Questionnaires were used to collect data from 180 randomly selected fruit producers of six districts. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were employed for data analysis. Result revealed that fruit losses in the preharvest and postharvest were 20.7% and 22.1% of the total production respectively. Multiple regression analysis depicted means of income, use of pesticides and use of compost and manure had significantly contributed to losses in the preharvest. Regression analysis revealed experience, educational level of producers and shortage of labour had significant effect for losses during harvesting whereas chemical treatment and educational level affected losses in storage. Moreover, experience, distance from market, educational level were significant factors of fruit loss during marketing. Therefore, the study suggests adoption of scientific approach, education, skill developments and use of pre and postharvest technologies are important to minimise losses.","PeriodicalId":14399,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Postharvest Technology and Innovation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45788615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main concept behind the study was the application of turbidity instead of gas chromatography to determine the separation quality of patchouli oil from its aqueous mixture. This study proved that there was a linear relationship between turbidity and oil content in its water emulsion during distillation processes. The results showed that temperature, the addition of chemical agents, and pH influenced separation quality. A temperature of 60°C was proved to be the optimum separation temperature. At this temperature, separation required less cooling water, saving energy and streamlining the process. A pH of 4 was proved to be the best value, while NaCl was proved to be the best additive at a concentration of 0.2% in patchouli oil-water mixture.","PeriodicalId":14399,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Postharvest Technology and Innovation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43164567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the areas of interest is the shipment of tomatoes using road transport. Because tomatoes have a limited shelf life, it is vital to control the factors that lead to early deterioration of the quality of the product. Logistical operations can cause numerous forms of cuts and bruises on harvested tomatoes which compromise their quality and appearance. For this experiment, the in-transit conditions were monitored on trucks shipping tomatoes from three farms in Limpopo, South Africa to the fresh produce market in Pietermaritzburg. This research attempts to create a model that relates tomato damage and loss in shelf life to the road condition, fruit ripeness and position in the container. With this information in hand, logistic planners can make informed decisions during route planning. Transportation cost can be weighed against the cost of losses of produce during transportation. Similar models can be developed to include other types of fruits and vegetables.","PeriodicalId":14399,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Postharvest Technology and Innovation","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48433415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Squid ink in the form of melanin free ink (MFI) could be act as an electron donor which can stabilise free radicals in lipid oxidation. Studies were carried out to assess the antioxidant activity of squid inks converted into MFI in different dilution and to optimise the extraction conditions for the application of MFI as an anti-oxidative agent on fish product. Three different concentrations of MFI extracts i.e., 0%, 0.75% and 1.5% were applied on soft-boned milkfish at 10°C, 20°C and 30°C temperature storages for nine days, with observation every three days. The results showed the animism of the ink through chemical parameters, antibacterial effect, and sensory analysis. MFI at a concentration of 0.75% was revealed to be effective in prolonging cold storage shelf life of soft boned milkfish, which was confirmed through comprehensive sensory analysis evaluation and measurement of chemical changes including water, protein, lipid and ash content. It was also discovered that 0.75% MFI significantly prolonged the cold storage period of soft boned milkfish until six days, indicating that it may be developed to be a natural preservative for marine products.","PeriodicalId":14399,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Postharvest Technology and Innovation","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41420694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
