In order to realize spatial differentiation law of peanut quality in China by quantitative analysis method based on GIS technology, a spatial analysis model for peanut quality was established based on 9 ecological factors influencing peanut quality (light, temperature, water and soil, etc). The results showed that it can be achieved in the analysis of peanut quality differentiation law in space...

Rice is the major foodgrain of the world and it is the principle cereal consumed in India and other parts of Asia1. Milling of paddy to obtain edible rice grain yields two major byproducts of economic and nutritional importance, namely, paddy husk and rice bran. Paddy husk has no food value but has several industrial uses. Rice bran, on the other hand, can serve as an animal feed, as a human fo...

In the southeastern United States, a cotton-peanut rotation is attractive because of the high value and extensive planting of both crops in the region. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of cotton-peanut rotations, rye, and soil chemical treatments on management of plant-parasitic nematodes, thrips, and soilborne fungal diseases and on crop yield. Peanut-cotton-rye ro...

Emerging data suggest that measurement of serum IgE to peanut components can be clinically helpful and more accurate than IgE to whole peanut to predict peanut allergy. Not all studies have used prospective samples, multiple components and oral challenges. Currently, there are no data on this topic involving Italian children. 32 patients (23 males; median age 9 years) with reported history for ...

BACKGROUND Peanut may cause severe reactions in allergic individuals. The objective was to evaluate IgE antibodies to various recombinant (r) peanut and birch pollen allergens in relation to IgE levels to whole peanut extract and severe allergic reactions to peanut. METHODS Seventy-four Swedish peanut-allergic patients (age: 14-61 years) reported previous peanut exposure and associated sympto...

Ricin can be detected in cosmetics at 0.005 microg/mL in the analytical sample using lateral flow devices (LFDs). Wheat germ, an ingredient used in skin care products is also a potential source of wheat lectin. False positives were observed when wheat lectin was added to LFDs from two manufacturers, irrespective of whether the LFD was specific for ricin, Staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB), or b...

This study investigated the performance of recycled polypropylene (RPP)/peanut shell powder (PSP) composites with untreated PSP and treated PSP with alkaline peroxide. The RPP/PSP and RPP/PSPH2O2 composites were prepared by melt mixing and compression molding at different PSP loadings (10 wt.% to 40 wt.%). The samples were characterized by processing properties, tensile properties, Fourier tran...
