Seaweeds are rich sources of bioactive natural products, which have been considered as potential biotic agents. Ulva flexuosa Wulfen is a species of seaweed which is endemic to the Persian Gulf. In this study, the effect of different concentrations of U. flexuosa extract on  the  antioxidant activity of Washington Navel orange (Citrus sinensis L. cv. Washington Navel)...

Thermo-chemical models of the dynamics of the internal differentiation of the Moon require accurate knowledge of the density of lunar minerals and melts at a range of high pressure, high temperature conditions. Here we present a comparative study of high-pressure, high-temperature density determinations of possible primitive lunar melts, as represented by volcanic glass beads sampled during the...

Background: Black spots are a major problem in commercial shrimp species and can have negative effects on shrimps' appearance, quality, shelf life, economic value, and product acceptance by consumers. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of orange peel extract on chemical and sensory qualities as well as black spots on Litopenaeus vannamei species of white farmed shrimp. Methods: ...

Sweet potatoes (SPs) are considered by the FAO as a primary crop for “traditional agriculture” in tropics, but Europe, its consumption is not widespread. However, consumer demand has grown exponentially over past five years. This study evaluated quality and nutrient contents of storage roots 29 SPs accessions to characterize their role improving human diet. Roots were analyzed nutraceuticals, s...

The popularity of edible flowers is increasing day by and new solutions are sought due to their short shelf life. For this purpose, in study, four different colors Viola × wittrockiana Gams.; white (Fino Clear White), orange (Delta Pure Orange), bordeaux/mauve rose (Mammoth Rocky Rose), yellow Premium Lemon) were dried at drying air temperature 60, 70, 80 °C with a convective hot dryer. Color (...

In this paper, a new iron-carbon micro-electrolytic filler for wastewater treatment was prepared using the blast furnace dust. The effects of preparation conditions on performance during were investigated. optimal obtained, which provided an experimental theoretical basis use metallurgical dust sludge in fillers. From results treating methyl orange-simulated with fillers different conditions, i...

BACKGROUND It is not known which of the commonly consumed fruits in Nigeria are suitable for persons with diabetes mellitus especially with regards to the attendant plasma glucose response (PGR) to consumption of such fruits. OBJECTIVES To determine and compare the PGR to commonly eaten fruits in patients with diabetes mellitus. METHODS Ten persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus were studied...

The present study was carried out to determine variations in flower and dye yield chemical contents of safflower genotypes with different colors 2017–2018. dyestuff yields the genotype ranged between 6.6–12.0 kg da−1 218.1–421.7 g da−1, respectively. TPC high antioxidant capacity values were listed according color as yellow > orange red white. Gallic, rosmarinic chlorogenic acid higher orang...
