studies had shown that oxygenated compounds were important in food products. It seems that Citrus species had a profound influence on this factor. The goal of the present study was to investigate on flavor components of two Citrus species. In the early week of June 2012, about 500 g of leaves were collected from many parts of the same trees. Leaf components were extracted using water distillati...

a t s In the state of Veracruz, Mexico, fruits from 38 sites at various altitudes were collected monthly over a period of 2 years, and the tephritid fruit flies of the genus Anastrepha and associated parasitoids that emerged rom these fruits were identified and counted. Of the 6 species of fruits that contained Anastrepha larvae, 18 species also contained a total of 10 species of Anastrepha par...

The relationship between carotenoid accumulation and the expression of carotenoid biosynthetic genes during fruit maturation was investigated in three citrus varieties, Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.), Valencia orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck), and Lisbon lemon (Citrus limon Burm.f.). We cloned the cDNAs for phytoene synthase (CitPSY), phytoene desaturase (CitPDS), zeta-carotene (car) des...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect irrigation with low- and high-salinity water on increment salts in soil, production components sour passion fruit leaching by rainfall fraction 10%. treatments were arranged randomized blocks, a split-plot scheme, corresponding three management practices [evaluation soil chemical attributes before irrigation; after low electrical c...

Understanding the spectral features of Washington navel trees is important to remotely measure and monitor the canopy properties and biochemical changes in plantations. Satellite and ground based passive remote sensing techniques have been widely used in many plant species. However, the use of these techniques in orange trees is limited. In this study, relationships between total chlorophyll (C...

Abstract. Yogurt with the use of coconut milk as raw material is known niyogurt or cocogurt. Coconut can be used a base for yogurt because it has same fat content in terms color and thickness similar to full cream milk. Preliminary research breed starter Streptococcus thermophilus Lactobacillus bulgaricus on media addition gradually. The results preliminary study showed that pH value cultures s...

opiine braconid parasitoids of tephritid pests have augmentative biological control potential, but there are no synthetic attractants to monitor their survival and dispersal following release. adults feed on fruit juices and these could be sources of attractive compounds. While orange juice (Citrus sinensis l.) is nutritious, guava juice (Psidium guajava l.) is toxic. the behavioral responses t...

HIGHLIGHTS Potassium does not attenuate the deleterious effects of salt stress on formation seedlings sour passion fruit. Water salinity increases percentage cell membrane damage in fruit seedlings. Salt inhibits growth but water with up to 3.5 dS m-1 can be used for its

We evaluated ameliorative effects of Jamun seed and orange peel extracts on liver toxicity in cypermethrin exposed rat. Methods: Rats were given following treatments daily for 30 d: Group A: Control Group B: Rats received cypermethrin Group C: These rats received cypermethrin and Jamun seed extract simultaneously Group D: These rats received cypermethrin and orange peel extract simultaneou...
