Effect of Edible Coatings on the Storage Quality of Avocado (Persea americana)
Abstract: Avocado is a highly perishable fruit. Studies were conducted to find effect of edible coatings and storage conditions on various storage changes which directly or indirectly influence quality and marketability of the fruit. Two types of edible coatings namely bee wax and aloe vera gel were used and fruit was stored in two types of storage conditions namely ambient temperature and zero energy cool chamber (ZECC). The experiment was arranged …

Food Texture Descriptors: A Compilation of the most Important Terms used in Sensory Analyses
Abstract: The texture is essential in the quality and acceptance of food, being classified into three distinct groups: mechanical, geometrical, and compositional. The so-called “lexicons” are standardized vocabularies with the definitions and references for each attribute which aid the application of descriptive sensory analysis. The objective of this study was to raise typical texture descriptors from different types of food, relating them to the methodologies and technological processes used, besides the …

Antioxidant Activity in Se-Enriched Edible Mushrooms
Abstract: Mushrooms enriched with essential minerals, such as selenium (Se), are food that compensate for dietary nutrient deficiencies. Extracts from Se-enriched Pleurotusostreatus and Lentinula edodes mushrooms contain active antioxidant compounds, which enhance the immune system. To evaluate whether Se-enrichment changes antioxidant and lipid peroxidation potential, the concentration of total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, lipid peroxidation and the total concentration of minerals (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, V, Cr, Co, Ni, As, Cd …

The Use of Electrolytic Hydrogen Bubbles for New Method of Juice Concentration
Abstract: Currently, juice concentrates are produced by separating water from fresh juice. For the production of juice concentrates, one of the following methods is used: evaporation of freezing water or the diaphragm method. During evaporation, the juice is heated in a vacuum in special trays, but this heat is not brought to the boiling point, since during the boiling process all useful substances will be destroyed. The mass obtained after evaporation …
