“…It was found that, in both seasons, fruit firmness slightly decreased with storage period till 10 days, then significantly decreased with increasing period of cold storage as compared with zero time. In accordance with these results are those previously reported by numerous investigators working on different mango varieties such as Sankat et al(1994), Kumar et al(1995) andSuntharakingam (1996). They found a marked decrease in mango fruit firmness during storage.…”

The present study of 1997 and 1998 seasons was conducted to investigate the influence of preharvest potassium and phenylalanine foliar sprays on Pairi mango fruit characteristics during cold storage at 10 o C and relative humidity of 85-90%.Results indicated that potassium and phenylalanine treatments caused a reduction in weight loss, while the percentage of fruit decay and fruit firmness, generally, were not affected by all treatments. In the meantime, all treatments caused an increase in total soluble solids, sugar fractions and reduction in fruit starch.Results, also, revealed that potassium treatments increased juice acidity, while phenylalanine fioliar application alone did not influence juice acidity during the cold storage.In both years of study, results revealed that both potassium and phenylalanine caused a decrease in peel total chlorophyll and general increase in both carotene and anthocyanine.Regarding the effect of storage time, results showed an increase in the percentage of weight loss, fruit decay, total soluble solids, sugar fractions and carotene and anthocyanin. On the contrary, reduction in fruit starch content, juice acidity and destruction in peel chlorophyll occurred as the storage period advanced.

“…In order to promote the biodegradation of hemicelluloses and the lignin parts of the rice straw, pretreatment methods such as biological, chemical, and physical treatments are used to facilitate methane production before anaerobic digestion of crop straw [4]. Chemical pretreatment methods have been explored in previous studies, which include ultrasonic treatment [5], alkali treatment [6], and ammonia treatment [7][8] and so on. Previous studies have reported that alkali pretreatment is the best known method for enhancing the biodegradation of complex materials such as lignocelluloses' materials.…”

To discuss the internal effect of urea (CO(NH2)2) pretreatment on anaerobic digestion biogas production of rice straw waste, a self-designed laboratory-scale continuous anaerobic biogas digester was used in this study. Anaerobic biogas slurry, urea pretreatment and anaerobic digestion were evaluated for biogas production from rice straw. The results showed that the peak value of biogas production was attained on the 17th day by using 6% urea pretreatment on rice straw. However, the highest CH4 content was 49.8% on the 15th day for the 8% urea-treated rice straw. The cumulative biogas production of 6% urea pretreatment was the highest, about 16 540 mL, which was followed by 2% urea (12 283 mL), 8% urea (9 883 mL), and 4% urea (5 668 mL).

To discuss the effect of NaOH pretreatment technology for biogas production and methane (CH4) content enhancement during the anaerobic digestion of rice straw waste, a self-designed laboratory-scale continuous anaerobic biogas digester was used in this study. Anaerobic biogas slurry, NaOH pretreatment and anaerobic digestion were evaluated for biogas production from rice straw. The results showed that the peak value of biogas production was attained on the 16th day by using 6% NaOH pretreatment on rice straw. However, the highest CH4 content was 60.8% on the 24th day for the 4% NaOH-treated rice straw. The cumulative biogas production of 6% NaOH pretreatment was the highest, about 18 720 mL, which was followed by 8% NaOH (15 057 mL), 4% NaOH (12 103 mL), and 2% NaOH (10 754 mL).
