introduction: conventional technology of sugar production from sugar beet roots consists of the next subsequent steps: sugar beet slicing, thermal denaturation of the sliced beet roots followed by diffusion in hot water at 70–75 _c, purification of extracted juice by lime, concentration of purified juice and crystallization. the diffusion process is one of the most important steps that effect o...

study of magnetic field and seed hydropriming effects on tomato seed germination was done in laboratory of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experiment was as factorial experiment based on randomized completely design, which was including two level of hydropriming (use of dry seed and soaked seed in distilled water for five hours) and eight level of magnetic field (pretreatment of seeds...

The protective effect of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) against cigarette smoke (CS) induced alterations in human erythrocyte was studied using an in vitro model. Hemolysis, carboxyhemoglobin, osmotic fragility, hemin, lipid peroxidation (LPO), protein thiol, protein carbonyl, glutathione, antioxidant enzymes, membrane bound ATPases and erythrocyte ghost protein were assessed to investigate ...

sour cherry is one of the most important horticultural products in iran that consumes as fresh and dried fruit. in this research the effect of osmotic pretreatment on physicochemical, antioxiative and microbial characteristics of 4 cultivars of sour cherry: early jibilium, butermo, sigany and local were investigated. the samples were placed in different osmotic solution, dried and vacuum packed...

Mutation induction is considered as an effective way to enrich plant genetic variation, particularly for traits with a very low level of genetic variation. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of different dosages of chemical mutagens on seed germination, seed viability and seedling growth characteristics and to identify optimum treatment conditions for chemical mutagens bas...
