Blanching, processing time and sodium metabisulphite （Na2S205） salt concentration all had variable effects on the vitamin C, microbial quality and sensory characteristics of the canned green peppers. Significant （P 〈 0.05） interactions were noted between all the factors with high regression coefficients （78.7%-97.0%）. Increasing processing time caused significant decreases in vitamin C and microbial load of the product. However, salt concentration had only marginal and insignificant effect on the vitamin C content of the canned product. Sensory evaluation on the product showed that both the pre-processing conditions and of blanching and salt concentrations, and the processing time had varied effects on the color and hardness of the products. Hardness of the canned products generally decreased with increasing processing time and blanching time, while only minimal and insignificant effects were noted with blanching time. Increasing blanching time caused significant increasing retention of the dark green color of the peppers with only slight but insignificant increases noted with processing time, while increases in salt concentration consistently reduced the dark green color of the products. The optimum pre-processing and processing conditions that yielded products with high preference and consumer-acceptability were： blanching time of 0 min, processing time of 10 min and sodium metabisulphite concentration of 0.2%.展开更多

The influence of bacteria causing the deterioration of concrete has been linked to the generation of biogenic sulphuric and nitric acids which originate in corrosion process by dissolution of calcium containing minerals from the concrete matrices. This paper primarily focuses on the investigation of influence of sulphur-oxidising bacteria Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and sulphate-reducing bacteria Desulfovibrio desulfuricans at the resistance degree of cement composites. Various concrete composites with 5% addition of black coal fly ash as cement replacement as well as the reference samples without coal fly ash addition were studied in the experiments environments of sewage system proceeded during 90 days. The The laboratory experiments as well as experiments in situ in real corrosion was manifested by surface changes and weight changes of cement composites samples as well as changes in pH values of leachates. Considerable surface changes were detected in all investigated samples by microscopic methods. Crystals precipitated on concrete samples surface were identified by EDX as mixture of gypsum and ettringite. The roughness increases of surface of cement microscopy. composites were determined by confocal laser scanning展开更多
