Nondestructive determination of soluble solids content and pH in tomato juice using NIR transmittance spectroscopy

The potential of near-infrared (NIR) transmittance spectroscopy to nondestructively detect soluble solids content (SSC) and pH in tomato juices was investigated. A total of 200 tomato juice samples were used for NIR spectroscopy analysis at 800–2400 nm using an FT-NIR spectrometer. Multiplicative signal correction (MSC), and the first and second derivative were applied for pre-processing spectral data. The relationship between SSC, pH, and FT-NIR spectra of tomato juice were analyzed via partial least-squares (PLS) regression. PLS regression models were able to predict SSC and pH in tomato juices. The r _c, RMSEC, RMSEP, and RMSECV for SSC were 0.92, 0.0703°Brix, 0.150°Brix, and 0.138°Brix, respectively, whereas those values for pH were 0.90, 0.0333, 0.0316, and 0.0489, respectively. It is concluded that the combination of NIR transmittance spectroscopy and PLS methods can be used to provide a technique of convenient, versatile, and rapid analysis for SSC and pH in tomato juices.

Inactivation of Penicillum expansum in sour cherry juice, peach and apricot nectars by pulsed electric fields

Inhibitory effects of pulsed electric fields (PEF) on Penicillum expansum inoculated into sour cherry juice, apricot and peach nectars were determined based on germination tube elongation, spore germination rate, and light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations in this study. After inoculation of juice/nectar samples with P. expansum spores at the level of 10(5)-10(6)cfu/mL, the samples were processed by bench scale PEF pulse generator as a function of differing electric field strengths (0, 13, 17, 20, 23, 27, 30 and 34kV/cm) and processing times (0, 62, 94, 123, 163, 198 and 218mus). Results revealed that with an increase in electric field strength and processing time, germination tube elongation and spore germination rate were completely inhibited. Light and SEM observations revealed considerable morphological alterations in fungal conidia such as cytoplasmic coagulation, vacuolations, shrinkage and protoplast leakage. PEF processing of juice/nectars was demonstrated to be effective in inactivating P. expansum. To our knowledge, this is the first study confirming the inhibitory effects of PEF on germination tube elongation and spore germination rate of P. expansum in fruit juice/nectars.     

胡萝卜汁添加对乳化肠食用品质的影响

研究了胡萝卜汁添加对乳化肠色泽、质构特性、保水性以及感官品质的影响。基于最优基础配方,实验通过控制胡萝卜汁的添加量(0%、5%、10%、15%),探索其对于乳化肠食用品质的影响。结果表明:添加胡萝卜汁组与对照组(胡萝卜汁添加量0%)的色差、质构以及感官方面存在显著差异(P0.05)。随着胡萝卜汁添加量的增加,红度值、硬度都呈显著下降趋势,而蒸煮损失、黏聚性和弹性与对照组没有显著差异。胡萝卜汁添加量为10%的样品组的硬度、咀嚼性和胶着性最好,且通过感官评定得知该组各项指标综合评定结果最好,本实验得出10%是胡萝卜汁较优的添加量。

Enhanced preservation effects of sugar apple fruits by salicylic acid treatment during post‐harvest storage

BACKGROUND: Salicylic acid (SA) is recognised as an endogenous signal, mediating in plant defense and against pathogens. It has been reported that SA treatment can reduce decay and extend storage life of various fruit, such as bananas, peaches and apples. RESULTS: Physiological and biochemical responses in harvested sugar apple fruit (Annona squamosa L.) to SA at 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 mmol L^?1 were investigated during post‐harvest storage. Results indicated that SA treatments lowered respiration, increased activities of antioxidant enzymes of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), decreased lipoxygenase (LOX) activity and correspondingly lowered Malondialdehyde (MDA) contents in treated fruits was observed as compared to the control. Moreover, production of superoxide free radical (O₂^{?, ?}) and ethylene was significantly decreased in the treated fruits. Total soluble solids, total soluble sugar, softness and decay rate were significantly lowered in treated fruits, and in turn a delay in the fruits ripening process was achieved after 10 days of storage. CONCLUSION: SA has positive effects in maintaining membrane integrity and in delaying fruit ripening process, which results in improved storability of sugar apple.
