the effect of acid-alkaline treatment of lignocellulosic material (wild carob forest wastes) on ethyl violet adsorption was investigated. it was found that surface chemistry plays an important role in ethyl violet (ev) adsorption. hcl treatment produces more active acidic surface groups such as carboxylic and lactone, resulting in an increase in the adsorption of ev dye. the adsorption efficien...

The following well-known text from the Babylonian Talmud (redacted ca. 600 C.E.) has had an enormous influence on scholarly accounts of the relation between divine authority and human authority in talmudic rabbinic Judaism. [Regarding a certain kind of oven, R. Eliezer rules that it is ritually pure and the sages rule that it is ritually impure.] It was taught: On that day, R. Eliezer responded...

The present study aimed to obtain and investigate the physicochemical sensory characteristics of fiber-rich cereal bars containing probiotics. Different formulations were tested, by adding Bacillus subtilis (Probisis®) cells, and/or carob powder for improving functional properties enhancement color flavor. Proximate composition, texture, color, antioxidant activity measured. Water was registere...

The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a typical Mediterranean species with over 4000-year history. From ancient Egyptians to Cretans, products have been used as emergency food in the absence of basic goods. In previous few decades, global agricultural economy has replaced traditional crops more profitable ones, which led soil degradation and greater requirement for inputs. rediscovery use pl...

Concentrated whole extracts of the immature fruit of carob and 3 fractions derived from this extract have been shown to inhibit the gibberellic acid induced growth of pea seedlings. The inhibition can be completely reversed by increasing the amount of gibberellic acid. The inhibitors do not reduce the endogenous growth of seedlings but only that induced by gibberellic acid. One of the fractions...

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) with limited widespread in Turkey is considered as secondary forest tree. In this study, molecular characterizations were made for 508 genotypes of seven different carob populations colelcted from Eagean, Western and Eastern Mediterranean regions the aid sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) technique. Identification wild genotypes, relativity levels geneti...

The literature on pediatric reflux can be divided into studies addressing clinically apparent reflux (vomiting or regurgitation) and reflux as measured by pH probe or other methods. Sodium alginate reduces vomiting and improves parents' assessment of symptoms (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, small randomized controlled trial [RCT]). Formula thickened with rice cereal decreases the number o...

BACKGROUND Cryptococcus gattii is a pathogenic basidiomycetous yeast that is emerging in temperate climate zones worldwide. C. gattii has repetitively been isolated from numerous tree species. Ongoing environmental sampling and molecular characterization is essential to understand the presence of this primary pathogenic microorganism in the Mediterranean environment. AIMS To report the first ...

Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect partial replacement wheat flour by carob, malt and soybean flours on characteristics dough’s breads. Methods: For preparation basic dough, blended with water, sodium chloride dried yeast. samples were subjected operations mixing, proofing baking. used in increasing ratio 1-5%. Result: Physicochemical properties composite showed ...
