in this study, potential application of image texture analysis as a non-destructive method for automation and prediction of mechanical properties of carrot chips was investigated. samples were fried at different processing conditions and moisture content, colour parameters (i.e. l*, a*, b* and e) and mechanical properties (i.e. hardness and apparent modulus) were determined. hardness and appar...

Minimum inhibitory concentration of carbendazim among the 12 isolates Alternaria dauci (Kuhn) Groves & Skollo causing leaf blight carrot showed variation. Isolate Ad-11 was most sensitive have MIC 6% and Ad-2 highly resistant 20%. The effect Ammonium nitrate, Calcium Sodium nitrate Zinc were tested growth rate carrot. found to be best source nitrogen for both isolates.

Rapid emergence and uniform seedling growth are essential attributes in the production of vegetables such as carrots, whose sowing is direct field. The experiment was conducted to evaluate effect carrot seed vigor on emergence, plant development, yield. Four lots carrot, cv. Brasília were characterized for their physiological potential by germination tests. A field conducted, where seeds each l...

A leaf blight of carrot (Daucus carota) caused by Alternaria dauci was found in Alentejo (Ourique, Portugal). Morphological characteristics of the fungus are described.

Abstract Twelve carrot varieties in different colours and sizes were investigated for chemical properties (dry matter, ash, pectins, titratable acidity, pH), contents of vitamin C, sugar, organic acids, mineral (sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium), anti-oxidant activities (ABTS, FRAP, ORAC). Moreover, total polyphenolics tetraterpenoids colourful presented. According to the study, sucr...

In order to investigate the effect of celery,sour apple and carrot on some of the biochemical parameters of serum from diabetic rats,25 male adult rats were selected.the rats were divided into 5 groups.a group consisting of 5 rats were chosen as the control group and diabetes mellitus was induced in 20 out of 25 adult male albino rats using intraperitoneal injection of 170mg/kg(body weight) of ...

Carotenoids are red, orange and yellow pigments, which are widely distributed in fruit and vegetables. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of conventional, high pressure and microwave cooking on the concentrations of β-carotene in carrot and sweet corn. Raw carrots were washed, peeled and diced to a uniform size and then frozen at -70°C. Sweet corn was also provided in a simil...

It is widely observed that many physicians working in public health facilities do not put in the required effort and/or time in their jobs. At the same time, many public physicians remain highly motivated, working long hours for little financial reward in providing quality health services. This mix of providertypes poses fundamental challenges in the design of compensation mechanisms and monito...

in this study response surface methodology was used to optimize process conditions and to evaluate the effect of ultrasound on quality attributes (antioxidant activity, ph, total soluble solid, turbidity) and the inactivation of escherichia coli bacteria in carrot juice. independent variables in this study were temperature (25-50°c), time (20-40 min) and frequency (0-130 khz). in this study the...

somatic embryogenesis is a new approache to plant mass in vitro propagation. this method influences by elements and their components in medium. in order to investigate the effects of different media and it,s role on somatic embryogenesis of carrot, a cbd experiment with four replications (including 12 treatments) was conducted. to do this, carrot petioles (with 1 cm dimension) in induction phas...
