the present study was designed to evaluate blood factors in the flower horn fishes that were fed with different levels of hydrolyzed cow skin. 216 fishes with average weight and length, respectively, 0.95 ± 0.2 (g) and 3.7 ± 0.2 (cm) during the 100-days period of experiment were fed. results showed that in the treatments fed diets containing 40% hydrolyzed cow skin, number of rbc with mean  (2....

Grape berries harbor a wide range of microbes originating from the vineyard environment, many of which are recognized for their role in the must fermentation process shaping wine quality. To better clarify the contribution of the microbiome of grape fruits during wine fermentation, we used high-throughput sequencing to identify bacterial and fungi communities associated with berries and musts o...

Berry color is one of the main fruit attributes that affect the marketability of Thompson seedless grapes. Yellowish berries are more desired by consumers especially at the beginning of the season. Consumers in many European countries have been demanding yellowish berries of “Thompson” seedless grapes. Ethrel was found to enhance the breakdown of chlorophylls and the formation of carotenes. How...

Our laboratory is developing a food-based approach to the prevention of esophageal and colon cancer utilizing freeze-dried berries and berry extracts. Dietary freeze-dried berries were shown to inhibit chemically induced cancer of the rodent esophagus by 30-60% and of the colon by up to 80%. The berries are effective at both the initiation and promotion/progression stages of tumor development. ...

Recent advances have been made in our scientific understanding of how berries promote human health and prevent chronic illnesses such as some cancers, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Cancer is rapidly overtaking heart disease as the number one killer disease in developed countries, and this phenomenon is coupled with a growing aging population and concomitant age-related diseases...

Aronia melanocarpa (A. melanocarpa) berries are a fruit with a marked antioxidant effect. The objective of this study was to confirm the effect of A. melanocarpa berries extract against scopolamine-induced memory impairment in mice using the Morris water maze and passive avoidance test. Moreover, we determined a possible mechanism of the cognitive-enhancing effect involving AChE activity and BD...
