Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) fruit is an important medicinal plant in Iran. The harvesting time is a crucial for jujube fruit quality. Several characteristics of jujube fruit when harvested at four development stages; white mature (light green), crisp mature (white-red), fully mature (red) and fully ripe (dehydrated brown) were evaluated. Fruit weight, diameter, volume, pulp to stone ratio, f...

The aim of present study was to compare the effects of ultrasound-assisted and microwave-assisted extraction with solvent extraction method on antioxidant activities of jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.) leaf extracts in stability of sunflower oil during deep frying. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH˙) radical scavenging and β...

Jujube production is threatened by jujube witches’ broom (JWB) disease, which caused JWB phytoplasma. The TCP transcription factor (TF) ZjTCP16 may be involved in the interaction of plants with In this study, qRT-PCR proved that expression pattern was altered gene functions were analyzed its overexpression Arabidopsis and jujube, as well knock-down in. resulted dwarfism small leaves, while zjtc...

This study reports an analytical method for the determination of nitroimidazole and quinolones in honey using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A modified QuEChERS methodology was used to extract the analytes and determine veterinary drugs in honey by LC-MS/MS. The linear regression was excellent at the concentration levels of 1-100 ng/mL in the solution standard curve ...

Loess Plateau is a typical rain-fed farming region, facing the threat of drought. Irrigation method is among the most important factors affecting jujube quality. This study investigated the response of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Lizao quality to three different irrigation methods (drip-, pipe- and surge spring root irrigation) combining two water levels (20 m(3)/hm(2) and 120 m(3)/hm(2)). The ef...

The research on brand construction of agricultural products is gradually rising. This paper takes the regional public Taigu Huping Jujube as object, based theory innovation diffusion, explores diffusion characteristics Jujube, and proves that they are compatible. From perspective communicator, receiver, communication channel decision-making, problems existing in dissemination jujube discovered....

jujube (ziziphus jujuba mill.) is a valuable medicinal plant which is important in iranian traditional medicines. although the regional plants such as jujube play an important role in our economy, but they are forgotten in research and technology. considering the economic and medicinal importance of jujube, the first step in breeding programs is determination of the genetic diversity among the ...

objectives: ziziphus jujube (jujube) plant has exhibited numerous medicinal and pharmacological properties including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. this study was carried out to investigate its anti-cancer and pro-apoptotic abilities in human cervical and breast cancer cells in vitro. materials and methods: the cervical ov2008 and breast mcf-7 cancer cells were incubated with differ...

This study investigates the impact of radio frequency (RF) heat treatment on and mass transfer during hot air drying jujube slices. Experiments were conducted at different stages, comparing single-hot with combined RF treatment. Numerical models using COMSOL Multiphysics® developed to simulate process, results compared validate models. The maximum difference between simulated value center tempe...

Accepted: 24/12/2014 Abstract A study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of Indian jujube pulp on the quality attributes of chicken sausages incorporated at 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% level (replacing lean meat) into the formulation of chicken sausages. The proximate, physico-chemical and sensory properties of sausages were analyzed. Among the different proximate and physicochemical parameters, a s...
