Abstract In this work, the advantages and disadvantages of freeze drying microwave were considered analyzed. Experimental data on plums are given. The chemical composition before after freeze-drying was results moisture change, compared.

Plum is one of the most produced stone fruits worldwide. Melatonin an environmentally eco-friendly substance that, in low concentrations, activates defence systems against biotic and abiotic stresses. This considered a tool that could increase fruit quality. study aimed to evaluate impact different preharvest foliar applications with melatonin concentrations (0.1, 0.3, 0.5 mmol L−1) enhance con...

In this study, thirteen Japanese plum cultivars (Prunus salicina Lindl.) grown under conventional and organic conditions were compared to evaluate the influence of the culture system on bioactive compounds. Their organic acids content (malic, citric, tartaric, succinic, shikimic, ascorbic and fumaric acid), total polyphenols, total anthocyanins, total carotenoids and antioxidant capacity (FRAP,...

Link prediction is an important problem in online social and collaboration networks, for recommending friends and future collaborators. Most of the existing approaches for link prediction are focused on building unsupervised or supervised classification models based on the availability of accepts and rejects of the past recommendations. Several of these methods are feature-based and they constr...

Although large-scale programs, like India's Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC), have improved latrine coverage in rural settings, evidence suggests that actual use is suboptimal. However, the reliability of methods to assess latrine use is uncertain. We assessed the reliability of reported use, the standard method, by comparing survey-based responses against passive latrine use monitors (PLUMs) th...

Eight salt-tolerant yeasts were isolated from contaminated pickled plums which were seasoned with honey and "Umami" seasoning. They were classified into four main groups according to random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis, and three of ten kinds of food additives tested inhibited their growth. The type strains of each group were identified as Zygosaccharomyces bisporus, Pichia subpeliculosa,...

The Flowering Locus T1 (FT1) gene from Populus trichocarpa under the control of the 35S promoter was transformed into European plum (Prunus domestica L). Transgenic plants expressing higher levels of FT flowered and produced fruits in the greenhouse within 1 to 10 months. FT plums did not enter dormancy after cold or short day treatments yet field planted FT plums remained winter hardy down to ...
