BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano silver and silver nitrate on yield of seed in basil plant. The study was carried out in a randomized block design with three replications. RESULTS Four levels of either silver nitrate (0, 100, 200 and 300 ppm) or nano silver (0, 20, 40, and 60 ppm) were sprayed on basil plant at seed growth stage. The results showed that ther...

There is a high year-to-year variation in production of guar, and consequently, in exports of guar and its derivatives. Guar gum is mainly used in the food and bakery industry, the food safety concerns are becoming important for the guar processing industry. The preparedness of guar split and guar gum manufacturing industries for these food safety concerns, high fluctuations in area, production...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND A natural carbohydrate biopolymer was extracted from the agricultural biomass waste (durian seed). Subsequently, the crude biopolymer was purified by using the saturated barium hydroxide to minimize the impurities. Finally, the effect of different drying techniques on the flow characteristics and functional properties of the purified biopolymer was investigated. The pre...

ultrasound-assisted extraction was used to determine the optimum processing conditions and to achieve the maximum extraction yield and viscosity of the gum extracted from quince seed. using response surface methodology (rsm) to design the experiments and adopting the central composite rotatable design (ccrd), the effect of extraction temperature (25-55°c), time (3-10 minutes), and ph (6-8) were...
