Recovery of ripening capacity in 'Rocha' pears treated with 1-MCP through the a...
Dias, Cindy; Brandao, Teresa R. S.; Salsinha, Ana S.; Amaro, Ana L.; Vasconcelos, Marta W.; Ferrante, António; Pintado, ManuelaStoring 'Rocha' pear treated with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) in controlled atmosphere is a common commercial strategy to extend pear storage time and prevent postharvest disorders. However, this strategy represents a challenge to the fruit industry because 1-MCP treatment obstructs the normal fruit ripening, potentially affecting the quality to consumers. To explore possible mechanisms to reactivate ripening,...
Influences of physicochemical stresses on injury and inactivation behaviour of ...
Miller, Fatima A.; Ramos, Barbara; Gil, Maria M.; Brandao, Teresa R. S.; Teixeira, Paula; Silva, Cristina L. M.Many minimally processed foods depend on a combination of inhibitory factors to reduce the hazard of foodborne illness. Therefore, inactivation of Listeria innocua was studied according to a 24 factorial experiment designed to draw conclusions about temperature (52.5 °C and 65.0 °C), pH (4.5 and 7.5), water activity (aw=0.95 and 0.99) and solute type (NaCl and glycerol) effects. Three di...
