The experiment was performed to evaluate the effect of GA3, 2,4-D on fruit growth and fruit quality of wax apple. The experiment consisted of Red A, Monulla, Atu, Red B cultivars. GA3 and 2,4-D were applied at the small bud and petal fall stage. Physiological, biochemical characters of fruit were recoded. The result showed application of GA3, 2,4-D greatly response in increasing fruit set for a...

abstract one of the most important cut foliage plants is strelitzia (strelitzia spp.) which has several usages. this research program was focused on increasing the vase life of strelitzia cut foliage in the normal storage condition. the experiment was arranged as completely randomized design with three replications. treatments included combinations of four different levels of gibberellic acid (...

BACKGROUND: Chicken meat is susceptible to microbial and chemical contamination and using antimicrobial agents helps to prolong its shelf-life. OBJECTIVES: This study focuses on the effect of chitosan-based coating and Trachyspermum ammi essential oil on qualitative properties of refrigerated chicken fillet meat. MATERIAL and METHODS: chicken fillets treated with chitosan solution (2 %wv-1) and...

Penicillic acid (PA), a mycotoxin, was originally isolated from the cultures of Penicillium puberulum. The present study was undertaken to find out the sublethal effect of penicillic acid mycotoxicosis on growth rate and immune status of broiler chicken. Forty eight day-old broiler chicks were randomly allotted to four groups of 12 birds each and fed with 0, 7.5, 15 and 30 ppm of penicillic aci...

Two white wine extracts rich in phenolic acids, caffeic acid and gallic acid were tested as inhibitors of the decrease of linalool in Muscat wine. Each wine extract was added at 60 ppm and each phenolic acid at 40 ppm. Immediately after the addition of each wine extract or phenolic acid, no effect on the concentration of linalool was observed, but it decreased from the initial 470.9 to 223.3 μg...

Jackfruit leaf extract was developed into a lotion preparation to increase skin moisture and prevent the from being exposed free radicals. The purpose of this study determine effect variations in stearic acid base on physical quality, differences antioxidant activity jackfruit preparations, best formula that can provide activity.Jackfruit obtained by maceration using 70% ethanol then formulated...

The objectives of this research were to study transfer and control of Escherichia coli O157:H7 during simultaneous washing of inoculated and uninoculated lettuce pieces and to determine the efficacy of antimicrobial agents (peroxyacetic acid, mixed peracid, and sodium hypochlorite) on reducing the transfer of E. coli O157:H7 through processing water with or without organic load. Lettuce leaf pi...

In this report a current mode bandgap with a temperature coefficient of 3 ppm for the range from -117◦C to 144◦C is presented. 2nd order curvature compensation is used by using a third BJT with a temperature constant current and a second error amplifier to get a nonlinear temperature coefficient current in extra to enhance the accuracy. The required minimum supply voltage is 1.3V for 3ppm and 1...

Artemia urmiana nauplii were enriched with three different concentrations (100, 200 and 300 ppm) of commercial emulsion, ICES/30/4 during two periods (12 and 24 h) to evaluate the enhancement of its Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFAs). This source was selected because of its high concentration of the longest chain HUFA's in the n-3 and n-6 series. When 24-h-old Artemia nauplii were enriched ...
