The nutritional, phytochemical, antioxidant and antibacterial activity of dried plum (Prunus domestica) were studied to understand its health benefits. The nutritional composition proved its potential as an energy source with low fat content. Protein and dietary fiber content obtained were 3.80% and 2.79% respectively. It was found to be a moderate source of minerals like magnesium, calcium, ir...

Natural olfactory stimuli are volatile-chemical mixtures in which relative perceptual saliencies determine which odor-components are identified. Odor identification also depends on rapid selective adaptation, as shown for 4 odor stimuli in an earlier experimental simulation of natural conditions. Adapt-test pairs of mixtures of water-soluble, distinct odor stimuli with chemical features in comm...
