Sliced eggplant was pretreated (blanching and citric acid dip), -dried (oven sun), then pulverized to flour. Physicochemical antioxidant properties were evaluated using standard methods. The results showed increases in protein, moisture, fat, ash, crude fiber, carbohydrate contents. They ranged from 7.78–8.39%, 8.90–10.14%, 4.32–5.28%, 0.77–0.91%, 10.72–13.43%, 63.35–65.77%, respectively. Citri...

Maize is an important cereal produced for food and feed its nutritional composition viability could be affected when subjected to inappropriate drying conditions. This study investigated the effects of temperature on proximate maize grains dried at different levels in a solar biomass hybrid dryer. Proximate analysis was performed using standard A.O.A.C. methods. Germination test done sterilized...

The use of heat exchangers for the process energy conversion from rice husks to thermal as an alternative replacing sun drying. Drying with husk and exchanger does not depend on weather. To determine effectiveness this dryer, a evaluation was carried out drying chamber sample 4 kg shelled corn. test results showed increase in temperature 112.31%. occurred average environmental 30.30oC room 64.3...

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...

in extant islamic manuscripts we can find some observation reports of a black dot on the surface of the sun. these reports add that this dot should be the planet venus or mercury, transiting over the sun, showing that both of them are below the sphere of the sun. the research made so far on ibn sina’s report shows that it might relate to a really observed venus transit. quṭb al-dīn al-shīrāzī (...
