In order to continue our previous studies on some Viola species from Romania, we have analysed for the first time some active principles from aerial parts of V. declinata Waldst. et Kit. We have performed gravimetric methods for saponins and mucilages, and spectrophotometric determinations and HPLC analysis of carotenoids. We established the content in saponins (4.40%), mucilages (10.26%), and ...

ABSTRACT- To evaluate effects of different soil moisture conditions namely, phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) application, on extractable Zn and Fe, two experiments were conducted in laboratory conditions based on a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of treatments with two replications. The first experiment was performed with the following factors; incubation time at four leve...

Increased economic incentive for producing young and leaner carcasses, as well as demand for lean meat from progressively health conscious consumers, are considered drivers for change in carcass composition over time. Furthermore, many retailers trim visible fat from meat to various degrees and consumers increasingly remove visible fat from meat prior to, or after, cooking. The objective of thi...

The objective of this work is to identify and eliminate antinutritional factors in the fruit kernel Irvingia smithii (wild mango tree) from KISANTU botanical garden (DRC) by thermal effect at different temperatures (T1: sun drying, T2: roasting an oven 130° C for 30 minutes, T3: boiling 45 minutes) as a function time. It appears results our analyzes that kernels contain low proportions: phytate...

The need to improve and enhance the nutritional quality of locally made foods (bakery confectionaries) cannot be overemphasized. This study set out meet this by producing composite flours from wheat, defatted peanut orange peel flour blends which will serve an even greater issue reducing cost wheat importation use. samples were coded as follows: A-100:0:0, B-90:5:5, C-85:10:5, D-80:15:5, E-75:2...
