نفذ البحث خلال الفترة 2013-2016 م في كلية الزراعة بجامعة دمشق , بهدف دراسة تأثير المعاملة ببعض المواد الكيميائية والطبيعية ( 1- ميثيل سكلو بروبان , ونتروبروسيد الصوديوم , الشيتوزان , وأمينوفينل علايسين , والميثيل جاسمونات , وفيتامين E ) في القدرة الت
خزينية لثمار البندورة ( الهجين Tala ) وصفاتها البيوكيميائية ( نسبة المواد الصلبة الذائبة TSS ونسبة الحموضة القاتلة للمعايرة TA ) والفيزيائية ( الصلابة ونسبة الفقد بالوزن والفقد المطلق ومؤشرات اللون ) ومعايير الأكسدة ومضادات الأكسدة .
Grape Vitis Vinifera L. var. "Baladi" was fumigated with acetic acid at two
concentrations 75 and 100 %, during two successive seasons 2008/2009, to study
their effect comparing of sulfur dioxide pads and control. However, Sulfur
dioxide pads were
packed in 40 μm polyethylene bags thickness at two
concentrations 1 and 1.5 g/ kg fruit. All treatments were stored at 0 ± 1 Cº and
90-95% RH for three months, in cooling units of pome and vine research
department in Swaida. Chemical and physical properties were assessed every
15 days intervals, and in every time shelf life was measured for three days at
room temperature and calculated as total loss %. Acetic acid treatment effected
as well as or better than sulfur dioxide pads during cold storage. Which, acetic
acid fumigation decreased weight loss %, decay % and berry shatter %,
moreover, berry adherence strength (g) and berry firmness (kg/cm2) were
increased, but T.S.S %, total acidity % and sugars % have not significant
differences comparing to sulfur dioxide fumigation and control. In addition to
that, the application of acetic acid increased shelf life in days by decreasing
total loss %; also this treatment improved some sensory properties and was
satisfied for consumer demand.
This study was conducted at the laboratories of Food Science Department at
the Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University in order to study the
possibility of prolonging the shelf life of chicken breast by vacuum packaging
and treating with aceti
c acid. Chicken breasts were immersed into a solution
having 1% or 2% of acetic acid concentration for 30 sec. and packaged with
vacuumed and not vacuumed sacs. Samples were preserved at 4±1 ºC for 21
days and examined after 0, 7, 14 and 21 days of refrigeration for
microbiological, chemical and sensory properties. Microbiological analyses
included determination of total count of bacteria, coliforms, Salmonella,
anaerobic bacteria, Pseudomonas, yeasts and molds. Chemical analyses
included determination of pH value and non-protein nitrogen. Sensory
properties were evaluated for color, smell and texture. Results revealed that
samples immersed into a solution with 1% and 2% of acetic acid concentration
had affectively improved quality and sensory properties of chicken breast for
more than 14 days compared with control samples and the samples treated by
2% of acetic acid with vacuum packaging had the best quality results.
This research carried out to estimate the importance of use of 1-MCP in increasing
shelf life of Japanese persimmon ,var (Hachiya) , and maintaining fruits quality. The fruits
were treated with different concentrations of 1-MCP (0.5-1-1.5) ppm soon
ly after harvest
at 20Cᵒ during 24 h, then stored for 6 months at controlled conditions (2Cᵒ and 85% of
relative humidity). The samples were taken periodically (every month) to study the
changes in fruits composition during storage period.
The results showed that treatment with 1-MCP keeps fruits at higher degree of
firmness compared to the control, and decreased the loss in weight at storage period.The
treatment with 1-MCP decreased as well the changes in the fruits composition of Vitamine
c, total acidity (TA) compared to the control.
These results indicate that treatment with 1-MCP is effective in increasing shelf-life
of Japanese persimmon fruits var (Hachiya).
