Fruits Preserved with Sugar

Application to temperature - independent measurement of sugar con - tent of intact fruits

NIR spectrometry would present a high potential for online measurement if the robustness of multivariate calibration was improved. The lack of robustness notably appears when an external parameter varies-e.g. the product temperature. This paper presents a prepro-cessing method which aims at removing from the X space the part mostly influenced by the external parameter variations. This method es...

Inter-Species Comparative Analysis of Components of Soluble Sugar Concentration in Fleshy Fruits

The soluble sugar concentration of fleshy fruit is a key determinant of fleshy fruit quality. It affects directly the sweetness of fresh fruits and indirectly the properties of processed products (e.g., alcohol content in wine). Despite considerable divergence among species, soluble sugar accumulation in a fruit results from the complex interplay of three main processes, namely sugar import, su...

Preserved Ovarian Function Following Toxicity with Doxorubicin in Rats: Protective Effect of Nasturtium Officinale Extract

Background: Chemotherapy agents can cause ovarian dysfunction and eventually lead to infertility. This study investigated the effect of nasturtium officinale extract on the ovarian function following the toxicity induced by doxorubicin in female rats. Methods: Forty eight female Wistar rats (180-210g) were randomly divided in six groups as follows: Group I, normal rats receiving 1ml normal sal...
