Drying is one of the most important stages of hazelnut processing and its optimization improves the quality of the final product. The quality of hazelnut is dependent on chemical and organoleptic characteristics of fruit that is affected in the drying process. In present research, samples of Gerd cultivar of hazelnut (Corylus avellana) were dried in shelled and in-shell forms using a laboratory...

Mussaenda philippica Linn. belongs to the sub-family Ixoroideae which family Rubiaceae. The aim of this study was employ quality control parameters in evaluation flowers M. L. were collected, identified, air dried and pulverized. Standard procedures carried out obtain microscopic features fresh powdered samples, micromeritic, chemomicroscopy, flourescence properties, soluble-extractive values, ...

environmental stresses such as drought have important effects on plant growth and development. in order to evaluate the effect of drought tolerance, 12 chickpea genotypes were treated with drought stress in hydroponic condition in greenhouses. treatments were a control and two stress treatments -3 and -6 bar that was created with polyethylene glycol in hydroponic condition. two weeks after the ...

The effects of grafting on the morphology, physiology, and aerenchyma balsam pear aboveground under waterlogging stress were studied using a two-factor randomized block design. At 8 16 days, degree reduction grafted was lower than those self-rooted pear, although height leaf number pears remarkably reduced stress. Compared with considerably decreased malondialdehyde content leaves but substanti...

in order to study the effect of sowing dates and cultivation methods on yield and other characteristics of two cultivars of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) an experiment based on split plot design was carried out with three replications in 2007 at khorramdarreh region of zanjan province. treatments consisted of three sowing dates (may 21, june 4&19), two cultivation methods (furrow and basi...

The effect of different rates of ethanol additive on fermentation quality of napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum) and residual water soluble carbohydrate were studied in the experiment. The addition rate of ethanol was 0%, 1.5%, 2.5%, 3.5%, 4.5% on fresh weight of napiergrass. The laboratory silos were kept in the room, then were opened on 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 30 days after ensiling and the changes of...

Functional and nutritional soluble proteins can be recovered from surimi (and surimi-like material) processing wastewater, reducing environmental problems and the cost of an irresponsible waste disposal. Recovered proteins may be added back at a low percentage to surimi products. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the addition of soluble recovered proteins (RP), obtained from me...

the potential of fourier transform near-infrared (ft-nir) spectroscopy technique was applied to determine moisture and soluble solids content of shahani date fruit. spectral acquisitions were carried out in reflectance mode using a ft-nir spectrophotometer in the range of 12000- 4000cm-1. three different preprocessing methods namely: multiplicative scatter correction (msc), first and second der...

Three cannulated Tswana steers were used to investigate the rumen degradability of mopane worm (Imbrasia belina) by measuring the amount of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearing at incubation periods up to 72 h. The effective degradability (ED) of DM and CP in the rumen was calculated at outflow rates of 0.03 / h (ED0.03) and 0.05 / h(ED0.05). Rumen degradable CP (RDP) was estimat...
