Effects Of Controlled Atmosphere Storage On Specific Biochemical Changes In Apricot And Peach Fruits, Bartley Norman Wankier
Effects Of Controlled Atmosphere Storage On Specific Biochemical Changes In Apricot And Peach Fruits, Bartley Norman Wankier
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The effects of controlled atmosphere storage vs conventional refrigerated storage on the metabolism of Moorpark and Large Early Montgamet apricot and Elberta peach fruits were studied. The controlled atmospheres studied were 0.0 percent CO2-5.0 percent O2; 2.5 percent CO2-5.0 percent O2; 5.0 percent CO2-2.5 percent O2; 7.5 percent CO2-5.0 percent O2; as compared to conventional refrigerated storage. Nitrogen percent was assumed to be the difference between the total CO2 and O2 content minus 100.
Fruits were periodically removed from the storage and …
Effects Of Water Hardness On Processed Quality Of Carrots, Sweet Cherries, And Apricots, Jack C. Chiang
Effects Of Water Hardness On Processed Quality Of Carrots, Sweet Cherries, And Apricots, Jack C. Chiang
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The Honey Sweet carrots were canned with Ethyienediamine tetracetic acid (CaNa2EDTA) and Sodium hexametaphosphate (Ha-HMP) at five different water hardness (0 , 20, 40, 80, 160 ppm of calcium and 20 of magnesium) , then stored at temperatures of 70 and 100 F. Evaluations were made at sixty-day i intervals for six months. Firmness and color degradation decreased significantly when water hardness or storage time increased. Under storage at 100 F and 0 hardness of water, the decrease of color and firmness was constantly accelerated.
When hard water (above 80 ppm or below 40 ppm) was used for …
