Color change of fruit-based products during storage is an important quality parameter to determine their shelf life. In this study, a combination of relative humidity (RH) and illumination was evaluated on the stability of strawberry leathers. Samples were conditioned at 25 °C, in chambers with RH of 22.

Mechanical and acoustical instrumental tests can help to predict and compare the sensory crispness of food products. This study proposed a method to correlate crispness sensory analyses to instrumental parameters using the standard products of the Spectrum Crispness Sensory Scale. An acoustic system was developed with a high-sampling rate for characterizing food crispness.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined the impact of gamma irradiation on the physicochemical and structural properties of rice starch from two cultivars, IAC 202 and IRGA 417.
  • The samples were treated with different doses of irradiation and compared to a control sample.
  • Irradiation increased the amylose content, carboxyl content, and acidity, while it affected the thermal properties of the starches differently based on cultivar and dose.
