Abstract: In this project I used different food wrappings to determine which wrapping will keep refrigerated apple slices the freshest. I cut 15 apple slices, and I had four different food wrappings. I wrapped three apple slices in each wrapping. I made sure each apple slice was separate from the other. I left three apple slices unwrapped to see how they reacted to not being covered. I predicted that the aluminum foil would protect and keep the apple slices the freshest. Introduction Hypothesis: If I use aluminum foil to cover my apple slices, then it will keep my apple slices fresher than the other food wrappings. Research: Have you ever cut an apple and later went back to see that the apple began to turn brown? This chemical process is called oxidation. Oxidation happens when oxygen interacts with another substance. When the apple is cut, oxygen reacts with certain proteins called enzymes. These interactions lead to several other interactions in the apple, causing the apple to turn brown. When an apple begins to turn brown, it begins to look unappealing and distasteful. Sometimes when an apple turns brown, it begins to desiccate. The process of desiccation happens when something loses water. The skin of an apple retains liquid and keeps it inside of the apple. When an apple is cut open, the skin can no longer kept liquid inside of the apple. Water and moisture is slowly stripped from the apple, causing it to turn brown. Apples are the most common fruit to turn brown…

was determined by Folin–Ciocalteu method Earlier, the total phenolic content in plum fruits which was reported ranged from 0.42–4.13 mg GAE g–1 f.f. (Jasmina et al., 2014) Uzelac reported data regarding the phenol content in blackthorn (Prunus spinosa L.) fruits. The content of total flavonoids in the investigated extracts of the plant fruit is low 7.1.6 FRAGARIA Scientific classification Family rosaceae Genus Fragaria Fragaria vesca (wild strawberry) belongs to the Rosaceae family.…

Among angiosperms, Rosaceae consists of approximately 100 genera and 3000 species including several types of fruits with economic importance and health benefits. Rosaceae is divided into 4 subfamilies with basic chromosome numbers of x = 7 (Rosoideae), 8 (Prunoideae) and 9 (Spiraeoideae), x = 17 (Maloideae). The taxonomy of the genus Prunus is controversial because of the polymorphism and wide ecological tolerance of the species, as well as the presence of numerous cultivars. Prunus is the…

Weeping Willow Tree consisted of inflorescence flowers. Looking closely we were able to see that they were already drying up. Also an interesting fact about this tree is that the flowers bloomed first and now at this time it’s starting to leaf. The Weeping Cherry Tree that we analyzed had a birds nest in it that we assumed was there since last year. The appearance of this tree is very similar to the Weeping Willow Tree. However, a valuable fact that we learned is that the trunk on the top of…
