Effect of gamma irradiation on histological and textural properties of carrot, potato and beetroot

Influence of freezing on the bioaccessibility of beetroot (Beta vulgaris) bioactive compounds during in vitro gastric digestion

“…Figure (a 1 ) shows the microstructure of RAW samples prior to in vitro gastric digestion. RAW samples were composed almost of isodiametrical and polyhedral cells with few intercellular spaces, as was previously observed by Nayak et al . Significant cell lysis was observed after 180 min of in vitro gastric digestion (Fig.…”

Effect of storage conditions on photostimulated luminescence of irradiated garlic and potatoes

“…This technique has the potential to prevent the sprouting of stored vegetables that can lead to improved product quality (Arvanitoyannis, Stratakos, & Tsarouhas, 2009). In case of various root crops, many studies have described useful effect of low dose irradiation (50-150 Gy) for sprout inhibition Farkas, 2006) and relatively high dose (1 kGy or more) for other technical purposes (Kwon, Yoon, Sohn, Byun, & Cho, 1984;Kwon, Jeong, & Chung, 2002;Nayak, Suguna, Narasimhamurthy, & Rastogi, 2007).…”

The Effect of Irradiation on Bioactive Compounds in Plant and Plant Products

“…An irradiation dose between 3 and 12 kGy is able to break polysaccharide bonds in the cell wall (Figure 14.2) and leads to soft tissue (Nayak et al, 2007). It has been used to increase the efficiency of extraction.…”
