Similarly, Tarozzi et al. (2004) assessed the impact of cultivation practices, commercial processing, and storage of fruits and vegetables on phenolic antioxidants. They investigated the influence of commercial cold-storage periods on antioxidant properties of apples grown by organic or... 

Processing effects. Citrus oil quality may be affected by certain processing parameters. Some which have been studied include effects of yield from the fruit, the amount of water used during recovery and extraction, storage of fruit prior to processing, blending of fruit varieties, and handling the emulsion or finished oils (12). 

Low-molecular silicone elastomers are a basis for rubber membranes which are used in the production of containers for prolonged storage of fruit, vegetables and other kinds of food. Sealants from low-molecular silicone elastomers are more and more often used to copy articles with complex configurations. The sealant is poured to make a mold which is then filled with molding mixture. This technique is used to copy works of art, in criminalistics (to fix prints), in dentistry (to make models for dentures), etc. 

Alany existing applications involve small adsorption systems for home and automobile applications, eg, refrigerant drying in automobile air conditioners, dual-pane window desiccants, medical oxygen systems, and muffler corrosion protection. Such small adsorption systems will continue to be developed for new uses in indoor air pollution and odor abatement and for the enhancement of the performance of other equipment and appliances. For example, adsorption-based control of the composition of air in refrigerators can provide improvements in the storage of fruits and vegetables.

The large-scale storage of fruit, particularly apples and pears, is now carried out under refrigeration ( 4°C) and in a chemically controlled atmosphere where the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 4% (v/v). The onset of fruit deterioration is heralded by the production of ethanol, which may be detected by online analyzers of the headspace type.
