The research was conducted during two seasons 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, at the Scientific Research Center in Lattakia-Syria, where cross between Sour orange, Cleopatra mandarin Trifoliate orange. first season (Sour orange ♂ × ♀) (Cleopatra sour (sour trifoliate ♀), crossing second (Trifoliate ♀). plants of generation F1 were exposed to calcareous stress according methods. one for a long term (tw...

Three cultivars of citrus with different sensitivities to freezing temperatures (citron, Citrus medica L.; rough lemon, C. limon Burm. F; sour orange, C. aurantium L.) were cold hardened for 4 weeks. Lipids from leaves of hardened and control seedlings were fractionated and analyzed for fatty acids. The absolute amount of triglycerides and phospholipids increased in the leaves upon hardening. W...

Response surface methodology was applied for optimization of the sour cherry Marasca juice spray drying process with 20, 30 and 40% of carriers maltodextrin with dextrose equivalent (DE) value of 4-7 and 13-17 and gum arabic, at three drying temperatures: 150, 175 and 200 °C. Increase in carrier mass per volume ratio resulted in lower moisture content and powder hygroscopicity, higher bulk dens...

Drying kinetics of sour cheery is investigated in solar dryer with forced convection and under open Sun with natural convection. Drying data were fitted to different mathematical models, whose performance was investigated by comparing coefficient (R), reduced chi-square (Ç) and root mean square error (RMSE) between the observed and predicted moisture ratios. Among these models, drying model dev...

Among the diverse assortment of dairy products, sour cream occupies a leading position in terms production. Despite current economic situation, production increased by 3.4% compared to previous year. The lack raw milk, as well demand for healthy food products have led creation new group which are supplemented with non-dairy ingredients - fortifiers. Due components plant origin, it is possible a...
