Article Synopsis
- The study examines how fruit ripening affects firmness and sugar content in Carica papaya L. var solo 8 during post-harvest storage at different temperatures.
- It identifies three maturation stages of papaya and measures changes in firmness, sugar levels, and enzymatic activities during storage.
- Findings suggest that higher enzymatic activities in mature fruit lead to significant loss of firmness and increased sugar content compared to green immature fruit.
This study was conducted to assess the antibacterial and the antifungal activity of a polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHMGH)-based disinfectant and to determine if it could be used as a disinfectant for the treatment of cocoa beans. The activity of PHMGH was tested in vitro for efficacy against five reference strains of pathogenic bacteria and six strains of fungi isolated from cocoa beans. All the strains tested were sensitive to the disinfectant.
