the pomegranate seeds of four iranian commercial varieties  (abanmahi (ab), malas (ms), pust sefid (ps) and shahvar (sh)) were evaluated in terms of some quality properties including protein, oil, dietary fiber, mineral contents and fatty acid composition. physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of pomegranate seed oils (psos) were also determined. the oil antioxidant activity was m...

soy flour is the least processed form of soy protein products which has become increasingly popular in food technology for its nutritional benefits, low cost and good functional properties. the aim of this study was to investigate functional properties of soy flours produced by four different industrial processes: defatted, defatted and toasted, low fat, and full fat soy flours. because of diff...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a tree with significant economic value and usage for human health and various food industries. However, fresh walnut kernels are a less widespread product than the dried kernels. This study aimed to determine the fresh walnut kernel properties including, fatty acid composition, proximate composition, total phenolics (TPs), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), acidic, p...

seed protein quality is an important topic in the production of soybean. the quality of soybean proteins is limited by anti-nutrient proteins and low levels of essential sulfur amino acids. in this study, protein content and solubility of six cultivars were evaluated and seed storage proteins were analyzed using sds-page and scanning densitometry. the results showed that seed storage protein ba...

light, amber and dark colored kernels were rated by eye on a scale of 3 different genotypes (zh1, zh2 and zh3). the oil content was measured using the soxhlet extraction method, ranged from 57.26 to 68.29%, for zh1 (light) and zh2 (amber) respectively. fatty acid compositions were measured using gas chromatography. the main fatty acids were linoleic, oleic and linolenic acids, respectively. als...

Rice (Oryza sativa) is susceptible to damage during storage including quantity and quality. for a long time will experience decrease in quality both chemically physically. This study was aims determine the chemical physical properties of rice attacked by lice (Sitophyllus oryzae sp). The experiment arranged Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with treatments form samples commercial rice, ...
