This study was performed to define the kinetic drying model and effective diffusivity coefficient of fruit, which is called Diospyros kaki in literature, from family Ebonaceae known as Persimmon our country. In study, blueberries by weight 100 g with a thickness 5 mm were placed device, data processed observing loss every two hours after being subjected process for 14 hours. 8 different models ...

BACKGROUND Although it has been reported to contain high polyphenols, the pharmacological studies of the calyx of Diospyros kaki Thunb (DKC) have not been elucidated in detail. In this study, we elucidated anti-cancer activity and potential molecular mechanism of DKC against human colorectal cancer cells. METHODS Anti-cell proliferative effect of 70% ethanol extracts from the calyx of Diospyr...

Denev, P. and A. YorDAnov, 2013. Total polyphenol, proanthocyanidin and flavonoid content, carbohydrate composition and antioxidant activity of persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) fruit in relation to cultivar and maturity stage. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 981-988 The current study investigates the total polyphenol, proanthocyanidin and flavonoid content, the carbohydrate composition, and antioxidant ...

The effect of 100 ppm solution of each of kinetin, adenine, uracil and thymine on the vegetative and reproductive growth of Cucumis sativus, phaseolus mungo, Oryza sativus, Raphanus sativus and Lycopersicum esculentum plants were studied. The rate of vegetative growth was found to be more in the Cucumis sativus, Raphanus sativus and Lycopersicum esculentum plants treated with all the chemicals ...

The white-thread blight and black rot (WTBR) caused by basidiomycetous fungi of the genus Ceratobasidium is emerging as an important plant disease in Brazil, particularly for crop species in the Ericales such as persimmon (Diospyros kaki) and tea (Camellia sinensis). However, the species identity of the fungal pathogen associated with either of these hosts is still unclear. In this work, we use...

Currently, nutrition and health linkages focused on emerging strategy of diet based regimen to combat various physiological threats including cardiovascular disorders, oxidative stress, diabetes mellitus, etc. In this context, consumption of fruits and vegetables is gaining considerable importance as safeguard to maintain human health. Likewise, their phytochemicals and bioactive molecules are ...
