BACKGROUND several studies have found nutrients, including antioxidants, to be associated with sarcopenia. However, whether specific foods, such as vegetables and fruits, are associated with sarcopenia has not been studied. OBJECTIVE to examine the association of the frequency of vegetables and fruits consumption with sarcopenia in older people. METHODS this study used cross-sectional data ...

Background and Aims Radially symmetrical, five-winged fossil fruits from the highly diverse early Eocene Laguna del Hunco flora of Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina, are named, described and illustrated. The main goals are to assess the affinities of the fossils and to place them in an evolutionary, palaeoecological and biogeographic context. Methods Specimens of fossil fruits were collec...

Economic losses due to bird damage to small fruits such as blueberries, grapes, and cherries can be very high and are expected to increase in the future. The primary sugars in these fruits are glucose and fructose. Sucrose is present in very low concentrations only. Our research has unveiled a physiological trait common to many fruit-eating species in the phylogenetically related families Musci...

the pomegranate fruits of cvs. malas yazdi and malas ashkezar were immersed in sa (1 and 2 mm from source of acytyl salicylic acid) for five minutes, in ja (0.3 and 0.4 mm from source of n-propyl dihydrojasmonate) for fifteen minutes, in cacl2 (1 and 2%) for five minutes, and in distilled water for five minutes as control. then, the fruits were stored in cold storage at 1.5±0.5ºc and 85±5% rela...

Analytical HPTLC analysis of ethanolic extracts of leaf and fruits of Momordica tuberosa and Momordica dioica (Cucurbitaceae) showed the presence of charantin with Rf value 0.31at 536nm. Maximum amount of Charantin was found in the leaves of M. dioica than the fruits. Comparatively less amount of charantin was detected in the leaves and fruits of M. tuberosa Apart from charantin other saponins ...

Little information is available about the vitamins of the B group (with the possible exceptions of aneurin and riboflavin) in fruits and vegetables, particularly those most widely cultivated in the British Isles. The riboflavin contents of home-grown fruits have been surveyed by the author (James, 1944). This paper records estimations, made in the 1947 and 1948 seasons, of nicotinic acid, panto...
