DRAFT I Name: Bui Kim Thuy & Nguyen Thi Lan Huong Organization: Vietnam Institute of Agricultural Engineering & Postharvest Technology (VIAEP), MARD Work responsibilities: Researchers Title of project: Control of diseases and physiological disorder in fresh-cut fruits using phenyllactic acid bio-compound Objective: Prolong the shelf-life of fresh-cut fruits (orange, pineapple) towards higher food quality and hygiene, increase of economic values and living standard Fresh-cut fruits Consumption with double digit growth + Demand for diversified forms of fruits + Most fruit is consumed at home = Great opportunity for FRESH-CUT FRUIT Phenyllactic acid (PLA) C6H5CH2CHOH==COOH A novel antimicrobial compound with broad inhibitory activity, higher stability and safety Gram(+) and gram(-) bacteria. Fungi (mycotoxigenic species) Anti-oxidant property Practical application as a novel bio-preservative in the food industry. Intl. research on PLA: quite new (1998-2008) ACTION PLAN Expected Outputs Progress Indicators 1. Decay Optimal Reduction phenyllactic acid (PLA) conc. inhibiting the development of pathogenic microbial organisms Decay rate Activities Duration Inputs/R esource s Budget (USD) Determine 3 month the optimal PLA conc. on: - Bacteria: E.coli, Staphylococc us - Fungi/ molds: Aspergillus Penicillium Finance from the State project 1000 - Bui Kim Thuy - Nguyen Thi Lan Huong - Colleges in VIAEP Evaluate the rate of samples was spoiled Finance from the State project 1000 - Bui Kim Thuy - Nguyen Thi Lan Huong - Colleges in VIAEP 3 month Responsible Persons ACTION PLAN (Con’t.) Expected Outputs Progress Indicator s Activities Duration Resource s Budget (USD) 2. Decrease Physiol. changes Browing inhibition Measure Polyphenol oxydase activity by SM Nutritional factors of fresh-cut produce Evaluate the changes in room and cool temperature: - Vitamin C - Ethanol - Sensory quality: smell, taste, color,etc. Responsible Persons 3 months* Finance from the State project 1500 - Bui Kim Thuy - Nguyen Thi Lan Huong - Colleges 3 months* Finance from the State project 2000 - Bui Kim Thuy - Nguyen Thi Lan Huong - Colleges THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
