in order to investigate the effects of artichoke leaf powder and vitamin eon performance, internal organs relative weight and some blood parameters, 240 day-old quails were assigned to four treatments including, basal diet (control), basal diet supplemented with levels of 1.5 and 3 percent of artichoke leaf powder and basal diet supplemented with 300 mg/kg diet vitamin e with four replicates an...

Irrational use of chemical method for crop protection, presents increasingly serious risks human health and the environment. Droplet size meteorological parameters are key factors to both environmental contamination pest control efficacy. The objective this study is assess impact nozzle parameters, operating pressure wind speed on droplet foliage deposition (retention) soil (losses), when treat...

Potential prebiotic effect of globe artichoke by-product (Cynara cardunculus L.) was evaluated in vitro. Representative lactic acid bacteria from human colon, like Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium bifidum, were incubated up to 96 h with versus sucrose control. Low molecular weight carbohydrates (6.14% dw) raw extracted ethanol. Fermentability by monitoring growth, pH, short chain f...

This study looked at the best conditions for extracting bioactive compounds from globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus), such as total phenolics, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, and inulin. The obtained results showed that optimum extraction of phenolics flavonoids receptacle bracts artichoke, when applying maceration room temperature, with 70% methanol 4 h. Genstin was major phenolic co...

The metabolism of fructose has been studied with varying intensity and enthusiasm since Kulzu in 1874 first reported that diabetic patients were able to utilize fructose given orally better than other sugars. Although Naunyn' confirmed these results, he maintained that tolerance for fructose was eventually lost, and Joslin,11 as late as 1946, stated that in his experiments "at first the fructos...
