The yacon tuber has gained interest due to its health-promoting components, such as high amounts of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant properties. However, the high water content and the soft, delicate internal tissues render it highly perishable, leading to significant losses during postharvest handling. The packaging and storage temperatures, two important factors in maintaining quality when storing fresh yacon tubers, were studied. The results showed that modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) combined with low temperature (10°C) had positive effects on the visual quality of yacon. Weight loss and shriveling were reduced in MAP compared to the unpacked yacon under room and 10°C storage temperatures. The use of MAP under room temperature for an extended storage period was limited by the development of disease and the occurrence of root sprouts and surface cracks in yacon, which reduced its visual quality. FOS hydrolysis by fructan exohydrolase occurred during storage, leading to higher amounts of fructose, glucose, and sucrose. The use of MAP regardless of storage temperature delayed the onset of rapid FOS decline. The total phenolic contents in the range of 4.84-5.98 mg Gallic acid equivalent per gram dry sample and antioxidant activity of yacon did not decrease relative to its initial content. Yacon could be stored at 10°C in conjunction with MAP to maintain quality and extend the shelf life of fresh yacon tubers.

ABSTRACT The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of long-term storage at various temperatures (4, 25, and 35°C) on flavor and microbiological and physicochemical qualities of traditional Chinese low-salt fermented fish (Suanyu). Food spoilage and pathogenic bacteria (coliforms, Pseudomonas, and Salmonella) were inhibited during the 90 days of storage at all temperatures. Lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and total viable bacteria counts of samples stored at 35°C were reduced sharply, whereas other parameters were stable. Compared with refrigerated storage (4°C), higher storage temperatures (25 and 35°C) accelerated moisture migration, lipid oxidation, and proteolytic degradation. Storage time had a greater effect than storage temperature on the increase of volatile compounds in Suanyu. Refrigerated storage was better than higher storage temperatures (25 and 35°C) for maintaining the odor quality of Suanyu during the storage period. Total biogenic amine concentrations in all samples were ≪200 mg/kg. Suanyu can be consumed safely during 90 days of storage based on the levels of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria and concentrations of biogenic amines, but refrigerated storage effectively slows down the microbial and physicochemical changes, resulting in better organoleptic quality. The results of this study will be useful for processors controlling the safety and quality of fermented fish during transport and storage. HIGHLIGHTS

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) consists of high moisture content and is favoured for its juice products. The popular fruit has a tempting taste, sweet aroma and attractive flesh colour. It is enriched with phytochemicals and antioxidant properties that are beneficial to human health. Due to convenience, the majority of individuals are likely to consume watermelon juice. However, little is known about the fruit juice storage and temperatures that may affect its beneficial properties. This study investigated the effect of storage temperature at room temperature, refrigerator cold, refrigerator freeze and freeze-dried, and analyzed the juice physico-chemicals (weight loss, pH, ash, moisture, total soluble solid, browning and turbidity), phytochemicals (total phenolic, total flavonoid, lycopene and β-carotene) and antioxidant scavenging activities during 9 days of storage. The results showed that watermelon juice was affected by storage temperatures and conditions with significant changes in physico-chemical appearance and decrease in total phytochemical content, thus consequently affecting their antioxidant activities during 9 days of storage. Although fresh watermelon juice can be consumed for its high nutritional values, freeze-drying is the preferable technique to retain its benefits and to delay juice degradation.

The effects of gamma radiation doses of 110,000, 220,000, and 330,000 rad on the storage life and quality of two varieties of strawberries stored at 40°, 55°, and 70° F were studied. Results indicated that a dose of 330,000 rad prevented fungal development of the Redcoat variety stored for 26 days at 40° F. The fungal-free period was sharply reduced at lower radiation doses or at higher storage temperatures. Under the conditions of this trial there was no apparent effect of radiation on appearance or texture of fruit.In organoleptic tests in the first two weeks of storage observers were not able to differentiate between radiation treatments. There was some preference for treated berries as the storage period increased. After 20 days the flavor of the fruit deteriorated very rapidly and it soon became commercially unacceptable.

Aqueous extracts were obtained at low temperature with the Naviglio technology from grapevine stalks (Merlot), marc (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) and leaves (Merlot) as typical byproducts of winemaking industry, and their properties were evaluated cytofluorometrically on human dermal fibroblasts. Leaf extracts had the greatest total phenolic ((47.6±3.5) mg/g) and proanthocyanidin ((24.2±0.1) mg/g) contents compared to the others. The preliminary colorimetric MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay individuated two consecutive non-toxic volume fractions of each extract (from 0.8 to 12.8 %) that were adopted for three cytofluorometric tests. The first cell membrane test did not evidence any harmful effects against plasma membranes at the two non-toxic volume fractions. The second mitochondrial membrane test showed a decreased (p&lt;0.01) percentage of cells ((15.7±8.3) vs (32.5±1.3) %) with active polarized mitochondrial membranes at the higher non-cytotoxic volume fractions of extracts from Cabernet Sauvignon marc in response to 4.5 mM H2O2, and from Merlot stalks (p&lt;0.05) at 1.5 mM H2O2 ((49.3±6.1) vs (64.6±2.4) %) and without H2O2 ((89.7±2.4) vs (96.9±1.8) %), compared to the controls submitted to the same H2O2 concentration. Conversely, mitochondrial activity of leaf extracts significantly (p&lt;0.05) increased ((96.3±1.8) and (96.4±1.4) %) after treatment with 0.5 mM H2O2 at both non-cytotoxic volume fractions compared to control ((88.2±1.1) %). Finally, as evidenced by the third oxidative status test, stalk extracts did not evidence relevant effects on the cellular oxidative state, while the extracts of marc and leaves demonstrated significantly medium (p&lt;0.05) to highly (p&lt;0.001) positive effects following exposure to H2O2 ranging from 0.5 to 4.5 mM, compared to controls.

The provision of plentiful good-quality food is a primary issue in the modern world. This work was planned to study the influence of packaging atmosphere and oregano (Origanum vulgare) essential oil addition [(vacuum packaging: T1 or modified atmosphere packaging or T2 (CO2/N2 = 4:6) or T3, T2 with oregano essential oil (T2 + EO)] under various storage temperatures (0, 5, 10, and 15 °C) on the control of survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and associated spoilage flora in sliced smoked turkey meat. The pathogen increased by only <1.0 log colony-forming unit (CFU)/g under all packaging and temperature combinations. Moreover, T1, T2, and T3 exerted practically similar inhibitory activity against the pathogen and dominating bacteria, with a relatively low growth of E. coli O157:H7 in sliced smoked turkey during the shelf life under all storage regimes compared to the control. However, the pathogen survival was highest on the sliced smoked turkey under T1, decreasing by only 0.67, 0.74, 0.63, and 1.30 log CFU/g within 37 days if kept at 0, 5, 10, and 15 °C, respectively. Under T2 and the same condition, E. coli O157:H7 in the product declined by only 0.31, 0.50, 0.72, and 1.10 log CFU/g within 37 days of storage, respectively. In the T3 samples, the pathogen was reduced by only 0.33, 0.67, 1.72, and 3.46 log CFU/g through 37 days of storage, respectively. Under T3 were E. coli O157:H7 populations in smoked turkey eliminated (negative by enrichment) under all conditions (after 129, 95, 95, and 43 days maintained at 0, 5, 10, and 15 °C, respectively) compared with other packaging temperature combinations. Thus, T3 contributed to developing ready-to-eat smoked turkey with enhanced product quality and eliminating the pathogen.

The effect of basil leaf (BLE) and wheat bran (WBE) extracts (potent anti-browning agents), on the phenolic content, antioxidant potential, microbiological quality, and consumer quality of shredded lettuce during storage were studied. Treatment of lettuce with increasing concentrations of BLE proportionally increased the total phenolic content and antioxidant properties. Compared to the control, the treatment enhanced the antiradical properties. This was especially visible during the analysis of the chemical extracts, while this effect was not retained in the potentially bioaccessible fraction. In the lettuce stored for 8 days, the highest reducing potential and ability to quench radicals were observed in samples treated with 1% BLE—33 mg Trolox equivalent/g d.m. and 2.8 mg Trolox equivalent/g d.m., respectively. Compounds exhibiting antiradical properties were easily bioaccessible in vitro. There was no negative effect of the treatments on the consumer quality. Most importantly, after 8 days of storage, lettuce treated with the studied extract, except 10% WBE, had higher microbiological quality. After 8-day storage, the coliforms count was reduced by 84% and 88% in samples treated with 0.5% BLE and 10% WBE, respectively. In conclusion, treatments of shredded lettuce with BLE and WBE maintain or even improve its quality during storage.

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of storage temperature on the viability and vigour of A. peregrina seeds. Seeds of A. peregrina harvested in Viçosa-MG, in September 2005 were used. The seeds were stored in the Laboratory of Forest Seeds Analysis (LASF) of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV), in a cold chamber, under approximately 5ºC over150 days. The seeds were stored under 20ºC for 150 days more. Seed moisture was determined after oven-drying at 105 ± 3ºC for 24 hours. The seeds were analyzed monthly using germination, tetrazolium and electrical conductivity tests and Osmopriming during 300 days, with four repetitions of 25 seeds. A. peregrina seeds kept a constant percentage of germination and viable seeds under the tetrazolium test for five months of storage, under either 5ºC and 20ºC. The electrical conductivity test showed significant differences in relation to the storage period, proving to be more sensitive than the standard germination test. Seed priming in PEG -0,4 MPa solution was not efficient in recovering the viability and vigor of the stored seeds at 5ºC and 20ºC.

Beef livers from freshly slaughtered cattle were inoculated with coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus and then placed in frozen storage. After 14 d of frozen storage, one-half of the livers were subjected to 21°C for 24 h followed by a 15-d period of storage at −1°C. The other livers were kept in frozen storage (−29°C) during this 15-d period after which all livers were subjected to either 10 or 21°C temperatures. S. aureus counts did not change during the 15-d storage period at −1°C, whereas aerobic plate counts (APC) increased by over 3 log10 cycles. The low storage temperature plus the growth of competitor bacteria most likely prevented S. aureus from proliferating. When all livers were subjected to 24 to 144 h of storage at either 10 or 21°C, those that had been subjected to 15 d of slow surface thawing displayed a lower S. aureus count and higher APC than livers subjected to rapid thawing followed by holding at the high temperatures. This may mean that if livers become contaminated with substantial numbers of S. aureus before freezing, then rapid thawing coupled with high storage temperatures (more typical of meat merchandising in less developed countries) could allow for rapid S. aureus growth before competitor organisms increase in numbers.
