Carrot, a biennial herb of the Apiaceae family, is among the most important vegetable crops in the world. In this study, nine candidate reference genes (GAPDH, ACTIN, eIF-4α, PP2A, SAND, TIP41, UBQ, EF-1α, and TUB) were cloned from carrot. Carrot plants were subjected to abiotic stresses (heat, cold, salt, and drought) and hormone stimuli (gibberellin, salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate, and absc...

Characterization of the carbohydrates of pea (Pisum sativum) hulls, carrot and cabbage using both colorimetric and gas-liquid chromatographic techniques permitted a detailed investigation into the extent of digestion of differing types of fibre. These digestion studies were greatly aided by the development of a rapid bioassay employing starved adult cockerels. Total collection of undigested res...

BACKGROUND Vegetables, apart from having high nutritional value, also contain considerable amounts of dietary fibre and other components, which may affect physico-chemical properties of fermented milks, e.g. viscosity, texture, susceptibility to syneresis, flavour profile etc. The present work was established to study the effect of selected vegetables addition on the rheological, textural, micr...

Carrot slices were subjected to one of the following experiments prior to deep-frying: (A) dehydration/rehydration, (B) soaking in different antioxidants, and (C) fermentation with/without blanching. There were no significant differences (P > or = 0.05) in carotenoid contents among carrot chips treated with/without dehydration. Soaking in sodium metabisulfite resulted in the highest carotenoid ...

carrot contains valuable and healthy material. beta carotene pigments and antioxidants on it are so effective against free radicals in body. formulation of novel fruity products is object of some investigations and in parallel of it, have been used different compositions of hydrocolloids and others additional material in its formulations. in addition we can use the low edible quality of carrots...

The effect of onion juice on the whitening fresh-cut carrots during storage was explored to optimize processing technology carrots. Using fresh carrot and as raw materials whiteness value reference index, process parameters were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) based single factor experiment, physiological biochemical indexes determined. Results showed that conditions follows: co...

Fruit juices are prone to spoilage without the use of preservatives. This study evaluated effect preservatives on microbial, physicochemical and sensory quality cucumber carrots juices. Carrot cucumbers fruits were extracted, filtered treated with garlic ginger powder sodium benzoate. served as control. The microbial qualities fruit juice determined using standard methods. Total viable count fo...

the moist sample shrinks during drying and the non-uniformity shrinkage involves stresses in the body. the aim of the present work is simulating deformations and drying-induced stresses of carrot slice during a convective drying. the effect of shrinkage on the heat and mass transfer profiles were considered. non-constant physical and thermal properties were also incorporated in the model and th...

abstract in order to study the effect of using somaclonal variation on production of resistant lines to water deficit conditions on carrot (daucus carota l.), an experiment was carried out in department of biotechnology of all russian research institute of vegetable crops (raas) in 2008-2009. coated seeds of four carrot cultivars which are cultivated in iran including, monarch, nantes improved,...

abstract somatic embryogenesis is a new approach to in vitro plant propagation. this technique is based on stem cell obtain and its differentiation to a complete plant. this is affected by components of media culture. so, the effects of ms, b5 and nl media on carrot petiole somatic embryogenesis investigated via histological experiment. to do this, carrot petioles (with 1 cm dimension) cultured...
