Coating is one of the methods to prevent postharvest loss in food industry. Propolis seems be promising as a coating due its waxy properties, high antifungal activity and less toxicity. In this study, propolis ethanol extract were tested for against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, causative fungus that caused anthracnose disease on banana (Musa acuminata). All samples artificially inoculated wi...

The peel volatile constituents and juice quality parameters of four tangerine cultivars were investigated in this study. Peel flavor constituents were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. Then all analyzed by GC-FID and GC-MS. Total soluble solids, total acids, pH value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from tangerine cultivars. F...

the effects of mandarin scions on peel components and juice quality parameters were investigated in this study. peel flavor components were extracted by using cold-press and eluted by using n-hexane. then all analyzed by gc-fid and gc-ms. total soluble solids, total acids, ph value, ascorbic acid as well as density and ash were determined in juice obtained from mandarin scions. twenty-seven, tw...

The purpose of this study was the evaluation of performance of extended aeration biological system in pollutants remova...

The application of lanthanum modified bentonite (Phoslock®) and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is popular in the restoration European temperate lakes; however, effects on concentrations phosphorus (P) both water sediments have been poorly evaluated to date. We studied Phoslock® + PAC total (TP), particulate (PP), soluble reactive (SRP), suspended solids (TSS) chlorophyll a (Chla) water, different...

effect of foliar spraying by humic acid on mineral leaf composition, yield and fruit quality of apple (malus domestica l. cv. ‘granny smith’) was studied. an experiment based on randomized complete design was conducted in khorramdare city of zanjan province. spraying of humic acid was conducted in four levels 0, 5, 10 and 15 mg/l on eight year-old ‘granny smith’ apples grafted on mm106 rootstoc...

The environmental problems of paper board industry are not limited by the high water consumption, generate wastewaters and solid wastes. This paper presents the paper board industry effluent treatment plant components performance and physio-chemical characteristics of wastewater and sludge. In ETP operation most important factors is effluent characterization, flow rate, aeration tank dissolved ...

background and objectives: fast proteolysis of cheese in ripening process may lead to the premature attack of casein, release of the majority of enzymes into the whey, and loss of cheese composition from curd to whey. in this study, the effect of liposomal flavourzyme on proteolysis of iranian white brined cheese, as well as on the yield and composition of whey and curd was investigated. materi...
