“…CO 2 permeability values of AH/Ph/TG films are comparable to PVC, whereas WVP of AH/Ph/TG films is 4 times higher than the values exhibited by LDPE and 500 times higher than the PVC one. Plastic is the most widely used food wrap, but water vapor commonly condenses on the inner surface of plastic packaging materials, leading to potential microbial contamination of fresh products . Thus, a film providing a moderate barrier to water vapor is desirable, because a high WVP is not advisible, as it can result in excessive loss of moisture during storage.…”

To this regard, AH/Ph/TG could represent a valid candidate to replace petrochemical-based plastic packaging materials with the double aim to reduce pollution and recycle high value byproducts such as albedo contained in the Citrus sp.…”

Swelling, Mechanical, and Barrier Properties of Albedo-Based Films Prepared in the Presence of Phaseolin Cross-Linked or Not by Transglutaminase

Edible films were obtained from Citrus paradisi grapefruit albedo homogenates and bean protein phaseolin modified or not by the enzyme transglutaminase. Swelling capability, barrier performance to water vapor, oxygen and carbon dioxide, and mechanical properties of such films were investigated. The addition of the protein, mostly in the presence of transglutaminase, provide films less swellable at pH values above 5 compared to films made by albedo homogenates only, whereas the action of the enzyme clearly improves mechanical properties producing more stretchable and elastic films. Moreover, transglutaminase-mediated cross-linking of phaseolin gives rise to films less permeable to carbon dioxide and able to offer a high barrier to water vapor. These findings suggest that albedo-phaseolin film prepared in the presence of transglutaminase can be a promising candidate to be used as food edible wrap.

“…The fruits were firm in texture and were of good colouration than non-wrapped fruits. Ben-yehoshua (1985) also recorded reduced shrinkage and extended shelf-life with mango-fruits stored in heat shrinkable polyolein films (D-955). Wrapping in plastic films, followed by incubation at 30 ± 2°C and 75-90% RH, significantly reduced rot severity (Chandra and Pathak 1992).…”

POST-HARVEST MANAGEMENTApricots are soft and delicate and need to be consumed/processed within three days after harvest. They can be stored for 72-80 hr at room temperature. Storage life can be extended by storing at 5°C and at 85% relative humidity. Under controlled atmospheric conditions, fruits can be stored for 10 days at 3°C.

“…Specifically, the study aimed to explore the experience of being a young man in Bedouin society in Israel ( Josselson & Lieblich, 2003). The aim of a qualitative study, according to the Constructivist approach, is not to discover the reality (after all, there is no single absolute and true reality) but rather to study various interpretations of that reality (Tzabar Ben-Yehoshua, 2001). This method is particularly suited to the current study, which attempted to describe the young men's perceptions of masculinity and the meaning they ascribe to their masculinity.…”

The meaning of masculinity for educated young Bedouins

Israel's Bedouin population—an Indigenous, traditional, collective, patriarchal society—is at the height of social change, introducing modernization, religion and altered gender relations. Young Bedouin men are experiencing the ramifications of their masculine identity. As in other collective societies that emphasize mutual dependence and cooperation, honour has great meaning and unlike individualistic societies, maintaining masculine and family honour is important in the construction of masculinity. These cultural differences may influence young men's views of honour, particularly family honour, which is a key principle in collective cultures. An exploratory qualitative study used semi‐structured interviews of 20 educated Bedouin young men and grounded theory to investigate what masculinity means for them. They defined masculinity by comparing theirs to that of the ‘other’. They also described the crucial evaluators of masculinity: the family's older men. Protection and close supervision of women were found to be key factors in the assessment of masculinity. Also evident was the influence of the men's education on their gendered perceptions and their use of Western‐oriented language regarding egalitarianism and women's rights. The findings may contribute to social work practice, especially in patriarchal societies, and may help in understanding how men may use their patriarchal power to generate change.
