The aim of the present research work was to study the effect of different levels of sucrose and honey content on strawberry leather stored at room temperature for a total period of 90 days. The sucrose and honey was added at the level of 300:0, 250:50, 200:100, 150:150, 100:200, 50:250 and 0:300, representing each treatment. The prepared strawberry leather were analysed physiochemically for pH, acidity, ascorbic acid, reducing and non-reducing sugar content, sugar acid ration and organoleptically for colour, taste, texture and overall acceptability for a total period of 90 days. Statistical results revealed that treatment and storage interval had a significant (P< 0.05) effect on both physiochemical and organoleptic evaluation. Results also revealed that the decrease occurred in moisture content from (18.17-13.53%), pH (3.58 to 3.43), ascorbic acid (34.41 to 25.53), non-reducing sugar (5.09 to 4.85), sugar-acid ratio (71.03-65.37%), and sensory evaluation included colour (8.17 to 5.10), texture (8.31 to 5.69), taste (8.37 to 6.04) and overall acceptability (8.37 to 5.61), while increase was found in total acidity (1.137-1.267%), total soluble solid (80.96 to 83.04 °Brix) and reducing sugar (19.09-19.45%) during storage. The maximum mean values were observed for moisture in SL5 (16.37), ascorbic acid SL4 (31.59), pH SL4 (3.57), titratable acidity SL4 (1.230), total soluble solid SL4 (82.80), total solid SL4 (82.80), reducing sugar SL4 (26.47), non-reducing sugar SL1 (6.20), colour SL4 (7.13), texture SL4 (7.54), taste SL4 (7.79), overall acceptability SL4 (7.5) and sugar-acid ratio SL6 (70.76). Among all the treatments, T4 was found to be the best both physiochemically and organoleptically.

Pear pulp and grapes juice were used in different ratios (100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, 50:50) for the preparation of leather. The treatments were prepared with different concentration of pulp and constant level of sucrose and preservatives. The experiment was laid out in a complete randomized design (CRD). The effects of storage and treatments were studied for three months of storage with an interval of 15 days. Various parameters such as moisture, percent acidity, total soluble solids, water activity, ascorbic acid content, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and sensory attributes i.e. colour, taste, texture and overall acceptability were studied. Significant differences were observed in all the studied parameters. A decrease was recorded in moisture (16.02 to 13.76%), ascorbic acid content (13.21 to 6.64 mg/100g), non-reducing sugar (67.02 to 64.76%) and water activity (0.50 to 0.45), while an increase was recorded in titratable acidity (0.88 to 1.01%), TSS (76.68 to 79.05 °brix) and reducing sugar (11.43 to 11.85%). Base on organoleptic evaluation T3 was found most acceptable during storage. The combination of 70% pear pulp and 30% grapes juice for leather preparation proved to be the best combination in terms of extending the shelf life and improving the quality of pear and grapes blended leather during storage.

Tasmanian Up-to-date, Kennebec, Sebago, and Sequoia tubers were treated with low doses of gamma radiation to inhibit sprouting and were subsequently stored at 68�F or 45�F. Tubers were examined at bi-monthly intervals for some, or all, of the following biochemical constituents : dry matter, thiamin, reduced ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, total ascorbic acid, soluble reducing sugars, sucrose, total sugars, and starch. Radiation, independent of dose level, led to lower dry matter contents in the Up-to-date, Kennebec, and Sequoia tubers after four months storage, and in the Sebago tubers after six months storage at 68�F, but not at 45�F, when compared to the controls. The thiamin content of Up-to-date tubers w-as not influenced by radiation (16,000 rads). Storage w-as a more important factor than radiation in altering the ascorbic acid content of tubers. Radiation maintained, or even increased the normal level. Radiation increased the soluble reducing sugar content of Sequoia tubers, the total sugar of Sequoia and Sebago tubers, and the sucrose content of the Sebago tubers, but had little effect on the starch content of these varieties. Storage influenced some of these constituents, particularly in the Sebago variety.

To determine the soil mechanism in root-zone caused by water saving and the production response to alternate drip irrigation (ADI), the present study investigated the effects of deficit ADI on tomato growth using the conventional surface drip irrigation (CDI) as a control. The interactions among the experimental treatments on root index, photosynthetic efficiency, biomass accumulation, yield, fruit quality and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) were assessed and the inner mechanism of root-soil effecting on tomato growth, photosynthate distribution, yield and quality was discussed. ADI significantly enhanced root-soil interaction, promoted soil nitrogen and phosphorus absorption by tomato and tomato growth. However, different soil moisture deficits significantly affected tomato photosynthate accumulation and distribution, as well as fruit quality. With irrigation amount of 50% field capacity (F), ADI significantly increased soluble sugar, total soluble solid and lycopene by 38.08%, 19.48% and 30.05%, respectively, compared to those of CDI, but decreased irrigation amounts by 29.86% in comparison with the CDI one. ADI of 70% F could significantly distribute more photosynthate to fruits, thus enhanced tomato yields by 24.6% and improved IWUE by 17.05% compared to that of CDI. In addition, ADI of 70% F improved tomato fruits quality, and in particular organic acid was decreased by 43.75% and sugar-acid ratio was increased by 97% compared to CDI. However, ADI of 60% F distributed more photosynthate to plant, showing no significant difference of yields in comparison with CDI and ADI of 70% F, but a higher IWUE by 19.54% than that of CDI. ADI of 60% F significantly enhanced soluble sugar, total soluble solid, soluble protein, lycopene and sugar-acid ratio in tomato fruits by 2.06, 1.26, 1.61, 1.4 and 3.2 times respectively compared to CDI. Therefore, ADI of 60% or 70% F can be overall recommended for tomato production in a greenhouse, plant growth, fruit yield and quality, and IWUE.

Imitation cherry of Karonda was prepared from three cultivars viz., Pant Manohar, Pant Sudarshan and Pant Suvarna picked at 40, 60 and 80 days after fruit set. The storability of imitation cherry was evaluated at ambient room temperature for a period of nine months. The imitation cherry prepared at 80 days after fruit set showed maximum TSS (77.83 %), reducing sugar (42.21 %), non-reducing sugar (28.21 %), total sugar, ascorbic acid (6.69 mg/100g), phosphorus (3.55 mg/100g), calcium (1.23 mg/100g), iron (3.72 mg/100g), non-enzymatic browning, colour, appearance, aroma, taste and overall acceptability. Gradual reduction in TSS, reducing sugar, total sugar, titratable acidity, colour, appearance, aroma, taste, texture and overall acceptability were observed during the nine months storage period. However, non-reducing sugar, ascorbic acid and non-enzymatic browning were increased with the increase in storage period. Overall acceptability of the product ranged from 8.15 to 8.43 on 9 point hedonic scale at various intervals up to 9 months of storage. There was no yeast and mould growth being observed during the entire storage period. Imitation cherry prepared from Pant Suvarna at 80 days interval after fruit set proved significantly best in quality because of its higher nutritional and sensory characters.

Sweet corn has short shelf life at room temperature storage in the tropical countries (28-33°C). The quality deterioration of sweet corn can be determined by the decrease of its sugar content. The study aimed to estimate the shelf life of sweet corn based on the reduction of its total soluble solid (TSS) by using Arrhenius model. The samples were prepared from fresh harvested corn stored for 10 days at 3 different temperatures of 5, 15 and 28 °C. Total soluble solid (TSS) were analyzed every day by using abbe refractrometer. Organoleptic analysis was used by using hedonic scales from 1 to 7. The analysis was conducted until respondents had graded the samples at score 5 (dislike slightly), 6 (dislike) and approaches can be used to calculate the shelf life of sweet corn. The acceleration factor for the TSS degradation at null approach, it was estimated that if the sweet corn were stored at temperature of 30, 25, 20, 15, 10 and 5°C, the shelf temperatures, the shelf life of sweet corn would be 3.7, 4.5, 5.6, 6.8, 8.4, and 10.3 days. In conclusion, the shelf life predictions of sweet corn were valid well with the experimental results.

The use of commercial sources of invertase for the production of High fructose syrup and other pharmaceutical formulations has been a problem due to its high ash content and cost implication, therefore there is a need to explore bacterial species that can produce invertase. In this study, actinomycetes strains were isolated from soils from a botanical garden, sugar cane sites and garden egg at Elogbolo and Oyigbo respectively. Yeast extract agar; Czapeks Dox agar and Arginine glycerol agar were used for the isolation of actinomycetes. The study showed that Czapeks Dox agar gave the highest population count followed by Yeast extract and Arginine glycerol agar. The dominated genus of actinomycetes observed were species of Streptomyces designated as OZMU 1; OZMU 2; OZMU 3 and OZMU 4. The results showed that the reducing sugar content of the Streptomyces sp. had similar reducing sugar liberation and consumption behavior without any lag phase, with OZMU 1 concentration peak at 12 h (0.12 g/l), and OZMU 3 (0.15 g/l).  But OZMU 2 indicated a lag phase from 6-12h, increased from 12-24 h (0.18 g/l), but activity declined dramatically at 36 h and 48 h. The reducing sugar content for Streptomyces sp. OZMU 4 revealed longer lag phase, which was almost constant throughout the investigation period from 6-36 h. But at 48 h (0.06 g/l)  a decline in the reducing sugar content was noticed compared to the other isolates, indicating that all the available reducing sugar were completely consumed by the other strains. The research work revealed the ability of indigenous actinomycetes strains to produce invertase enzyme which has high conversion efficiency and can be used in various pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries.

Syrup is one of well known beverage in Indonesia. Syrup can be made from “pondoh super” snake fruit to increase the shelf life of this fruit. Stabilizer and thickener are needed in making syrup to keep the stability of syrup in order to prevent precipitation during storage. Therefore, it is necessary to add stabilizer and thickener in syrup such as Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC). This study aimed to determine the effects of CMC types which added in various concentrations on chemical, physical, and organoleptic properties of snake fruit syrup.                        In this study, the fresh snake fruit fleshes were blanched, soaked in 5% salt solution, crushed, and filtrated to get snake fruit extract. The extract was added with CMC then homogenated for 2 minutes. 65% of sugar were added to the extract then heated in 100oC for 25 minutes followed by adding 0.01% of citric acid. The chemical properties (moisture content, total sugar, reducing sugar, and pH), physical properties (viscosity, color, and total soluble solid), and organoleptic properties (color, aroma, viscosity, flavor, and overall) of snake fruit syrup were analyzed. Randomize Complete Block Design was used in this study with 2 independent variables. First is CMC types (commercial and snake fruit) and second is CMC concentrations (0.1%; 0.3%; and 0.5%). This study was statistically analyzed by SPSS 20 using one way and two ways ANOVA then continued by using Duncan Multiple Range Test and T-test with 5% significance level. The result showed that adding snake fruit kernel CMC increased the moisture content, total sugar, reducing sugar, total phenolic compound, the reddish of color (a*) and decreased the total soluble solid, lightness and viscosity of snake fruit syrup. The adding of snake fruit kernel CMC can make the snake fruit syrup more stable. The increasing concentration of snake fruit kernel CMC increase viscosity, total soluble solid, decrease moisture content and reducing sugar and did not influence pH, antioxidant activity and yellowish color (b*) of snake fruit syrup. Overall, snake fruit syrup added by snake fruit kernel CMC had the lower hedonic score than snake fruit syrup was added by commercial CMC. Snake fruit syrup with 0.3% commercial CMC had the highest hedonic score. Keywords: Pondoh Snake Fruit; Syrup; Snake Fruit Kernel; CMC
