“…However, in comparison with the other selected host, the deteriorating effect of lemon against fungal infection was minimal due to the presence of thick skin of the outer layer of matured fruit. The skin created large barrier for the microorganism to attack the lemon fruits at the storage line (Arendse et al, 2018). In addition, the high acidity contents in the lemon fruit becomes a weapon for the lemon fruit to protect themselves from the foreign microorganism (Shen et al, 2017).…”

The berries of Piper cubeba L. or commonly recognized as tailed pepper are traditionally used as flavoring ingredients in various types of food. It has been reported with abundant of phytochemical compounds that contribute to its nutritional and medicinal properties. The antimicrobial effect of the spice including antifungal activity was believed to reduce the potential of fungal spoilage thus minimizing food losses and wastage. This study was aimed to determine the antifungal activity of P. cubeba L. extract against isolated spoilage fungi namely Geotricum candidum (TMa 001), Penicillium citrinum (GRd 001) and Trametes hirsuta (LMd 001) by in vitro and in vivo techniques. Disc diffusion assay, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) test of the methanolic extract were performed on the selected fungi. The largest inhibition zone, fungistatic and fungicidal effects were detected in T. hirsuta with 18.30±3.00 mm, 0.039 mg/mL and 0.078 mg/mL, respectively. The inhibition of conidial germination assay was performed at 0 × MIC, 0.5 × MIC, 1 × MIC, 2 × MIC, and 4 × MIC, and the result showed G. candidum were completely inhibited at 4 × MIC. The ideal concentration of P. cubeba L. extract on different selected food commodities were 0.50% against G. candidium in tomato, 0.50% to 5.00% against P. citrinum in grapes, and 5.00% against T. hirsuta in lemon. The findings implied that P. cubeba L. extract can be listed as one of the natural antifungal agents in food. The availability of various types of natural antifungal agents will help in reducing the usage of chemical fungicide, which may lead to adverse and deteriorating health effects in the events of prolong consumption.

“…X-ray radiation is a kind of electromagnetic wave where the wavelength is shorter than the ultraviolet and microwaves. Xray imaging is a well-established technique to identify strongly attenuating substances and has been used in various assessment applications within the agricultural and food industries (Arendse et al, 2018). X-ray evaluation focuses at the perception of differences in atomic values of substances in its imaging mode, which as a result, is the perception of various electron density within and between substances (Zwiggelaar et al, 1996).…”

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the most popular and nutritionally rich fruits. It is also acknowledged as the king of fruits in India. Quality attributes of mango fruit depends on its appearances such as size, shape, skin colour, flesh colour, flavour, sweetness, and aroma. Over the recent years, non-destructive techniques have been garnering the interest of researchers as potential technologies that can be used for quality assessment of fruits in a part of postharvest processing. The present patterns of non-destructive techniques are more efficient, inexpensive, yield faster and accurate results. This mini review paper focuses on some of the previous applications of non-destructive techniques in quality evaluation of mango, focusing specifically on the non-destructive technique based on quality parameters. The future trend of using non-destructive techniques for quality evaluation is also discussed in this review paper.

The last 10 years of knowledge on near infrared (NIR) applications in the horticultural field are summarized. NIR spectroscopy is considered one of the most suitable technologies of investigation worldwide used as a nondestructive approach to monitoring raw materials and products in several fields. There are different types of approaches that can be employed for the study of key issues for horticultural products. In this paper, an update of the information collected from the main specific International Journals and Symposia was reported. Many papers showed the use of NIR spectroscopy in the horticultural field, and the literature data were grouped per year, per product, and per application, such as studies of direct (chemical composition) and indirect (physical and sensorial) properties (P), process control (PC), and authenticity and classification studies (AC). A mention was made of a recent innovative approach that considers the contribution of water absorption in the study of biological systems.
