Postharvest Salicylic Acid And Melatonin Dipping Delay Ripening And Improve Quality Of ‘Sensation’ Mangoes, Mohamed A. Awad, Adel D. Al-Qurashi
The Philippine Agricultural Scientist
Freshly harvested mature-green ‘Sensation’ mangoes were dipped for 10 min in 2 mM salicylic acid (SA) and 0.2 mM melatonin (MT) alone or in combination and stored at 23±1°C and 60–70%RH. SA or MT delayed ripening measured as higher green peel color (lower a* values), firmness, titratable acidity (TA) and membrane stability index (MSI) and lower weight loss, total soluble solids (TSS), TSS/TA ratio and hydrolytic enzyme activities (polygalacturonase, xylanase and α-amylase) compared to that of untreated fruit. Total phenolic content (TPC) in peel of treated fruit increased with fluctuations during ripening and was higher than the control. In pulp, …

Evaluation Of The Inactivation Kinetics Of Cronobacter Sakazakii In Infant Formula Treated By Radio Frequency Dielectric Heating And Uvc Light [Research Note], Yun Deng, Yuwei Wu, Yuanrong Zheng, Danfeng Wang, Zhenmin Liu
The Philippine Agricultural Scientist
We studied the inactivation kinetics of Cronobacter sakazakii (CS) in infant formula subjected to radio frequency dielectric heating (RF) alone or sequential RF-UVC irradiation for 30 min. We used one linear model and two nonlinear models to fit the data and compared the results. Our findings revealed that CS was more susceptible to the combined treatment than to RF alone at the same temperature and that inactivation rate increased with increasing temperature. The sequential RF (90°C, 5 min) - UVC (25 min) treatment was the most effective at inactivating CS. The survival curves of CS were non-linear. …
