in this work, the effect of three-day germination on proximate composition, total phenolic compounds, fatty acid profile, vitamin c content, radical scavenging activity, malondialdehyde content and reducing power of safflower seed was investigated. apart from ash, other parameters including oil, protein and crude fiber contents decreased significantly during germination. phenolics content incre...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary vitamin C on growth performance, feed utilization and carcass biochemical composition of Barbus sharpeyi fingerling. Five diets containing (0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg kg-1) of ascorbic acid were fed to benni fingerlings (6.96±0.3 g) in triplicate tanks and twice daily for a period of 56 days. The weight gain significantly increase...

Oxidant stress and a reduction in antioxidant status, including reduced plasma and tissue ascorbic acid content, occur in diabetic patients and experimental models of diabetes. In this study, the effects of treatment of streptozotocin diabetic rats for 2 mo with vitamin C (10 g/kg body wt/d) or dietary vitamin E (200 mg/kg body wt/d) in the drinking water on urinary albumin excretion, glomerula...

the effect of different concentration of salicylic acid (0, 1 and 2 mmoll-1) and chitosan (0, 0.5 and 1 percent) on postharvest life and quality of selva strawberry fruit during storage at 2.5±0.5°c with 85-95% rh for 7 and 14 days was studied. decay incidence, marketability, total soluble solids, total acidity, vitamin c content and total antioxidant activity were evaluated during storage. chi...

Fresh jujube (Ziziphus jujube) is rich in vitamin C, which is an important quality index and generally decreases with storage time. The aim of this study was to build kinetic models for determining the vitamin C content, thus predicting the quality characteristics and shelf life of fresh jujube. The quality changes of the jujube stored at room temperature (20 °C) were analyzed using near-infrar...
