The study was conducted with the aim of processing and developing ready to cook jackfruit to evaluate their nutritional and sensory quality attributes. In this study, green tender jack fruits were harvested from 60 to 70 days after synthesis. Then the fruits were washed, peeled and cut into slices. The slices were treated by dipping into different solutions for each treatments viz. control (T1), 0.5% salt solution (T2), 0.2% citric acid solution (T3), 1000 ppm potassium metabisulfite (KMS) (T4), 1000 ppm KMS + 0.5% salt (T5), 1000 ppm KMS + 0.2% citric acid (T6), 0.5% salt + 0.2% citric acid (T7) and 1000 ppm KMS+ 0.2% citric acid+ 0.5% salt (T8). Then the treated sliced was steam blanched at 85°C temperature for 8 min. The roasted beef spices were mixed and then dried at 50°C, 60°C and 70°C temperature owing to preparation of ready to cook. Results revealed that ready to cook dried at 50°C, 60°C and 70°C temperature took 72 hrs, 48 hrs and 36 hrs respectively. Low potassium metabisulfite residue was observed with increasing blanching time and drying temperature. The physicochemical characteristics, phytochemical and antioxidant activities were retained more and the highest sensory score was obtained at 60°C temperature. The marketable life of the RTC jackfruit could be extended to more than 6 months. However, the findings suggest that green tender jackfruit treated with 1000 ppm KMS, blanched for 8 min and dried at 60°C is a quick and healthy option in terms of good marketable life, nutritional and sensory quality attributes.

Germination And Growth

Stem-end rot (SER) is a serious postharvest disease of mango fruit grown in semi-dry area. Pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms endophytically colonize fruit stem-end. As fruit ripens, some pathogenic fungi switch from endophytic colonization to necrotrophic stage and cause SER. Various pre/post-treatments may alter the stem-end community and modify SER incidence. This study investigates the effects of harvesting mango with or without short stem-end on fruit antifungal and antioxidant activities, the endophytic microbiome, and SER during fruit storage. Our results show that harvesting mango with short stem significantly reduced SER during storage. At harvest, fruit harvested with or without stem exhibit a similar microorganisms community profile. However, after storage and shelf life, the community of fruit without stem shifted toward more SER-causing-pathogens, such as Lasiodiplodia, Dothiorella, and Alternaria, and separated from the community of fruit with stem. This change correlated to the high antifungal activity of stem extract that strongly inhibited both germination and growth of Lasiodiplodia theobromae and Alternaria alternata. Additionally, fruit that was harvested with stem displayed more antioxidant activity and less ROS. Altogether, these findings indicate that harvesting mango with short stem leads to higher antifungal and antioxidant activity, retaining a healthier microbial community and leading to reduced postharvest SER.

Apple juice was subjected to centrifugal block cryoconcentration (CBCC) for three cycles and their effect on the physicochemical properties, bioactive compounds, antioxidant activity, volatile profile, and sensory analysis was investigated. In the final cycle, the solutes were approximately four-fold of the initial condition (≈14 °Brix) and the color (ΔE* ≈ 25.0) was darker than the fresh juice, with bioactive compound concentration values close to 819 mg GAE/100 g d.m., 248 and 345 mg CEQ/100 g d.m. for total polyphenol, flavonoid, and flavanol content, respectively, equivalent to a retention of over 60%. DPPH and FRAP assays presented high antioxidant activities, with values of approximately 1803 μmol TE/100 g d.m. and 2936 μmol TE/100 g d.m, respectively. The cryoconcentrate showed a similar aromatic profile to the fresh juice, with 29 and 28 volatile compounds identified, respectively. The centrifugal force allowed to obtain excellent process parameters, with 73%, 0.87 (kg/kg), and 85% for efficiency, solute yield, and percentage of concentrate, respectively. Sensory evaluation shows that the odor, aroma, and flavor of fresh sample were remained in the reconstituted cryoconcentrate sample, with good qualifications (four points in a five-score hedonic scale) by trained panelists. Therefore, CBCC can preserve important quality attributes from apple juice.

Mango is a fruit with a very short shelf-life due to its rapid ripeness after harvest; it is high in B vitamins, contains some amounts of magnesium, calcium, zinc, and selenium and it is rich in soluble and insoluble fibers. In order to reach the European markets at proper marketable maturity, fruit from tropical countries are harvested at early maturity stage. Although this harvesting practice improves mango postharvest life, fruit reach the market with very low quality, especially in terms of taste. The present study was conducted to evaluate food quality, sensory attributes and nutraceutical value of “Osteen” fresh Mediterranean Italian mango fruit, and imported ones coming from tropical countries. Mango fruit imported from abroad were collected from 5 large-scale organized markets; fresh Italian mango fruit were harvested from a commercial orchard, at green- and mature-ripe stage. Imported and fresh Italian mango fruit were analyzed in terms of firmness, total soluble solids content, titratable acidity, flesh disorders, nutraceutical value, and sensory attributes. Mediterranean Italian mango fruit showed the best quality performances in terms of nutraceutical value and quality attributes. Sensorial analysis confirmed this behavior, these quality attributes, were perceived by the trained panel, that preferred fresh Mediterranean mango fruit.

The quality attributes and storage life of ‘Irwin’ mango fruit can be effectively maintained with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) application and/or chitosan coating. Mango was treated with 5 µl l-1 1-MCP for 12 h, dipped with 0.5 % chitosan, 5 µl l-1 1-MCP combine with 0.5 % chitosan and untreated (control) then stored at 10°C. Application of chitosan coating delayed electrolyte leakage (EL) while1-MCP maintained firmness, EL and extended storage life at 32 days after storage. Therefore, using application of 1-MCP in mango at 10°C is a feasible technology for maintains quality and prolongs storage life in order to expand marketability and export options.

Abstract. In this study, cytoprotective and antioxidant activities of Rosa canina (RC) and Salix alba (SA), medicinal plants, were studied on mouse primary splenocytes by comparing Controlled Differential Sieving process (CDSp), which is a novel green solvent-free process, versus a conventional technique, employing hydroethanolic extraction (HEE). Thus, preventive antioxidant activity of three plant powders of homogeneous particle sizes, 50–100 µm, 100–180 µm and 180–315 µm, dissolved directly in the cellular buffer, were compared to those of hydroethanolic (HE) extract, at 2 concentrations (250 and 500 µg/mL) in H2O2-treated spleen cells. Overall, compared to HE extract, the superfine powders, i. e., fractions < 180 µm, at the lowest concentration, resulted in greater reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination, increased glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) production. Better antioxidant and preventive effects in pre-treated cells were found with the superfine powders for SA (i. e., 50–100 µm and 100–180 µm, both p < 0.001), and with the intermediate powder for RC (i. e., 100–180 µm, p < 0.05) versus HE extract. The activity levels of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in pretreated splenocytes exposed to H2O2, albeit reduced, were near to those in unexposed cells, suggesting that pretreatment with the fine powders has relatively restored the normal levels of antioxidant-related enzymes. These findings supported that CDSp improved the biological activities of plants, avoiding the use of organic solvents and thus it could be a good alternative to conventional extraction techniques.
