HIGHLIGHTS Electrical conductivity (EC) and N:K ratios modify zucchini fruit size. Organoleptic characteristics of fruits increase with EC. Total dry mass production plants showed interaction between ratio

to investigate the effect of different concentrations (0, 0.01% and 0.02%) of salicylic acid (sa) on some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pomegranate fruit cultivar ‘malase yazdi’ at ripening,2 and 4month ofstorageat5°c, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block with three replications was conducted. quantitative characteristics including percentage of fruit weig...

abstract background and aim: reduction of dental plaque ph is an effective factor in the incidence of dental caries. one of the common methods for assessment of the cariogenic potential of food products is the study of plaque ph changes in the oral environment. the present study was performed due to the importance of dental plaque and its known complications and also the increase in consumption...

Lactobacillus plantarum BET003 isolated from Momordica charantia fruit was used to ferment its juice. Momordica charantia fresh juice was able to support good growth of the lactic acid bacterium. High growth rate and cell viability were obtained without further nutrient supplementation. In stirred tank reactor batch fermentation, agitation rate showed significant effect on specific growth rate ...

The compounds, lanthanium chromite, lanthanium magnetite and lanthanium ferric oxide were prepared through sol-gel methods in powdered form, then calcinated, peletized, and sintered at various temperatures. Electrical conductivity of these compounds was measured at various temperatures. The effectiveness of strontium as a dopant on electrical conductivity was also investigated. Electrical condu...

The Alicyclobacillus species, which are spore-forming acidophil bacilli, remain in fruit juices, survive through usual sterilizing conditions for acidic beverages, and may cause deterioration. A. acidoterrestris has a D95°C value of 5.3 min, a growth pH range of 2.5 to 5.5, and a growth temperature range of 20°C to 55°C. A major consequence of deterioration in fruit juice is production of guaia...

Passion fruit, a native of tropical America (Brazil), belonging to the family Passifloraceae is a high value and export oriented crop. Passion fruit stands out not only for its exotic and unique flavor and aroma but also for its amazing nutritional and medicinal properties. The name "passion fruit" is not derived from any aphrodisiac quality of the fruit but was named, reportedly, by Spanish Ca...

BACKGROUND Children in the United States do not consume the recommended amounts of fruit. The economic and dietary consequences of meeting the shortfall in fruit consumption have not been evaluated. METHODS Analyses were based on a nationally representative sample of 4-18 year-old children (n = 2,647) from the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The shortfall ...

UNLABELLED The disruption of plant cell walls during fruit juice processing results in the enzymatic formation of herbaceous-smelling green leaf volatiles (GLVs). Our objective was to assess the impact of thermal processing conditions on resulting levels of GLVs (hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, hexanol, cis-3-hexenol, and trans-2-hexenol), total phenols, monomeric anthocyanins, and percent polymeric ...

Juicers work by extracting the juice and some pulp from fruits and/or vegetables. Freshly squeezed juice is great for getting the vitamins, minerals, beneficial plant chemicals (phytochemicals), and carbohydrates that are extracted from a whole fruit. However, you won?t get much of the fiber, and depending on the fruit, you may not get any of it. Fiber [2] aids in the digestive process. It acts...
