The dwarf golden apple (Spondias cytherea Sonn) is an exotic fruit which is mainly consumed in its fresh form but could be processed. The objectives of the study were to investigate the effects of adding golden apple nectar on the physicochemical and sensory quality of stirred yoghurts from cow's milk. Yoghurts with 15% and 20% golden apple nectar were more (P>0.01) liked than the control (0% nectar) yoghurt in all sensory attributes. The appearance and body attribute differed (P<0.01) between yoghurts with 15% and 20% nectar. The overall sensory quality of these yoghurts was rated very good to excellent. There were significant (P>0.05) changes, in pH, lactic acid, consistency, colour, lactic acid bacteria and yeasts and moulds on storage at 4 degrees C for 4 weeks. By week 4 of storage, yoghurts developed a buttery smell and were less dark and yellow. A 226 g yoghurt serving provided an excellent source of phosphorus and was good in protein.

Background: The concept of inclusion within diversity, equity, and inclusion has broad meanings and implications and has not been explored in nursing through a World Café.

Purpose: To describe the process and experiences of 9 nurse scientists who hosted a World Café focused on inclusion, to share participants' insights, and to offer considerations to advance inclusion in nursing.

Approach: We hosted and encouraged active participation in a World Café that focused on 7 inclusion topics in nursing during the 2024 Midwestern Nursing Research Society Annual Research Conference.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ultrasound used as a preliminary treatment and drying temperature on the properties of dried apples (var. Golden Delicious). The aim of the work was also to optimise the process in terms of reducing the drying time and obtaining a product with specific properties.

Apples and apple-derived products can be contaminated with patulin and, to a lesser extent, aflatoxin B1 and fumonisins. Fruits were collected from Golden Delicious and Imperatore trees in three orchards in Veneto, Northern Italy, and analysed for the presence of fungi and mycotoxins. Sampling and analyses were also carried out from storage bins to final puree tanks along the apple-puree production chain.

Many quantitative traits are controlled by multiple genetic variations with minor effects, making it challenging to resolve the underlying genetic network and to apply functional markers in breeding. Affected by up to a hundred quantitative trait loci (QTLs), fruit-soluble sugar content is one of the most complex quantitative traits in apple (Malus sp.).

Article Synopsis
  • Overhead evaporative cooling (EC) using untreated surface water helps reduce sunburn on apples in Washington State, but it poses a risk of foodborne pathogen contamination, specifically E. coli.
  • The study investigated the survival of E. coli on two apple varieties (Gala and Golden Delicious) over three growing seasons, examining factors like EC treatment, canopy location, and fruit maturity.
  • E. coli levels decreased significantly during the study, with detection still possible after 154 hours; apple variety and maturity affected die-off rates, while EC treatment and canopy location did not significantly influence daily die-off rates.
