Pumpkin is a local food of Jember which the amount harvested area and productivity increasing every year. source beta carotene with relatively lower price than other sources. Diversification pumpkin-based products will produce nutritionally rich added value. Brownies are one bakery that can be processed 100% pumpkin flour as raw material, value done by diversifying it into semi-finished steamed...

There is an increasing demand for fibre rich food and food ingredients. In this study, pumpkin pulp, unripe banana pulp, unripe mango pulp and peel which are high in dietary fibre were processed into flour and substituted at 5% level for wheat flour in a composite flour crackers formulation. The control crackers comprised of 100% wheat flour. Sensory evaluation was conducted using a 9-point hed...

Several species from the Cucurbitaceae family including muskmelon, watermelon, cucumber, pumpkin, and squash were used to evaluate their tolerance in a laboratory test to two herbicides (Stomp and Acetochlor) widely used in crop cultivation. The effects of concentration and site of herbicide action on the length of primary roots and hypocotyls as well as seedling fresh weight were studied. The ...

Plant seed cells amass storage proteins that are synthesized on the endoplasmic reticulumn (ER) and then transported to protein storage vacuoles (PSVs). Many dicotyledonous seeds contain 11S globulin (11S) as a major storage protein. We investigated the accumulation behaviors of pea and pumpkin 11S during seed maturation and compared them with soybean 11S biogenesis (Mori et al., 2004). The acc...

PumpKin is a software package to find all principal pathways, i.e. the dominant reaction sequences, in chemical reaction systems. Althoughmany tools are available to integrate numerically arbitrarily complex chemical reaction systems, few tools exist in order to analyze the results and interpret them in relatively simple terms. In particular, due to the large disparity in the lifetimes of the i...

Yogurt is one of the functional foods obtained from fermented milk with help Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB). Several innovations were made to improve properties yogurt by adding ingredients rich in fiber, which pumpkin. The nutritional content pumpkin quite complete, and its utilization still minimal, so this has potential be developed as an alternative making yogurt. purpose study was determine ef...

Objective: In this study investigated effects of different amounts of pelleted manure with urea and micro elements on yield and seed quality of medicinal plants, pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo var. styriaca). Methods: The animal manure and urea as pellet with four levels (150 Kg urea, 50 Kg urea + 3.5 ton animal manure, 100 (Kg) urea+ 1.5 ton animal manure and 150 (Kg) urea+1.5 ton animal man...

The lobes of the NASA ULDB pumpkin-shaped super-pressure balloons are made of a thin polymeric film that shows considerable time-dependent behaviour. A nonlinear viscoelastic model based on experimental measurements has been recently established for this film. This paper presents a simulation of the viscoelastic behaviour of ULDB balloons with the finite element software ABAQUS. First, the stan...
