии, оценивали их продуктивность по урожайности, сбору кормопротеиновых единиц, сырого и переваримого протеина. Выявлены перспективные по продуктивности и питательности линии гороха посевного Д94 и Д39, что даёт возможность рассматривать их в качестве селекционных источников этих признаков. Существенно различались показатели кормового достоинства гороха, а также элементы его продуктивности в зависимости от погодных условий годов исследований. Максимальное содержание кормовых и кормопротеиновых единиц, сырого и переваримого протеина, обменной энергии было у номера Д39 (1,17 корм. ед./кг и 1,40 КПЕ/кг, 24,35 и 16,31 , 13,2 МДж/кг соответственно), что соответствовало уровню стандартов. Превосходила стандарты Аннушка и Яхонт по урожайности линия Д94, урожайность которой составила 3,66 т/га, по сбору КПЕ линия Г171 (4,98 тыс./га). Лучшими по сбору сырого и переваримого протеина были линии Д94 и Д39. The experiment took place in the foreststeppe of the Krasnoyarsk Territory in 2016 2018. The aim was to evaluate nutritional value and productivity of promising field pea genotypes for breeding. Soil of the trial field typical chernozem with high clay content, low nitrate nitrogen concentration (4 6 mg/kg of soil), medium amount of soluble phosphorus and high amount of exchange potassium (according to Chirikov). High water content was observed in 2016 and 2017 (hydrothermal coefficients of 1.4 and 1.5, respectively). In 2018 moisture content was insufficient (hydrothermal coefficients of 1.0). Four shortstem leafless pea lines performed as objects of study. One line had round seeds (G171), three others the shatterresistant ones (D28, D39 and D94). Standard mediumstem varieties tendrilless Radomir with round seeds, tendrilless shatterresistant Annushka and leafless shatterresistant Yakhont. Nutritional value was determined by grain exchange energy content, crude and digestible proteins, feed and feedprotein units. Line productivity by grain yield, feedprotein units, crude and digestible proteins. Weather significantly affected pea characteristics. Lines D94 and D39 performed the best and can be used as trait donors in breeding programs. D39 forage quality and productivity were similar to standard varieties. D94 exceeded Annushka and Yakhont in productivity, G171 in feedprotein units.
