Four commercially produced dahi samples were stored under 0°C, 10 °C and 20 °C temperatures subjected to microbiological examination, pH, titrable acidity and sensory attributes at various temperatures for a period of seven days. The results indicated an increase in microbial activity parameters and titrable acidity with increase in temperature and storage period. pH of dahi samples decreased with an increase in temperature and storage period indicating increase in acidity. The studies for microbiological studies shows increase in TPC along with the increase in days of storage. Similar case was found in Yeast and mould as well as in Coliform count. The TPC at refrigerated storage was observed as (1.69±0.58)106 to (5.0±0.68)106 while as at 20°C temperature it was observed as (1.5±0.35)106 to (4.5±0.12)10. Similarly the Yeast and mould count at refrigerated storage was observed as (1.0±0.92)106 while as at 20 °C temperature it was observed as ( 1.5±0.36)106 .The different samples of dahi were analysed for various sensorial attributes for their acceptance by using 9 point hedonic scale. The scores obtained with respect to colour, flavour, taste and aroma show good results and overall acceptability. Overall acceptability was also found to decrease significantly (p <.05) with increase in days of storage under refrigerated conditions. The results of the storage studies indicated the significant (p < .05) decrease in pH with the days of storage under different temperature conditions.

Pineapple is considered as one of the most wanted tropical fruits and it is widely taken for fresh consumption as well as their flesh and juice are used for preparation of different product in Agro-processing industries. For such industrial processes, it is important to know the information of characteristics changes of pineapple during day after storage. Four varieties of pineapple were collected from different areas of Bangladesh named Honey Queen (H.Q), Giant Kew (G.K), Asshini and Ghorasal. Some Physico-chemical properties (weight loss, moisture content, ash and edible portion, pH, TSS, titrable acidity (TA), total sugar, reducing sugar) biochemical properties (ascorbic acid) and sensorial attributes (color, odor, firmness, appearances, sweetness and overall acceptability) of pineapple juice were studied during day after storage. This study examined the Comparison of different varieties of pineapple fruit characteristics and sensory quality of the pineapple fruits during storage. It was shown that there was a significant changes between the storage periods in relation to different varieties of fruits. The firmness of pineapple fruits were in outside and inside to be 0.21 to 0.27 N/m2 and 0.06 to 0.10 N/m2, respectively. The pH values of different varieties were found to be in the range of 4.30 to 4.36. The highest and lowest sweetness index were estimated to be 36.30 and 22.15 for Honey Queen and Asshini respectively. The highest and lowest magnitude of sugar contents of four pineapple varieties were found to be in the range of 14.16 to 15.8 mg/100g.The average TSS values were found to be 15.12%, 12.33%, 13.14% and 12.95% for H.Q., G.K., Asshini and Ghorashal, respectively.

A study was carried out from 1st July to 21st October 2003 at the Institute of Animal Science (IAS), University of the Philippines, Los Baños, College Laguna, Philippines. The study was based on the overall acceptability of substitution of sodium chloride by potassium chloride, frankfurters of broiler chicken and buffalo meat, which were prepared with or without garlic at 1:1 ratio. Frankfurters stored in chiller for over-night after the preparation (as fresh) and stored in freezer (-5 to -7°C) were taken out at 45 and 75 days for sensory evaluation. Ten experienced panelists were involved to evaluate sensory characteristics of frankfurters. Required amount of franks were cut into approximately 2.5 cm size and heated in microwave before serving to the panelists after randomly coding. Each panelist was served with four randomly allocated samples such that in each replication (block), two panelists were assigned. Juiciness, tenderness, color, flavor, off-flavor and overall acceptability were evaluated using the seven point Hedonic scale score card. Type of meat used and the storage period had significant influence in some of the sensory traits, such as juiciness, tenderness and color. Scores for juiciness and tenderness were significantly (P>0.05) higher with chicken franks. However, highly significant (P>0.01) difference was observed for color, favoring buffalo meat franks. Traits such as flavor and overall acceptability had higher scores for chicken than buffalo meat, although scores for offflavor had opposite values; higher with chicken, but was not significantly different. Sensory characteristics for stored products were scored lower than fresh. Color was influenced significantly (P>0.05) by meat type, salt, garlic and also storage period of 75 days. Meat type and storage interaction had significant (P>0.05) differences on juiciness, overall acceptability and tenderness. However, their effects as individual variable were not significant. When garlic was used at 2% level in combination with NaCl+KCl at 1:1 ratio the effectiveness was more pronounced from all respects. However, same percentage of garlic could not produce more acceptable franks with sodium chloride alone. All sensory parameters considered in the study were scored less either for 45 or 75 days storage than the fresh. However, statistically; except for off-flavor, no significant differences were observed between 45 and 75 days.

An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of oat meal as a source of dietary fiber to formulate enriched broiler nugget. For this purpose, nuggets were prepared into four different groups such as treatment 1: 10% wheat flour nugget, treatment 2: 20% wheat flour nugget, treatment 3:10% oat meal nugget and treatment 4: 20% Oat meal nugget. All parameters were analyzed at 0, 15th and 30th days of storage period. The proximate composition of different nuggets batter was analyzed and highly significant differences were found in dry matter (%) and pH. Dry matter was lower, while pH was higher in control nugget (Treatment 1). Significant differences were found in crude protein (%), ether extract (%) among different nuggets, as well as among different storage time. Significantly higher DM (%), Ash (%) and EE (%) was found in broiler meat with 20% oat meal, while higher crude protein (%) were found in broiler meat+10% wheat flour. Crude protein (%) and DM (%) increased, while Ash (%) and EE (%) decreased with increase of storage time.  The storage period had significant effect on different biochemical (FFA, POV and TBARS value) and microbial (TVC, TCC and TYMC) tests. In all cases, the values were increased with increase of storage time. The surface color (CIE L*, a*, b*) of nuggets of different treatments at different storage period were measured.  No significant differences in b* value were found among broiler meat nuggets and storage time. On the other hand, different types of nuggets and storage period had a significant effect on L* and a* value. Significantly higher a* value was found in broiler meat with 10% wheat flour (T1). In sensory analysis, no significant differences were found in flavor, off-flavor, juiciness, tenderness and overall acceptability among four types of sausages. It could be concluded that addition of oat meal as a source of dietary fiber did not differ the overall acceptability of broiler meat nuggets compare to broiler meat nuggets with wheat flour. Bang.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of curing ingredients (salt, sugar, nitrate and nitrite) and nisin as preservative on the storage stability of a traditional smoked pork product of Mizoram known as Vawksa rep, under different packaging conditions. Design/methodology/approach – Meat cuts (preferably ham) were cut into small pieces of uniform size and allotted to four different treatment groups, namely, T1 (Traditional Vawksa rep + Aerobic packaging); T2 (Traditional Vawksa rep + Vacuum packaging); T3 (Modified Vawksa rep + Aerobic packaging) and T4 (Modified Vawksa rep + Vacuum packaging). Vawksa rep is traditionally produced by light smoking of pork chunks. Modification was carried out by applying curing prior to smoking and applying nisin to the pork chunks after smoking and before packaging. The products were compared on the basis of physicochemical, microbiological, proximate composition and sensory qualities at five days interval under refrigerated (4 ± 1°C) conditions. Findings – Among the treatments, pH was recorded significantly lower for T4 as compared to other treatments with the advancement of the storage periods. The mean tyrosine value and thio-barbituric acid number of all the treatment show increasing trend with the advancement of the storage period. T4 had better microbiological quality than other treatments, with lower aerobic plate count, Coliform count and Yeast and Mould count. Aerobic plate count was found to differ significantly (p < 0.05) throughout the period of storage. Coliform and Yeast and Mould counts were not detected in T3 and T4 on entire storage period. The sensory evaluation revealed highest scores for appearance, flavour, texture, juiciness and overall acceptability for T4 than other treatments. Originality/value – The manuscript has stated that combination of curing ingredients and nisin improved all the attributes (physicochemical, microbiological and sensory) and also ensured a longer shelf-life of the product.

This study reports on processing of mixed fruit marmalades from malta, mango and pineapple juices at different ratios. Sensory attributes and storage studies of the mixed fruit marmalades were also evaluated. The fresh and fully mature fruits were used for this experiment. Chemical characteristics such as moisture, ash, acidity, pH, vitamin C, sugar and total soluble solids (TSS) of fruit juices and mixed fruit marmalades were determined. Variations in chemical constituents were observed among the juice and marmalade samples. S1 sample was found best of all samples with respect to chemical composition. The analysis of chemical composition of S1 sample (malta juice: mango juice: pine-apple juice=2:1:1) was found as: moisture 27.71%, ash 0.16%, TSS 67.5%, total sugar 66.2%, acidity 0.90% and pH 2.8. On the basis of sensory evaluation the S1 sample was the most acceptable among others in terms of color, flavor, texture and overall acceptability. Storage study was conducted on the mixed fruit marmalades for six months at room temperature (23-30°C) and relative humidity 80 to 85%. It was observed that TSS, pH and acidity of mixed fruit marmalades did not show any remarkable changes. Color and flavor were acceptable throughout six months of storage period. After six month of storage period small amount of mould and bacterial attack was observed in marmalade samples. The microbial count was low due to high acidity and proper storage of the samples. The microbial contamination was very low in sample S1 than other samples due to its highest acidity.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v5i2.14836 J. Environ.

Aims: Asparagus racemosus is locally known as shatavari in India and possess a strong antioxidant and galactogogue activities. This study was aimed to reduce the bitterness of Asparagus racemosus root powder (ARRP) and to analyse the effect of storage on acceptability and oxidative rancidity of ARRP fortified biscuits. Study Design: Biscuits were developed substituting whole wheat flour with 5, 7.5 and 10 per cent of ARRP. Methodology: ARR were blanched to eliminate the bitterness in developed powder. Developed biscuits were analyzed for sensory characteristics using 9-point hedonic scale by 25 semi-trained panelists. Biscuits were packed in plastic zipper bags and stored in an airtight plastic container at room temperature for 90 days. Effect of storage period on sensory acceptability, fat acidity and peroxide value of biscuits was observed. Results: Blanching of A. racemosus roots at 80ºC temperature for 3 minutes reduced the bitterness of developed powder considerably. Results showed that biscuits were found to be ‘liked moderately’ on 9-point hedonic scale. During storage period of 90 days, the scores of sensory characteristics were decreased gradually for colour, appearance, aroma, taste, texture and overall acceptability, however biscuits were found acceptable by panellist. The increase in oxidative rancidity with the advancement of storage period was observed in terms of fat acidity (mg of KOH/g) and peroxide value (meq of O2/kg) in control as well as ARRP biscuits however, this increase was witnessed less in A. racemosus fortified biscuits than control. Conclusion: ARRP upto 10 per cent can be successfully used in the development of products with increased shelf life along with galactogogue activity.
