Effects of packaging materials following ethanol and benomyl treatments on chemical and microbiological changes in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruits

The effects of various post-harvest treatments on chemical changes, microbiological quality and occurrence of spoilage in ripe tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum L) were investigated. Fruits were pretreated in 70% ethanol or 0.2% benomyl before being packaged in low density polyethylene (LDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE) or raffia palm basket. Fruit was stored at 27–32°C for up to 16 days. Control fruits (without pretreatment or packaging) showed the highest increase in pH; basket-packaged fruits were erratic but LDPE- and HDPE-packaged fruits showed gradual increases. Changes in titratable acidity were the inverse of those in pH. Among packagings, LDPE most effectively maintained total soluble solids (TSS) as compared with basket-packaged fruits, and the control showed the lowest TSS. Of the pretreatments, benomyl-treated fruits retained higher TSS. Aspergillus spp, Penicillium spp, Pseudomonas spp and Escherichia spp occurred most commonly in control and basket-packaged fruits, but Rhizopus spp and Leuconostoc spp predominantly occurred in LDPE- and HDPE-packaged fruits. Microbial load was lowest in benomyl-treated fruits followed by ethanol-treated and control fruits. Spoilage was higher (53.1%) in ethanol-treated than in benomyl-treated (43.8%) fruits.     

交变电场处理对番茄贮藏效果的影响

以"上合219"番茄为试材,比较了经交变电场(-150~150kV/m)和静电场(-150kV/m)一次性短时(15、30min)预处理后番茄果实的贮藏效果。结果表明,交变电场处理效果好于静电场,能够显著降低番茄失重率和腐烂指数。进一步研究了番茄经交变电场(-150~150kV/m)预处理15min后在贮藏过程中生理指标的变化规律。结果发现,交变电场处理15min能显著抑制番茄果实的转红过程,延缓可滴定酸和番茄红素含量的上升,并且促进了脯氨酸的积累。     

Methyl jasmonate coupled with modified atmosphere packaging to extend shelf life of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) during cold storage

The effects of methyl jasmonate coupled with modified atmosphere packaging (MJ+MAP) on the quality and shelf life of mature green tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were investigated during cold storage at 5 °C. Tomatoes were treated with 10⁻⁴  m MJ and packaged under 5%O₂/5%CO₂/90%N₂ in a plastic bag. The effects of MJ+MAP were compared with control as well as heat treated (HT) samples. Control samples were tomatoes packaged under atmospheric air. HT samples were prepared by dipping tomatoes in hot water at 50 °C for 3 min and packaged under atmospheric air. The results showed that MJ+MAP and HT could delay ethylene production during tomato ripening and consequently slowed down the softening rate. MJ+MAP tomatoes showed better quality and less chilling injury (CI) symptoms than HT and control samples. Based on a nine-point score, shelf life criteria assumed that rejection would occur when the sensory attributes declined below 5. Control and HT overall acceptance scores were shown to fall below 5 scores after 3 and 6 weeks storage, while MJ+MAP had overall acceptance scores above 5 for up to 9 weeks. Control and HT samples could be stored for about 4 and 6 weeks, respectively, while MJ+MAP tomatoes could be stored for up to 9 weeks.     

氯化钙处理对李果实贮藏冷害及营养品质的影响

为探索减轻李果实冷害的新途径,以串红李子为试材,研究了不同浓度的氯化钙处理对低温下贮藏的李果实冷害及营养成分的影响。结果表明,对照果在冷藏12d后,可滴定酸、Vc含量都呈现快速下降的趋势,还原糖、可溶性蛋白、总糖含量异常上升,冷害指数逐渐增加,说明此时冷害已经发生。而经过氯化钙处理的果实,蛋白质、还原糖、总糖含量都呈现上升、下降的趋势,Vc含量呈现缓慢下降的趋势,外观冷害指数明显降低,内部冷害指数只有处理3明显低于对照,说明氯化钙处理从外观上明显地抑制了李果实冷害的发生,而综合内外两种冷害指数来看,只有处理3抑制冷害的效果最好,保持了李果实较好的营养品质。     

水杨酸处理对梅杏采后贮藏品质的影响

以梅杏为试材,用浓度为0.3、0.5、1.0g/L水杨酸（SA）溶液（清水为对照）浸果实20min后进行冷藏,研究水杨酸处理对梅杏采后贮藏品质的影响。结果表明,0.5g/L水杨酸处理能够较好地降低梅杏的呼吸强度和失重率,抑制细胞膜透性和丙二醛含量的增加,保持较高的硬度、可溶性固形物、可滴定酸、VC含量,减少梅杏腐烂发生,从而延长贮藏期。     

The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene treatment on the shelf life and quality of cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme) fruit

The use of 1‐methylcyclopropene (1‐MCP) to extend the shelf life of cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme) was investigated. Higher concentrations of 1‐MCP delayed the ethylene induced climacteric peaks in mature green (MG) and breaker (BR) fruits. Thirteen days after treatment, control fruits were 55% as firm as fruit treated with 0.11 μL L^?1 1‐MCP. The initiation of fruit softening, chlorophyll degradation and accumulation of lycopene and carotenoids was delayed in treated fruits. Higher 1‐MCP concentrations inhibited the accumulation of lycopene and carotene such that the colour of the fruit did not reach that of control fruit. Treatment of MG cherry tomatoes with 1‐MCP enhanced shelf life optimally, while treatment of BR fruits was beneficial where full colour and high content of lycopene and carotenoids is important. Differentiation of the different stages of ripening before application of 1‐MCP is needed in order to succeed in accomplishing different postharvest objectives.     

充气包装对青菜冷藏品质的影响

Antimicrobial efficacy of gaseous chlorine dioxide against Salmonella enterica Typhimurium on grape tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of gas level and treatment condition on antimicrobial efficacy of ClO₂ gas against Salmonella enterica Typhimurium on grape tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). Grape tomatoes were dip‐inoculated with inoculum of S. enterica Typhimurium TISTR 292 (ATCC 13311) (9.79 ± 0.39 log CFU mL^?1) and allowed to dry before treatments. The pre‐inoculated samples were exposed to 0.15–0.85 mg of ClO₂ gas, for up to 58 min. The treatments at 4 and 25 °C resulted in population reductions of S. enterica Typhimurium of up to 3.95 ± 0.22 and 7.37 ± 0.39 log CFU per fruit, respectively. The population reduction results were used to construct statistical models to predict efficacy of ClO₂ gas. The second‐order equations for treatments at 4 and 25 °C had R² of 0.87 and 0.95, respectively, and indicated that efficacy of ClO₂ gas was significantly influenced by ClO₂ gas level, exposure time and treatment temperature.

冻结速率对冻鸭品质特性的影响

鲜鸭分别于-35℃浸渍冷冻液和风冷冷库中冻至-18℃,然后在-18℃保藏库中贮藏5个月,以解冻汁液流失、蒸煮损失、肌肉剪切力、色泽、pH、TVB-N和微生物为指标,研究冻结速率不同对鸭在冷冻和贮藏过程中品质变化的影响,采用回归分析预测其贮藏期。结果表明:鸭体中心温度降到-18℃,浸渍式冷冻处理组用时仅仅52min,显著短于风冷组的738min;除pH值无显著差异外,浸渍式冷冻组的其他各项品质指标显著优于风冷冷冻组。     

Effect of packaging and storage on the keeping quality of pickled quail eggs

Storage stability of quail eggs pickled in 50% vinegar solution and subsequently stored in glass jars with pickling solution or in flexible pouches without the solution at mean ambient (24°C, 58% RH) and refrigeration (5°C, 80% RH) temperatures was investigated. Pickle solution, egg white and yolk reached equilibrium pH (4.26–4.31) within 2 and 5 days of ambient and refrigeration storage, respectively. Eggs lost up to 12.2 and 8.8% of their weight within 48 h of ageing under ambient and refrigeration storage, respectively. Polypropylene (PP)-packed pickles suffered maximum weight loss followed by high-density polyethylene (HDPE)-packed eggs; losses were negligible in polyester/foil/polyethylene (PFP) laminate-packed samples. A decrease in phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine with simultaneous increase in lysophosphatidyl choline and lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine plus sphingomyelin occurred in pickled eggs during storage. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value increased and sensory quality declined with storage time. Aerobic plate counts remained fairly low throughout storage. HDPE (84 μm) was found to be an economic and efficient alternative packaging to glass jar for storage of pickled eggs without the pickle solution for up to 4 and 12 months of ambient and refrigerated storage, respectively.

不同气调包装对醉虾贮藏品质的影响

研究了40%CO2+60%N2和100%CO2的气调包装以及真空和空气包装4种包装方式对贮藏醉虾菌落总数、理化指标和感官指标的影响。结果表明:相对于真空和空气包装组,100%CO2或40%CO2+60%N2的气体包装,对醉虾的保鲜效果较好,其样品的菌落总数和挥发性盐基氮含量较低,质地和色泽变化较小,感官评分较高。但由于100%CO2包装随着贮藏时间的延长,气体收缩较明显导致产品包装外观不理想,40%CO2+60%N2的混合气体包装更适合于醉虾的贮藏。     

Influence of different crop management practices on the nutritional properties and benefits of tomato ‐Lycopersicon esculentum cv Perfectpeel‐

In this study, we have explored the relationship between the cultivation method and the concentration of major flavonoid aglycones, hydroxycinnamic acids, carotenoids and the total antioxidant activity of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv Perfectpeel); in addition, we have investigated the bioactivity of polyphenol extracts from tomato. The main polyphenols in extracts were quercetin (33.90 ± 6.31 mg kg^?1 and 17.92 ± 1.09 mg kg^?1 in conventional and organic extracts), chlorogenic acid (3.52 ± 0.74 mg kg^?1 and 2.82 ± 0.92 mg kg^?1 in conventional and organic extracts) and caffeic acid (3.61 ± 0.71 mg kg^?1 and 3.29 ± 0.33 mg kg^?1 in conventional and organic extracts). Although statistical differences were found between organic and conventional extracts in several target compounds, no difference in biological effect was observed using cell models. The observed Trans Epithelial Electrical Resistance values were not significantly different between organic and conventional tomato extracts, but we have observed, in both samples, a decrease in tight‐junction permeability at 17 μm of polyphenol concentrations. Antioxidant compounds entering within the cell could exert an antioxidant action, nevertheless at concentrations >17 μm could have a pro‐oxidant effect.     

包装对低温贮藏盐水鸡产品货架期及优势污染菌群的影响

盐水鸡是一种具有客家风味的传统鸡肉制品。为寻找一种能经济、有效地延长冷链销售盐水鸡货架期的包装方式,本文比较了普通包装、真空包装和气调包装对盐水鸡产品理化指标和优势污染菌群的影响。研究结果表明,盐水鸡在低温贮藏期间,各种包装对盐水鸡的含水量、pH和挥发性盐基态氮的影响不显著(p>0.01);在低温贮藏期间,各种包装中好氧性菌落总数呈线性增长,其增长速率为普通包装>气调包装>真空包装。在整个短期低温贮藏期间,没有在各种包装的盐水鸡样品中检测出产气芽孢梭菌,大肠菌群及乳酸菌,但能检测出少量的霉菌和酵母。采用16srDNA序列分析法对各种包装中污染的优势好氧性菌落进行了分类鉴定。鉴定结果表明,各种包装中的优势好氧性菌有Pseudomonas sp., Staphyloccocus aureus,Exiguobacterium sp.,和Carnobacterium sp.,且各种包装中优势菌群存在明显差异。     

Nutritional quality of storage proteins during germination of Indian bean (Dolichos lablab. var. lignosus) seeds

The dry Indian bean seed composed of starch is the major component (33%) and protein accounted for 25% of dry weight. The ability of germination to increase the nutritional quality of storage proteins was studied by germinating the Indian bean seeds for 0, 8, 16, 24 and 32 h and evaluated the nutritional quality through an in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD), protein efficiency ratio (PER), apparent and true digestibility. The IVPD of raw Indian bean seeds by pepsin alone was 60.12% and the digestibility by pepsin and trypsin together improved to 64.24%. The in vitro digestibility by both processes increased appreciably with germination and marked increase was noticed in the early stage of germination. The PER values followed the same pattern as the value of weight gain of rats fed with diets containing raw and germinated Indian bean. The lowest PER values were observed with raw bean diet. However, the value increased in rats fed with diets of Indian bean germinated for different intervals of time, reaching comparable PER values with the group maintained on casein diet. The true and apparent nitrogen digestibility of raw bean low being only 82 and 72%, respectively observed with casein diet. Diets with germinated bean protein showed a marked increase in both parameters, although the values were still less than that displayed by the casein fed rats. Germination is a simple biochemical enrichment tool and significantly improves palatability, digestibility and the nutritive utilisation of proteins in Indian bean seeds.
