The effect of temperature (35, 50, and 60°C) on the rehydration behavior of microwave-dried amaranth (Amaranthus dubius) leaves was investigated. Leaves were dried at 700 W power level before rehydrating in water. The higher the rehydration temperature, the higher the equilibrium moisture content of the leaves, although the effect was not statistically significant. The increase in rehydration r...

H edge funds often make headlines because of spectacular losses or spectacular gains. In September 2006, a large hedge fund, Amaranth, reported losses of more than $6 billion apparently incurred in only one month, representing a negative return over that month of roughly 66 percent. Earlier in the year, newspapers focused on the $1.4 billion compensation in 2005 of hedge fund manager Boone Pick...

Abstract This paper analyses the use of metaphor in discourses around “superweed” Palmer amaranth. Most weed scientists associated with US public agricultural extension system dismiss term superweed. However, together media, they indirectly encourage aggressive control practices by actively diffusing framing herbicide resistant amaranth as an existential threat that should be eradicated at any ...

Amaranth grain is a promising pseudocereal, and milled amaranth products as ingredients may improve the nutritional value of food products. Twenty from different Ukrainian varieties such Kharkivs’kyi-1, Liera, Sem (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.), Ultra hybridus fractions (flour, middling, coarse seed coat, fine coat) were analysed in this study. whole has 2-3- 20-fold content manganese, iron, c...

Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) is a possible alternative to high-nutritional-value crops. seeds are considered be one of the few sources phytosqualene (up 8%). The use squalene and its hydrogenated form squalane in skincare formulations has been steadily increasing, demand for these compounds expected rise continuously. aim this study was investigate amaranth oilseed as potential ingredient cos...

Amaranth is a pseudo-grain with high grain yield that can withstand extreme climatic and soil conditions. also has good nutritional qualities levels of protein, minerals fat compared to commonly used grains such as corn. contains 16/100 g 173 mg / 100 calcium, 35 iron, 3 zinc higher potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, vitamins A E folic acid than cereals. Consuming this helps in improv...

Herbicide efficacy is known to be influenced by temperature, however, underlying mechanism(s) are poorly understood. A marked alteration in mesotrione [a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitor] efficacy on Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson) was observed when grown under low- (LT, 25/15 °C, day/night temperatures) and high (HT, 40/30° C) temperature compared to optimum ...

The nutritional value of gluten-free products is the subject of interest for food technologists and nutritionists, as the only effective treatment for celiac disease is a lifelong gluten-free diet. As selenium deficiencies in celiac disease are observed, the aim of the study was to determine the selenium content in 27 grain gluten-free products available on the European Union (EU) market. Moreo...

The effect of popping and fermentation on protein quality of three different varieties of amaranth grains cultivated in Ethiopia was evaluated. Total lysine content of the grains was higher than that of commonly available cereals but close to that of legumes. Methionine and cysteine contents in the grains were also higher than that found in cereal and legume proteins. Percentage of total indisp...
