The carotenoids have vast medical, industrial, dietary, and pharmaceutical importance due to their provitamin A precursor, immunomodulator, antioxidant photoprotective activity. purpose of the research was optimize production using Rhodotorula mucilaginosa from artichoke agroindustrial waste as a low-cost substrate. artichokes bracts bleached by sodium hypochlorite (NaClO 2%) characterized thro...

The rate and periodicity of the emission of the sex pheromone [(a-1 1-hexadecenal] from the pheromone glands of individual female artichoke plume moths, Platyptzlia carduzdactyla, were quantified The mean rate of volatilization of (2)-11-hexadecenal from the glands of the moths peaked at 1 52 Â 0 41 (SE) nglmin during the scotophase, and was at low levels during the entire photophase This perio...

BACKGROUND Ethanol production from non-crop materials, such as Jerusalem artichokes, would make a great contribution to the energy industry. The non-conventional yeast, Kluyveromyces marxianus, is able to carry out ethanol fermentation of sugar molecules obtained from inulin-containing materials by consolidated bioprocessing. Lower inulin concentrations and micro-aeration can lead to a relative...

Plants for optimal growth requires absorb water and nutrients absorption from the soil. Magnetic Water downward movement of minerals and makes it easy for plants to absorb nutrients and water. This study was designed to investigate the effect of magnetic salt water on some quantity and quality characteristics of artichoke leaves. The experiment was factorial based on completely randomized desig...

Inulin is a natural food component found in many plants that are part of the human diet (e.g., leeks, onions, wheat, garlic, chicory and artichokes). It is added to many foods and is used to increase dietary fibre, replace fats or carbohydrates, and as a prebiotic (a stimulant of beneficial bacteria in the colon). Oligofructose, which is also present in these foods, produces similar effects and...

The metabolism of fructose has been studied with varying intensity and enthusiasm since Kulzu in 1874 first reported that diabetic patients were able to utilize fructose given orally better than other sugars. Although Naunyn' confirmed these results, he maintained that tolerance for fructose was eventually lost, and Joslin,11 as late as 1946, stated that in his experiments "at first the fructos...
