This study examined the utilization of potato processing wastewater as the feedstock by two oleaginous fungi, Aspergillus flavus I16-3 and Mucor rouxii, for lipid and gamma linolenic acid production. The high strength wastewater contained soluble carbohydrates of 36.2 g/l, soluble chemical oxygen demand (COD) of 40 g/l, total soluble nitrogen of 0.62 g/l, and soluble total phosphorus of 0.24 g/...

Inoculating two kinds of microbes (MS compound strains and ZHJ fermentation), study on the effect of the MSW compost on the nitrogen and maturity, the results showed, comparing with that of compost primary, the content of total nitrogen obviously declined at the end of the MSW compost. The two kinds of microbes could accelerate the transform of water-soluble NH4-N and the formation of the water...

Summ1ary. Protein and soluble nitrogen distribution in different parts of lettuce seedling was studied in light and darkness and in presence and absence of gibberellic acid. In dark, applied gibberellic acid failed to show any marked effect on the nitrogen changes in lettuce. Light inhibits translocation of nitrogen reserves from the cotyledons. Gibberellic acid reverses the light inhibition of...

The relationships between rooting potential with endogenous phenolic compounds, nitrogen and soluble carbohydrates of cuttings for five olive cultivars (‘Rowghani’, ‘Dusti’, ‘Tokhmekabki’, ‘Konservalia’ and ‘Amigdalolia’) were investigated. Extracts of the leaves and the base of the cuttings were used for analysis of biochemical compounds. Results showed that there were significant differences ...

drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

Raw milk for UHT processing at commercial dairy plant was collected from well managed dairy farms. The milk was processed by direct system and heated at 143145oC for 3-5S, then aseptically packed. Three different batches of UHT milk were used in this study. Samples of UHT milk were analysed after processing and during storage at 4, 22 and 37oC ± 2°C for 6 months. The changes in pH, acidity as l...

Our objective was to examine alterations in carbohydrate status of leaf meristems that are associated with nitrogen-induced changes in leaf elongation rates of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). Dark respiration rates, concentrations of nonstructural carbohydrates, and soluble proteins were measured in leaf intercalary meristems and adjacent segments of elongating leaves. The two genoty...

Cotija cheese is an artisanal Mexican cheese produced with raw cow ́s milk. Our objective was to measure the antioxidant and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities of the peptides released during its ripening. For that, Cotija cheeses were ripened 6 months in a chamber at 25 oC without humidity control. Weekly samples were taken to determine acid soluble nitrogen (ASN), non-pr...
