Fruit composition of four South African-grown kiwifruit cultivars

Chemical composition and nutritive value of four varieties of cassava leaves grown in South-Western Nigeria.

The nutritive value of leaves of four varieties of cassava - MS 6, TMS 30555, Idileruwa and TMS 30572 was evaluated based on their chemical composition and in vitro fermentation. Crude protein (CP) contents of cassava leaves ranged from 177 to 240 g/kg dry matter (DM), with TMS 30555 showing the highest CP contents. Neutral detergent fibre (NDFom) and acid detergent fibre (ADFom) contents of ca...

Composition of South African Final Molasses

A survey has been carried out on the composition of final molasses from South African sugar factories. Regional and seasonal trends in various parameters have been noted, and the degree of exhaustion of the molasses has been commented upon. Included in the survey are data on the nonsucrose constituents of molasses, and the inorganic ash components. Comparisons are made with a similar survey con...

Physicochemical changes of leaf in different position and fruit in four edible fig cultivars

Fig is one of the first plants cultivated by humans that has global expansion. This study was conducted to investigate the physicochemical changes in different position of leaf (2 year cutting, Leaf next to immature syconium, Leaf next to ripe fruit, Leaf next to overripe fruit, Leaf next to fallen fruit) and fruit in four edible cultivars (Matti, Shah-Anjir, Sabz, Siah) as factorial experiment...

The comparison of carbohydrate and mineral changes in three cultivars of kiwifruit of Northern Iran during fruit development

According to the result of this study, there was a significant increase in the amount of sugars including rhamnose, glucose and mannose from October for Abbot and Hayward and from August for Allison until harvesting time (late November). During one month of post harvesting time, the fruits showed no significant changes in sugar concentration except for the Hayward that showed a significant incr...
