BACKGROUND The health effects of Amaranth Oil (AO) are attributed to its specific chemical composition. That makes it an outstanding natural product for the prevention and treatment of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation-related pathologies such as sunburn, photoaging, photoimmunosuppression, and photocarcinogenesis. Most of the studies are taken on animal model, and there is a lack of research on the...

The work studied weight losses of harvested strawberries provided with protective edible coating. Coatings were produced by dipping strawberries in 50 % (w/w) starch-protein hydrolysate of Amaranth flour. Tests investigated influence of added glycerol (10 or 30 %) and dialdehyde starch (1 or 4 %) on barrier properties. A protective film was produced on the strawberries after drying 5 min. at 23...

Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats., or commonly Palmer amaranth, is an invasive plant species that has invaded many countries worldwide and causes significant yield losses to annual spring crops. amaranth biotypes were detected in maize sorghum fields Western Greece cotton Central 2020. The infestations recorded both inside the crops margins of fields, indicating could be characterized as weed for the...

Invasive species are a threat to every ecosystem. There is a strong incentive to predict which species will become invasive before they become too widespread and unmanageable. Different approaches have been advocated to assess invasive species potential. These include examining plant functional traits, quantifying competitive ability and phylogenetic comparison. In this study, we conducted expe...

The main value of amaranth lies in its ability to accumulate a large amount protein seeds and leaves. With seed content 15-18%, surpasses wheat (12-14%), rice (7-10%), maize (9-10%), other grain crops. purpose this study was establish the optimal sowing rates for under conditions Western Ukrainian Forest-Steppe zone. employed general scientific methods such as analysis, synthesis, experimentati...
