The location of wild and cultivated host plants by pepper weevil (Anthonomus eugenii Cano) may be aided by visual cues, the male-produced aggregation pheromone, herbivore-induced, or constitutive host plant volatiles. The attractiveness of constitutive plant volatiles to pioneer weevils is important in understanding, and perhaps controlling, dispersal of this insect between wild and cultivated ...

Pepper is one of the most famous and widespread spices in world. This commercial plant belongs to Piperaceae family. Depending on treatment which pepper fruit exposed, we distinguish between black, white green pepper. In this research, methanolic extracts different types (Piper nigrum) pink (Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi) were prepared. Maceration ultrasonic extraction used extract bioactive c...

Consumption of spiced foods or herbal drinks leads to greater thermogenesis and in some cases to greater satiety. In this regard, capsaicin, black pepper, ginger, mixed spices, green tea, black tea and caffeine are relevant examples. These functional ingredients have the potential to produce significant effects on metabolic targets such as satiety, thermogenesis, and fat oxidation. A significan...

Capsaicin has general impressive health benefits such as anticancer, stimulates digestion and enables weight loss. The aim of this study is to extract capsaicin from black pepper white by using polar (Ethanol) nonpolar (Acetone) solvents maximize the percentage yield capsaicin. effect temperature solid solvent ratioon investigated for extraction pepper. higher acetone than ethanol both at ratio...

We investigated energy metabolism enhancement by pepper by examining suppression of body fat accumulation in mice due to piperine (PIP) and black pepper (BP) intake. To induce adiposity, mice were fed a high-fat, high-sucrose (HFS) diet as a control diet for 4 weeks. Visceral fat weights decreased significantly in the mice fed diets of 0.03% and of 0.05% PIP. Body weight in the 0.05% PIP group ...

A digital image is often deteriorated by impulse noise that may occur during processes such as transmission. An impulse noise converts the pixel data in the image into black (0) or white (255) values at a random frequency and is also called salt-and-pepper noise. In this paper, we identify the details of pixels that have been damaged by impulse noise by analyzing the frequency of the noisy imag...

Carica papaya L. seeds have been used for decades in parts of Asia and South America as a vermifugal agent (ADEBIYI; GANESAN ADAIKAN; PRASAD, 2003). In addition, papaya seed preparations have been used in folk medicine due to its abortive properties and to favor a good menstrual flow (RAO; JAMIR, 1982). Apart from these uses, since papaya seeds have a spicy flavor, they are used to adulterate b...

For the implantation of one hectare black pepper (Piper nigrum), about 25 to 30 trees are removed from Amazon Forest produce tutors for pepper. As an alternative dead wooden stake (WS), there is sustainable cultivation with tree species, living supports (LS) gliricídia (Gliricidia sepium L.). However, inadequate technical information on effect species growth, physiology, and production c...
