The study was conducted to investigate the potential of Parkia biglobosa fruit pulp as substrate for citric acid production by Aspergillus niger. Reducing sugar was estimated by 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid and citric acid was estimated spectrophotometrically using pyridine-acetic anhydride methods. The studies revealed that production parameters (pH, inoculum size, substrate concentration, incuba...

The author researches the impact of the second generation wavelet transform spectrometer data preprocessing navel orange sugar content and acidity Partial Least Squares (PLS) quantitative accuracy of the prediction model. This paper also collects the spectral date of one hundred navel oranges by visible/near-infrared diffuse reflectance detection technology and establishes the navel orange suga...

powdery mildew of sugar beet is a common disease in many sugar beet growing areas causing root yield and sugar content reduction. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different irrigation methods on powdery mildew severity in sugar beet. eight susceptible and resistant commercial cultivars were evaluated under sprinkler and furrow irrigation systems in a randomized complete bloc...

Conventional procedures are inadequate for optimizing the concentrations ofnutrients to increase the sugar yield. In this study, an artificial neural network(ANN) was used to optimize the Ca, Mg, N, K and Na content of the storage rootto increase sugar yield (Y) by increasing both sugar content (SC) and root yield(T). Data from three field experiments were used to produce a wide range ofvariati...

this study was carried out in the general commission for scientific agricultural research (gcsar) at der ez zour agricultural research center, during 2009- 2010 growing seasons. the role of na+, k+, na+/k+, carbohydrates accumulation of leaves, and sugar content of roots on the osmotic adjustment was studied in 10 sugar beet genotypes (five were monogerms and five were multigerms), under salini...

Total soluble solid (TSS) content is commercially used as fruit quality index because of its high positive correlation with sugar content. In the present study, The effect of foliar application of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100 mg.L-1) at 4 true leaf and fruit set stages and plant training (pruning and thinning) on TSS and soluble sugar (i.e. suc...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the sugar, energy and caffeine content of sugar-sweetened drinks marketed and consumed as energy drinks available in the UK. STUDY DESIGN We carried out a cross-sectional survey in 2015 and 2017 of energy drinks available in the main UK retailers. METHODS The sugar (sugars g/100 mL), energy (kcal/100 mL), caffeine (mg/100 mL) and serving size were collected from pr...

In most studies, moisture sorption into amorphous foods is expressed as a change in the bulk moisture content, which does not provide detail on how a moisture front moves into the food. This study was targeted towards characterization of the moisture behavior in amorphous saccharide materials of different molecular weight (MW), glass transition temperature (Tg) and moisture content. Various sug...
