The present investigation was conducted to determine the effect of PBZ and ABA on total phenol contents in different parts of Ocimum sanctum. Paclobutrazol (PBZ) a triazole fungicide, having plant growth regulator (PGR) properties, is reported to inhibit gibberellic acid biosynthesis and increase in abscisic acid and cytokinin contents. So, it necessitates the need to investigate the efficacy o...

This study aimed to determine the effect of various types tea solutions on characteristics Wong Tea. used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) 4 treatments with replications. The results showed that there were significant differences in organoleptic quality including taste, aroma, and color tea. research pH, total acid, alcohol content, soluble solid no difference. pH ranged from 3.28 - 3.35, 13.90°...

Olive oil as medicine: the effect on lipids and lipoproteins This report focuses on studies examining the effect of olive oil on blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) and lipoproteins (LDL, VLDL, and HDL). It is the first in a series of reports that summarize published studies examining the effect of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) on clinical risk factors for chronic diseases. These repor...

Olive oil extraction generates large amounts of olive mill residues (DOR) which may be used as organic fertilizer. The influence of a combination of physical fractionation and saprobe fungal incubation on the phytotoxicity of DOR was studied. The physical fractions of DOR, obtained following extraction using ethyl acetate (EDOR) and water (ADOR) were less phytotoxic than DOR with respect to the...

The Effect of Magnetization Saline Water on Shoot Biomass, Chlorophyll Content, Total Phenol and Antioxidant Activity in Meadow Sage (Salvia virgata Jacq.)

It has been established that the well-known deproteinizing action of hot 45% aqueous phenol on whole cells or isolated and purified endotoxin of Serratia marcescens 08 is caused by the cleavage of a phenol-sensitive linkage within the lipid moiety. As a result of this degradation, both the lipopolysaccharide and simple protein fragments retained a part of the lipid moiety. Although not proceedi...

Thirty samples from thirteen Sicilian monofloral honeys by the local black honeybee, and two honeydew honeys, were studied to assess phenol content, reducing power and antioxidant capacity as well as correlations among these parameters. Honeys from Apiaceae showed the highest phenol amount and capacity to reduce ferric ion and stable chemical radicals, whereas honeys from Leguminosae the lowest...

seed coat crude extracts of white-coloured ita-256, white and brown-coloured tvs-716, deep brown-coloured it-90k and light brown-coloured ife brown cowpea varieties were analyzed for the presence and amount of total phenol, tannin and flavonoid content. crude extracts of the cowpea varieties were analyzed for antioxidant activity using the thiobarbituric acid (tba) assay. the seed coat extracts...

Developing cold sweetening resistant processing varieties is one of the frontal areas of research all over the world. In India, first potato processing variety was released in the year 1998 and till 2005 three varieties have been developed. But, there is no information available regarding sugar accumulation response of Indian varieties to low temperature storage. Therefore, it is imperative to ...

This study represents the first paper of the effects of growth regulators on the physiochemical and phytochemical properties of the wax apple fruit, a widely cultivated fruit tree in southeast Asia. Net photosynthesis, sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) activity, peel color, fruit firmness, juice content, pH value, total soluble solids (TSSs), and the sugar acid ratio were all significantly incre...
