Summary: This study investigated the effects of storage on purees made from three different varieties of sweet peppers, analyzing their chemical, bioactive, and microbiological qualities. Results showed that red puree retained the highest amount of bioactive compounds, while green puree had a higher NEB index. Overall, the study suggests that the shelf life of sweet peppers can be extended through the use of purees with maximum retention of bioactive compounds.

Summary: The shelf life of pasteurized Passiflora setacea pulp was estimated through accelerated tests. The pulp was pasteurized and stored at different temperatures for 12 days, during which microbiological, nutritional, functional, and sensory evaluations were conducted. Results showed that the pasteurized pulp had a longer shelf life under low temperature conditions.

Summary: This study found that combining MF with UVC can effectively reduce bacterial load, extend the shelf life of skim milk, and retain the bioactivity of milk serum proteins, while HTST pasteurization is less effective. Increasing UVC dosage can further reduce bacterial load without damaging milk serum proteins.

Summary: Food safety and quality is a major concern, and conventional plastic-based food packaging is difficult to dispose of. Therefore, there is a need to develop new eco-friendly food packaging materials. In this study, new materials with antioxidant and antibacterial properties were developed using cellulose, enzymatic activation, and bioactive agents. The modified paper showed improved antioxidant and antibacterial properties.

Summary: The research shows that ultrasound treatment does not affect the pH or titratable acidity of fruit pulp, but can increase the soluble solid content and enhance antioxidant capacity. The ascorbic acid content in the pulp decreases during storage, but the decrease is smaller in the 40 kHz treatments. The smallest global color difference was found in the 40 kHz treatment at 30 minutes throughout the shelf life.

Summary: During cold storage, CO2 production decreased and ethylene production increased slightly, while during shelf life storage, CO2 production increased and ethylene production increased more sharply. Firmness increased during cold storage and remained stable during shelf life storage. The content of total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), pH, total carotenoids, and lipo-antioxidant activity (L-TAA) remained stable under both storage conditions.

Summary: This study investigated the sensory profile, shelf life, and bioactive compounds dynamics of 17 edible flowers during cold storage. Different flower species showed wide ranges of sensory and phytochemical characteristics at harvest, as well as varying shelf life and bioactive compounds dynamics. Understanding these factors can help select suitable species for the emerging edible flower market.
