The possible use of municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) in the production of marigold and basil seedlings examined. Six medium prepared from commercial peat (CP) and MSWC (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 100% v/v). There was not any plant growth when MSWC used alone (100%). The addition of MSWC in low content (15% and 30%) improved seed emergence for marigold and basil respectively, while greater conte...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano silver and silver nitrate on yield of seed in basil plant. The study was carried out in a randomized block design with three replications. RESULTS Four levels of either silver nitrate (0, 100, 200 and 300 ppm) or nano silver (0, 20, 40, and 60 ppm) were sprayed on basil plant at seed growth stage. The results showed that ther...

In this study the rheological and textural properties of Iranian white cheese produced by ultrafiltration technique containing gum tragacanth and xanthan gum each in the range of 0-0.1%, and basil seed and linseed mucilages each in the range of 0-0.2% were evaluated. According to the results obtained, values of Elastic (G/) and viscous (G//) moduli increased with increasing frequency sweep in a...

retarding the staling rate of baked goods is one of the most important issues which is of nutritional and economical importance. application of native plant and seed hydrocolloids and mucilages with medicinal and nutritional value is an economic solution to postpone the staling phenomenon. in this study the effect of different concentrations of basil seed mucilage (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1% w/w...

in order to study the effect of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer levels on yield of basil, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in birjand (moud region) in 2010. main plot factor was two irrigation levels (7 and 14 days interval) and nitrogen fertilizer (as urea) was considered as sub plot factor in four levels (0, 50, 100...

Effect of rice bran protein and modified basil seed gum on physicochemical properties stability confectionery cream

Aqueous extraction of basil seed mucilage was optimized using response surface methodology. A Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD) for modeling of three independent variables: temperature (40-91 °C); extraction time (1.6-3.3 h) and water/seed ratio (18:1-77:1) was used to study the response for yield. Experimental values for extraction yield ranged from 7.86 to 20.5 g/100 g. Extraction yie...

ABSTRACT: In this research, the functionality of sweet Basil seed powder (Ocimum basilicum L.) on Buguette bread quality and its potential application in retarding the staling process has been studied. Three different concentrations of the powder (0.5%, 1% and 1.5%, w/w, flour basis) were applied. The effects of powder on the rheological properties of dough were also investigated instrumentally...

The plants are stores valuable active secondary metabolites that have been commercially economically beneficial helpful medicine pharmacy. major parameter reproduction preservation seeds, which a functional role in distribution establishment regions. Fiv...

the allelopathic effect of weeds frequently inhibited the germination and seedling growth of crops. johnsongrass (sorghum halepens) is known to contain water-soluble substances that are allelopathic. to identify the allelopathic effect of johnsongrass, the effect of different aqueous extracts (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 g l-1) obtained from roots and leaves of johnsongrass on the seed germinat...
