Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effect temperature and time convective drying on content fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in apples, plums strawberries which FOS had been introduced by osmoconcentration. share oligosaccharides total sugars analyzed. In apple tissue, were stable range 40–80 °C during for up 8 h. Convective osmotically dehydrated caused losses; retention after h a...

The objective of the present study was to determine the levels of essential nutrients (Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn) and toxic metals (Pb and Cd) in selected varieties of fruits (banana, grape, guava, mandarin and orange), farmland soils and irrigation waters to assess nutritional impact on health. The freeze dried fruits were digested using HNO3 and HClO4 and the levels of the elements determ...

General phytochemical screening of the aqueous extract of fruits of Solanum xanthocarpum (Solanaceae) revealed the presence of steroids, terpenes, phenolic compounds, saponins, fatty acids, alkaloids. Fractionation of aqueous extract and activity guided isolation resulted in isolation of two white crystalline powder which were subjected to physical, chemical and spectral identification using IR...

Studies on methods for fixing foods (with a slight loss of bioactive compounds) and obtaining attractive products are important with respect to current technology. The drying process allows for a product with highly bioactive properties. Drying of Physalis fruit was carried out in a conventional manner, and in a microwave under reduced pressure at 120 W and 480 W. After drying, the fruits were ...

The quantification of the phytochemical constituents was undertaken for (solanaceae family) as they are known to be drying in an oven at 70°C for 24 h. The dried powder material was used analysis indicated that most of the screened compounds were present in the samples, alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, saponins and triterpenoids. However, phenols and anthocyanins were and C.frutescens respective...

Volume 1 • Issue 6 • 1000e119 Biochem Anal Biochem ISSN:2161-1009 Biochem, an open access journal Sugars constitute a class of biocomponents, which can reach in plants an amount of almost 50% of their dried weight. Glucose, fructose and saccharose are found in significant amounts in fruits and honey. Glucose or dextrose occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables as the primary product of photosy...

the aim of this research was to use osmosis-ultrasound compound pre-treatment and studying the time of drying and the potentiality to rehydration in dried samples of kiwi fruit (hayvard variety). the samples were drained in three timed phases, 10, 20 and 30 minutes in room temperature in 30, 50 and 70 bx in ultrasound bath osmosis solutions. the results of drying time showed that by decreasing ...

A vast majority of the studies addressing the free radicals including hydroxyl radical is a damage compound of biochemical molecules such as DNA, proteins and lipids. When free radicals specially hydroxyl radical are not adequately removed from the body, it may damage biological macromolecules, leading to a variety of disease occurs. Therefore, the body should be protected by an enzymatic or no...
