Corinthian raisins (Vitis vinifera L., var. Apyrena) antioxidant and sugar content as affected by the drying process: a 3‐year study.

BACKGROUND: Corinthian raisins or Corinthian currants are dried grape products that account for approximately 3% of dried vine fruit production worldwide. Greece is the major Corinthian raisin producer. In this study Corinthian raisins were produced by applying two traditional drying methods, i.e. sun and shade drying. The drying process effect on the raisin phytochemical and […]

Microwave Application for Controlling Oryzaephilus surinamensis Insects Infesting Dried Figs and Evaluation of Product Color Changes Using an Image Processing Technique.

In this study, microwave heating was employed for controlling Oryzaephilus surinamensis adult beetles infesting stored Iranian dried figs. The dried fig samples were artificially infested with O. surinamensis and then heated in a microwave oven (2,450 MHz) at power outputs of 450, 720, and 900 W for 20, 30, 40, and 50 s. Changes in the color of the […]

Information integration of force sensing and machine vision for in-shell shrivelled walnut detection based on the golden-section search optimal discrimination threshold.

BACKGROUND: Shrivelled defect has a serious effect on walnut quality and is a common internal defect of in-shell walnuts. However, only depend on single detection technique such as machine vision to detect in-shell shrivelled walnuts is challenging. Meanwhile, the threshold has a great impact on the accuracy of the discrimination analysis. So the golden-section was […]

Growth of Salmonella on Inoculated Inhull Pistachios during Postharvest Handling.

Salmonella has been isolated from dried pistachios in both postharvest and retail surveys. The source of Salmonella in pistachios is unknown, but introduction is possible at points during production, harvest, and postharvest activities. To examine the behavior of Salmonella on pistachios during simulated postharvest conditions, early-, mid-, and late-season inhull pistachios were collected from two commercial processors over five different harvests. Pistachios were inoculated with […]
