The main objective of this work was to assess the effectiveness of salicylic acid (SA), calcium chloride (CaCl2) or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), and packaging on some qualitative properties of apricot fruit during cold storage. The experiments were conducted using a completely randomized design as factorial, with three replicates. Fruits were dipped in SA (0.1 or 0.5 mM), CaCl2 (1 or 2%) or NaH...

in this study, shelf life properties of tomato powder under effect of air drying temperature were studied. the qualitative determination was observed that acceptance of color, aroma,flavor, and appearance at 70oc is better, so best temperature was 70oc for producing of tomato powder. tomato powder after drying ,were stored into three kind of packaging including thin cellophane, thick cellophane...

The use of cellophane in ultrafiltration is recommended. It is shown that after it has been swollen in water it does not hold back molecules such as sucrose but that it holds back all but the finest colloidal particles. Two methods are given for progressively decreasing the size of the pores until the cellophane becomes a very fine molecular sieve. A sieve structure as the chief factor seems mo...

A plate confrontation experiment is commonly used to study the mechanism by which Trichoderma spp. antagonize and parasitize other fungi. Previous work with chitinase gene expression (ech42) during the precontact period of this process in which cellophane and dialysis membranes separated Trichoderma harzianum and its host Rhizoctonia solani resulted in essentially opposite results. Here, we sho...

INTRODUCTION Portosystemic shunts are anomalous vessels that join the portal and systemic venous circulation, allowing most of the portal blood to bypass the liver and enter the systemic circulation and are classified as intrahepatic or extrahepatic. Portosystemic shunting occurs either as a single congenital shunt or as multiple acquired shunts due to chronic portal hypertension. Radiographic ...

The Gulf Journal of Dermatology and Venereology ABSTRACT Pityriasis versicolor (PV), a mycotic infection, is characterized by discrete or concrescent, scaly, discolored or hypopigmented areas. The clinical presentation, though very typical, may be confused with other skin disorders. This study was aimed to evaluate the reliability of cellophane tape as a method for diagnosis of PV versus the st...
