Bacteriological Quality of Locally Prepared Fresh Fruit Juice Sold in Juice Houses of Eastern Ethiopia
CONCLUSION: In general, majority of fruit juice samples were contaminated with one or more different bacteria species higher than the maximum permitted level. Furthermore, the study found the association between bacterial contamination and other variables such as hygienic and safety conditions. Therefore, the implementation of adequate hygiene and safety practices is very important to prevent the consumption of contaminated fruit juices, which leads to foodborne illness.PMID:35095274 | PMC:PMC8793386 | DOI:10.1177/11786302211072949 (Source: Environmental Health Insights)

Molecules, Vol. 27, Pages 910: Physicochemical, Structural, Thermal and Rheological Properties of Flour and Starch Isolated from Avocado Seeds of Landrace and Hass Cultivars
The objective of this study was to obtain and characterize flours and starches from the avocado seeds of Hass and landrace cultivars. The morphological, physical-chemical, structural, thermal and rheological characteristics were evaluated. The flour yield of the Hass and landrace cultivars was 41.56 to 46.86% (w/w), while for starch, it was 35.47 to 39.57% (w/w) (cv. Hass and landrace, respectively). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the presence of oval starch granules and other particles in flour, in contrast to flours, starches showed lower ash, proteins and lipids content. However, the amylose content was hig...

Adaptation of a filter paper method for RNA template preparation for the detection of avocado sunblotch viroid by reverse transcription qPCR
J Virol Methods. 2022 Jan 6;301:114455. doi: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2022.114455. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAn easy, rapid and inexpensive method of preparing RNA template for a reverse transcription qPCR assay for avocado sunblotch viroid (ASBVd) is described. This method depends on the principle of reversible binding of viroid RNA to filter paper under different concentrations of monovalent cation. Lysis buffers containing either sodium chloride or lithium chloride were compared, and 1.5 M lithium chloride was shown to be optimal for the adsorption of the viroid RNA to the filter paper. The extraction method was validated...

Comparative pyrolysis studies of lignocellulosic biomasses: online gas quantification, kinetics triplets, and thermodynamic parameters of the process
This study focused on the analysis of the pyrolytic behavior of four lignocellulosic biomasses: avocado stone (AS), agave Salmiana bagasse (AB), cocoa shell (CS), and α-cellulose (CEL). According to the triplet kinetics analysis, the order of pyrolytic decomposition was AS < AB < CEL < CS. The AS was dominated by a second-order reaction, while AB followed a 2D diffusion-Valensi model. On the other hand, the pyrolysis of CS starts with an nth-order reaction and ends random nucleation model, and CEL was dominated by one-dimensional diffusion and first-order reaction. Thermodynamic studies reveal that the difference...
