Carob products are good sources of bioactive compound/dietary fiber having beneficial effects on cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases. Other energy like tahini also improves physicochemical properties foods. This study demonstrated the possibility for 50% replacement cocoa powder by carob flour effect Locust Bean Gum (LBG) Xanthan (XN) consumer acceptability physical carob-based snacks....

Regarding some reported antimicrobial properties of tannins; Zymomonas mobilis was used to obtain ethanol from tannin-reduced carob pod extract (TR-CPE). Culture of 50 ml volume containing 7.5 g sugar at pH 5.5 and 0.03 g bacterial inoculums with shaking at 80 rpm was used. Using response surface methodology (RSM), the maximum ethanol concentration of 5.34 % w/v (higher than that reported earli...

in this study, the morphological and chemical properties of carob pods and carob beans as well as the effect of different extraction, and purification methods on the physical and chemical properties of the purified gums have been investigated. in order to dehusk carob beans, boiling water as well as acidic methods were used. the endosperm powder was prepared and the effect of endosperm powder c...

the effect of acid-alkaline treatment of lignocellulosic material (wild carob forest wastes) on ethyl violet adsorption was investigated. it was found that surface chemistry plays an important role in ethyl violet (ev) adsorption. hcl treatment produces more active acidic surface groups such as carboxylic and lactone, resulting in an increase in the adsorption of ev dye. the adsorption efficien...

The following well-known text from the Babylonian Talmud (redacted ca. 600 C.E.) has had an enormous influence on scholarly accounts of the relation between divine authority and human authority in talmudic rabbinic Judaism. [Regarding a certain kind of oven, R. Eliezer rules that it is ritually pure and the sages rule that it is ritually impure.] It was taught: On that day, R. Eliezer responded...

Carob is botanically called as Ceratonia siliqua and belongs to the Legumes family. The fruit derived from hermaphrodite trees hard in shape. carob contains high sugar contents pulp, fat seed minerals like potassium, calcium, phosphorus are present pods. Polyphenols antioxidants abundant leaves It can be used for enhancing human health due its nutritional profile. gum pharmaceutical industry fo...

The present study aimed to obtain and investigate the physicochemical sensory characteristics of fiber-rich cereal bars containing probiotics. Different formulations were tested, by adding Bacillus subtilis (Probisis®) cells, and/or carob powder for improving functional properties enhancement color flavor. Proximate composition, texture, color, antioxidant activity measured. Water was registere...

The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a typical Mediterranean species with over 4000-year history. From ancient Egyptians to Cretans, products have been used as emergency food in the absence of basic goods. In previous few decades, global agricultural economy has replaced traditional crops more profitable ones, which led soil degradation and greater requirement for inputs. rediscovery use pl...

Concentrated whole extracts of the immature fruit of carob and 3 fractions derived from this extract have been shown to inhibit the gibberellic acid induced growth of pea seedlings. The inhibition can be completely reversed by increasing the amount of gibberellic acid. The inhibitors do not reduce the endogenous growth of seedlings but only that induced by gibberellic acid. One of the fractions...

Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) with limited widespread in Turkey is considered as secondary forest tree. In this study, molecular characterizations were made for 508 genotypes of seven different carob populations colelcted from Eagean, Western and Eastern Mediterranean regions the aid sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) technique. Identification wild genotypes, relativity levels geneti...
