Effect of Different Treatments on Storage Quality of Celery Petioles
(2023-07-31)
This study was conducted for two seasons 2021 and 2022 to evaluate the influence of the hot water at 45º C or 50º C, chitosan at 0.5% and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) at 5% O₂ + 5% CO₂, 5% O₂ + 10% CO₂ and passive MAP presented as control on quality attributes and browning of fresh-cut celery petioles during cold storage at 0º C for 16 days. The results indicated that all treatments were effective in reduced weight loss, color changes, discoloration, chlorophyll loss, total microbial count, polyphenol oxidase ...

Newly implemented crop-livestock-forest systems increase available water and aeration in soils of the Brazilian Savannah
(2023-11-21)
There is a growing demand for cropping systems that guarantee food production by improving the use efficiency of natural resources such as soil and water. The crop-livestock-forest (CLF) system is a form of sustainable intensification in which biodiversity and yields are increased on the same area. In this study, the physical-hydric properties of a Ferralsol and Cambisol in Central Brazil within the Savannah biome (Cerrado) were investigated 2 and 1 year after implementation of CLF systems. Soil samples were collected ...

Effect of storage temperatures and modified atmosphere packaging on sprouting and quality attributes of fresh peeled garlic cloves
(2023-11-30)
This study was conducted during 2021 and 2022 seasons to evaluate the influence of active modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) at levels of 3% O₂ + 5% CO₂, 3% O₂ + 10% CO₂, 3% O₂ + 15% CO₂, 3% O₂ + 97% N₂, and 5% N₂ + 95% O₂ as compared with passive MAP as a control on sprouting and rooting delay and maintaining quality attributes of fresh peeled garlic cloves during storage at 5 and 10°C and 90 - 95% relative humidity for 20 days. The results indicated that all active MAP treatments were effective in reducing weight ...

Evaluating essential micronutrient content, sensory acceptability & economic viability of formulated sesame (Sesamum indicum), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) & groundnut (Arachis hypogea) food blend
(2023-08-31)
Food blending involving legumes and cereals that has been widely explored, however, there is a paucity of evidence of the use of ‘neglected crops’ such as sesame oil seed in complementing cereals and legumes to alleviate micronutrient deficiency. A completely randomised design involving food blends as treatments and a cross-sectional survey for sensory acceptability of food blends evaluation was done. Proximate macro- and micro-nutrient composition of substrates and food blend mixes was done using the Association of ...

The Impacts of Different Pea Protein Isolate Levels on Physiochemical, Textural, and Sensory evaluation of Ready-to-Cook Plant-Based Minced Meatballs from Oyster Mushroom
(2023-09-10)
The effects of different ratios of pea protein isolate (PPI) (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% w/w) on ready-to-cook plant-based minced meatballs made from oyster mushrooms were investigated. Increasing the PPI ratio resulted in higher protein content, while values for lightness (L*), yellowness (b*), hardness, adhesiveness, and chewiness decreased compared to the control. Sensory evaluation indicated that all treatments received overall liking scores ranging from 6.50 to 7.23. The study demonstrated that incorporating 10% PPI ...

Chemical analysis and consumer acceptance of oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) rendang as a typical West Sumatra culinary innovation
(2023-08-29)
Rendang is one of the typical foods of the Minangkabau people in West Sumatra. The cooking process takes about 6-7 hours at a temperature of 80-90ºC, which decreases the nutritional level. This long process enables the perfect cooking of the meat. White oyster mushrooms can be used as a substitute for rendang meat because the vegetable protein contains lots of fibre, and the texture is similar to meat. Based on the results of the hedonic test on 72 respondents under and above 45 years old, the oyster mushroom rendang ...

The potency of robusta coffee pulp as a vinegar product
(2023-11-30)
Coffee processing produces 40-50 % of by-products that can damage coffee plants and cause environmental pollution. The coffee pulp as waste can be used for producing acetic acid solution as a preservative and hand-washing agent to prevent infection. The fermentation process can affect the quality of the acetic acid solution. This study aims to analyse the effect of yeast types and time fermentation as well as to determine the characteristics of acetic acid solution from Robusta coffee pulp. The experiment consists ...

Cricket powder (Acheta domesticus) as a lean pork meat replacer in cooked sausages
(2023-08-29)
The incorporation of insects in everyday foods is a developing area. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the optimal percent replacement (5.0, 7.5 or 10.0%) of lean pork meat with cricket power (CP) in cooked sausages. For this purpose, the quality and safety were evaluated through the following parameters: pH, moisture, water activity, TBA value, colour (L*, a*, b*), texture and sensory profile, microbiological status and microstructure during seven-day cold storage. The pH of cooked sausages with CP ...
