A GC/FID methodology for determination of twenty-one free amino acids in quince fruit (pulp and peel) and jam is described. The sample preparation was simple, involving a SCX Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) purification step and a fast derivatization with ethyl chloroformate for gas chromatographic analysis. The chromatographic separation was achieved using a CP-Sil 19 CB wcot fused-silica capilla...

Turkey has very rich quince genetic resources, and the country currently dominates world quince production. In particular, the northeastern part of the country has notable Cydonia oblonga Mill. germplasm. Authenticating the identity of germplasm resources of C. oblonga Mill. would be of great value for breeding practices. In the present study, genetic variations of 14 C. oblonga Mill. genotypes...

Tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP) obtained from the seed kernel of Tamarindus indica, possesses properties like high viscosity mucilage, broad pH tolerance, no carcinogenicity, mucoadhesive nature, and biocompatibility. It is used as stabilizer, thickener, gelling agent, and binder in food and pharmaceutical industries. The objective of present investigation was to search for a cheap and effec...

Coffee pulp, mucilage, and beans with mucilage were used to develop alcoholic beverages. The pulp of 45.3% 54.7% seed, 9.4% only obtained during the wet processing coffee. Musts prepared for all TSS (Total soluble solid) 18 °Bx fermentation was carried out 12–16 days until decreased 5 at 30 °C. Phenolic characteristics, chromatic structures, chemical parameters, sensory characteristics analyzed...

The codling moth Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera Tortricidae) is a key pest of pome fruit (apple, pear and quince) and walnut orchards in most temperate regions of the world (Barnes 1991; CABI 1995). The moth has followed the spread of the apple tree Malus pumila Miller around the world, and

Background: Mucilage is an important polysaccharide with a broad range of physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity that widely used for various applications in the medicine food industries. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate effect extraction method on mucilage extracted from yellow brown flaxseeds. Methods: was by different methods: heating, sonotrode, bath sonication. The eval...

Pectins are complex polysaccharides that form the gel matrix of the primary cell wall and are abundant in the middle lamella that holds plant cells together. Their degree of methylesterification (DM) impacts wall strength and cell adhesion since unesterified pectin regions can cross-link via Ca(2+) ions to form stronger gels. Here, we characterize flying saucer1 (fly1), a novel Arabidopsis thal...

A study was carried out to determine the influence of mucilage viscosity on the globule structure (i.e. size and number) of certain starch emulsions. The starches investigated were cassava, potato and maize. The emulsions were prepared by mixing the starch mucilage of a predetermined concentration 4%w/v with arachis oil in the ratio 50:50, using a silverson mixer fitted with a dispersator head....

With the increasing interest in polymers of natural origin, the pharmaceutical world has compliance to use most of them in their formulations. Moreover, the tremendous orientation of pharma world towards these naturally derived polymers has become a subject of increasing interest to discover, extract and purify such compounds from the reported origin. In the present review we have discussed muc...
