The physicochemical characteristics and aroma components of the fruits may differ significantly depending on ecology in which they are grown. In this study cherries grown different locations Turkey were characterized their properties compared according to 0900 Ziraat variety Akşehir district Konya province, Kemalpaşa İzmir Salihli Manisa Yeşilyurt Malatya Uluborlu Isparta province used study. t...

Heavy metals are elements that very harmful to human and environmental health. metal concentration in the fruits grown city centers can reach high levels consuming these as food causes a direct intake of heavy metals, which contain, into body pose significant health risk. All compounds barium (Ba), is one most dangerous toxic. Thus, determining Ba plants, areas with pollution consumed food, imp...

Sour cherry cv. Marasca is Dalmatian cultivar from XVI century. Cultivation is limited on the north and central part of Dalmatia and on the part of the islands, where it achieves the best quality of fruit, high content of dry matter and sugar respectively, agreeable aroma and intense color. Sour cherry cv. Marasca is source of biologically active ingredients, organic and inorganic compounds, di...

Photosynthesis is the basic process influencing crop productivity. It can be inhibited by drought. Seven sour cherry genotypes were challenged by drought to assess their photosynthetic efficiency in such conditions. All together with relative water content (RWC) as indicator of plant water status, maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (Fv/Fm) and chlorophyll content (Chl a+b) differentiated i...

In the recent years many studies on anthocyanins have revealed their strong antioxidant activity and their possible use as chemotherapeutics. The finding that sour cherries (Prunus cerasus L) (also called tart cherries) contain high levels of anthocyanins that possess strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties has attracted much attention to this species. Here we report the preliminary...

The transition from self-incompatibility (SI) to self-compatibility (SC) is regarded as one of the most prevalent transitions in Angiosperm evolution, having profound impacts on the genetic structure of populations. Yet, the identity and function of mutations that result in the breakdown of SI in nature are not well understood. This work provides the first detailed genetic description of the br...

The effects of kernel extract obtained from sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) seed on the postischemic cardiac recovery were studied in isolated working rat hearts. Rats were treated with various daily doses of the extract for 14 days, and hearts were then isolated and subjected to 30 min of global ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. The incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and tachyc...

Mevcut çalışmada yağı ve proteini alınmış vişne (Prunus cerasus L.) çekirdeklerinden elde edilen pektinin (VÇP) soya fasulyesi orijinli doğal hidrojellerin üretiminde destekleyici materyal olarak kullanımı amaçlanmıştır. Pektin tozlarının üretim aşaması Fourier dönüşümlü kızılötesi (FTIR) spektroskopisi ile doğrulanmıştır. Ayrıca VÇP’nin fizikokimyasal fonksiyonel özellikleri ticari pektin (TP)...
