Biofortification is the process of developing a crop with bioavailable micronutrients in its edible parts. This has been done using nanofertilizers, since they can be used to feed plants gradual and controlled manner. Therefore, aim this work was evaluate effect foliar application ZnO NPs different concentrations on commercial phytochemical quality basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) crop, as it one mo...

Marine macrophytes are hypothesized to be a major temporary sink for microplastics. In this study, microplastic contamination was investigated in 15 macroalgal species and one seagrass from different sites two lagoons of the northern Adriatic Sea: Goro lagoon Venice lagoon. A high percentage (94%) macrophyte samples contained microplastics, ranging 0.16 330 items g?1 fw, with prevalent size ran...

The material for this study consisted of stratified seeds of Vitis californica submitted to germination under optimum conditions (+25 °C) or under chill stress (+10 °C), also followed by recovery. It has been determined that the germinating seeds contain considerable amounts of tannins, catechins as well as phenolic acids such as gallic, p-coumaric, caffeic and ferulic acids. Gallic acid appear...

The objective of this present study was to analyse and compare the total antioxidant activity and radical scavenging capacity of selected fruits and vegetables from south India. The selected fruits and vegetables such as mulberries, papaya, red grapes, mango, guava, tomato, red onion, red cauliflower, carrot and beetroot were used in this study. The selected fruits and vegetables showed a high ...

Leucaena leucocephala is a nitrogen-fixing tropical leguminous tree that produces two pyridine alkaloids, i. e. mimosine [beta-(3-hydroxy-4-pyridon-1-yl)-L-alanine] and trigonelline (1-methylpyridinium-3-carboxylate). Mimosine has been detected in leaves, flowers, pods, seeds, and roots, and it is one of the principal non-protein amino acids that occurs in all organs. Asparagine was the most ab...

Variability in the concentrations of the chemical constituents that contribute to fruit flavor in Capsicum chinense is poorly documented in the scientific literature. We surveyed fruit of 216 landraces and cultivated varieties of Capsicum chinense acquired from North, Central, and South America, and analyzed these for concentrations of the simple sugars sucrose, glucose, and fructose, and citri...

Iridoid and polyphenol profiles of 30 different honeysuckle berry cultivars and genotypes were studied. Compounds were identified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS/MS) in positive and negative ion modes and quantified by HPLC-PDA. The 50 identified compounds included 15 iridoids, 6 anthocyanins, 9 flavonols, 2 fla...

This study aimed to investigate the impacts of three organic acid salts and two bacterial additives on fermentation profile, in vitro digestibility gas production, aerobic stability total mixed ration (TMR) silage prepared with 10% fresh weight (FW) wet hulless barley distillers’ grains (WHDG), 35% FW common vetch, 15% whole-crop oat, straw, 30% concentrate. The (555 g kg?1 FW) was ensiled six ...

In this study, the effects of various factors on anthocyanins extracted from ClitoriaTernatea L. petals were determined. addition, phytochemical properties, antioxidant ability, antimicrobial capacity, and application extractions also investigated. As a result, highest proportion anthocyanin, 1.21 mg/g fresh weight (FW), was obtained when extracting with 100% methanol, solvent/sampleratio 10ml/...

Radical scavenging capacity of a crude methanolic extract from the fruits of Phillyrea latifolia L., commonly known as green olive tree or mock privet, was investigated with reference to anthocyanin standards, as flavonoids, and phenolic acid standards, as phenylpropanoids. Characterization with high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) indicated the presence of ke...
