This study aimed to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on fruit sugars, organic acids, and carotenoids. The contents of sugars and organic acids in fruits were determined by HPLC. Total acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), and pH value of the juice were also evaluated. Total carotenoids and chlorophylls contents were measured using a spectrophotometer. The content of ethylene in fruits was ...

Orange press liquor is a by-product generated by the citrus processing industry containing huge amounts of natural phenolic compounds with recognized antioxidant activity. In this work, an integrated membrane process for the recovery of flavonoids from orange press liquors was investigated on a laboratory scale. The liquor was previously clarified by ultrafiltration (UF) in selected operating c...

In this work, raw municipal wastewater was electro-coagulated for the removal of total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, and particulate BOD using stainless steel electrodes. The removal efficiency of TSS and turbidity is shown to depend on the amount of iron generated from the anode of the reactive electrode used in this study, when applying the lower currents of 0.05 A and 0.1A. For such low...

The influence of carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) and guargum-based coatings containing silver nanoparticles was studied on the postharvest storage stability of the kinnow mandarin (Citrus reticulata cv. Blanco) for a period of 120 days (85%-90% relative humidity) at 4 °C and 10 °C. Physicochemical and microbiological qualities were monitored after every 15 days of storage. Overall results reveal...

In this study, some quality elements of the Horoz Karası grape variety were investigated. For purpose, cluster, berry, total soluble solids (TSS), titration acidity, pH level, berry color, phenol, and antioxidant activity determined in sample clusters taken from producer vineyards Kahramanmaraş. cultivar, (TSS) level was recorded between 16.6-25.35%, titratable acidity 0.189-0.517, 3.62 3.94. s...

Abstract The tofu industry is currently growing very rapidly both on a home scale and factory scale, in the process of making solid liquid waste are produced. Solid usually used for animal feed, while not treated. Tofu industrial contains high Total Suspended (TSS), if disposed directly into water it can pollute aquatic ecosystem. One way to reduce pollution use activated charcoal from plantain...

The treated and untreated effluents samples from semiconductor industry were collected and thier physical characteristics such as temperature, pH, turbidity, total suspended solid (TSS), conductivity and chemical characteristics such as salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), chlorine dioxide, and heavy metal were analyzed. The results obta...

Physicochemical properties of banana peel flour (BPF) were studied in two varieties (Cavendish and Dream) and two stages of ripeness (green and ripe). BPF’s were analyzed for pH, total soluble solids (TSS), water holding capacity (WHC) at 40, 60 and 80C, oil holding capacity (OHC) at 40, 60 and 80C, colour values L, a and b, back extrusion force and viscosity, and the data were analyzed using...
