we sought to determine levels of oral bioaccessibility of hydroxymethylfurfural (hmf) from frequently consumed dried fruits in iran. fifty samples from frequently consumed types of dried fruits were analyzed for moisture, acidity and hmf content before and after in vitro digestion. besides, bioaccessibility of hmf in dried fruits using an in vitro gastrointestinal digestive model and hmf intake...

Tomato fruits grown in greenhouses were collected from Al–Karj region during summer 2008. Seven bacterial isolates that characterized as Gram negative, short rod–shaped, yellow-pigmented bacterium were isolated and recovered from the internal discoloration tissue of there collected fruits. Symptoms of infected fruits were blackening of the vascular vessels of tissue reached to seeds and lack an...

Sweet pepper production is characterized by large fluctuations in fruit yield per week. Synchronization of yield patterns between nurseries in response to weather conditions leads to variations in market supply and affects price formation. In order to improve supply chain efficiency, auctions and wholesalers require nurseries to supply production forecasts several weeks in advance. At the nurse...

The INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ABSCISSION (IDA) controls floral organ abscission in plants. IDA belongs to IDA-LIKE (IDL) gene family that is involved regulation of Arabidopsis development. Herein, we identified three genes, CoIDA1, CoIDA2 and CoIDA3 Camellia oleifera (Camellia Abel. cv. Huashuo) suggested their involvement the fruits abscission. full-length cDNA sequences were 207 bp, 276 bp 2...

Participation in global trade means that China’s vegetables and fruits industry faces international food safety standards and increased scrutiny worldwide. The objectives of this paper were to investigate how existing food safety standards and regulations in the importing countries impact the export of vegetables and fruits from China. This paper discussed the current and historical situations ...

Introduction Abstract: We investigated the extent of multiple paternity within and between fruits of the common milkweed, Asclepias syriaca, at one site. Using isozyme polymorphisms at four loci and the maximum likelihood methods of Williams and Evarts (1989), we found no statistical evidence for multiple paternity within fruits. When pairs of fruits obtained from individual ramets were analyze...

Gleditsiae Fructus Abnormalis and Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus are obtained from different developmental stages of fruits from Gleditsia sinensis Lam. (Leguminosae). The possible interchangeable usage of the two fruits, however, has long been very controversial. Here, high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection was developed to explore their chemical fingerprinting ...
