the objective of this study was to evaluate the storage life and quality of persimmon (diospyros kaki thunb.) fruit cv. ‘karaj’ stored at 0°c for 4 months after postharvest calcium chloride treatment. fruit weight loss, fruit firmness, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, total phenolic content, soluble tannin content, chilling injury, antioxidant activity, electrolyte leakage, and malondi...

hazelnut (corylus avellna l.) is one of the important nut crops in world. the harvesting ofhazelnuts is done either by hand or by manual or mechanical raking of fallen nuts in iran.common hazel is widely cultivated for its nuts, including in commercial orchards in europe,turkey, and iran. there are some genotypes of hazelnut in iran that their growing areas arelimited to gillan, aredbil, mazand...

in present study different protein measurement methods are evaluated on the allergenic extract of chenopodium album pollen, which was previously prepared in our laboratory and applied in skin prick testing in comparison with a commer¬cial extract. the protein content of similar amounts of these two extracts which had caused similar skin reactions were measured with different protein assays such...

The present study describes the radiation-induced effects on nutritional quality and on anti-nutritional factors of sorghum grain: effects of electron beam (ER) and gamma irradiation (GR) at doses of 10, 20 and 30 kGy and infrared irradiation (IR) at 60, 90 and 120 s on the chemical composition, mineral content and bioavailability, in vitro protein and starch digestibility, total phenolic compo...

Background: To evaluate the radioprotective potential of Punica granatum fruit rind extract (PGRE) in mouse testes. Materials and Methods: Adult male mice were divided into four groups. Group I was kept without any treatment. Group II was irradiated with 8Gy Co60 gamma irradiation and Group III was given PGRE one hour before irradiation. Group IV was fed with PGRE at the rate of 10 mg/kg body w...

The proximate composition, amino acids and fatty acids composition in the muscle of wild, inshore and offshore cage-cultured large yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Richardson, 1846), were determined to identify nutritional differences. Wild fish groups showed highest content of moisture and crude protein, but the lowest lipid content. Offshore cage-cultured fish showed significantly higher...

in this research, a mixture of mpc, wpc, smp, soy milk, margarine, butter and water was used for production of uf-feta cheese analogue.variables were mpc (8%, 9%, 10%), wpc (0%, 1.5%, 3%), soy milk (5%, 10%, 15%) and margarine (0%, 5%, 10%). chemical (total solids, protein, acidity) and sensory (color and appearance, aroma, texture, flavor, total acceptance) properties of samples were analyzed ...
