Development of Active Modified Atmosphere Lab Scale

Setup to Study the Effect on Shelf-life of Banana

(var. ‘Robusta’)

Aditya Madan*, R. K. Jain, A. S. Nandane

Department of Food Processing Technology, A. D. Patel Institute of Technology,

Anand, Gujarat, India

Abstract The present study investigated the effect of modified atmosphere on the shelf-life of

banana fruit. Partially ripened banana fruits (var. Robusta) were placed inside the modified atmosphere chamber, made up of high-grade acrylic sheet and in perforated

and non-perforated LDPE bags to study the physico-chemical changes and shelf-life of

banana. The quality of the stored product was adjudged by comparing with normal atmospheric storage conditions. The fruits stored under modified atmosphere conditions

had a storage life as thrice the shelf-life of control (with retained firmness, freshness and greenness). Non-perforated package was preferred over perforated package for banana

storage. Ranking test was employed for sensory evaluation, preference of panelists for

color, firmness, freshness and appearance was statistically analyzed at 5% significance level. The overall acceptability of banana stored in MA chamber was significantly higher

(p < 0.05) as compared to other storage treatments.

Keywords: Banana, modified atmosphere storage, shelf-life, greenness

Abstract A study was carried out among 200 (male = 100 and female = 100) orphanage children aged below 18 years from different orphanage homes in Tangail city, Bangladesh. The

objective of this study was to assess their lifestyle pattern, demographic information and

nutritional status. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect relevant information from the orphan children. Data were collected by random sampling method.

Nutritional determinants and food intake patterns were analyzed. In this study, one-third of the orphanage children (33.0%) belong to the age group of 12–14 years. The reasons

for living in orphanages were mainly because of parent’s death (40%), death of father

(26%) and second marriage of father (19%). Nutritional status of orphanage children is disappointing and the prevalence rate of underweight, stunting and wasting was 33, 35,

and 39% respectively. The nutritional status of the orphanage children according to Gomez classification is observed and it indicated that 36.5, 22.5, 28 and 14% of the

children were normal, first degree, second degree and third degree respectively. The

morbidity rates for the male and female children were 27 and 36% respectively. Therefore, comprehensive programs are required to be undertaken for overall nutritional

development of the orphanage children.

Abstract Lycopene is a red carotenoid most notably found in tomatoes. The most common and

abundant source of lycopene is tomatoes. Lycopene is a highly unsaturated open straight chain hydrocarbon. The system of conjugated double bonds allows lycopene molecules to

efficiently quench the energy of singlet oxygen and to scavenge a large spectrum of free

radicals. The benefits of lycopene range from cardiovascular disease, male infertility,

osteoporosis, cancer and diabetes. ADI of lycopene is 0.5 mg/kg body weight.

Keywords: Lycopene, tomato, antioxidant, free radical, chronic disease

Influence of Oil-based Edible Skin Coating Material on

the Postharvest Quality and Shelf Life of Muskmelon

(Cucumis melo l.) Stored at Low Temperature

Muhammad Azhar Ali, Adnan Zulfiqar*, Atta Muhammad Arif, Abdul-Rahim Khan,

Zafar Iqbal, Saima Parveen Post Harvest Research Centre, Faisalabad, Pakistan

Abstract The use of coatings has turned into an important element of the fresh fruit and vegetable

trade. Coatings can reasonably control product physiology, thus lengthening the market window for commodities with a finite shelf life. An oil-based edible skin coating material

(SCM) was prepared by the Post Harvest Research Centre, Faisalabad. Muskmelons

were coated with this oil-based edible SCM by spraying method and stored at 12 2 °C

with 90–95% relative humidity. The influence of oil-based edible SCM on the postharvest quality and shelf life of muskmelons during storage at low temperature was evaluated for

21 days at weekly storage interval on the basis of weight loss, firmness, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, fungal decay and sensory qualities. It was observed that the

coating of muskmelons with oil-based edible SCM delayed changes as compared to

uncoated ones with less weight loss, less loss of firmness, low change in pH, less decrease in titratable acidity, less increase in total soluble solids. No fungal decay was

observed in the coated muskmelons as compared to uncoated ones for which fungal

decay was recorded at the end of the storage period. The sensory qualities of the coated muskmelons were better than those of the uncoated ones.

Keywords: Oil-based edible skin coating material, postharvest quality, shelf life,

muskmelon, low temperature storage, PHRC

Abstract The three different varieties of tamarind, viz., Ajanta, Thailand and local variety were

used for the study to standardize the process for preparation of value added products from tamarind, viz., RTS beverages, sauce and squeezy and evaluate their physico-

chemical and organoleptic qualities for 90 day storage. Tamarind RTS beverage was

prepared from the juice obtained by pulp dilution followed by centrifugation at 7000 rpm for 10 min and the product recipes were standardized by varying the TSS and acidity.

Study revealed that there was increase in TSS, acidity, reducing sugar, total sugar,

tartaric acid and decrease in ascorbic acid in all the products during storage and they can be well stored up to 2 month at ambient condition and over 3 month at refrigeration

condition.

Keywords: Tamarind, sauce, RTS beverages, squeezy, tartaric acid
