Background: Drying is the one of the oldest methods for increasing the shelf life of food products. The objective of the present study was evaluation of effect of different drying temperatures on drying time and storage quality parameters of in-shell hazelnut. Methods: Hazelnuts were dried as a thin layer at three temperatures (40, 50, and 60 °C). The time required for drying and quality param...

estimation of protein stability is important for many reasons: first providing an understanding of the basic thermodynamics of the process of folding, protein engineering, and protein stability plays important role in biotechnology especially in food and protein drug design. today, proteins are used in many branches, including industrial processes, pharmaceutical industry, and medical fields. a...

this investigation was conducted to compare the genetic variation of alfalfa syn0 vs syn1 and ghara yonja (parental cultivar) using seed storage proteins. results of electrophoresis sds-page in seed storage protein, indicated that there are no significant differences between the means of distance intra-population obtained for syn0 and ghara yonja (0.274 ± 0.0045, 0.270 ± 0.0081, respectively) a...

Probiotic fermented sausages are safe and healthy meat products. Semi-dry fermented sausages were manufactured from camel meat inoculated with Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus paracasei and control. All treatments were analyzed for the  physico-chemical characteristics (Protein, Moisture, Fat, Ash, Lactic acid value and pH), microbiological features (total aerobic, total mold and yeast...

Understanding the relationships between biochemical contents and morpho-phenological aspects of a plant during life cycle would be helpful for doing precise agricultural practices through its cultivation. In the present study, various biochemical parameters were evaluated in relation to bulb storage, shoot growth and florogenesis in Iranian lily (Lilium ledebourii var. Kelardasht Salehi1). Ten ...
