Effect of a combined biopolymer coating on the quality of asparagus spears during storage
(Tallinn: Scientific Route OÜ, 2026-06-11) Taraymovich, Iryna
The chapter is devoted to the study of the influence of a biopolymer coating based on sodium alginate and the antioxidant rutin on the quality of asparagus spears of Prius and Rosalie varieties during storage under refrigerated conditions. The influence of the coating on the preservation of marketable, physiological and organoleptic characteristics of asparagus was considered. It was found that the most pronounced effect was obtained when using a combined coating (1% sodium alginate +1% rutin), which combines the barrier properties of the biopolymer and the antioxidant activity of rutin. The use of such a composition allows to extend the shelf life of spears of both varieties by 7 days compared to the control, reduce mass loss by 1.9 times for the Prius variety and by 2.2 times for the Rosalie variety and increase the yield of standard products to 88.14–91.79% depending on the variety, despite the increased storage time. The use of the studied biopolymer made it possible to slow down respiratory metabolism, degradation of chlorophylls and carotenoids and stabilize the organoleptic characteristics of the product.
Reducing losses during storage of fruit vegetables: regulation of postharvest metabolism
(Tallinn: Scientific Route OÜ, 2025) Holiachuk, Serhii
Abstract This review article addresses modern strategies for reducing postharvest losses in fruit vegetables by regulating oxidative metabolism during storage. Fruit vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, zucchinis, pumpkins, and melons are highly perishable and susceptible to chilling injury due to their intense postharvest respiration and high moisture content. The article summarizes the physiological and biochemical responses of plant tissues to cold stress, including membrane damage, oxidative stress, and the imbalance of endogenous antioxidants. Emphasis is placed on combined treatment approaches that integrate physical methods (heat treatments, UV irradiation, modified atmosphere storage) with the application of bioactive substances, including phytohormones and natural antioxidants. The review highlights the role of heat-induced stress tolerance, antioxidant defense systems, and nanostructured delivery forms in mitigating cold-related metabolic disorders. It argues that the effectiveness of such strategies depends on species- and cultivar-specific responses, maturity stage, and preharvest conditions. A physiological understanding of tissue metabolism is essential to optimize storage parameters and design effective protective treatments
Development and characterization of ice cream containing vegetable oils
(2025-07-31) Taraimovych, Iryna; Panasyuk, Svitlana; Sydoruk, Tamara
Ice cream is considered one of the world's favorite desserts. It is important for consumers to get benefits and enjoyment from eating this sweet product. The main ingredients of ice cream are milk or cream, sugar, and sometimes egg yolks. Fruits, berries, cocoa, and vanilla are used to add flavor to the recipe. The milk or milk-egg mixture is first heated, then cooled, whipped to saturate the mass with air and obtain the appropriate texture, and frozen. Ice cream can be viewed as a multiphase system consisting of a cryo-concentrated aqueous phase, air bubbles, ice crystals and emulsified fat. The fat in ice cream comes from the dairy ingredients, but vegetable fats such as coconut or palm oil can also be added. The fat phase ensures the optimal structure of the ice cream, gives it a rich flavor and influences the quality characteristics. It also helps to stabilize the foam, which contributes to the delicate creamy texture of the ice cream. The development of a blend of milk and vegetable fats is one of the most important factors in shaping the required texture, taste and aroma properties of ice cream. The use of liquid vegetable oils containing unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins makes it possible to create a new food product with health benefits. The technology of ice cream using vegetable oils as an alternative to milk fats has been developed, which provides an innovative product enriched with unsaturated fatty acids. The influence of sunflower, linseed, and sesame oils on the texture of ice cream, its taste characteristics, and nutritional value was analyzed. The physicochemical properties of ice cream with the addition of vegetable oils, technological features of replacing milk fats with vegetable fats, as well as their impact on the stability of emulsions and organoleptic properties of the finished product are investigated. The technological aspects of the production of ice cream with vegetable oils, including emulsification, stabilization and freezing processes, are considered. The obtained results can be used to develop new types of ice cream with increased nutritional value and improved consumer characteristics.
