the effect of different storage temperatures on senescence and postharvest performance in cut scapes of three iris species (iris germanica, iris reticulata and iris kashmiriana) was studied with the aim to develop a cost-effective storage protocol so as to bring out the transportation of these cut flowers. the scapes were subjected to two different storage treatments-dry storage and wet storage...

This study aims to explore persistent microorganic pollutants (Poly chloro byphneyls (PCBs) and Organochlorine Pesticides (OCPs)) in sediment mud clams (Polymesoda erosa) Segara Anakan Lagoon (SAL). In addition, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) the were evaluated their risk consumption Bioaccumulation factor sediment. Concentrations of seven PCBs found range 0.11 ± 0.05 2.63 0.1 μg kg−1 ...

In this study, roots of Turkish origin wild chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) genotypes were investigated for total flavonoid and phenolic contents, radical cation scavenging activity (ABTS), Free (DPPH), radical, mineral content. These characteristics also compared with other coffee varieties. The contents ranged between 0.290-4.350 mg QE/g dry weight (DW) 0.943-13.860 GAE/g DW. DPPH was listed h...

Abstract The polyphenol distribution in fresh waxy corns of different color varieties and their functional activities, which may be useful for treating various chronic diseases, were investigated. vitro antioxidant activity, hypoglycemic hypocholesterolemic effects the free bound corn phenolics determined to evaluate edible value corn. colored contained more phenols than common (white and/or ye...

This study evaluated the influence of curing method and storage condition on the microhardness of dual-cure resin cements: Panavia F 2.0 (PF) and Nexus 2 (NX). The specimens were either light-cured (LC) or chemically cured in darkness (CC). After 24 hours of storage in dry chamber (Dry) or distilled water (DW), the specimens were sectioned and polished. The microhardness of resin cement matrix ...

African yam bean (Sphenostylis stenocarpa) is an underexploited legume with the potential of becoming an alternative food staple to alleviate the problem of food security. An assessment was carried out on the growth and yield of AYB affected by Telfairia mosaic virus (TeMV) Infection. Telfairia mosaic virus caused severe mosaic, leaf distortion and malformation on AYB. Analyses of results revea...

BACKGROUND Chronic graft nephropathy is the most frequent cause of long-term renal transplant loss. Although immunological causes participate in its pathogenesis, other non-immunological factors such as hyperfiltration due to reduced renal mass have been proposed as causal factors of chronic renal graft nephropathy. AIM This study aimed to assess the effect of weight disproportion between the...

The presented case study illustrates the possibility of adding value to biological surplus remaining from mushroom cultivation industry. In essence, unused parts were submitted UV-C irradiation, with purpose increasing vitamin D2 content and validating its extraction. Vitamin concentration in three different species (Agaricus bisporus, A. bisporus Portobello, Pleurotus ostreatus) was obtained b...

Abstract The main purpose of this study was to determine the chemical composition monofloral bee-collected pollen from coffee ( Coffea robusta ) plant and its pellet morphology. According results bee (CBP) has a high nutritional value. It contains large percentage protein, reducing sugar, lipid. Also, vitamins (B 2 E) minerals (K, Ca, P) were found in CBP. In addition, revealed that total polyp...
