Antioxidant rich green leafy vegetables including garden spinach leaf, water spinach leaf, Indian spinach leaf, and green leaved amaranth were selected to evaluate the effects of water boiling and oil frying on their total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), reducing power (RP), and antioxidant capacity. The results revealed that there was a significant increase in TPC, TFC, ...

Three indirect methods for the quality control of olanzapine (OLP) in commercial formulations based on titrimetric and spectrophotometric techniques are described using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) and two dyes, namely amaranth and janus green B as reagents. In titrimetry, a measured excess of NBS is added to an acidified solution of OLP and the unreacted NBS is determined iodometrically. Spectroph...

A simple spectrophotometric method is described for resolving binary mixtures of some food dyes: Amaranth, Brilliant Blue, Sunset Yellow and Tartrazine, using the first-derivative spectra with measurements at zero-crossing wavelengths. Analytical curves are linear up to 20 mg L(-1). Standard deviations of 1.30, 2.22, 1.93 and 0.81% were obtained for synthetic binary mixtures of 2 mg L(-1) of Am...

Most known cereals have been the staple food of humans but these crops are not being able to fulfill requirements on aspects nutrition as well security. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has identified amaranth under-utilized crop immense potential upgrade health, global hunger. Amaranth seeds rich in energy, protein, calcium iron it is fast easily grown difficult weather soil conditi...

Functional-Structural Plant Modelling (FSPM) isplant modeling that considers morphology, physiology, and statistical data. Oneof the software for FSPM is Growth-Grammar Interactive Platform (GroIMP).GroIMP a Java-based platform using XL language, which languagedeveloped from System-L. This study aims to build virtual plant model ofgreen amaranth (Amaranthus Sp.) in hydroponic planting systemfor...

Mycelial pellets of Trametes versicolor, grown at initial glucose and ammonium tartrate concentrations of 10 g/l (56 mM) and 0.442 g/l (2.4 mM) respectively, decolorized successive additions of the same dye (Amaranth) and of different dyes and dye mixtures. Decoloration commenced by Day 3 and all dyes were decolorized at high rates during the next 12 days. Glucose was consumed at a steady rate ...
