Objective: This study aimed to investigate the quality changes during the fermentation of sauerkraut without salt and inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and during low-temperature storage. Methods: The basic physicochemical indexes and quality changes of sauerkraut during fermentation were analyzed. Results: The unsalted sauerkraut reached maturity at 5 d of fermentation and the pH, nitrite content, reducing sugar content and vitamin C content decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the fermentation process. This included a decrease in vitamin C of up to 88.62% and a significant increase in total and overall organic acid levels (P<0.05). At fermentation maturity, the nitrite content was extremely low at （0.23±0.10） mg/kg; The organic acids were mainly lactic, oxalic and acetic acids and succinic acid. Except for succinic acid, other organic acids and other organic acids, such as oxalic and citric acids, increased after fermentation, and the lactic acid content increased by 26.5 times. Conclusion: The fermentation process effectively improved the sour and umami taste of the sauerkraut without salt, and ensured the excellent sensory quality. The storage performance was good at 4 ℃, and the storage period was 60 days.

In order to explore the suitable irradiation range of 60Co-γ ray irradiation on Youtazi, which was adopted 60Co-γ ray irradiation with different irradiation dose to investigate the effects of irradiation dose on microorganism, acid value (AC), peroxide value (POV) and chromatic aberration of Youtazi under different conditions. The results showed that the number of microorganisms in Youtazi decreased with the increase of irradiation dose, and the range of irradiation dose was 3~7 kGy. Irradiation can slow down the increasing trend of acid value in Youtazi during storage, and the higher the irradiation dose, the lower the acid value …
Effect Of Postharvest Spermidine Treatments On Quality And Biochemical Properties Of Nectarine Fruits, Erdal Orman
Effect Of Postharvest Spermidine Treatments On Quality And Biochemical Properties Of Nectarine Fruits, Erdal Orman
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
In this study, the effect of spermidine (SP) treatments at different doses after harvest on the changes in the pomological and biochemical contents of nectarine fruits was determined. The fruits were placed in cold storage (4 ± 0.5 °C and 90 ± 5% RH) for 30 days. Specific organic acids and phenolic compounds from biochemical compounds were analyzed by HPLC device. Weight loss and decay values, which are quality criteria of nectarine fruits, increased during storage compared to the harvest period. In this study, 1.0 mM SP application was found to be more successful in the preservation of visual quality …
