Doogh is an Iranian traditional dairy-based drink product formally identified as Iranian national drink. This fermented acidified drink has high nutritional value and pleasant organoleptic properties. Samples (n= 120) collected from both industrial and traditional Doogh retail stores in Hamadan in 2015 were analyzed for total solids (%), pH, titratable acidity, salt (%), mold and yeasts count (...

In vitro growth of explant (juice vesicle or albedo tissues) cultures from citron (Citrus medica), lemon (C. limon), grapefruit (C. paradisi), sweet orange (C. sinensis), and mandarin (C. reticulata) fruits was stimulated by addition of orange juice (10% v/v optimum) to a basal medium containing Murashige and Skoog salts, 50 grams per liter sucrose, 100 milligrams per liter myo-inositol, 5 mill...

The rational use of nutrients is of fundamental importance for obtaining high productivity of high nutritional quality. This work was developed with the aim of evaluating the quality of pepper fruit grown under different fertigation managements and different levels of nitrogen and potassium. The experimental design was of randomised blocks in a 3 x 6 factorial scheme with four replications. The...

The alcoholic fermentative ability of yeast strains; Saccharomyces cerevisiae (isolated from yam), S. cerevisiae (from sugarcane molasses), S. carlsbergensis (from sugarcane molasses) and S. cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus (from orange juice) were examined on orange juice (Citrus sinensis). The quality of the wine produced on the basis of the acidity, ash content, vitamin C and the alcohol content...

The study evaluated the yield and biochemical attributes of eight sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) cultivars (CoPb-18211, CoPb-18212, CoPb-18213, CoPb-18214, CoPb-19211, CoPb-19212, CoPb-19213 CoPb-19214) in saline non-saline soils during 2019–20 at Punjab Agricultural University, farms village-Ruldu Singh Wala (Bathinda) village-Ratta Khera (Sri Muktsar Sahib). Soil salinity significantly ...

Fifteen collaborating laboratories were sent 9 samples of citrus juice mixtures as blind duplicates for determination of naringin and neohesperidin by liquid chromatography. Two sample pairs were 100% orange juice and did not contain any naringin or neohesperidin. The remaining 7 sample pairs contained naringin at levels ranging from 3.9 to 46.5 ppm and neohesperidin at levels ranging from 0.14...

INTRODUCTION One of the most frequent parents' concerns is that oral antibiotic formulations induce dental damage in their children's. This study aimed to assess the cariogenic and erosive potentials of 29 pediatric antibiotics. MATERIALS AND METHODS Replicates of each antibiotic were analyzed for the concentration of sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose) and sorbitol by high performance liq...

abstract: acidophilus milk after preparation, with the defined characteristics of ph, titratable acidity and viable counts of lb. acidophilus, was kept at the refrigerator (5 °c) and changes of above mentioned parameters were evaluated during 21 days at 7-day intervals. the obtained results showed that the titratable acidity of product significantly (p≤0.05) increased over storage period, demon...

The postharvest treatments included control, low temperatures (14 and 18°C) and plastic bags with or without perforations. Changes in different physico-chemical characteristics of fruits were studied during storage. The two factor experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with three replications of 10 fruits. Among the physico-chemical parameters, colour, firmness, total weight lo...
