The effect of processing on the biochemical contents of Acanthus montanus leaves was investigated. The moisture, crude protein, lipid, fiber, ash, and total carbohydrate contents of the raw vegetable were 59.15, 1.85, 2.32, 3.76, 2.04, and 34.65 g/100 g, respectively. The saponin, alkaloid, tannin, flavonoid, phenol, and anthocyanin contents of the raw vegetable were 5.35, 4.04, 1.10, 3.53, 2.8...

in the current research, salicylic acid and putrescine treatments solutions each with 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mm/l levels were sprayed on the ‘granny smith’ apple trees in three preharvest stages. the treatments were applied based on factorial experiment in the randomized complete block design. weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta), ph, tss/ta, peel color, an...

Raspberry leaf blotch emaravirus (RLBV) has become established in many Serbian raspberry orchards as the most prevalent virus of raspberries country. The aim this study was to evaluate impact RLBV on red ?Willamette? variety. A trial conducted four located Western Serbia. Fruits from RLBVinfected and uninfected canes were analyzed for fruit size (fruit length, width, height, shape, weight), sol...

The postharvest treatments included control, low temperatures (14 and 18°C) and plastic bags with or without perforations. Changes in different physico-chemical characteristics of fruits were studied during storage. The two factor experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with three replications of 10 fruits. Among the physico-chemical parameters, colour, firmness, total weight lo...

abstract: edible coatings made from whey protein concentrate (wpc) and gellan gum (g) were investigated for their capacity to preserve the quality of malus domestica cv golab apples. wpc and gellan gum coatings at different concentrations plasticized with glycerol (gly) were tested. postharvest storage quality condition testes included weight loss, color and texture changes, titratable acidity ...

The gastroprotective effect of the hexane extract of the leaves of Sesamum indicum (HESI) was investigated in twenty-eight male rabbits. Gastroprotective activity against necrotizing agent induced ulceration was studied. Gastric wall mucus was determined by standard methods. Anti-secretory activity was determined in twelve pyloric-ligated rabbits. Phytochemical and acute toxicity tests were per...

Wild-growing edible flora should be investigated to improve human food sustainability and security. Portulacaria afra (spekboom) is an undervalued succulent plant that thrives in harsh conditions Southern Africa. This study determined whether the indigenous spekboom can harnessed as a sustainable, nutritious source ingredient. Physicochemical nutritional analyses were conducted on fresh process...

In this study, two packaging materials, modified polypropylene (MPP) and polyethylene terephthalate/aluminum/ low-density (PETFA-Al-LDPE) were studied under various atmospheric conditions: 100 % CO2, 70 N2 - 30 80 20 CO2 for packing probiotic ultrafiltered (UF) white brined cheese. pH, titratable acidity, moisture content, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei viability overall acceptability monitored w...
