background: white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) is a sensitive agricultural crop whose antioxidant properties are decreased during postharvest storage. in this study, the effect of citric acid dipping treatment on bioactive components and antioxidant properties of sliced button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) was investigated. methods: fresh mushrooms soaked in chilled citric acid solution a...

Objective: Polyphenol oxidase or PPO (EC 1.14.18.1) is considered the enzyme responsible for quality deterioration and browning in different fruits during postharvest period. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibrowning (inhibition of polyphenol oxidase activity) effect of Cysteine, Ascorbic acid, citric acid, kojic acid and glycine at two different pH (6 and 7) in  hawthorn. Me...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects ofcitric acid and phytase supplementation on performance, blood lipid profile, immune system and some carcass characteristics of broiler chickens.for this purpose 240, one-day old male broiler chicks were reared throughout 42 day production, in factorial experiment 2×2, including citric acid (0 and 1%) and phytase enzyme (0 and 500 ftu) based on ...

Citric acid is one of the most remarkable industrial goods fabricated by fermentation using filamentous fungus. When Aspergillus niger, a fungus, produced under suitable conditions, high amounts citric are obtained. This study aims to explain synthesis studied in biodisc reactor A. niger. Various physiological parameters have been investigated order determine optimum reactor. Optimum incubation...

Uranium as UO(2)(NO(3))(2) combines reversibly with proteins. The degree of dissociation of this combination depends, among other factors, on the H(+) concentration. At pH 7.3 the U-albumin complex was easily dissociated on addition of citrate, while at pH 3.8 it was not. Uranium inhibited reversibly a number of enzyme systems. Uranium enzyme inhibitions could be reversed on addition of certain...

Background: Summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) is one of the most important medicinal and spice plants cultivated in many parts of the world. Objective: A greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of FeSO4 and citric acid application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and its component, gamma-terpinene in S. hortensis. Methods: FeSO4 in four levels (0, 3, ...

Black garlic is produced by fermentation of raw under controlled conditions with high humidity and temperature. To date, many studies have been carried out on processing technology black but little known about the storage conditions, which are main indicators for affecting food quality garlic. Also knowing proper essential to meet requirements global domestic markets. Therefore, research aimed ...

for evaluation of citric acid and citrate effects on bovine epididymal protoplasmic droplets, fifty bovine testes were collected in the october 2007 till june 2008 from urmia slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory in a cool container filled with 5 °c ice pack. caudal epididymis was incised and sperm cells were put into petri dishes containing hams f10 media with 10% fetal calf serum (...

I acid is an important building block for the chemical industry. Currently, Aspergillus terreus is the main organism used for itaconic acid production. Due to the enormous citric acid production capacity of Aspergillus niger, this host is investigated as a potential itaconic acid production host. Several strategies have been tried so far: fermentation optimization, expression of cis-aconitate d...
