Utilization of Solanum lycopersicum L. and its varieties contribute to plant biotechnology study the effect genes flower transition events. This aims optimize media light intensity for in vitro flowering a cherry tomato variety. Induction was carried out using seven types combined with 3 intensities, followed by feeding adding liquid medium MS+PBZ 1 mg/L. A positive response is shown at 2,600 l...

The antimicrobial property is the key feature of active packaging. Biological macromolecules such as tannic and gallic acids are naturally found in plants tea, fruits, berries, grapes. incorporation acid (TA) (GA) biodegradable polymer blend Poly Lactide-Poly (Butylene Adipate-Co-Terephthalate) (PLA-PBAT) was used this study to assess potential TA GA (10 wt%) composite films showed a 65%–66% in...

This paper was aimed at characterizing the wine obtained from Oblačinska, a native sour cherry cultivar. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper with the most comprehensive information on chemical characterization of Oblačinska sour cherry wine. The chemical composition was characterized by hyphenated chromatographic methods and traditional analytical techniques. A total of 24 com...

The concentrations of heavy metals of Cd, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn were determined in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. butrytis L.), carrot root (Daucus carota L.), tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculenta Mill.), onion bulb (Allium cepa L.) and leafy cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capital capitata L.), and the respective soils from Morogoro region, Tanzania. The accumulated heavy metals were quant...

Introduction There is consistent evidence that consumption of tomatoes and tomato products may reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer, especially advanced and aggressive prostate cancer [1]. Even after diagnosis of prostate cancer, consumption of tomatoes and tomato products may reduce the risk of prostate cancer recurrence, progression and death [2]. The protective effects of tomatoes a...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tart cherry juice on serum uric acid levels, hepatic xanthine oxidoreductase activity and two non-invasive biomarkers of oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity and malondialdehyde concentration), in normal and hyperuricemic rats. Tart cherry juice (5 ml/kg) was given by oral gavage to rats for 2 weeks. Allopurinol (5 mg/kg) was used a...

The use of vacuum infiltration in the food industry has several advantages, such as improving quality, eliminating chemical treatment requirements, stabilizing products, and retaining nutrients during storage processing. This study was performed to optimize level (516-684 mmHg), time (10-20 min), calcium chloride (CaCl2) concentration (0.58- 1.42%) using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). firm...

Determination of S-allele combinations of sweet cherry genotypes and cultivars has importance for both growers and breeders. We determined S-allele combinations of 40 local Turkish sweet cherry genotypes using a PCR-based method. Ten different S-alleles were detected. Although the most common S-allele was S3, as also found in Western genotypes and cultivars, there were some differences in the f...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a combination of a 1% calcium chloride dip with low dose irradiation on microbial populations, and biochemical and physical properties, of fresh diced tomatoes during a two-week storage period. Vine tomatoes at the light-red stage (trial 1) and Celebrity tomatoes at the table ripe stage (trial 2) were diced, dipped in 1% CaCl(2), and irra...
