The comparative study of food fibers preparations (“Vitacel” – wheat fiber, beet fibers, calcium alginate, TIPRO 601 – native collagen protein, pork rin d) in a chronic biological experiment has shown that none of them had cumulative toxic effect, and possessed a low level of food sensibilization. Calcium alginate, native collagen protein and pork rind help to increase calcium content in bones ...

Extraordinary importance of Date-Palm, Phoenix dactylifera especially ‘Piarom’ variety and also undeniable effect of nitrogen and phosphorus on yield and quality of this product, caused this research to be accomplished. The research was performed during two years on 72 (4*3*3*2=72 trees) fruitful, 12 years old trees in Hormozgan province. Treatments were consisted of four levels of nitrogen (0,...

The suberized netting tissue on the surface of muskmelons is a remnant rind fragmentation caused by mechanical imbalance between expanding flesh meat and solidified epidermis during growth. appearance this pattern an important indicator for assessing quality muskmelons; however, very few quantitative studies have been conducted geometry netting. This study statistically analyzed areas fine frag...

Cultivated pepper (Capsicum annuum) is a phenotypically diverse species grown throughout the world. Wild and landrace peppers are typically small-fruited and pungent, but contain many important traits such as insect and disease resistance. Cultivated peppers vary dramatically in size, shape, pungency, and color, and often lack resistance traits. Fruit characteristics (e.g. shape and pericarp th...

High-performance liquid chromatography is used to determine the amino acid content of ripe and unripe ackee fruit. Specific emphasis is placed on the level of the toxic amino acid hypoglycin A (hyp-A) in the unripe and ripe ackee fruit and seed. Unripe samples are found to contain significantly higher quantities (P < 0.05) of hyp-A when compared with ripe samples. Uncooked unripe fruit is found...

Postharvest water loss in pepper fruit (Capsicum annuum L.) reduces its shelf life. Fruit texture is one of the most important components quality for consumers. In this study, anatomical traits related to postharvest and were assessed. There was a strong positive relationship between thickness cuticular membrane, weight, total cutin polysaccharide-cutan weight. An amorphous fibrous structure th...

In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to evaluate the genetic variability of yield contributing characters, and the genetic diversity in forty-four genotypes of okra collected from the IIHR, Bangalore, India. Analysis of variance indicated significant differences among the genotypes for different morphological characters. High GCV and PCV were observed for plant height, inter-n...
