FIRST REPORT OF LASIODIPLODIA THEOBROMAE AND COLLETOTRICHUM QUEENSLANDICUM, FOLIAR PATHOGENS OF BREADFRUIT (ARTOCARPUS ALTILIS) IN PUERTO RICO

Thin layer drying curves for shredded breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis)

A chart relating temperature and velocity to the drying time of single layered shredded breadfruit, Artocarpus altilis, is presented. Breadfruit, which can be dried and ground into gluten-free flour, was placed on screens in a controlled drying chamber. A design of experiment based on the independent variables of temperature (21, 40, 55°C), absolute humidity (0.01, 0.01125, 0.0125 kg/kg dry air...

Amino acid, fatty acid, and carbohydrate content of Artocarpus altilis (breadfruit).

A study is conducted to determine the amino acid, fatty acid, and carbohydrate content of breadfruit using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC). An HPLC method is used for the determination of amino acids and fatty acids in breadfruit. Representative amino acid samples are derivatized with phenylisothiocianate and the resulting phenylthiocarbamyl derivatives...

First Report of Dieback Caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae in Strawberry Plants in Korea

Dieback in strawberry (Seolhyang cultivar) was first observed during the nursery season (June to September) in the Nonsan area of Korea in the years 2012 and 2013. Initial disease symptoms included dieback on runners, as well as black rot on roots, followed by wilting and eventually blackened, necrotic discoloration in the crowns of daughter plants. A fungus isolated from the diseased roots, ru...

Chemical Constituents of Artocarpus altilis and Artocarpus odoratissimus

Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of the leaves of Artocarpus altilis yielded βsitosterol (1), unsaturated triglycerides (2), squalene (3), polyprenol (4), lutein (5) and unsaturated fatty acids. The structures of 1-5 were identified by comparison of their 1 H and/or 13 C NMR data with those reported in the literature. Chemical investigation of the dichloromethane extract of...
