Abstract – Introduction. Pithecellobium dulce is a legume native to tropical America that produces edible arils which can be white or red. The plant is also grown in Asia and, to date, predominantly fruits produced in Asia have been the subject of scientific studies. We studied white and red arils produced in America. Materials and methods. White aril and red aril fruits were evaluated in an ar...

aril browning threatens production, consumption, and exports of pomegranates, because affected fruit cannot be externally distinguished from healthy fruit. this study compared the mineral, biochemical composition, and related enzyme activities in affected brown arils with healthy ones in ‘malase saveh’ pomegranates. the results indicated that concentrations of cu in the aril and k, mg, and mn i...

The antioxidant activities of the ethanol extract, its benzene and chloroform fraction from seed aril of Myristica malabarica (Myristicaceae) were assessed in an effort to validate the hepatoprotective potency of this plant. The extract and the fractions showed scavenging of 1, 1-diphenyl-2picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and inhibition of ABTS radical in vitro. Antioxidant activities of the extra...

introduction iran is a frontier of pomegranate fruit production in the world (with almost 40 % of the world`s production). however due to traditional processing operations is not ranked as the largest pomegranate exporter. saveh, neyriz and ferdows are the top pomegranate producing cities in iran. pomegranate is consumed as a fresh fruit as well as processed product as food additive, paste, syr...

Um procedimento melhorado para a síntese de ésteres ácido indol-2-acético em rendimentos excelentes foi obtido pela condensação de 2-halo aril aldeídos ou cetonas e isocianoacetato de etila usando líquido iônico sob irradiação de microondas controlada (100 W) a 50 C. Este método oferece um número de vantagens em termos de metodologia simples, com rendimento elevado num tempo de reação curto e e...

Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS, EC 2.4.1.14) is a key enzyme that regulates sucrose biosynthesis in plants. SPS is encoded by different gene families which display differential expression patterns and functional divergence. Genome-wide identification and expression analyses of SPS gene families have been performed in Arabidopsis, rice, and sugarcane, but a comprehensive analysis of the SPS gen...
