in this study, the effectiveness of chitosan coating treatment to control weight loss and maintaining fruit quality of apricot was investigated. fruits were coated with 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75% chitosan as well as distilled water (control). following treatments, fruits were stored at 0?c and 80 ? 2% relative humidity for 25 days. the weight loss, total soluble solids (tss), titratable acidity (ta)...

the effects of mandarin scions on peel components and juice quality parameters were investigated in this study. peel flavor components were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. then all analyzed by gc-fid and gc-ms. total soluble solids, total acids, ph value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from mandarin scions. twenty-seven, tw...

The peel volatile constituents and juice quality parameters of four tangerine cultivars were investigated in this study. Peel flavor constituents were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. Then all analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Total soluble solids, total acids, pH value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from tangerine cultivars. F...

Molecular and morphometric analyses of different Indian and Sri Lankan populations of two rattan species (Calamus rivalis and C. metzianus) were carried out using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and morphological characters. Multivariate analysis of RAPD and morphological data failed to separate these populations into two distinct species. RAPDs generated a total of 117 markers ...

Background: Root-knot nematodes are known to cause significant damage to eggplants. New approaches by green silver nanoparticles (GSN) are used to control plant-parasitic nematode to avoid chemical nematicide hazards.Objectives: Analyses of the incorporation of different concentrations of nanoparticles on two different algae (Ulva lactuca and Turbinaria turbinata) were carried out. Fureth...

genetic diversity amongst 21 induced mutant clones tolerant to salinity along with one non-irradiated sensitive clone of banana (musa acuminata cv. dwarf cavendish (aaa)) were studied using morphological and random amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) markers. out of the 30 phenotypic indices screened, 23 were polymorph and two traits, leaf habit and blotches color, were differentiated by non-irrad...

The wild mint "Mentha longifolia (L.) Hudson subsp. noeana (Briq.) Briq." is an important medicinal plant which contains several worthy components like: menthone, pulegone, pipertenon, menthol, thymol, and carvone in its essential oil. This plant grows extensively in center of Asia including Iran. Because of so worthy components and its big role in traditional and modern medicine, the wild mint...
