TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of blanching on enzyme inactivation (polyphenol oxidase and peroxidse), color, texture, and other qualities of pomegranate arils were discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the incidence of postharvest losses of cabbage at retail purchase and during consumer simulated storage and find that these losses were equivalent to over R10 million (∼US$1 million) per annum, while the equivalent wasted fresh water was estimated to be sufficient to meet the needs of over 217,000 per year.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the recent studies on applying finite element modeling (FEM) in the food industry, emphasizing the freezing and thawing processes, and offer promising insight into the use of FEM for the accurate prediction of key information pertaining to food processes.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D digital image correlation with two cameras and stereovision was used to determine the full-field displacement of corrugated paperboard packaging subjected to compression loading.

TL;DR: Moisture diffusivity of grape stems was studied under cold airflow storage conditions (1.21 −± 0.25 −1.23 −1 ) during postharvest storage as mentioned in this paper.
