Watercress (Nasturtium officinale) colour changes due to blanching by heat and a combined treatment of heat/ultrasound (thermosonication) were studied in the temperature range of 82.5 to 92.5 °C. The application of thermosonication was intended to enable less severe blanching treatments and, therefore, improve the quality of the blanched product. The thermosonication blanching processes promote...

Heavy metals are elements that mainly have a 5-22 gr.cm-3 specific gravity. Some of these essential micronutrients for plant growth (Such as Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni) and Cobalt (Co)). other heavy metals, high toxicity properties such Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) Mercury (Hg). In order to investigate the potential watercress (Nasturtium officinale) in uptake from nutrient s...
