in this study, the antimicrobial effect of sea cucumber extract (0.5, 1 and 2%) on the microbial population of rainbow trout fillets during refrigerated storage was examined. fillets were stored for 16 days and every 4 days microbial tests (including total bacterial load, pseudomonas, enterobacteriaceae and h2s producing bacteria) were performed on the samples. results showed that there was no ...

Dysaster cajamarcensis is a spreading broad-leaved shrub named as a new genus and species of the tribe Astereae subtribe Hinterhuberinae collected in northern Peru. It has bisexual disc florets, disc style branches with strong stigmatic lines and hairy appendages, compressed achenes in both ray and disc florets, and papyraceous involucral bracts.

Graphene oxide-wrapped amorphous copper vanadium oxide is fabricated through a template-engaged redox reaction followed by vacuum dehydration. This material exhibits high reversible capacity, excellent rate capability, and out standing high-rate cyclability. The outstanding performance is attributed to the fast capacitive charge storage and the in situ formed copper with enhanced electrical con...

Beer is a popular fermented beverage made, basically, by water, malted cereals, yeasts, and hops. However, the actual market demands innovative beers with new nutritional organoleptic properties, achieved, for instance, addition of functional ingredients. In this hallmark, objective work was to elaborate beer enriched broccoli florets as source bioactive compounds, potentially contributing huma...

Nectar-related traits influence the number of bee visits to sunflowers, but effects floret size on diversity and composition communities are unknown. In 4 year × planting date combinations, bees were collected from sunflowers with small (< 7.5 mm), medium (7.5–9 or large (> 9 mm) florets, counts foraging used clarify responses plant traits. No effect was found, associations tongue length led di...
