In order to investigate the effects of different irrigation management on textural properties two double-cropping late Indica rice, three including conventional (CK), constant (CI) and alternate wetting drying (AWD) has been researched under field conditions years. The results indicated that firmness, cohesiveness chewiness were decreased AWD treatment, stickiness was increased compared ...

INTRODUCTION Acute coagulopathy of trauma (aCOT) is a state of disordered coagulation developing soon after severe injury and blood loss and has been defined in the clinical literature as an elevation in prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to develop a rat model of aCOT resulting from polytrauma and hemorrhage and sho...

abstract in this study, fresh pistachio of 'ohadi' and 'akbari' cultivars expose to the uv-c radiation with a wavelength of 0, 3, 6 and 12 kj/m2, then located at temperature of 1 ± 3 degrees celsius for 45 days. properties or attributes, including weight loss, stiffness and sensory evaluation of fresh pistachio after 20 and 45 days storage were measured. results showed that pistachio nut weight...

oxalate soluble pectin (osp) is related to fruit firmness with respect to the chelation of calcium ions with carboxyl groups of adjacent polyuronide chains. this study was carried out to explore the effect of time of fruit harvest, foliar spray with cacl2 during growing season on osp, polygalacturonase activity (pga), fruit firmness and the effects on fruit shelf life, quality and internal ...

Firmness is an important aspect of the quality of fresh tomatoes. Its measurement is necessary for quality control, as well as for postharvest studies to develop procedures for preparation and handling of fresh-cut tomato slices. This study had two objectives, to determine how initial ripeness and cutting affect the textural changes in tomato tissue during storage and to develop a method for me...

Pigs (n = 240) were allotted in a 5 x 2 factorial arrangement with 5 levels of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS): 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60%, and 2 ractopamine (RAC) levels: 0 and 5 mg/kg. Four pigs per pen (2 barrows, 2 gilts) closest to pen mean BW were used for meat quality evaluation. Loins (n = 119) were evaluated for objective color; moisture and fat; subjective color, marbling, an...
