Study Of Storage Conditions On Monascus Purpureus Spore Viability, Li Yongbo, Li Jing, Song Lisha, Xiao Guoxue, Ma Yuan

Food and Machinery

Using the spore germination rate as evaluation index, study the effects of light, storage temperature, oxidation reduction potential, metal ions and low concentration of lactic acid on Monascus purpureus congjiang var. spore viability. The results showed that at the 2 ℃low-temperature storage, darkness, adding 400 μg/mL of VC, adding 1% lactic acid were beneficial to the Monascus purpureus congjiang var. spore viability. With the addition of 400 μg/mL VC had the highest activity, spore germination rate reached 74.22%; treatments of light, ultraviolet rays, 0.1% H2O2, Monascus purpureus congjiang var. spore germination rate were …

Impact Of Passive Modified Atmosphere Packaging On Physicochemical Properties, Bioactive Compounds, And Quality Attributes Of Sweet Pomegranates, Nurten Selçuk, Mustafa Erkan

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The effects of two different types of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the physicochemical properties, biochemical composition, and storage quality of sweet pomegranate variety Beynarı were investigated during long-term storage. Pomegranates were harvested at the commercial harvest stage and packed in two different commercial types of MAP (MAP1, sealed in packages made of Xtend® film; MAP2, sealed in bags made of ZOEPAC). Unpacked fruits stored in plastic boxes were used as the control. Following packaging treatments, all packed and unpacked fruit samples were stored at 6 ± 0.5 °C and 90 ± 5% relative humidity for 120 days, and they …
