Agricultural Engineering Sciences, University of Duhok, in which local pomegranate fruits were obtained one the private orchards located village Armasht (fifty-three kilometers from city Duhok). Dohuk Governorate, Kurdistan Region/Iraq, to study effect packing type (non-packing and packing) dipped for 7 min different concentration (0, 15, 30% AV gel, 1.5 3 mM PUT) on fruit quality during 2, mon...

The current paper presents the coating of harvested strawberries with edible nanoparticles Chitosan. NPs were formed by application ultrasonic waves on an acidic solution chitosan. In a one-step process created and subsequent to their formation they deposited surface. shelf life coated was compared deposition same amount non-sonicated chitosan, i.e., individual chitosan molecules fruit. charact...

Apple is one of the delicious fruit consumed by people. cider vinegar was made through traditional method and changes occurred during 8 week fermentation period were determined in this research. Total titratable acidity, pH, total soluble solids (°brix), phenolic contents, Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant (TEAC) assays, contents determined. substance, ORAC...

1. Initial glycogen levels in the liver were found to be significantly higher than in the kidneys of the two species studied. The glycogen levels in kidney were however considerably higher than in some mammalian species. 2. Total reducing capacity, true glucose, saccharoid fraction and titratable acidity increase gradually with concomitant decrease in the glycogen levels when liver and kidney h...

background: in recent years, plants natural products have gained considerable attention as natural preservers for use in different industries. due to their free radical scavenging activities, phenolic compounds can prevent a wide range of diseases such as cancers and cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. for a long time, different ferulago species have been in use as medicinal plants w...

Little data is available in the scientific literature on postharvest changes taking place in Syzygium aqueum fruits, an increasingly popular fruit in the Asian region. In this study the postharvest physico-chemical and mechanical properties, namely, fruit color, weight loss, pulp firmness, total soluble solids, pH and titratable acidity were determined during the postharvest storage period unde...

Background: Cornus sanguinea L subsp australis (C.A. Mey.) Jáv. (Cornaceae) is a native species in north and northwest of Iran. It is locally named Siah-al. The genus Cornus is rich source of anthocyanins. Objective: In this study the antioxidant activity, total phenol and total anthocyanin contents of different extracts of C. sanguinea L subsp australis. were investigated for the first time. ...

Black currant berries contain many biochemical compounds with proven or potential human health benefits. We studied the content of total and single polyphenols, ascorbic acid, soluble sugars, and titratable acidity for two advanced selections and three cultivars of black currant at two distant locations in Sweden (south: 56°06'N; north: 65°21'N) over a 3 year period. Regression analyses reveale...

We report the discovery of a highly coherent oscillation in a type-I X-ray burst observed from 4U 1916−053 by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE ). The oscillation was most strongly detected ≈ 1 s after the burst onset at a frequency of 269.3 Hz, and it increased in frequency over the following 4 seconds of the burst decay to a maximum of ≃272 Hz. The total measured drift of 3.58 ± 0.41 Hz (...
