Intermediate moisture products were prepared from mackerel (Rastrelliger hnagurta) using salt curing in 20% or saturated brine for 20 hr and fermentation with an inoculum level of lo8 cellslmL of Pediococcus acidilactici followed by sun drying (28-33C) for 23 hr or drying in an electric oven (45-50C) for 14 hr to an 18% moisture level. The chemical and microbiological studies correlated with the organoleptic results, suggesting a shelf-life of 4 months for salted and dried products and 7 months for salted, fermented, and dried products.

1985. Effect of light and benzyladenine on dark-treated growing rice leaves (Oryza saiivti). I. Changes in chlorophyll content and catalase activity. -Physiol. Plant. 63: 79-86.Light-and benzyladeuine-indiiced reversal of the changes in chlorophyll content and catalase activity were studied in the attached first leaf of Oryza sativa L. cv. Bala, kept in darkness for different periods before maturation. Dark treatment caused a decrease in chlorophyll content and catalase activity at all times. Light treatment of dark-incubated seedlings at different periods before maturation reversed the dark-induced effect on chlorophyll content, catalase activity and dry weight and also caused a further rise in chlorophyll content compared to initial values. In darkness, the application of benzyladenine replaced the iight effect in maintaining catalase activity. Chlorophyll content was also maintained by initially applied benzyladenine. Benzyladenine did not promote the photoinduced maintenance and increase in chlorophyll content and catalase activity at any time. Treatment with hydrogen peroxide, glycolate and amizol resulted in an accelerated chlorophyll breakdown and had varied effects on catalase levels. Chlorophyll decrease due to peroxide accumulation was to some extent reversible by benzyladenine, but the hormone had no effect on the peroxide-induced decrease in catalase activity. Development of catalase is light dependent. Benzyladenine stabilises the enzyme but has no effect on its synthesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
