The aim of this study was to determine the apparent digestibility coefficients and digestible values crude protein, ethereal extract, gross energy dry matter mulberry leaf meal (MLM) (Morus alba L.) as Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) feed. A total 135 juveniles were used, indirect methodology (Cr2O3) applied for determinations. Mulberry leave presented good extract with respective 0.94, 0....

The primary metabolites in aqueous extract of mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves were characterized by using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) spectroscopy. With the convenience of resonance assignment, GABA together with the other 10 primary metabolites was simultaneously identified and quantified in one ¹H-NMR spectrum. In this study, external calibration curves for metabolites were emp...

Many traditional treatments have been recommended in the alternative system of medicine for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Mulberry (Morus alba) is a nontoxic natural therapeutic agent shown to possess hypoglycemic, hypotensive, and diuretic properties. Th e purpose of this study was to examine the histopathologic eff ects of Morus alba leaf extract on the pancreas of diabetic rats. Th e a...

Chemometrics methods coupled with hyperspectral imaging technology in visible and near infrared (Vis/NIR) region (380-1030 nm) were introduced to assess total soluble solids (TSS) in mulberries. Hyperspectral images of 310 mulberries were acquired by hyperspectral reflectance imaging system (512 bands) and their corresponding TSS contents were measured by a Brix meter. Random frog (RF) method w...

Chalcone synthase (CHS) is an essential enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway that catalyzes the first step in flavonoid biosynthesis in plants under diverse environmental stress. We have used CHS as a candidate gene in mulberry and developed Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) based co-dominant Cleaved Amplified Polymorphic Sequence (CAPS) marker associated with the CHS locus. The segregation...

Antibacterial and pH-responsive composite films for active food packaging were fabricated based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), cassava starch, ethyl lauroyl arginate (LAE), mulberry anthocyanin. With the incorporation of LAE anthocyanin, PVA/starch blend exhibited a less compact more heterogeneous surface structure. The tensile strength elongation at break not significantly affected when anthocyan...

During the last decade, there is increasing evidence indicating the beneficial role plant rich phytochemicals for the treatment of oxidative stress-induced disorders in the brain due to their antiox...

In this study, air-drying experiments in thin layers of mulberry grown in Istanbul, Turkey, were conducted. The effect of ethyl oleate solution on drying time of mulberry samples was investigated in a pilot air-dryer. When ethyl oleate was used as pretreatment solution, the drying time of samples was decreased. Drying curves were obtained using the Page model. The effective diffusivity varied f...
