Mango fruit plays an important economic role in Côte d’Ivoire as the third major exported fruit after banana and pineapple. The main issue of the mango value chain in Côte d’Ivoire is linked to poor agricultural practices and postharvest losses due to climateric characteristics of the fruit. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of bioactive edible coating made of garlic extract and cassava starch as a novel approach to enhance the postharvest quality and shelf-life of Keitt mango fruit.

Four species of oyster mushroom including P. djamor, P. eous, P. florida and P. citrinopileatus were tested for their yield performance, of them, the most promising yield was obtained in P. eous and P. djamor with minimum spawn running period. On subjecting them with additional substrates, sorghum grain was superior over other spawn substrates for quality spawn production in terms of earliness in growth of spawn and total yield followed by wheat grain.

Spent hens being the byproducts of poultry layer industry are available in abundance. The problem with utilisation of spent hen meat is their perishability while transporting from one place to another place. So the present investigation was undertaken to assess the shelf life of spent hen meat with addition of natural substances like ginger extract so that such byproducts are utilized as protein source and burden on red meat is minimized.

The environmental pollution and risk of resistance development in the pathogen by the use of chemical pesticide makes necessary to use biological agents. However the major limitations to utilize biological agents are the inconsistency, unreliable efficacy and short shelf life of the living entities used in the formulation. In this context an experiment was conducted to formulate four bacterial bio-agents viz., Bacillus subtilis-KK-9A, Brevibacillus borstelensis-BK-6, Brevibacillus sp-PM-2A and Lysinibacillus xylanilyticusVK-6B and consortium of them.

The effect of pre harvest spraying of calcium chloride (CaCl2) and calcium nitrate (Ca NO3) @ 0.5 and 1% on shelf life and quality attributes of mango cvs Dashehari and Amrapali was investigated. Pre harvest spray was carried out on fully grown mango trees prior to one month of harvesting following second subsequent spray, 15 days after of first one. Full ripe fruits of both the cultivars were packed in brown papers bags after washing and surface air drying and stored under ambient condition (36 ± 20C at 75 ± 3% RH).

Probiotics are a group of microorganisms that when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host. They build up health effects by number of ways viz. improving immune function, enhancing proper digestion, fighting against pathogens etc. Various species are proved to possess probiotic properties. Most important is that the selected probiotic strain must be able to survive in human gut, as the gut offers a difficult environment. In the present study, lactic acid bacteria was isolated from curd and its probiotic potentials were evaluated.

The development of fruits without fertilization is known as parthenocarpy. Parthenocarpy improves the fruit quality, processing attributes, production and productivity of vegetable crops like tomato, cucumber, watermelon etc. Absence of seeds can enhances the shelf life of the fruits, allowing a better conservation, fruit set in adverse climatic conditions, early and offseason production of vegetable crops. Therefore, it is important to ensure yield stability regardless of environmental conditions.

The Western hills of Manipur, India are inhabited by tribal people mostly of Zeliangrong tribe and to some extent by Kuki tribe. They had been living in an isolated society with its own socio-cultural pattern and tradition. The seasonal food produce were processed to enhance nutritive value, flavour and above all shelf life to consume in the lean season. The most common method of processing is sun drying and natural fermentation and boiling in the plain water. Lack of or conscious efforts to limit salt uses were evident during the survey.
