in this study, response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum raw sugar beet juice purification process conditions using bentonite to produce inverted liquid sugar. for this purpose, impact of factors on the purification process such as bentonite concentration (1-5 gr/li), ph (3.5-6) and temperature (35-95 ˚c) was investigated. for each response, a second-order polynomial model ...

to evaluate the effects of methanol and drought stress on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, chlorophyll and relative water content in sugar beet, a study was conducted in 2008 in maahdasht (karaj, iran). aqueous solutions of 0 (control), 7, 14, 21, 28, 35% (v/v) methanol with each solution containing 0.2% glycine and a second factor, namely drought stress (irrigation after 70% depletion of a...

in order to study the effect of solitary and combined application of two types of green manure, cow manure, barvar-2 phosphate fertilizer and conventional chemical fertilizer on some of the qualitative and quantitativeproperties of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2013. the experimental design was randomized in a complete block design with...

in order to identify and selection salt tolerant hybrids based on tolerance indices, 17 sugar beet three-way cross hybrids produced by crosses between 17 salinity improved s1 pollinators and a cytoplasmic male sterile (cms) single cross as female, along with three control genotypes were grown in 2007 in rudasht station (isfahan) under saline (12 ds/m and 8 ds/m for water and soil) and non-salin...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of variable nitrogen supply on yield parameters of two sugar beet varieties, as well as on biomass allocation to different parts of sugar beet plant at safi-abad agric. res. center during 2003-4 and 2004-5. five nitrogen rates (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kgha-1) and two monogerm sugar beet varieties (shirin and rasol) arranged as factorial in a rand...

the sugar beet weevil, lixus incanescens boh., is an important insect pest of sugar beet, beta vulgaris l., in razavi khorasan province. in this research, population densities of the sugar beet weevil eggs and larvae were evaluated on plants of six sugar beet cultivars including ardabili, aras, persia, flores, laetitia and rosire in an experimental field in 2011 and 2012. also, the percentage o...

in order to study the effects of different irrigation system and different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and quality of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at ekbatan research station, hamedan during 2005-2006 as split plot based on randomized complete block design  with three replications. the main plots were irrigation systems (furrow, sprinkler and drip irrigation) and subplots...

this paper reports on the use of artificial neural networks (ann) and partial least squareregression (pls) combined with nir spectroscopy (900-1700 nm) to design calibration models for thedetermination of sugar content in sugar beet. in this study a total of 80 samples were used as the calibration set,whereas 40 samples were used for prediction. three pre-processing methods, including multiplic...

The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between sugars and vitamin C in fruit. The objective was to determine whether vitamin C content was regulated by sugar content due to the role of sugar as a precursor for vitamin C. During summer, maximal content in sugar and vitamin C were found in both genotypes tested Solanum lycopersicon 'Cervil' and 'Levovil'. During autumn, fruit pruning...
