The effect of processing on the biochemical contents of Acanthus montanus leaves was investigated. The moisture, crude protein, lipid, fiber, ash, and total carbohydrate contents of the raw vegetable were 59.15, 1.85, 2.32, 3.76, 2.04, and 34.65 g/100 g, respectively. The saponin, alkaloid, tannin, flavonoid, phenol, and anthocyanin contents of the raw vegetable were 5.35, 4.04, 1.10, 3.53, 2.8...

The unpredictable rise and frequent scarcity of fossil fuel accelerated the continuous search for an alternative power source. Solar is one of the renewable and sustainable sources of power that attracted a large community of researchers from all over the world. This is largely due to its abundant in both direct and indirect form. As such the development of efficient and inexpensive equipment f...

Inulin has immense applications in health and nutrition as well as in food industries. Inulin is isolated from chicory roots by differential precipitation with ethanol (0-20, 20-40 and 40-60 per cent) from the aqueous extract of sun-dried roots, by melting the frozen chicory root extract and by removing the oligo-fructosachharides from chicory roots with 20 per cent ethanol. Different inulin pr...

this study was carried out to evaluate the chemical compoition of alosa caspia and results compared with clupeonella engrauliformis which is a common fish catch among clupeonella and clupeidae spp in caspian sea . results showed that the amount of fat, protein, ash and dry matter in alosa was higher than clupeonella. the fatty acid composition showed that the epa was very high in alosa that sho...
