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 …

Northwestern Review

As ecologists increasingly employ molecular methods, they find that tried and true preservation solutions (e.g. ethanol or formalin) may not be optimal when samples are targeted for genetic analyses. Before traveling to remote sample sites, researchers need to consider which preservation methods are likely to yield the largest quantity and highest quality of DNA based on their travel times and field conditions. They also need to consider whether they will have access to preservatives at remote sites and whether those preservatives can be safely transported. To determine which preservation methods would most reliably preserve tissue for genetic analysis under a …


Impact Of Passive Modified Atmosphere Packaging On Physicochemical Properties, Bioactive Compounds, And Quality Attributes Of Sweet Pomegranates, Nurten Selçuk, Mustafa Erkan Jan 2016

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 …
