ABSTRACT Vitamin A deficiency is common in developing countries. Sweet potato can be an ally reversing this situation since it has a low acquisition cost and high market availability. In addition, some genotypes have orange-flesh roots, rich beta-carotene, which the precursor of vitamin A. Thus, objective research was to select orange-fleshed sweet using two selection indices (Smith Hazel Mulam...

Conversion of agricultural residues into valuable products has become an important study in the industry. Generally, they are made up lignocellulose biomass which requires a particular method such as pretreatment to enhance desired yield produce end product. However, pumpkin is commercialized very little way Malaysia, and their processing generates tons seeds peels byproducts. Not mention fact ...

Aristolochia longa L. is a plant native to Algeria and Morocco that has been used by the locals combat different arrays of infections diseases found among them. This particular well-known for its therapeutic qualities could be traced back presence many effective phytochemicals have extrapolated from parts plant, like leaves roots: flavonoids, saponins, tannins, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, β-carotene...

Background: The radioprotective effect of Grewia asiatica fruit (GAE) which contains anthocyanin type cyanidin 3- glucoside, vitamin C, A, minerals, carotenes and dietary fibers etc was studied. Materials and Methods: For study Swiss albino mice were divided into five groups-1. Control (vehicle treated) 2. GAE treated (700 mg / Kg. b.wt / day for fifteen days), 3. Irradiated (5 Gy), 4. G...

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the radioprotective effect of Grewia asiatica fruit pulp extract (GAE) on Swiss albino mice exposed to gamma radiation. In the present study radioprotective efficacy of Grewia asiatica (rich in anthocyanin, carotenes, vitamin C, etc.) was studied against radiation induced biochemical alterations in mice cerebrum. Materials and Methods: Fo...

To advance our understanding of the molecular biochemistry fungi which impact cultural heritage in libraries, museums and archives we investigated diagnostic capacity Raman spectroscopy to identify composition colored chromophores on paper. In this study explored resonant distinguish fungal filaments stimulated grow paper under high humidity with a focus characterizing Alternaria group species....

This research aimed to compare some physicochemical and antioxidant properties in vegetables (chard, beet, coriander, spinach, lettuce, radish, carrot, tomato) of ecological commercial production. The products were cultivated obtained from three harvests an ecology garden with standardized methodologies for implementation while the samples a local supplier. On same purchase or harvest day, colo...
