Fermentation improves the shelf life, texture, taste and aroma, nutritional value digestibility also lowers content of antinutrients fermented meals. This study investigated effect different fermenting agents on quality masa. The rice grains were sorted, cleaned, washed soaked, wet milled separately with baker’s yeast, lactic acid culture (yogourmet) tsamiyan gaye (citric acid) respectively. fi...

Apple is one of the most important fruits in temperate zones with a long post-harvest life during cold storage. A factorial experiment, in a randomized completely block design was used to investigate the preharvest application of Iron (0, 500 and 1000 mg Fe-EDDHA per tree) and nitrogen (0, 48 and 96 g ammonium nitrate per tree( on some postharvest qualitative characteristics in "Red spur" and "...

The catalyst Pt-Ta supported on 7-alumina was prepared by impregnation with solution containing compoundsof II21K1.0. and Ta205 The Pt concentration was kept constant at 0.2 vet% while the concentration of thetantalum was 0,4 wt%. The activity and selectivity of catalyst were determined under conditions at 450-500 °Cand 15-30 atm.. with molar ratio H2/C[H,e5 and WH=1.5mL/h for converted n-hepta...

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant capacities of “Phulae” and “Nanglae” pineapple (Ananas comosus L. Merr) which are important geographical indications of Chiang Rai, Thailand were investigated. Two pineapple varieties were collected at 20-40 % yellow peel colour. Total soluble solids (TSS), titratable acidity (TA), total polyphenols, β-carotene, vitamin C and antioxidant capacity (ferric redu...

in present research the effects of four levels (0, 0.5, 1, 2 mm) of each of salicylic acid and putrescine treatments on the quality improvement of granny smith apple fruit were studied. factorial experiment in randomized complete block with three replications on 16 trees, eighteen years in researcher station of agriculture university of tehran was designed. for this purpose the trees were spray...

in the present research, effects of modified atmosphere packaging (map) includingthree gas combinations and two packaging films (low density polyethylene (ldpe) andpolypropylene (pp)) on postharvest quality and storage-life of 'elberta' peach wereevaluated. the study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on crd(completely randomized design) with three replicates for 9 weeks. f...

Rainwater samples were collected for the monsoon period of 1988 and 1991–1996 at Dayalbagh (Agra), a suburban site situated in semiarid region. The mean pH was 7.01 ±1.03 well above 5.6, which is the reference pH. Concentration of Ca2+ was observed to be highest followed by Mg2+, NH4 , SO 2− 4 , Cl −, NO3 , Na+, F− and K+. The ratios of SO 2− 4 + NO3 and Ca2+ + Mg2+ (TA/TC) have been considered...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this investigation was to give insights into the impact of carbohydrate-electrolyte drinks on the likely capacity of enamel surface dissolution and the influence of human saliva exposure as a biological protective factor. MATERIALS AND METHODS The pH, titratable acidity (TA) to pH 7.0, and buffer capacity (β) of common beverages ingested by patients under physical activi...

‘In-store’ consumer acceptance tests were performed on a group of 400 American consumers and 250 native Chinese consumers to determine the relationship between ripe soluble solids concentration (SSC) and titratable acidity (TA) on consumer acceptance of ‘Redglobe’ grapes for different ethnic groups. For this, a group of Caucasian, Hispanic and Chinese-American consumers and a group of native Ch...
