The mechanical characteristics of apples are crucial to the mechanization apple production. In this study, Fuji with largest crop yield were studied by testing tensile strength, compression shear bending hardness, friction coefficient, and microstructure. obtained minimum values elastic modulus, compressive strength 5.0 ± 0.52, 2.2 0.15, 0.45 0.02, 0.062, 2.4 0.21 MPa, respectively, all located...

The aim of this study was to compare total phenolic content (TPC), radical-scavenging activity (RSA), anthocyanin (TAC), sugar and polyphenolic profiles two apple cultivars (‘Discovery’ ‘Red Aroma Orelind’) from organic integrated production systems in climatic conditions Western Norway. Sixteen sugars four alcohols 19 polyphenols were found the peel, but less detected pulp. peel both apples ha...

Fruits of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. (family: Rhamnaceae), known as Indian jujube or "Ber," are of potential nutritional and medicinal value. The objectives of the present study were to estimate bioactive compound maslinic acid by HPTLC method and to evaluate in vitro antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity of eight cultivars of Indian jujube. Maslinic acid and the fruit pulp of various cultivars ...

The biochemical composition of the seed, fruit-pulp and fruit-skin false yam African star apple was carried out in this study using standard techniques. result mean phytochemical Icacina senegalensis Chrysophyllum albidum fruits revealed higher tannin pulp, seed I. senegalensis, while alkaloid flavonoid pulp (24.22±0.141mg/100g 16.53±0.021mg/100g), (25.35± 0.021mg/100g 18.27±0.014mg/100g)and ba...

This study aimed to investigate the biochemical compounds of five different apple cultivars (Amasya, Braeburn, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Starking) grown in same location reveal differences between peel pulp fresh, oven-dried, sun-dried samples. Sugar organic acid contents were analyzed through high-performance liquid chromatography. Besides, antioxidant activity, total flavonoid, phen...

The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of apple pulp on weight and composition of faeces. This material is rich in dietary fibre (DF; 620 g dry matter/kg) and contains appreciable amounts of polyphenols. Recent reports indicate that both condensed tannins (CT) and soluble polyphenols form cross-links with protein and inhibit digestive enzymes, affecting the protein digestibility...

After pulp extraction in fruit processing industry, a significant quantity of mango seed kernels are discarded as solid wastes. These seed kernels can be ideal raw materials for obtaining extracts rich in bioactive compounds with good antioxidant properties. The conversion of these wastes into utilizable food ingredients would help in reducing environmental problems associated with processing w...
