Mass modeling of guava (cv. Allahabad safeda) fruit with selected dimensional attributes: Regression analysis approach

AbstractThe correlation between physical parameters of guava like axial dimensions, projected area, volume, and mass is essential for developing postharvest machineries especially grading systems. The present study focused on measuring physical characteristics (dimensions, projected area, and volume) of guava (cv. Allahabad safeda), and the development of predictive linear and nonlinear (linear, quadratic, power, and S‐curve) models to determine the mass of guava. The fruits were graded based on the maximum equatorial diameter in three grades that is, large (Φ = 66–75 mm), medium (Φ = 54–65 mm), small (Φ = 43–53 mm), and mass modeling was performed. The model equations were also fitted on ungraded fruits samples for comparison purpose. The major, intermediate, minor intercepts, geometric mean diameter, weight, volume, and criteria projected area of the ungraded lot were 63.76 ± 6.03 mm, 59.90 ± 4.71 mm, 59.66 ± 4.43 mm, 61.05 ± 4.76 mm, 126.80 ± 30.88 g, 132.6 ± 35.0 cm3, and 33.10 ± 8.17 cm2, respectively. It was observed that predictions of mass models fitted on ungraded fruit lots were found superior to fitted on individual grades. The higher coefficient of determination (R2) and low mean relative deviation (MRD) indicated that quadratic models based on geometric mean diameter (R2 ≥.984, MRD = 2.32) and ellipsoidal volume (R2 ≥.986, MRD = 2.28) can effectively predict the mass of guava fruits. The possible applications of established mass models for developing an integrated and effective grading system and the prospective utilization of graded fruits for processing into a variety of value‐added products are also discussed.Practical ApplicationFruits with uniform grades usually have higher demand and consumer preference. Grading is the essential unit operation in postharvest management to achieve dimensional uniformity. The grading process becomes complex when fruits are graded with a similar appearance but difference in mass; therefore, mass‐based grading of fruit plays a vital role in the design of advanced machineries. Recent advancements and automation employ mass as a parameter that enhances the overall efficacy of grading operations. The developed mass models and outcome of this study will be beneficial for developing advanced grading machineries. The possible integration of machine vision systems with developed mass models will simultaneously enable the grading of guava with both dimension and mass. Additionally, information on some grade‐specific physical properties and their potential utilization will be necessary for the design of process equipment and the development of various value‐added products.

Sodium, potassium and arterial hypertension: what's new?

High blood pressure is a public health problem, causing high morbidity and mortality. Its prevalence could exceed 1.5 billion of cases by 2025. High-salt diets have been recognized for several years as a major contributor to elevated blood pressure, with a curvilinear relationship between salt load and increased systolic and diastolic values. On the contrary, potassium is considered as protective, with lower blood pressure values in populations consuming a lot of fruits and vegetables. The World Health Organisation has established recommendations, with a target consumption of less than 218 mmol and more than 90 mmol per day, of salt and potassium, respectively. In this review article, we cover the most recent evidence allowing to sustain those recommendations.

Assessment of the outcomes of eating additional fruits or nuts on periodontal condition – A clinical study

Background: Periodontal condition is a multifaceted chronic inflammatory condition that necessitates the formation of a pathogenic biofilm, the countenance of which is influenced by a variety of host-dependent factor grounds. The goal of the analyses presented in this article was to establish the outcomes of a huge upsurge in fruit or nut consumption on probing pocket depth. Materials and Methods: After the baseline investigations, the participants were randomly assigned to eat an extra 7kcal/kg body weight/day of additional fruit or nuts by drawing ballots. The ratio of randomization was 1:1. When the entire sums of probing pocket depths of the participants that were a minimum of 4-mm deep were compared amid groups, the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.012). Conclusion: This randomized trial found no evidence that eating a lot of fruits had a deleterious impact on periodontal condition or infection.

Adaptive Mechanical Jaws Based on Underactuated Systems

In the traditional fruit industry, farmers have a lot of fruit to pick in a short period of time when the harvest season approaches. They had to hire additional labor during the harvesting season because the fruit needed to be harvested accurately and quickly. But the additional cost of hiring seasonal workers puts more burden on farmers, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, this paper designs a robotic gripper with an arm and adaptive fingertips. The flexibility of the gripper allows it to grasp fruits of any shape and size without dropping or causing any deformation. In addition, motors and wheels can be added to the base of the arm and moved to the next tree. Using Arduino Nano as the controller, the device can use APP to achieve wireless Bluetooth control, easy to operate. The mechanical claw is driven by a three-jaw structure with only a single drive and adaptive function to complete the gripping action, and the mechanical claw is driven by a screw motor. The device also has two degrees of freedom, relying on two electric actuators to provide lifting action. The mechanical jaws have a human wrist-like rotation effect and can imitate the human hand when picking fruits.

The Utilization of Wuluh Starfruit for Making Facial Cleansing Solid Soap

Belimbing wuluh is one of the species in the family (Averrhoa). It is estimated that this plant comes from tropical America, this plant grows well in its country of origin, while Indonesia is mostly kept in the yard and sometimes grows wild in the fields or forest edges. In general, wuluh starfruit for the people of Aceh is used as a spice called sunti acid. Starfruit can also be used as a raw material for making soap which has properties to inhibit premature aging and overcome acne problems because starfruit contains vitamins A and C.Belimbing wuluh is also known as a plant that grows in the yards of Acehnese houses, which every time it bears fruit it will produce quite a lot of fruit, if it is not used for making processed products, the fruit will rot on the tree or fall on the ground. Based on the abundant raw materials, this research will focus on "Utilization of Starfruit for Making Facial Cleansing Solid Soap". The purpose of this research is to make solid soap with additional ingredients of starfruit, and produce solid facial soap from starfruit in the form of face wash sticks so that it is easy to use. The research method used is an experimental method which produces three samples that meet the 2016 SNI standard with a moisture content of 10% and a degree of acidity (pH) 10. From the three samples, the first sample had a hardness that matches the characteristics of solid soap.

Effect of the Olive Oil Extraction Process on the Formation of Complex Pectin-Polyphenols and Their Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Activities.

The aim of this research was to investigate the interaction of phenols and pectic polysaccharides during the olive oil extraction process. For this, pectin was extracted from fresh olive fruits and compared to the pectin isolated from the paste resulting from the extraction of the olive oil after milling with malaxation at 30 °C/30 min and subsequent centrifugation of the olive paste from the same lot of olive fruits in a system called ABENCOR (AB). The results indicate that these interactions were enhanced during the olive oil extraction process. In addition, the resulting AB extracts exhibited high antioxidant activity (ORAC) and strong antiproliferative activity in vitro against colon carcinoma Caco-2 cell lines compared to olive fruit extracts. The polyphenols associated mainly with the acidic pectin substance, with a higher content in AB extracts, seem to be responsible for these activities, and appear to maintain their activities in part after complexation. However, even in olive fruit extracts with smaller amounts of phenols in their compositions, pectic polysaccharides may also be involved in antioxidant and antiproliferative activities.

The effectiveness of nurse-led group interventions on hypertension lifestyle management: A mixed method study.

Hypertension is prevalent in Uganda and achieving treatment goals remains a challenge. Our aim was to assess the impact of a bundled nurse-led intervention on hypertension physiologic measures and lifestyle modification, and to explore perceptions of the interventions to enhance sustainability. We employed a sequential explanatory mixed-method design. The study was conducted at a large urban private hospital in Uganda from September 2018 to May 2019. Participants were clinic patients with hypertension currently under care. A total of 54 participants were enrolled in two study groups. Two focus groups with 16 participants and 2 nurse-educator interviews were conducted. Blood pressure and weight were measured at baseline, three, six, and nine months. The Self-Care of Hypertension Inventory was used to assess lifestyle modification. Monthly education and group-support with text-message follow-up were implemented. Two focus-groups and nurse-educator interviews were conducted to assess perceptions post-implementation. The analysis included descriptive statistic, multivariate analysis and qualitative analysis for themes and subthemes. Overall, participants had a mean weight loss of 7.7kg (p=0.001) and a mean reduction in systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 9.5mm Hg (p=0.001). Improvement in biometric outcomes was associated with lifestyle modification such as taking medicine as prescribed (p=0.008), eat lots of fruit and vegetables (p=0.043), and control your body weight (p=0.015). Thematic analysis yielded the following themes: Knowledge and understanding, Attitude change, Adherence-a real struggle, and Adapting to what suits us. Participants found group support, shared learning, and knowledge reinforcement enhanced their knowledge and self-efficacy. Nurse educators were motivated by the patients' favorable responses to the Bundled Education and Support with Text (BEST) intervention. Findings support the use of nurse-led interventions to enhance the achievement of hypertension treatment goals. To sustain the achieved lifestyle modification and blood pressure outcomes, participants expressed a desire for continued support, information access, and inclusion of patients as champions for knowledge dissemination. Future studies need to explore the provision of enabling structures to support nurse-led interventions in routine non-Communicable disease (NCD) care. Hypertension knowledge-gaps exist among patients and may reflect missed opportunities for patient engagement and education for behavior change. Bundled nurse-led hypertension interventions can significantly improve lifestyle modification and enhance hypertension outcomes. Persons supported and empowered with knowledge can act as conduits to wider communities in championing knowledge dissemination.

Development of a New Essential Oil-Based Technology to Maintain Fruit Quality in Tomato

In this study, a new technology was tested for its efficacy in the conservation of tomato fruits. An initial experiment was conducted to determine the effects of eugenol on the main quality parameters of Raf tomato fruits; then, a main experiment was performed to test the effectiveness of the new technology. In both experiments, fruits of the tomato cultivar Raf at the mature green stage were used. The preliminary experiment demonstrated the effectiveness of eugenol in maintaining fruit quality during the postharvest life of the fruit. In the main experiment, the fruits were packed using a sachet filled with a mixture consisting of 10:1:1 clinoptilolite clay, ground clove buds, and activated charcoal. This mixture was evaluated against a commercial ethylene scavenger composed mainly of KMnO4-impregnated sepiolite. Three lots of fruits were used: One batch was considered as the control, where the fruits were not packed but kept in an open box at room temperature. The fruits in the other two batches were packed in 2 L PET containers with lids at a rate of three fruits per container, and a sachet of ground cloves and a commercial scavenger was added inside each container in each batch. The containers were kept at room temperature, and the following main quality parameters were analyzed: ethylene production rate, firmness, color, content of soluble solids, and pigments. The results showed that ground clove buds led to a reduction in ethylene production which was associated with a delay in maturation and could be a good alternative for use in the active fruit packaging of horticultural products.

Identification, detection and eradication ofHymenoscyphus fraxineusfrom ash (Fraxinus excelsior) seeds

AbstractThe European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) real-time PCR protocol for the detection of ash dieback (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (T. Kowalski) Barak, Queloz, Hosoya) was optimized for diagnostics on ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) fruits. Ash fruits were collected from a range of sites in Britain, from trees with various levels of infection. To assess the potential pathway and the presence of H. fraxineus, tissue components of ash fruits as well as ash flowers were tested for the presence of H. fraxineus DNA and RNA. The fungus was detected on ash fruits from trees on all five sampled sites including symptomless, lightly and highly infected sites. DNA of H. fraxineus was detected on the pericarps of all fruit lots and on seeds from fruit lots that included damaged and empty fruits, but not on embryos or flowers. RNA of H. fraxineus was never detected on any of the samples or sample types, indicating that H. fraxineus was only detected in an inactive form (i.e. dormant or dead). The absence of RNA from the pathogen suggests that only spores of H. fraxineus are present on ash fruits. A double hot-water treatment was evaluated as a control measure for the eradication of H. fraxineus on ash fruits; these were treated before and after warm stratification. Large proportions of ash fruits survived the double hot-water treatments, with a 60.4 ± 28.4 per cent germination success rate depending on crop year. Double hot-water treatment of ash fruits proved to be an efficient, low cost and low-tech approach for the eradication of H. fraxineus on ash fruits.

Rheological characterization and influence of different biodegradable and edible coatings on postharvest quality of guava

This work aimed at evaluating the rheological behavior and the application of coatings of lyophilized fish myofibrillar proteins (LMP), cornstarch (CS), and gum arabic (GA) in fruit during storage. The rheological behavior of the LMP, CS, and GA solutions was carried out at the concentrations of 1 g of proteins, 3 g of corn starch, and 1 g of gum arabic, respectively. The solutions were applied to the guavas with peel and the parameters of color, weight loss, pH, total acidity (TA), total soluble solids (SST), SST/TA ratio, and firmness were evaluated. They were then stored at a temperature of 24 ± 0.21°C and relative humidity of 64 ± 1.15% RH in polyethylene trays. The CS filmogenic solution showed higher viscosity, followed by LMP and GA. Herschel–Bulkley model showed the best fit for all solutions, with dilating behavior for LMP, GA, and pseudoplastic for CS. The LMP and CS delayed the fruit's ripening when compared to the control and GA, checked by the color. The loss of mass and firmness with LMP and CS showed a lower percentage in the storage. LMP and CS will contribute positively to the slowdown mature of guavas. Practical applications We believe our findings may be of interest to readers, as they bring a new and exciting approach in the use of renewable raw materials at a low economic cost, and also exploring the potential of waste from the Fishing Industry, as well as natural plant products (starch and gum), considered biodegradable and biocompatible. Moreover, this study can be applied for a lot of fruit and vegetables, in order to reduce postharvest losses and complement the economic benefits, in a process considered environmentally friendly.

Postharvest durability of tomatoes with PVA covering

ABSTRACT Plastic packaging from petroleum derives used in the food industry represents serious environmental problems. Alternative solutions to these problems consist of the development of biodegradable packaging, such as films and edible coatings including the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). In this research we evaluated the effect of the PVA application by two different techniques aiming to increase shelf life of ripe tomatoes, cultivar Carmen. The methodology of this study consisted in covering tomatoes with a PVA solution and also with PVA impregnated tracing paper. The different fruit lots were kept in polystyrene trays for 19 days on a laboratory bench at a controlled temperature of 25±3ºC. The fruit analyzes were compared to the control fruits without any treatment, being evaluated firmness, pH, titratable total acidity, mass loss, total soluble solids content, water activity and color determination of fruit surface. Among the different treatments, the PVA coating applied directly to the fruits contributed to control the firmness and the mass loss, as well as this treatment influenced the total soluble solids content, the luminosity and the red color of fruits with statistical difference compared to the control and covered with tracing paper (with or without PVA). The PVA coating solution applied directly on the fruits contributed to maintain the postharvest quality of the ripe tomatoes.

Proximate and Major Minerals Components of the Edible Pulp of <i>Momordica charantia</i> Fruit

Momordica charantia (Cucurbitaceae), is a plant commonly used in traditional medicine in Senegal whose fruits are weakly consumed by the population. However, no data exists on the nutritional intake of the latter. This work aims to determine the physicochemical and biochemical characteristics of the pulp of Momordica charantia. The study focused on two lots of fruits from two geographically different regions of Senegal (Dakar and Fatick). The biochemical analyses of the pulp showed average values of protein from 2.39 ± 0.01 g/100 g to 3.19 ± 0.01 g/100 g; reducing sugar from 4.22 ± 0.10 g/100 g to 3.55 ± 0.10 g/100 g; totals sugar from 4.43 ± 0.02 g/100 g to 3.38 ± 0.58 g/100 g. The average contents of polyphenol and flavonoids were respectively from 1.91 ± 0.04 g/100 g to 1.04 ± 0.09 g/100 g and 32.59 ± 0.04 mg/100 g and 20.75 ± 1.19 mg/100 g. According to these results, the fruit of M. charantia may be considered as rich in antioxidant. At the opposite, it is very weak in mineral elements, such as calcium and potassium (1.01 mg/100 g; 3.38 mg/100 g). Meanwhile, the seeds content 24% of lipids. Thus, investigations should be done on its biological proprieties, physical and biochemical components.
