Abstract The leguminous family is considered one of the most important plant hosts, as it includes large numbers economic crops, including cowpeas, because contains a high percentage vegetable protein. Cowpea infested with number insects, leafhopper insects piercing, sucking mouthparts that cause direct and indirect damage to crop by transmitting viral diseases causing loss yield. he was diagno...

to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative of forage in intercropping of sorghum and chickling pea under limited irrigation systems, an experiment was conducted in research farm, college of agriculture, university of tehran, during 2009 and 2010. the treatments were arranged as split plots consisted of three levels of irrigation regimes including control (irrigation after 70mm evaporation fro...

Legumes and pulses have high nutritive values and functional properties that exert positive effects on health and nutrition. This study developed a novel complementary baby food using germinated mung bean and cowpea as sources of extra nutrients supplemented to the infants (aging 6-12 months). The carbohydrate contents of mung bean and cowpea showed 64.3 and 64.0% reduction, respectively, durin...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different thermal treatments (20-100°C at five levels for 20 min) on rheological properties of basil seed (Ocimum basilicum) and balangu seed (Lallemantia royleana) gums. Power law model well described the non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behaviour of the seeds gums. The apparent viscosity of balangu seed gum was dramatically aff...

The nutritional benefits of grain legumes such as cowpea and soybean in sub-Saharan Africa have not been fully utilized to alleviate problem of protein-malnutrition in this region. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the nutritional properties and sensory evaluation of snack food made from high-quality cassava flour (HQCF) and soybeans (50:50), and HQCF and cowpea (50:50). Sensory evaluati...

Cutaneous hyperpigmentation is a common disorder due to excess melanin production by the enzyme tyrosinase. The gold standard for treatment is hydroquinone (HQ), which reduces pigmentation through its toxicity to melanocytes rather than via tyrosinase inhibition. We screened an internal library for oligopeptides that inhibited both mushroom and human tyrosinase but showed no cytotoxicity to hum...
