in this investigation some chemical and morphological properties of dog rose fruit in 10 regions of north iran were measured. results showed significant difference between traits in studied regions. beta-carotene ranged between 0.05 – 0.323 (mg/g fw). total soluble carbohydrate varied from 5.9 – 23.3%. the highest content of total anthocyanin 23.7 and the lowest was 7.71(mg/l cyanidin-3-glucosi...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Most Koreans consume nearly 70-80% of the total sodium through their dishes. The use of a salinometer to measure salinity is recommended to help individuals control their sodium intake. The purpose of this study was to compare sodium content through chemical analysis and salinity measurement in foods served by industry foodservice operations and homemade meals. MATERIALS...

in this study, we investigate the potential of moricandia arvensis methanol leaf extract (meohl) on calpain activity, melanin biosynthesis and dna mutagenicity. cytotoxic effect and measurement of reactive oxygen species (ros) induced by lucigenin in colorectal cells (be) were also determined. in addition the chemical analysis of the extract was also studied and the chemical profile illustrates...
