Allelopathic effects of the sunflower verities Helianthus annuus residues were evaluated on some soil properties and their potential against growth parameters proposed successive crops Wheat Triticum aestivumL., Broad Bean Vicia fabe L. Flax Linum UstatissmimL. Sunflower plants chopped incorporated with field after getting seed, then cultivated. The have reinforced macronutrients considered ess...

and petiole, the interveinal tissue did not reach tritium equality with major veins, the stem, or the external solution. Water of the interveinal tissue maintained a stable tritium content at 60 to 70 % of external concentration for long periods. The pattern of results obtained was similar in sunflower and tobacco. Tritium content of leaf-tissue water vapor transpired by the canopy of an intact...

The thermal conductivity of sunflower seed was determined as a function of moisture content, bulk density and temperature which varies from 0.1 to 30.48% (w.b.) and 437.14 to 352.5 kg/m and 22 to 46°C, 3 respectively. The slope of the linear portion ( T versus ln(t)) method was used to analyze the line source heating data for thermal conductivity determination. Bulk density of sunflower seeds f...

This work investigates the interactions in NOX chemistry during biomass co-combustion a continuous lab-scale bubbling fluidized bed reactor. Co-combustion experiments were performed at air staged and unstaged conditions, gas composition flue within reactor was measured. The used fuels straw, sunflower husk, sewage sludge, seed. Based on NO concentration gas, straw-sunflower husk seed additive, ...

This research evaluates the effect of sunflower oil wax (SFOw) addition on the crystallization behavior and functional properties of anhydrous milk fat (AMF). Induction times of nucleation, melting behavior, microstructure of crystals, and hardness were evaluated for samples of pure AMF and AMF with 0.1 and 0.25% SFOw. Results from this research show that the addition of waxes induced the onset...

(1) The levels of oleate and linoleate in the serum have been measured in 14 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and in 14 healthy subjects before, during and after a five day period when the normal diet was supplemented with linoleate. (2) In confirmation of earlier work the mean percentage of linoleate in the serum lipids of the MS patients was significantly lower (P < 0·01) than in the con...

In previous studies, we observed important differences in the feed preferences of pigs resulting from changes in only 1 dietary ingredient. The present experiment was conducted to study the relationship between the feed preference values of feeds reported previously and their particle size and texture characteristics. The effect of individual feed ingredients was studied when added to a common ...

To establish the effectiveness of a new phytosterol-containing spread derived from rice bran oil (RBO), a randomised, double-blind, cross-over human clinical trial was conducted over 12 weeks. A total of eighty mildly hypercholesterolaemic (total blood cholesterol level ≥ 5 and ≤ 7·5 mmol/l with a serum TAG level of ≤ 4·5 mmol/l) individuals were randomised into two groups (n 40). Group 1 consu...

Extending the frying-life of oils is of commercial and economic importance. Due to this fact, assessment on the thermal stability of frying oils could provide considerable savings to the food processors. In this study, the physico-chemical properties of five palm products mainly palm oil, single-fractionated palm olein, double-fractionated palm olein, red palm olein and palm-based shortening du...
