Aims:  To evaluate the potentiality of bio-extract coatings for achieving extended shelf life with enhance fruit quality attributes in pomegranate under ambient storage condition.  Study Design:  The lab experiment conducted in complete randomized design with three repetitions on Mridula cultivar of pomegranate.     Place and Duration of Study:  The experiment was conducted during September 2016 at department of fruit science, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana, India. Methodology: Pomegranate freshly harvested fruits were coated with three bio-extracts coatings viz. Aloe vera (50,75 and 100%), ginger (1,2 and 3%) and mints (10,20 and 30%). The coated fruits were stored at ambient room condition in corrugated fiber board boxes for twelve days.  Periodically effects of bio-extract coatings, storage period and their interaction were observed for physiological loss in weight, decay loss, juice content, TSS: acid ratio, ascorbic acid content and anthocyanin content.    Results: Surface coating with Aloe vera extract 100% was found most effective in reducing physiological loss in weight (50% less reduction as compared to untreated control) whereas ginger extract 3% in reducing the decay loss of fruits (9.65%) as compared to untreated control (23.36%). Among various treatments, the coating of pomegranate fruits with Aloe vera extract 100% resulted in lowest total soluble solids to acid ratio (32.17%) and significantly highest content of juice (47.17%), anthocyanin (13.98 mg/100 g) and ascorbic acid (12.82 mg/100 g) of the fruits along with highest organoleptic rating. The quality attributes viz. total soluble solids to acid ratio, anthocyanin of fruits increased with progression of storage period, while juice content and ascorbic acid decreased. Conclusion: Bio-extract coating of Aloe vera (100%) substantially improved the shelf life with retaining better fruit quality attributes under ambient conditions and has the potential to substitute the prevalent chemical coatings for pomegranate.

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.

Significant Difference

Seven potato genotypes that are available in Bangladesh, were grown at the field laboratory under the Crop Botany Department, Bangladesh Agricultural University in 2014. Reducing sugars and free asparagine were determined at freshly harvested potato tubers and those after storing at 80C for 8 months. There was no significant variation of asparagine content in all genotypes of freshly harvested tubers. But a significant difference was found in reducing sugar content. The lowest was in the samples of the genotypes Cardinal and Rumanapakri, and the highest in Hagrai. The variety Diamant appeared to contain the lowest amount of reducing sugars after 8 months storage. The results showed that freshly harvested Cardinal, Rumanapakri and Diamant after storage produced less amount of acrylamide after frying as potato chips or French fries. It may be concluded that screening potato genotypes primarily on their reducing sugar contents could be useful tool to minimize acrylamide formation in potato chips and French fries. Further investigation is needed to find out the factors affecting reducing sugar and asparagine content in potato tubers.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.3(2): 295-304, August 2016

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the changes in the chemical properties of banana fruits and their shelf life as influenced by different postharvest treatments. There were two varieties viz. Amritasagar (VI) and Sabri (V2) and seven storage treatments viz.: control (open space, 30±2ºC) (T0); perforated polyethylene, 30±2ºC (T1); non-perforated polyethylene, 30±2ºC (T2); benzyl adenine (BA 30 ppm, 30±2ºC) (T3); gibberellic acid (GA3 150 ppm, 30±2ºC) (T4); benzyl adenine (BA 30 ppm, 15°C ) (T5) and gibberellic acid (GA3 150 ppm, 15°C) (T6). A factorial experiment was laid out in the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Data were recorded on titratable acid content, total sugar content, reducing sugar content, non-reducing sugar content, total soluble solids and pulp pH. Among the chemical parameters, total soluble solids (TSS) and pH of pulp increased while titratable acidity decreased during storage in all the treated and untreated banana fruits. Among the treatments gibberellic acid (GA3 150 ppm, 15°C) treatment exhibited the best storage performance. The treatment combinations of Sabri with gibberellic acid (GA3 150 ppm, 15°C) showed the longest shelf life (16.25 days), whereas the lowest shelf life was in Amritasagar with control (open space, 30±2ºC) treatment combination (6.78 days).The Agriculturists 2014; 12(2) 06-17

AbstractThree groups of Romanian acacia honey, i.e., pure, directly adulterated (by mixing the pure honey with three sugar syrups), and indirectly adulterated (by feeding the bees with the same syrups), were characterized and discriminated based on their physicochemical parameters. Moisture, ash, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), reducing sugars (fructose and glucose), and sucrose contents, free acidity, diastase activity, ratio between stable carbon isotopes of honey and its proteins (δ13CH and δ13CP) were evaluated. Adulteration led to a significant increase in sucrose content, HMF level, and Δδ13C = δ13CH‒δ13CP as well a decrease in reducing sugar content and diastase activity. Principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were applied to experimental data in order to distinguish between pure and adulterated honey. The most relevant discriminative parameters were diastase activity, HMF, sucrose, and reducing sugar contents. Posterior classification probabilities and classification functions obtained by LDA revealed that 100% of honey samples were correctly assigned to their original group.

Four Levels

The effect of the processing temperature, of the addition of sugar to 45° and 59° Brix and of the addition of four levels of ascorbic acid, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 g. per pound, on the quality, shelf-life, and ascorbic acid retention of frozen soursop pulp was investigated. When unsweetened soursop pulps were processed at temperatures ranging from 74° to 200° F., no appreciable change in organoleptic properties were observed during a period of storage at —10° F. for over 400 days, in the pulps heated below 200° F. The pulp heated to 200° F. was found inferior to the others. No change in chemical composition or color was observed. The data for the ascorbic acid retention during storage do not show any definite trend which could be related to a temperature effect. Ascorbic acid retention varied from 70.8 to 94.3 percent. Pulps with cane sugar added to 45° to 59° Brix, respectively, and heated to temperatures ranging from 72° to 225° F. behaved like the unsweetened pulps when stored at —10° F. for about 400 days. No change in total acidity, pH, total and reducing-sugar content, or color was observed during the storage period. In the samples sweetened to 45° Brix, ascorbic retention values ranged from 98.18 to 133.9 percent. The retention of ascorbic acid in the 59° Brix pulps ranged from 75.0 to 91.7 percent, with the lower retention found in the sample processed at 225° F. Neither heating to different temperatures nor the addition of two levels of sugar were found to affect the shelf-life. Pulps processed at 175° F. and enriched by the addition of 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 g. of ascorbic acid per pound retained their flavor very well during the storage period showing less change in the organoleptic rating than the unriched sweetened and unsweetened pulps. The level of ascorbic acid had no effect on shelf-life or sample quality. Ascorbic acid retention ranged from 94.1 to 104.6 percent. No change in other chemical constituents or color were observed during the period of observation. Heating of the pulps reduced the plate counts of microorganisms. When the pulps were heated to about 175° F., almost sterile packs were obtained. Peroxidases were inactivated at 150° F. in the unsweetened pulps and at 185° F. in the sweetened. The results of this work indicate that two types of products can be prepared from soursop pulp: 1, A frozen pulp without sugar added, to be used for the manufacture of nectars, drinks, ice creams, and other similar products; and 2, a nectar base for direct consumer use prepared by the addition of sugar to 45° or 59° Brix which can be reconstituted for serving by the addition of 3 volumes of water. The addition of ascorbic acid to the nectar base would improve the shelf-life and the resulting product would have a vitamin C content higher than that contained in orange juice.

SummaryIn a social context of increasingly concern about healthy diets, the development of new varieties with enhanced content in nutraceutical compounds is an increasingly important objective of the fruit breeding programs currently developed. In this sense, apricot is a fruit crop very appreciated by consumers due to its organoleptic characteristics, but also plays an important role in human nutrition due to its contain of phytocompounds as sugars, organic acids, vitamins and polyphenols. In this work, new selections from the apricot breeding program carried out at the Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias (IVIA) and traditional varieties have been analysed aimed at identifying sources of genetic variation for fruit quality. For this purpose, sugar content, organic acids and ascorbic acid were studied during two crop years. Results revealed sucrose and glucose as the major sugars, malic and citric acid as the main organic acids, and diverse ascorbic acid content among the cultivars studied. Results obtained pointed some accessions as potential sources to increase fruit quality. In addition, the study showed that apricot peel is an excellent source of nutraceutical compounds. Moreover, this study opens up new possibilities for future work to study the genetic control of these traits in apricot.
