Many seaweed species have a high production potential and attract interest as future protein sources. A fiber ash content, however, demand extraction of the to improve its digestibility utilization in food or feed. This study explores three different approaches for from Ulva fenestrata order maximize yield. Soluble was recovered either by mechanical pressing homogenization osmotic shock biomass...

the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ensiling pistachio by-product (pbp) on nutrient value, some physical and chemical parameters. fresh pbp was ensiled into a trench silo for three months and simultaneously amount of pbp was dried in front of the sun. chemical composition, buffering capacity, water holding capacity, protein fractionation according to cornell net carboh...

Cataract is clouding of the eye lens that reduces the amount of incoming light and results in deteriorating vision. Blindness is thought to reach 75 million by 2020. Of these, unoperated cataract may be expected to account for at least 35 million. Thus, the burden of cataract is increasing remorselessly. Embelica officinalis is reported to have a very good antioxidant property and thus we hypot...

It has been previously demonstrated, utilizing intraspecific introgression lines, that Lycopersicum Invertase5 (LIN5), which encodes a cell wall invertase, controls total soluble solids content in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). The physiological role of this protein, however, has not yet been directly studied, since evaluation of data obtained from the introgression lines is complicated by the ...

quality and flesh colour characteristics of blood oranges following harvest is related to and dependent upon temperature and storage conditions. to investigate the effects of different temperatures (8, 15 and 22ºc) and different storage period (0, 25, 50 and 75 days) on total soluble solids, titrable acidity, ph, ascorbic acid, total phenolic contents, antioxidant capacity, anthocyanin level, a...

this study was done to evaluate the effect of different planting arrangements (square, lozenge and rectangular) and various concentrations of potassium sulfate (k2so4) fertilizer (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) on yield and essential oils quantitative of calendula officinalis l., a medicinal and ornamental plant. the experiment was done as a factorial in randomized completely blocks design (r.c.b.d...

Growth rate, soluble-protein content, oxygen consumption, ammonia excretion, and digestive-enzyme activity were studied in Litopenaeus setiferus early postlarvae under four feeding regimens that included combinations of freshly hatched Artemia nauplii, microparticulate commercial diet, and algae. Growth and of postlarvae fed a mixed diet were significantly higher. Artificial diet used alone cau...

the abscission of alstroemeria petals is the serious problem at the industry of cut flowers of this plant. in this study, cut alstroemeria cv. bridal flowers were pulsed with solutions containing natural essential oil carvacrol, gibberellic acid and benzyladenine (50 and 100 mg l-1), -5-sulfosalicylic acid (1 and 1.5 mm) and sucrose (5 and 10%) for 24 hours. the distilled water was used as cont...

The present paper reports basic data on DNA content, protein content, and protein synthesis in Trituruspyrrhogaster embryos during development from cleavage to the hatching stage. Except for measurements of DNA and total protein contents, embryos were labeled with sodium carbonate-C for 10 h and fractionated into embryonic cell components, i.e. cytoplasmic mass, yolk and pigment granules, and n...
