determination of an optimum sample size for the evaluation of sugar beet quality is of vital importance. a desirable sugar beet sample could represent confidently the sugar content and quality of delivered beets to the sugar factories. this experiment was carried out at research station of kamalshahr, karadj, iran. the experimental field was about 2000 m2 with the distance between rows and plan...

Sugarcane bagasse contains cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose, 39-42%, 20-25% and 25-27% respectively. So it is can be used as a sugar source in many processes. Lignin and hemicellulose must be removed before hydrolysis of cellulose. Several different pretreatment approaches have been studied. The purpose of this research is comparison of acid, ozone and combination of ozone-acid as pretreatme...

Th e aim of this study was to analyze the chemical composition of apple purees of four diff erent apple varieties: ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Idared’, ‘Jonagold’ and ‘Cripps Pink’, in the fresh state (FP) and aft er thermal treatment by process of pasteurization with added green (PG) or white stevia powder (PW) derived from the leaves of the stevia plant. Also, to determine whether there is a signifi...

The paradox of secondary metabolites, toxic defence compounds produced by plants, in nectar and fruits is well known. Deterrence of feeding by nectarivorous and frugivorous birds is better understood than the effect of these chemicals on the digestive performance of birds. Digestive parameters such as transit time and sugar assimilation are important in assessing nutrient utilization and deterr...

Sweet corn (Zea mays L.) producers desire high yields and high sugar content in the endosperm. High irrigation levels result in high yield, but their effect on sugar content is unclear. The effects of two irrigation levels, standard and stressed on endosperm sugar content were evaluated using three sugary1 hybrids over 2 years. No significant differences were found among the treatments when ave...

in order to estimate the reducing sugar in tubers of potato by using a manual glucose determiner, an experiment was conducted in factorial arrangement based on completely randomized design with three replications. in this research reducing sugar of four cultivars of potato – agria, sante, with two methods: enzymatic and a manual glucose determiner. the results picaso and kizer – that maintained...

Aqueous extract of Scoparia dulcis could significantly reduce blood sugar levels in white rats which had been previously induced with diabetes by streptozotocin. Extract was administered at doses of 125 and 250 mg/kg body weight/twice a day respectively for a period of 3 weeks. Diabetic rats had much reduced body weight than normal rats. Administration of the extracts at the dose of 250 mg/kg b...

in process of sucrose determination in sugar beet, pulp analysis by polarometric method is done on the basis of fresh root weight .the volume of the juice of 26 grams of the pulp is considered 23 ml that with 177 ml of clarifying agent would be 200 ml. drought stress and dehydrated root reduce. the volume of the pulp extract of 23 ml. the objective of this experiment was to determine the proper...
