Soluble sugar and malic acid contents in mature fruits of 364 apple accessions were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Fructose and sucrose represented the major components of soluble sugars in cultivated fruits, whilst fructose and glucose were the major items of sugars in wild fruits. Wild fruits were significantly more acidic than cultivated fruits, whilst the av...

we sought to determine levels of oral bioaccessibility of hydroxymethylfurfural (hmf) from frequently consumed dried fruits in iran. fifty samples from frequently consumed types of dried fruits were analyzed for moisture, acidity and hmf content before and after in vitro digestion. besides, bioaccessibility of hmf in dried fruits using an in vitro gastrointestinal digestive model and hmf intake...

Tomato fruits grown in greenhouses were collected from Al–Karj region during summer 2008. Seven bacterial isolates that characterized as Gram negative, short rod–shaped, yellow-pigmented bacterium were isolated and recovered from the internal discoloration tissue of there collected fruits. Symptoms of infected fruits were blackening of the vascular vessels of tissue reached to seeds and lack an...

Background: Telogen effluvium is a self-limited, non-scarring disease that shows itself as a diffuse hair loss of the scalp that usually occurs 3 months after an acute illness. Theoretically, Minoxidil solution has been suggested as a treatment for this condition. In this study, we compared the efficacy of the minoxidil and an herbal drug containing urtica diocia, chamomilla, thymus vulgaris, e...

Participation in global trade means that China’s vegetables and fruits industry faces international food safety standards and increased scrutiny worldwide. The objectives of this paper were to investigate how existing food safety standards and regulations in the importing countries impact the export of vegetables and fruits from China. This paper discussed the current and historical situations ...

AIM To investigate the relationship between the colors of vegetables and fruits and the risk of colorectal cancer in Korea. METHODS A case-control study was conducted with 923 colorectal cancer patients and 1846 controls recruited from the National Cancer Center in Korea. We classified vegetables and fruits into four groups according to the color of their edible parts (e.g., green, orange/yel...

Introduction Abstract: We investigated the extent of multiple paternity within and between fruits of the common milkweed, Asclepias syriaca, at one site. Using isozyme polymorphisms at four loci and the maximum likelihood methods of Williams and Evarts (1989), we found no statistical evidence for multiple paternity within fruits. When pairs of fruits obtained from individual ramets were analyze...

Gleditsiae Fructus Abnormalis and Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus are obtained from different developmental stages of fruits from Gleditsia sinensis Lam. (Leguminosae). The possible interchangeable usage of the two fruits, however, has long been very controversial. Here, high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detection was developed to explore their chemical fingerprinting ...
