A valid quantitative method for the analysis of chiral monoterpenes in white wine using head-space solid phase micro-extraction-MDGC-MS (HS-SPME-MDGC-MS) with stable isotope dilution analysis was established. Fifteen compounds: (S)-(-)-limonene, (R)-(+)-limonene, (+)-(2R,4S)-cis-rose oxide, (-)-(2S,4R)-cis-rose oxide, (-)-(2R,4R)-trans-rose oxide, (+)-(2S,4S)-cis-rose oxide, furanoid (+)-trans-...

Polyphenol content and free radical scavenging capacity of seven kinds of sugar manufacturing products (A sugars, clear juices, syrups, massecuite, and A, B, and C molasses) were studied. Seventy-two samples were collected at different stages of the process during two sugar harvests from a local sugar factory (Bois-Rouge, La Réunion). The total phenolic content of sugar products was determined ...

The author researches the impact of the second generation wavelet transform spectrometer data preprocessing navel orange sugar content and acidity Partial Least Squares (PLS) quantitative accuracy of the prediction model. This paper also collects the spectral date of one hundred navel oranges by visible/near-infrared diffuse reflectance detection technology and establishes the navel orange suga...

water is one of the most important restrictive factors in crop production. therefore, optimum use of water resources in line with sustainable agriculture is mandatory. in this research the effects of different amounts of allowed soil water depletion at various growth stages of root sugar beet and its effect on qualitative and quantitative characters of the crop were studied. the experimental de...

Oxygen uptake and energy charge were monitored during aging of excised maize root tips and related to the soluble sugar content and exogenous sugar supply.Oxygen uptake declined immediately after excision to 50 to 30% of its initial value after 8 and 24 hours of aging at 25 C. There was also a sharp decline of the total sugar content (glucose, fructose, and sucrose). Starch content was very low...

the use of organic fertilizer brings about an increase in the organic matter of soil and the microbiological activities. generally as the soil in many parts of iranis poor, the use of manure is suggested for improvement of soil structure and physical and chemical properties to increase yield and to reach a sustainable agriculture. this investigation was conducted during 2001-2004 in karaj at th...

autumn planting of sugar beet as compared to its spring cultivation demands less application of water in semi-arid region such as iran. therefore, cultivation of sugar beet in autumn is considered as a better choice to be benefited from autumn and winter precipitation and escaping from water deficit crises. in two areas of aran-o-bidgol, esfahan (ae) and izeh, khuzestan (ik), two independent ex...

In most studies, moisture sorption into amorphous foods is expressed as a change in the bulk moisture content, which does not provide detail on how a moisture front moves into the food. This study was targeted towards characterization of the moisture behavior in amorphous saccharide materials of different molecular weight (MW), glass transition temperature (Tg) and moisture content. Various sug...
