The beverage of Hibiscus sabdariffa flowers is widely consumed in Mexico. Polyphenols contained in plant foods are frequently associated with dietary fiber. The aim of this work is to quantify the dietary fiber, associated polyphenols, and antioxidant capacity of the Roselle flower and the beverage traditionally prepared from it and its contribution to the Mexican diet. Roselle flower contained...

to study the effects of different fertilizing systems using green manure and zeoponix on grain yield and its components in sunflower, an experiment was conducted at the research farm of collage of agriculture, tarbiat modares university in 2010 and 2011. the experimental treatments were arranged as split plot design on the base of a complete randomized block design with three replications. two ...

Milled Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) seeds of the UMKL cultivar were analyzed for proximate composition, water and oil absorption capacity, and the influence of storage conditions on storage stability. The storage stability was determined under four types of conditions: light/oxygen (air) (LO), light/nitrogen (LN), darkness/oxygen (air) (DO), and darkness/nitrogen (DN) while monitoring for s...

Thirty crossbred rabbits were randomly allocated to five treatment combinations of soybean waste meal and lablab forage hay in a completely randomized design. The treatments comprised graded levels cheese diet (SCW) (LH) on gram: gram basis: 1) 100g SCW: 60g LH (100:60S), 2) 75g 85g (75:85S), 3) 50g 110g (50:110S), 4) 25g 135g (25:135S), 5) rabbit diet: (100:60R,control). This gives total feed ...

Abstract—In the present study an attempt has been made to reengineer traditional wadi into wholesome ready-to-use cereal-pulsebased chunks rich in protein quality and fibre content. Chunks were made using extrusion-dehydration combination. Two formulations i.e., whole green gram dhal with instant oats and washed green gram dhal with whole oats were formulated. These chunks are versatile in natu...

Behavioural responses of S. oryzae to odours/volatiles from sorghum, red gram, chick pea, black gram, green gram, fried gram and lentil were compared in Y-tube olfactometer bioassay. Results indicated that sorghum populations were more attracted towards sorghum followed by split pulses. Whereas pulses populations were more attracted towards red gram followed by green gram, chick pea, black gram...

The antimicrobial properties of dextrose-encapsulated gold nanoparticles (dGNPs) with average diameters of 25, 60, and 120 nm (± 5) and synthesized by green chemistry principles were investigated against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Studies were performed involving the effect of dGNPs on the growth, morphology, and ultrastructural properties of bacteria. dGNPs were found to ha...
