Abstract

Background: The use of limes is increasingly widespread worldwide, both as fresh fruit for consumption and for making juice or other drinks. Lime is also used in making jams and candies. The essential oil obtained from the skin is widely used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for medicines, perfumes, soaps, body lotions, and detergents. However, during fruit storage, the respiration and metabolic activity in lime fruits is directly related to the increase in ambient temperature, which makes the fruit dry out. Improving the shelf life of lime against post-harvest stress while maintaining the sensory and nutritional qualities of fresh produce can be achieved through low-temperature storage and the use of packaging. This study aims to improve the quality of lime by knowing the difference between the provision of packaging and not-given packaging combined with different storage temperatures. Method: The experimental design used a single-factor completely randomized design with storage type treatment, which includes room temperature without packaging (control), room temperature with packaging, low temperature without packaging, and low temperature with packaging. Observations of non-destructive characteristics include weight loss, respiration rate, and fruit peel color. Observations of destructive characteristics include juice content, fruit peel softness, Soluble Solid Contents (SSC), Total Acidity (TA), SSC/TA ratio, and ascorbic acid content. Findings: Low temperature treatment without packaging provides the best results in delaying weight loss, respiration rate, and SSC/TA ratio. The control treatment provided the best results for peel softness, juice content, and ascorbic acid. Conclusion: Low temperature treatment without packaging is recommended for the storage of lime fruit to extend its shelf life. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study examines the combined effects of low temperature and newspaper packaging on extending the shelf life of lime fruits, addressing a significant gap in postharvest storage research for non-climacteric fruits such as lime.

Abstract

Listening comprehension is a key component of language proficiency and plays a vital role in academic and everyday communication. However, many students struggle with this skill due to a lack of exposure to authentic language input and engaging materials. The integration of audio-visual (AV) media into language instruction has gained popularity as an effective means to support listening comprehension. This article explores the role of AV media in improving students' listening comprehension based on a review of 25 SINTA-accredited journal articles from the last five years. It discusses theoretical frameworks, types of AV media, pedagogical benefits, implementation strategies, challenges, and practical implications for language teaching.

Abstract

Abiu fruit harvested at the fully-ripe stage typically exhibits a shorter shelf life compared to those harvested at the half-ripe stage. Despite the longer shelf life, those at the half-ripe stage are more susceptible to shriveling during storage, particularly on the green part. This study aims to mitigate shriveling and enhance the postharvest quality of abiu fruit through ethylene application. The treatments consisted of 2 ethylene application methods (1-second dip and 60-second soak) and 4 concentrations [control (0 ppm), 100, 200, and 400 ppm]. The fruit was stored at room temperature (26 ± 2°C and RH 82 ± 2%) after ethylene application. The results showed that the soak application can reduce shriveling by 31% and extending the shelf life by up to 2 days. Decreasing of shriveling incidence also found in the 100, 200, and 400 ppm ethylene concentration by 29%, 52%, and 52%, respectively which lead to extend the shelf life up to 4 days. The soaking method and 100 ppm ethylene concentration were the most effective among all treatments, which were able to reduce shriveling by up to 63% and extend the shelf life of abiu fruit by up to 4 days.
