An increasing body of evidence on the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and healthy status is being accumulated. Floral buds of Capparis spinosa L. are commonly used in the Mediterranean cuisine as flavoring for meat and other foods. The present study evaluated bioactive components and antioxidant activity of Sicilian capers stabilized in salt. Whereas alpha-tocopherol was...

The current study aimed to investigate the curative and preventive effect of alcoholic aqueous extract Capparis spinosa leaves on histological structure kidneys some biochemical parameters male rats injected intraperitoneally with lead acetate. Biometrics included urea, creatinine, uric acid total protein levels antioxidants (T-AOX), glutathione (GSH) malondial aldehyde (MDA) assay. 40 laborato...

Business-to-business (B2B) e-marketplaces — new entities spawned by the Internet — provide a broad range of supply chain management services, including digital catalogues, online auctions, logistics services, supply chain planning and even design collaboration. Although the majority of the e-marketplaces launched in the past decade have failed, hundreds have survived and in some cases thrived (...

One of the essential factors for selection drying process is energy consumption. This study intended to optimize treatment capers using convection (CD), refractive window (RWD), and vacuum (VD) combined with ultrasonic pretreatment by a comparative approach among artificial neural networks (ANN) response surface methodology (RSM) focusing on specific consumption (SEC). For this purpose, effects...

Abstract Genetic diversity and variability between populations is essential for the long-term survival of plant species as well their adaptation to different habitats. The Capparis spinosa L. has two subspecies in Spain, with stipules thorny rupestris without them. In used its cultivation , which difficult manipulate due thorny. capers, unripe fruits tender shoots are food. caper a rich source ...

As a part of a programme on possible utilization of indigenous plant extracts in pest management practices, acetone extracts of eight plant species collected in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, were tested for their larvicidal activity against the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti L. The buds of Tail Pepper, Piper cubeba L, Capers Capparis spinosa L and Indian Black Berry, Syzygium cumini...

We explain what the 500 language problem is, why it is a relevant problem , and why solutions are needed. We discuss its solution, and illustrate it by applying it to two non-trivial but representative languages: an exotic proprietary real-time language from the telecommunications industry, and a well-known dialect of the most popular language in the world: IBM's VS COBOL II. We share our lesso...
