In this study Illumina MiSeq was performed to investigate microbial diversity in soil, leaves, grape, grape juice and wine. A total of 1,043,102 fungal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) reads and 2,422,188 high quality bacterial 16S rDNA sequences were used for taxonomic classification, revealed five fungal and eight bacterial phyla. At the genus level, the dominant fungi were Ascomycota, Sorda...

Antioxidant potency of Indian grape cultivars varying in their skin color, seed and polyphenol content (Bangalore blue, Pandhari sahebi, Sharad seedless and Thompson seedless) and their components (whole grapes, pulp with skin and seeds) was examined as 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity using electron spin resonance spectrometry. The total polyphenols in Indian g...

cultura (ETc), que pode ser determinada pelo coeficiente de cultivo (Kc) e pela evapotranspiração referência (ETo). Desse modo, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar a ETc, Kc eficiência no uso água (EUA) variedades uva viníferas (Vitis vinifera), Agreste Pernambucano. Foram estudadas três uvas quais sejam: Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec Muscat Petit Grain. A ETc foi método do balanço h...

This study examined the effects of classroom assessment practices on students’ achievement goals. The study included 1,636 ninth grade students and 83 science teachers from Muscat public schools in Oman. Results from hierarchical linear modeling techniques showed that class contextual features and teachers’ teaching experiences and assessment practices interacted significantly with students’ ch...

drying foodstuffs can have negative effects on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the products, including porosity and bulk density. therefore, novel technologies can be used to improve these characteristics. in this study, apparent density changes during drying grapes pretreated with ultrasound for 10, 20 and 30 minutes, and carboxymethyl cellulose (cmc) at three concentrations of...

Raisins have been widely consumed for many years all around the world, and different grape cultivars drying techniques are used in their production. Recently, mechanical systems to overcome any undesirable effects that arise from sun-drying with require fewer pesticides minimize risk of residues. Both seeded seedless were preferred past; however, increasingly purposes addition use as table grap...

A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of ochratoxin A in grapes, dried vine fruits, and winery byproducts was developed. A mixture of either acetonitrile/water or acetonitrile/water/methanol was used as an extraction solvent mixture. After immunoaffinity column cleanup, the final extract was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a fluorometric detector (...

Polyphenol compositions and concentrations in skins and seeds of five muscadine grapes (cv. "Noble", "Alachua", "Carlos", "Fry", and "Granny Val") cultivated in the United States (Tallahassee-Florida, TA-FL) and South China (Nanning-Guangxi, NN-GX and Pu'er-Yunnan, PE-YN) were investigated, using ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem triple quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (...

Wine quality can be significantly affected by tannin and polysaccharide composition, which can in turn be influenced by grape maturity and winemaking practices. This study explored the impact of three commercial wine additives, a maceration enzyme, an enotannin, and a mannoprotein, on the composition and sensory properties of red wine, in particular, in mimicking the mouthfeel associated with w...
