New study reveals potential of edible coatings to extend shelf life of pointed gourd and green chillies
A research team has identified a promising method for extending the shelf life of perishable produce in response to the growing global concern over food sustainability and the urgent need to reduce waste.
Proteomic Insights Reveal Key Strategies to Extend Broccoli’s Freshness and Shelf Life
A research team investigated proteome-level changes in harvested broccoli florets stored at room temperature and refrigerated conditions using Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) technology.
Breakthrough Insights into Strawberry Senescence: Hormonal Interplay Key to Extending Shelf Life of ‘Benihoppe’ Variety
A research team discovered that the rapid senescence of harvested strawberry ‘Benihoppe’ results from increased perishability, softening, water loss, increased soluble sugars within 2 d, and changes in hormone levels.
The Physics of Gummy Candy
In Physics of Fluids, researchers conduct a series of experiments that explore how changing key parts of the gummy-making process affects the final product, as well as how the candies behave in different storage temperatures. The group adjusted a variety of inputs while making the gummies, from the glucose syrup-to-sucrose ratio to starch and gelatin concentrations, to understand how these changes affected features like candy texture, moisture content, and pH. They used these results to identify the most shelf-stable combination for gummy candies.
