In this research, effect of bee pollen supplement on antimicrobial, chemical, rheological, sensorial properties and probiotic viability of fermented milk beverages was studied. Bee pollens were added in the rate of 2.5 mg·mL-1 (B), 5 mg·mL-1 (C), 7.5 mg·mL-1 (D), 10 mg·mL-1 (E), and 20 mg·mL-1 (F). Control sample (A) was not supplemented with bee pollen. Control and supplemented milk samples we...

`Kent' mango (Mangifera indica L.) ̄owers were sampled in an orchard in the coastal plain of Israel during the 1997 ̄owering season. Effective pollination rate was determined at two stages of the fertilization process: (a) pollen germination on the stigma; (b) pollen-tube penetration into the ovule. Pollination rates were negligible during the ®rst part of the ̄owering season (31 March to 18 Ap...
