Pythium indigoferae and Pythium irregulare, identified based on morphological and physiological characteristics, were isolated from necrotic roots, crown tissues and the rhizosphere of apple trees in Tunisia from 23 apple ...
[EN] The interactions between water content, matrix structures and chemical and physical events in complex foods are usually regarded in terms of water activity and glass transition. In this work, the water content and ...
This study aims to determine the influence of microwave drying coupled with air drying of apricot and apple in terms of the rehydration rate and capacity of dried samples. The microwave power level was 0.4 W/g for apricot ...
A probiotic low humid apple snack with potential effect against the infection caused by Helicobacter pylori has been developed from apple (cv. Granny Smith) and mandarin juice with a high microbial content of Lactobacillus ...
[EN] Osmotic dehydration experiments of Granny Smith apple were carried out in order to model the operation by using a nonlinear irreversible thermodynamic approach Samples were immersed into 65% (w/w) sucrose aqueous ...
