The partial compositional characteristics were determined for apple juice from 175 non-commercial varieties of apples developed from scion wood collected from approximately 12 countries and several USA geographical areas. Juices from many of the varieties were high in malic acid and potassium. Mean values for many of the attributes did not match existing compositional database value means. Howe...

1897 was a big year for science. J. J. Thomson discovered the electron, which, along with other momentous advances around that time ushered in the golden half-century of modern physics. It was in 1897, too, that Eduard Buchner accidentally observed that yeast juice can convert sucrose to ethanol. This discovery disposed of a firm belief that alcoholic fermentation is a vital operation of an int...

To evaluate the effect of gypsum and manure on the yield and quality of sugarcane and properties of sodic soils, an experiment was conducted on farmer’s field at Dosehra area, District Charsadda during Kharif 2004. Ten treatments comprised of control (T1), gypsum @ 25 % of the soil requirement (T2), gypsum @ 50 % (T3), gypsum @ 75 % (T4), gypsum @ 100 % (T5), farm yard manure (FYM) @ 20 tons ha...

Wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae have to adapt their metabolism the changing conditions during biotechnological use, from aerobic growth in sucrose-rich molasses for biomass propagation anaerobic fermentation monosaccharides grape juice winemaking. Yeast molecular mechanisms that favor use preferred carbon and nitrogen sources achieve such adaptation. By using specific inhibitors, it wa...

Isotonic drinks can replace body fluids quickly because they contain electrolytes needed by the body. This study uses young coconut water as primary raw material with addition of pineapple juice to improve taste and nutritional value isotonic drinks. aimed determine characteristics adding different formulations sweeteners. used a factorial block randomized experimental design consisting two fac...

The identification of promising commercial varieties for irrigated crops in semiarid conditions based on characters interest to sugarcane agro-industries is important, considering the search high yields obtain sustainable crops. Thus, objective this work was evaluate production components agroindustrial different grown under subsurface drip irrigation Semiarid region Brazil, during two crop cyc...

In Europe, the cultivation of blood oranges for fresh consumption is increasing due to their excellent organoleptic and nutraceutical properties, which give this fruit status functional food. Blood orange has a higher content bioactive compounds, confer additional benefits human health. The main morphological qualitative parameters were studied together with primary metabolites by 1H NMR second...

Mefenamic acid (MA) is a widely used non-steroidal antiinflammatory (NSAID) drug. The adverse effects typical of NSAIDs are also present in the case of MA, partly due to its low water solubility. The aim of this study was to increase the water solubility of MA in order to influence its absorption and bioavailability. Solid dispersions of MA were prepared by the melting method using polyethylene...

introduction: citrus fruits, which belong to the family of rutaceae are one of the main fruit tree crops grown throughout the world. although sweet orange (citrus sinensis) is the major fruit in this group accounting for about 70% of citrus output.citrus fruits are well – appreciated fortheir refreshing juice and health benefits.the health benefits of citrus fruits are linked to the high amount...

In this study the sensing capabilities of a combination of metals and conducting polymer electrodes for drinking water and dissolved tastants using an AC-impedance mode in frequency range 10 to 10 Hz at 0.1 V potential has been carried out. Classification of seven different bottled and municipal drinking water samples along with various tastants dissolved in DI water (DI water) for KCl (5mM) (s...
