Physical and chemical parameters of fresh berries from three southern highbush (‘O’Neal’, ‘Sharpblue’ and ‘Misty’) blueberry cultivars grown in Huelva (Southwestern Spain) under two production systems were measured and evaluated. ANOVA applied to data yielded significant differences between production systems for mean fruit size and mean fruit fresh weight (P<0.05), although main effects on phy...

The purpose of this paper is to list and discuss briefly some of the causes of chemical and physico-chemical disintegration of concrete and to point out some methods that can be used to study these causes. In this paper a distinction is made between physico-chemical (or chemico-physical) and mechanical causes of failure. Processes involving changes in chemical composition (chemical reactions pr...

Useful medicinal and chemical properties of different parts of Eriobotrya Japonica seeds including flowers, fruits, and leaves have been investigated. In this study, fat content, moisture, unsaponifiable matter, saponification and iodine values, free fatty acid compound, individual sterols, antioxidant activity, total phenol, tannin, and flavonoids content, and detection and quantification of p...

This research was conducted to study and classify the physico-chemicalproperties of soil, yield components of wheat and to determine the significance ofthese parameters on the grain yield formation. In this research, seven statisticalmethods consisting of simple correlation analysis (SCA), multiple linear regression(MLR), stepwise regression (SR), factor analysis (FA), principal componentanalys...

The objective of this paper deal with the physico chemical aspects of certain colouring plants namely. Bixa orellana Linn. (Leaves) and Lawsonia inermis Linn (Leaves). The determined data under the physico chemical, chromatographic and spectrophotometric studies can be taken as a pharmacopoeial standards.

Tannery wastewater is heavily polluted containing appreciable biodegradable matters as well as inorganic substances like chromium, sulphide, chloride etc. Thus the composite tannery wastewater appears to be incompatible for direct biological treatment .Wastewater emanated from various sub-processes of tannery operation showed variable characteristics and also differential treatability. The pres...

Present work focused on the seasonal variations in the physico-chemical parameters of the freshwater temple pondPrayagtirth at Trimbakeshwar in Nashik district during summer, monsoon and winter. A total 15 parameters were analysed and their seasonal variation is discussed. The correlation matrix of the various physico-chemical parameters are computed and analysed.

The design of hybrid poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL)-self-assembling peptides (SAPs) matrices represents a simple method for the surface functionalization of synthetic scaffolds, which is essential for cell compatibility. This study investigates the influence of increasing concentrations (2.5%, 5%, 10% and 15% w/w SAP compared to PCL) of three different SAPs on the physico-chemical/mechanical and bio...

the fire as one of the ecological factor has positive or negative effects on ecosystems components. therefore, this study was evaluated the effect of fire on some soil physico-chemical properties in winter rangelands of behshahr. so that two burned sites were selected in rangelands and changed rangelands to wheat and barley with two control areas (unburned) in each of them. the soil sampling wa...

Enriched beverage prepared by supplementing pear juice with jamun pulp was assessed for antioxidant activity and quality. Jamun pulp was supplemented at the levels of 5,10,15,20 and 25 per cent and optimized on the basis of sensory evaluation and color characteristics. Sensory scores were highest for pear juice supplemented with 20 per cent jamun pulp and was further chosen for storage studies....
