Life in fresh water

The main problem of fresh-cut lettuce is browning at the cut surface and microbial contamination, which results in short shelf life. The effect of sodium chlorite (SC) on browning reduction and microbial growth on fresh-cut ‘Green oak’ lettuce salad was investigated. Green oak lettuce was washed with tap water before cutting into 3 cm of length.

Fresh water is a resource that is limited and vulnerable while essential for our daily life. It is necessary to have different stakeholders participating in water management, in which water users community plays an important role. However, it can be difficult to recruit local community to participate if their motivations are not known.

The use of ozone for the sanitization of fresh-cut produce has been postulated during all steps of the cold chain from harvest to consumption. However, little is known about its effects on the postharvest quality of minimally processed spinach. In the present study, the effects of different doses of ozone on the storage life and quality of minimally processed spinach were determined and compared with sodium hypochlorite.

In this study, plums were coated with lac based (2:3), SemperfreshTM (1:3), vegetable wax (1:5) and water dip (control) just after harvest on field as on-farm treatment and after transportation to the lab as off-farm treatment. After coating, the fruits were packed in punnets and stored under cold storage conditions (2 ± 1°C) at 90–92% relative humidity.

With the exploding human population, India will have to utilise all its avenues for increasing its food production. Fishes form an important element in the economy of many nations as they form a staple item in the diet of many people Most of the water bodies which form the major life support systems of many organisms are facing ecological degradation today due to irrational interference and unsustainable developments. As fish constitute almost half of the total number of vertebrates, it is very important that their diversity is preserved.

An investigation was carried out to study the effect of different holding solution combinations on vase life of cut carnation cv. Kiro. The flowers were kept under common holding solution (sucrose 4% + 8-HQS 200 ppm) along with GA3 at 25 ppm recorded significantly highest water uptake on 6 th day (33.83 g flower-1 ) the highest transpirational loss of water (32.16 g flower-1 ) and highest fresh weight change of flower (152.38 g flower-1 ) which have extended the vase life period of carnation flower cv. Kiro.

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of postharvest dip treatments on decay index of mango fruits cv. Alphonso. Freshly harvested and pre-cooled Alphonso mango fruits were treated with different post-harvest dip treatments and evaluated for the parameters like total soluble solids, decay index and visual skin colour change. Among different treatments, minimum TSS (15.60°B) was noted in hot water treated fruits, lower decay index (0.89%) and higher score for visual skin colour (8.

Prevailing high temperature during harvesting to consumption of grapes in India results in accelerated water loss, faster respiration, physiological weight loss, rachis browning, berry shattering, poor shelf life and finally leads to significant post-harvest losses. Fruit surface is protected by the application of coating to maintain its freshness and shelf life for longer duration.

Canada is the child of the sea. Her infancy was cradled by her waterways; and the life-blood of her youth was drawn from oceans, lakes, and rivers. No other land of equal area has ever been so intimately bound up with the changing fortunes of all its different waters, coast and inland, salt and fresh. The St Lawrence basin by itself is a thing to marvel at, for its mere stupendous size alone. Its mouth and estuary are both so vast that their salt waters far exceed those of all other river systems put together. Its tide runs farther in from the Atlantic than any...

There is an estimated 1.4 billion km3 of water in the world but only approximately three percent (39 million km³) of it is available as fresh water. Moreover, most of this fresh water is found as ice in the arctic regions, deep groundwater or atmospheric water. Since water is the source of life and essential for all life on the planet, the use of this resource is a highly important issue. 'Water management' is the general term used to describe all the activities that manage the optimum use of the world’s water resources....
