Quantification of Sterol Contents in Almond (PrunusamygdalusL.) Oils

In this study, the sterol contents of almond kernel oils collected from naturally growing almond trees in Mersin province were determined. Generally, the sterol contents of almond oil samples varied depending on almond types. The major sterols in almond oils wereß-sitosterol, 5-avenasterol and campesterol, followed by 5,24-stigmastadienol, stigmasterol, sitostanol, and cholesterol. W...

Effect of foliar application of naphthalene acetic acid and plant thinning on sugar contents of melon (Cucumis melo) fruit cv. Khatooni. Taher Barzegar*, Meysam Eliyasi Moghaddam and Zahra Ghahremani

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...
