Variability in antioxidant activity and phenolic profile in different parts of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is largely consumed in Iran as an oleaginous and confectionery product. In this study, the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, antioxidant activity and phenolic composition in different parts of the seeds from six sunflower genotypes were investigated. The antioxidant activity of extract was evaluated by different assays. The total phenolic and flavonoid cont...

The Use of Sunflower Meal in Livestock Diets in Australia

Introduction Sunflower (Helianthus annus) seeds and byproduct meals are of importance in some parts of the world because they provide a source of high-oil protein material for livestock diets. The major sunflower producing areas of the world today are Argentina, China, Eastern Europe, and the United States. Although Australia produces only relatively small amounts of sunflower meal (Table 1), i...

The effect of biofertilizers, nitrogen fertilizer and farmyard manure on grain yield and seed quality of sunflower (Helianthus annus L.)

Experiment was conducted during 2007 growing seasons at the Field of College of Agriculture, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran Province, Iran to study the effect of biofertilizers (Azosporillum and Azotobacter), nitrogen fertilizer (N) and farmyard manure (FYM) in various rates on the grain and biological yield, seed protein content as well as seed oil content and fatty acid composition in sun...
