Bacterial Diversity in Some Selected Agricultural Food Products

A total of 27 bacterial strains were isolated from apple, potato, turnip, onion, cucumber, zinger, lemon, spinach, radish and mint marketted in Labore, Pakistan. Highest frequency of occurrence (4%) was recorded for each of Enterobacter aggglomerans, Ensifer adhaerens and Bordetella pertussis, Brassica rapa and Kurthia gibsonii showed 30% frequency of occurrence. Frequency of all other bacteria...

A Review of Pesticide Residues in Agricultural and Food Products of Iran

Background & Objectives: The implementation of pest control strategies is essential for reducing food waste and providing fresh safe food product. However, the excessive and uncontrolled usage of pesticides have caused serious environmental and health problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of pesticide residues in food products in Iran via exploring the relevant published wor...

Evaluation of Thermal Conductivities of Some Selected Powdered Food Products and Their Mixtures

This paper reports on the experimental determination of the thermal conductivities of some selected powdered food stuffs and their mixtures. The foodstuffs considered are: guinea corn flour, rice flour, maize flour, beans flour, cassava flour and yam flour. One to one mixtures of these foodstuffs were made in equal ratios to give mixtures of rice and beans flour, cassava and guinea corn flour a...

Bacterial diversity in agricultural soils during litter decomposition.

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of amplified fragments of genes coding for 16S rRNA was used to study the development of bacterial communities during decomposition of crop residues in agricultural soils. Ten strains were tested, and eight of these strains produced a single band. Furthermore, a mixture of strains yielded distinguishable bands. Thus, DGGE DNA band patterns were use...
