many parameters affect essential oil yield and chemical composition of aromatic plants. for obtaining the highest quantity and quality of essential oil, it is necessary to know the proper methods of drying and distillation. the aim of this research was to investigate the influence of drying and extraction methods on the yield and chemical composition of the essential oil of eucalyptus sargentii...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles are characterized by their heterogeneity in composition, structure, and biological properties. In addition to the major structural protein apolipoprotein A1, HDL proteomes and lipidomes show great diversity. Such constituents presumably carry out the multitude of HDL functions, for example, reverse cholesterol transport, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, a...

In temporal-logic model checking, we verify the correctness of a program with respect to a desired behavior by checking whether a structure that models the program satis es a temporal-logic formula that speci es the behavior. The model-checking problem for the branching-time temporal logic CTL can be solved in linear running time, and model-checking tools for CTL are used successfully in indust...

The aroma and fragrance industry is a billion-dollar world market which grows annually. Essential oils comprise the majority of compounds used by these industries. These sets of metabolites are formed mainly by monoterpenes, which are products of the plants’ secondary metabolism. Biosynthesized from mevalonate and methylerythitol phosphate, the essential oil production depends not only on genet...

introduction: crude vegetable oils contain some quantities of phospholipids. the highest concentration of phospholipids is usually found in crude soybean oil. the presence of phospholipids in the crude and refined oils create undesirable effects on the quality and quantity of the oil during refining operations or use by the consumer. however, if phospholipids are extracted properly from the oil...

a lack of adequate annual chilling in temperate zone fruit growing trees, especially pistachio is a main problem observed in many areas with partly warm winters. usually this phenomenon results in disorders in vegetative and reproductive structures, decrease in production of pollen, falling of flower buds and decrease in or loss of fruit set. presently the use of some substitute chemical compou...

Increasing the area of arable oilseed land, particularly rapeseed, and the important role of potassium in yield and oil content, especially in calcareous and high pH soils, need to more knowledge about plant nutrition requirement. In this study, the effect of sources and different levels of potassium fertilizers on some quality and quantity characteristics on canola yield were assessed by combi...
