Extraction of tropical fruit juice using simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly technologies is gaining importance to produce high quality juices. Juice from pink-fleshed guava, pink-fleshed pomelo, and soursop was extracted using direct and indirect thermosonication methods by varying intensity, time, and temperature, and compared to those extracted using water bath incubation. Improvised models of juice yield, ascorbic acid, and total soluble solids responses were generated by eliminating insignificant model terms of the factors in full quadratic model using backward eliminating procedure. Main effects, 3D, or 4D plots for each response were developed based on factors that influenced the response. Results showed that the best extraction method for guava and pomelo juices were within indirect thermosonication method of 1 kW, 55 °C and 30 min, and 2.5 kW, 54 °C and 23 min, respectively. Direct thermosonication method at 10% amplitude, 55 °C for 2 to 10 min was more suitable for soursop juice. Thermosonicated extraction of tropical fruit juice can improve its juice yield, ascorbic acid content, and total soluble solids content.

Bambangan (Mangifera pajang Kosterm) is an indigenous fruit that can be found in Borneo Island including Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia), Kalimantan (Indonesia), and Brunei. Besides being freshly eaten, the pulp of bambangan fruit can be processed for juice production to expand its market potential. During the processing of fruit juice, the application of heat treatment such as pasteurization and sterilization might influence their rheological behavior. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the effect of heat treatment on the rheological properties of bambangan fruit juice (BFJ). The freshly squeezed BFJ was subjected to different heat treatment conditions; sterilization (121°C, 3 minutes), mild temperature long time (MTLT) pasteurization (65°C, 15 minutes), and high temperature short time (HTST) pasteurization (90°C, 1 minute). Rheological analysis of the heat-treated BFJ was performed using a rheometer at a shear rate ranging from 1 to 250 s-1 and a temperature between 5 °C to 70 °C. Pasteurization at 90 °C for 1 minute (HTST) was found to be the most suitable heat treatment for the BFJ. At this condition, the BFJ exhibited a non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid behavior (n < 1), fitted well with the Herschel-Bulkey model. The value of parameters obtained from Herschel-Bulkley equation for HTST treatment of bambangan juice were n= 0.83, k= 0.32 and yield stress= 3.96. The viscosity values of HTST bambangan juice at the temperature of 5, 20, 40 and 70 °C were 3.53, 2.33, 1.53 and 1.76 Pa.s respectively. This rheological information is of fundamental importance in optimizing equipment design, process control, and sensory evaluation.

Sweet cherry breeding programs are interested in developing new cultivars that are very early or very late in ripening, high yielding, with excellent fruit size and quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate new, promising, sweet cherry genotypes (G-1 and G-2) for ripening time, fruit morphology and fruit chemical content, and compare it with the standard sweet cherry cultivars (Bigarreau Jaboulay, B. H. Burlat, Seneca, Hedelfiger Riesenkirsche, Germersdorfer Grosse Kirsche, Emperor Francis and Bing). Experiment was done during four consecutive years (2006-2009) in Grocka, near Belgrade. The earliest fruit ripening was recorded in G-2 (22nd April) while the latest in `Bing` (2nd June). Fruit weight varied from 5.83 g (G-2) up to 8.93 g (G-1). Soluble solid content and total sugar content were the lowest in genotype G-2 (10.48%; 8.45%, respectively) but the highest in Emperor Francis (18.28%; 15.98%, respectively). No matter the fact that some standard cultivars showed better results for some traits, genotypes G-1 and G-2 are considered very promising. So, genotype G-1 could be intended for table consumption since it ripens 2-3 days after cv. B. H. Burlat, but have much higher fruit weight. Also, genotype G-2, the earliest in this trial, showed satisfactory fruit weight for this ripening time, which makes it very interesting for fresh market production.

Public health recommendations suggest limiting child consumption of fruit juice in favor of whole fruit due to juice’s high sugar content, lack of fruit fiber, and potential for excess intake. However, replacing juice with whole fruit may be particularly challenging for low-income and minority children, who report the highest intake of 100% juice. To address access and affordability challenges among low-income children, researchers partnered with pediatricians in an urban food desert community, to introduce a fruit and vegetable prescription program (FVPP) that provided a $15 prescription for fresh produce to every child during each office visit. Participating vendors included a farmers’ market and local mobile market. This study assessed changes in daily consumption of total fruit and whole fruit among 108 pediatric patients following six months of exposure to the FVPP. Child-reported mean daily intake of whole fruit increased significantly from the baseline to the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.03): 44% of children reported an increased intake of at least ¼ cup per day, and 30% reported an increased intake of at least ½ cup per day. Changes in total fruit intake (including fruit juice) were not significant. Results suggest a pediatric FVPP may have meaningful impacts on children’s dietary behaviors, particularly with regard to the intake of whole fruits.

Changes in Hunter L, a and b values, glucose, fructose and sucrose contents, concentration of four volatile compounds (ethyl butirate, ethyl caproate, hexyl butirate and hexyl caproate) and furfural, were studied in yellow passion fruit juice (Passiflora edulis var. flavicarpa) pasteurized at 75ºC/60s, 80ºC/41s or 85ºC/27s, during storage at room temperature (25±5ºC) and refrigeration (5±1ºC) for 120 days. While the sucrose content decreased, the glucose and fructose contents increased significantly over storage time. The Hunter L and b values behaved similarly, with a tendency to decrease over time, inversely to Hunter a value. Volatile compound concentrations also decreased over time, inversely to the furfural content. Pasteurization at 85ºC/27s resulted minimum changes in the studied passion fruit characteristics, while that at 75ºC/60s was the most harmful. Storage under refrigeration tended to keep the best quality characteristics of the juice.

Two sweet sorghum varieties (salt tolerant Jitianza 2 and salt sensitive Lvneng 1) were used to investigate their adaptation to NaCl stress under different cultivation conditions of potted cultivation and field cultivation, and selective transport capacity for K+ over Na+, and Ca2+ over Na+ of leaf sheath. NaCl stress decreased Pn, Fv/Fm, fresh weight of leaf sheath and leaf blade, field yield in both varieties. NaCl stress induced Na+ accumulation while it decreased K+ and Ca2+ levels in leaf sheath and leaf blade of both varieties. The increase in Na+ of leaf blade and the decrease in K+ and Ca2+ of leaf blade were greater in Lvneng 1 than those in Jitianza 2. Furthermore, the Na+, K+ contents in leaf sheath of Jitianza 2 were significantly higher than those of Lvneng 1 under NaCl stress. The selective transport capacity for K+ over Na+, and Ca2+ over Na+ of leaf sheath in Jitianza 2 was significantly greater than that in Lvneng 1. Pn, Fv/Fm, stem stalk field, ear field, juice yield, stalk Brix, sugar content of Jitianza 2 were significantly higher than those of Lvneng 1, which was correlated with stronger selective transport capacity for K+ over Na+, Ca2+ over Na+ of Leaf Sheath of Jitianza 2.

Objective: School meals comprise a significant amount of children's overall dietary intake. The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act made substantial improvements to the nutritional quality of meals served within the School Breakfast Program (SBP); yet, there are limited guidelines regarding sugar. In this study, we carried out a systematic evaluation of the sugar content of breakfast items offered within the SBP in Virginia elementary schools with free meals. Methods: We obtained menus and nutritional information from 32 districts, and examined one week of breakfasts. We categorized entrées based on standard deviations (SD) from the grand mean total sugar available: higher-sugar (>+1 SD), average-sugar (within 1SD), or lower-sugar (>-1 SD). Total sugar (g), energy (kcal), and % energy from sugar were examined for entrées and milk. Results: Across districts, entrées varied in total sugar (0-39g; mean+SD = 10.4±4.5g) and energy (60-530kcal; mean+SD = 205±47.8kcal). Most (96.9%) offered 100% fruit juice; of those that specified, 50.0% offered sugar-sweetened milk. Highly processed foods were prevalent. Conclusion: Findings suggest that meals offered might contribute to excessive overall sugar availability for children. Continued enhancements to the SBP are needed to optimize the nutritional content of meals served to low-income children.
