The causal fungus of pear scab, Venturia nashicola, grows slowly and rarely produces conidia on artificial media in the laboratory, but it produced conidia on the Cheongah medium containing Cheongah powder. V. nashicola grew too slow to produce conidia until 15 days after cultivation but produced conidia with 4 × 104 conidia/plate 30 days after cultivation on the Cheongah medium containing 1% C...

The present study aimed at evaluating nutritional potential and antioxidant activity of the extracts derived from vegetable wastes such as carrot pomace, onion upper bulbs, peels garlic, tomato & potato. Proximate composition, minerals profiling antioxidants 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) trolox equivalent capacity (TEAC) were estimated, phenolics characterization was performed using ...

The effects of grape seeds extract and grape peels extract prepared from grape pomace on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, degree of lipid peroxidation in serum and liver tissue were investigated in rabbits fed on high cholesterol diet. New Zealand white rabbits were divided as follows ; 1) NOR (normal group); 2) CHOL (cholesterol group); 3) GSH (cholesterol + grape seed extract group); 4) G...

Vitamin A (VA) deficiency is a worldwide public health problem. Biofortifying existing sources of b-carotene (bC) and increasing dietary bC could help combat the issue. Two studies were performed to investigate the relative bC bioavailability of a bC supplement to purple, high-bC orange, and typical orange carrots using Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). In study 1, which used a traditi...

Carrot pomace is the main waste residue obtained during carrot juice extraction. Plant tissues respond to abiotic stresses (i.e., wounding stress and ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation) by accumulating bioactive compounds. Due mechanical damage occurring extraction, undergoes extreme stress. In this study, effects of UVC light (11.8 W m?2, 0–120 min) storage time (48 h, 25 °C) on accumulation phenol...

The demand for the development of functional and nutrients-rich products boosting immunity is prime focus consumers. carrot pomace, a potential by-product juice, was used to develop fortified sweet corn porridge. Response surface methodologies optimization process parameters, like, proportion pomace (10–50 g/100 g), milk (50–250 mL/100 sugar (12–20 cooking time (10–20 min) were selected assess ...

Edible insects are a sustainable food source to help feed the growing population. Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) can survive on variety of wastes and alter their composition based source. Commercial carrot production produces an abundance carotenoid-rich pomace, which may be beneficial for mealworm larvae growth. This study uses I-optimal response surface design assess effect dehydrated pomace co...
