Superficial scald development in 'Granny Smith' and 'Nicoter' apples: The role of key volatile compounds when fruit are stored under dynamic controlled atmosphere.

A positive correlation of α-farnesene and its oxidation metabolites with superficial scald is commonly reported in apples stored in air or controlled atmosphere (CA) systems, where O levels are above the lower oxygen limit (LOL) tolerated by the fruit. Nevertheless, the LOL can be monitored by the dynamic controlled atmosphere (DCA) techniques and to provide different physiological responses. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate key volatile metabolites from 'Granny Smith' and 'Nicoter' ('Kanzi®') apples stored under dynamic controlled atmosphere (DCA) monitored by respiratory quotient (RQ), i.

The isolated or combined effects of dynamic controlled atmosphere (DCA) and 1-MCP on the chemical composition of cuticular wax and metabolism of 'Maxi Gala' apples after long-term storage.

Apples have a continuous hydrophobic layer that covers the surface of the fruit, which is called the cuticle. The effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) on the cuticular wax layer of apples were reported after cold storage, although the interaction between 1-MCP and dynamic controlled atmosphere (DCA) is not yet known. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effects of 1-MCP on the wax composition and metabolism of 'Maxi Gala' apples after storage in a controlled atmosphere (CA) and dynamic controlled atmosphere based on chlorophyll fluorescence (DCA-CF) and respiratory quotient (DCA-RQ; RQ = 1.

Effect of ultrasound on proteolysis and the formation of volatile compounds in dry fermented sausages.

Ultrasound (US) is an emerging technology capable of affecting enzymes and microorganisms, leading to the release of amino acids and the formation of volatile compounds. The effect of different exposure times (0, 3, 6, and 9 min) of US (25 kHz, 128 W) on the proteolysis and volatile compounds of dry fermented sausages during processing (day 0 and 28) and storage (day 1 and 120) was investigated. Lower alanine, glycine, valine, leucine, proline, methionine, and tyrosine levels were observed at the beginning of manufacture for the sample subjected to 9 min of US (p < 0.

Key volatile compounds of 'Fuji Kiku' apples as affected by the storage conditions and shelf life: Correlation between volatile emission by intact fruit and juice extracted from the fruit.

For the 'Fuji Kiku' apple, this study aimed: (i) to evaluate the volatile compounds (VCs) from headspace storage chambers with static controlled atmosphere (CA) and with dynamic controlled atmosphere based on chlorophyll fluorescence (DCA-CF) and based on respiratory quotient (DCA-RQ1.5) at ninth month of storage, during 1 and 7 days of shelf life of intact fruit, and in apple juice headspace and (ii) to determine the correlation of the VCs in the headspace from storage chambers and fruit during shelf life with the headspace VCs from apple juice as markers of quality. The VCs were isolated by solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and analyzed by gas chromatography.

Effects of feeding legume-grass pasture and different concentrate levels on fatty acid profile, volatile compounds, and off-flavor of the M. longissimus thoracis.

Pasture-finished beef is becoming more popular among consumers due to concerns related to fatty acid content and sustainable practices. The effects of finishing crossbred steers on legume-grass pasture comprised of oats, ryegrass, and clover (PAST), legume-grass pasture plus whole corn grain (WCG) supplementation (SUPP), and only with WCG (GRAIN) on fatty acids profile, volatile compounds, sensory, and texture attributes were studied. Pasture diets (PAST and SUPP) led to lower n-6/n-3 ratio (P < 0.
