Development of an ion-exchange HPLC method to simultaneously determine certain organic acids and sugars in green coffee is described. Identifying and quantitating flavor relevant compounds in green coffee offers the potential for an objective measure of cup quality. Presently, a panel of trained experts who rely upon sensory discrimination, a subjective measure, determines coffee quality. Accur...

Nano silica sulfuric acid as a solid acid, was described to be an effective catalyst for one-pot three-component reaction of kojic acid, aryl aldehydes and indoles for the preparation of 2-substituted aryl (indolyl) kojic acid derivatives. The catalyst was prepared by combination of chlorosulfonic acid to nano silica gel. The size of nanoparticles were observed with SEM.All prepared compounds w...

Different colored bell peppers (Capsicum annuum L.), green, red, and yellow were examined for their content of phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid and carotenoids as well as free radical scavenging activity using DPPH assay and antioxidant activity using ß-carotene/linoleic acid assay. Phenolic, ascorbic acid and carotenoid contents varied in different colored bell peppers. Green pepper had highe...

Pectin is one of the most widely used functional polysaccharide, which extensively in food, biotechnological, chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. can be suitably extracted from apple pomace main by-product juice industry. In this study, pectin obtained microwave assisted extraction (MAE) conventional (CE) were compared terms yield, time temperature. The type acids namely organic ...

This study investigated the effect of deficit irrigation at three management allowable depletion levels (MAD) 25%, 50%, and 75% on phytochemicals, ascorbic acid, antioxidant activity, glucose, fructose, and fresh and dry mass in two green leafy lettuce cultivars (Lollo Bionda and Vera) at harvest. Genotype response was observed during deficit irrigation on fresh and dry mass at harvest. Vera re...
