background: freezing is a common way and one of the best methods of seafood preservation for long periods of time; however, the freeze thawing process may influence the quality of food. objectives: oxidation and denaturation of proteins, sublimation and recrystallization of ice crystals can cause changes in the quality of the frozen products. this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of three...

Oysters are bivalve molluscs in the family Osteridae of the order Ostereoida and are found throughout the world. Quality of stored muscle of oyster, Crossostrea glomerata depends on the temperature and storage time. Investigation on factors responsible for spoilage of oyster meat in refrigerator (7±2°C); in term of biochemical indices, indicated that in 1-2 days the following changes will accur...

cataract is clouding of the eye lens that reduces the amount of incoming light and results in deteriorating vision. blindness is thought to reach 75 million by 2020. of these, unoperated cataract may be expected to account for at least 35 million. thus, the burden of cataract is increasing remorselessly. embelica officinalis is reported to have a very good antioxidant property and thus we hypot...

this study was undertaken to investigate the effect of long-term reduced tillage on grain yield, grain quality, and weed infestation of spring wheat. the experimental variables were three tillage systems: (a) conventional tillage (ct): shallow ploughing (10-12 cm) and harrowing after harvest of the previous crop, ploughing (25-30 cm) in the autumn; (b) reduced tillage (rt): only a cultivator (1...

gamma irradiation was used at different doses (80, 160 and 240 gy) on glycine max (l.) merrill cv. hill homogenous seeds. a single suitable m2 plant was selected and evaluated at m3 and m4 along with its parent and three other varieties as control in rcbd experiment in sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university’s experimental field. m-80-709 and m-160-3429 mutant lines were sig...

mechanisms of drought stress tolerance of gf677 rootstock, peach and almond hybrid, (prunus persica × prunus amygdalus) were studied under in vitro conditions. plantlets of gf677 rootstock were subcultured into the murashige and skoog (ms) solid proliferation medium containing 1 mg/l ba (6-benzyladenine) and 0.1 mg/l naa (naphthaline acetic acid) in four drought stress levels 0 (control), 10, 2...
