Development and Effectiveness of Lipid–Polysaccharide Conglomerated Composite Edible Coating to Enhance Postharvest Life of Whole Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) var. Ravi
Abstract: Lipids can be combined with polysaccharides to create conglomerated composite edible coatings in which the components are interspersed throughout the coating. An experimental lipid–polysaccharide conglomerated composite (LPCC) edible coating was developed from lipids (vegetable oils and resins) and polysaccharides (gum Arabic, CMC). Whole muskmelons (var. Ravi) were coated with LPCC edible coating by spraying method and stored at 12±2 ºC with 90–95% relative humidity. The effectiveness of LPCC edible coating …

Effect of Mill Type and Mechanical Kneading Conditions on Fermentation Kinetics of Tef Dough During Injera making and Phytate to Mineral Molar Ratio of Injera
Abstract: Injera is Ethiopian traditional fermented flatbread which is made mostly from tef flour. Tef grain is milled and the flour kneaded to have batter-like dough which will ferment before injera baking. The influence of mill type: hammer mill (HM), disc mill (DM) and blade mill (BM) and mechanical kneading speed-time combinations (K1, K5, and K9) on fermentation kinetics was investigated. Phytate to mineral molar ratio (Fe, Zn and Ca) of …
