The production of plums has an important economic significance in BiH. By this product, Bosna Hersek is recognizable for a long time, since significant quantities fresh and dried plum, besides supply domestic market, have been exported to the European Global market. Municipality Gradacac role all this, because takes first place This study investigates economics Plums Gradacac. For purpose, prim...

Increasing environmental awareness has promoted an interest in alternative strategies to common plastics obtained from fossil sources, stimulating research on the use of biodegradable and edible films/coatings renewable sources such as arrowroot starch. This work aimed evaluate starch formation films coatings. concentration (from 1% 5%, mass/mass) film produced by casting resulted increased wat...

Considerable evidence indicates that causal information provides a vital constraint on conceptual representation and coherence. We investigated the role of causal information as a constraint on similarity, exploiting an asymmetry between predictive causal reasoning (given the cause, predict the effect) and diagnostic causal reasoning (given the effect, diagnose the cause). This asymmetry allowe...

The proanthocyanidins in three foods (pinto beans, plums and cinnamon) were studied with electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry (MS) in the negative mode following separation by normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The MS/MS analysis demonstrated that the major ions derived from heterocyclic ring fission and retro-Diels-Alder reaction of flavan-3-ol provided information...

The methodology developed in this study was based on digital imaging processing of plums harvested eight different weeks during their ripening process. Mean RGB data, histograms, and matrices data were used to characterise the stage plums, both qualitative quantitative approaches, by using classification quantification chemometric methods. An exploratory analysis performed principal component (...

Plum leaf scald (PLS), caused by the vector-borne bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, is a major obstacle to expansion of plum crops in Brazil. In other affected crops, this pathogen naturally transmitted mainly sharpshooter leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae). Despite importance PLS, vector species responsible for bacterial spread plums remain unknown. This study, therefore, aimed de...
