Radiation-induced gastrointestinal syndrome, including nausea, diarrhea and dehydration, contributes to morbidity and mortality after medical or industrial radiation exposure. No safe and effective radiation countermeasure has been approved for clinical therapy. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential protective effects of seabuckthorn pulp and seed oils against radiation-induced a...

Olive fruits and oils contain an array of compounds that contribute to their sensory and nutritional properties. Phenolic compounds in virgin oil and olive-derived products have been proven to be highly beneficial for human health, eliciting increasing attention from the food industry and consumers. Although phenolic compounds in olive fruit and oil have been extensively investigated, allowing ...

Olive fruits at the green, cherry and black stages were used to investigate the structural and microstructural changes in tissues during ripening. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tissue fracture of green olives resulted in cell wall breakage of epicarp and mesocarp cells. Tissue fracture resulted in fewer broken cells in cherry than in green olives and even less in black olive tissues. Cell ...

The study was conducted during the harvest season in year 2020 to identify and quantify primary secondary metabolites olive fruit of ‘Leccino’ cultivar ripening. Sugars, individual phenolic compounds, total content tannin were measured separately for first time skin pulp. Most studied higher skin. Five sugars identified, most important being glucose both tissues, although its decreased highest ...

Agronomic practices can modify olive fruit and oil quality. However, there is little information on the influence of fertigation, a common practice in most intensive orchards. We studied nutrient distribution in the soil profile following fertigation with different doses of N-P-K fertilizer, and its effect on nutrient concentrations, yield and both table olive and oil quality. Measurements were...

Abstract The aim of this paper was to investigate the effectiveness pyrolyzed low-cost food waste natural materials from industry on removal chlorine water. Biochar produced after pyrolysis at 850 o C malt spent rootlets (MSR), walnut shells, and apricot, olive, carob grape kernels. biochars were characterized for their surface area, microporosity, functional groups pH. Continuous flow column e...

In olive fruits, sugars are the main soluble components providing energy and acting as precursors for olive oil biosynthesis. Large quantities of glucose, fructose and galactose are often found in olive pulp. To analyze sugar transport processes in Olea europaea, a cDNA encoding a monosaccharide transporter, designated OeMST2 (Olea europaea monosaccharide transporter 2) was cloned. An open read...

Proximate and detergent fiber composition of de-oiled African olive (Canarium schweinfurthii) residue were assessed using standard laboratory analytical procedures. showed 17.58 ± 0.21% crude protein, 4.13 0.06% fat, 19.99 0.89% fiber, 8.11 0.33% ash 50.20 1.19% soluble carbohydrate. Detergent components 54.74±0.0745% NDF, 38.35 0.59% ADF, 14.37 0.68% ADL, 23.98 0.10% cellulose 16.40 0.13% hemi...

The aim of this work was the investigation effect wastewater generated from poultry meat industry on irrigation olive trees, during a short time period, in order to evaluate its impact pomological criteria and oil quality. Olive trees were subjected with different water qualities: (i) (PWW), (ii) diluted tap 50:50 (v/v) (PWTWW), (iii) rain-fed cultivation system (control). results showed that P...
