The relationships between rooting potential with endogenous phenolic compounds, nitrogen and soluble carbohydrates of cuttings for five olive cultivars (‘Rowghani’, ‘Dusti’, ‘Tokhmekabki’, ‘Konservalia’ and ‘Amigdalolia’) were investigated. Extracts of the leaves and the base of the cuttings were used for analysis of biochemical compounds. Results showed that there were significant differences ...

in this study, effect of exogenous putrescine on maintaining postharvest quality and antioxidant compounds of two broccoli cultivars, ‘general’ and ‘liberty’ during cool storage were investigated. broccoli branchlets were treated with 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mm putrescine. distilled water was used as control. treated florets were put into polyethylene bag and transferred to storage with 0°c and 90% rh. ...

Abstract. Purwoko T, Suranto, Setyaningsih R, Marliyana SD. 2021. Chlorogenic acid and caffeine content of fermented robusta bean. Biodiversitas 23: 902-906. Robusta beans contain chlorogenic higher than arabica beans, however, it has a lower economic value beans. Therefore, microorganisms in the bean for fermentation process are expected to reduce contents. The objective this research was inve...

The biogenesis of rosmarinic acid (alpha-O-caffeoyl-3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-lactic acid), the second most common ester of caffeic acid in the plant kingdom, was studied in Mentha arvense and Mentha piperita. Administration of (14)C-labelled compounds showed that, whereas the caffeoyl moiety was formed from phenylalanine via cinnamic acid and p-coumaric acid, the 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-lactic acid moie...
