Background: An essential oil is a liquid that is generally distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers or other elements of a plant. Objective: Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) Essential Oil (CEO) was analyzed to determine oil component. Antifungal effect of CEO was determined by in vitro technique. In second stage, effect of different concentrations of CEO by PDM on postharvest life of strawberry (Fr...

Winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) is highly popular due to its attractive taste and flavor of fruits. However, cultivation facing a serious obstacle for the substantial decrease in fruit soluble solids contents. In this study, four commonly-used fertilization types, including organic manure application (OM), combined NPK fertilizer (OC), at high rate (HC) low (LC) were selected ...

The current study aims to evaluate the physico-chemical characteristics of selected banana genotypes Nagaland. Ten were collected from farmer’s field and fruits analyzed for TSS, acidity, total sugar, reducing TSS/Acid ratio, crude protein carotenoids. All analysis was done in randomized block design with three replication. In order obtain suitable interpretation generated data subjected statis...

Bangalore city hosts two Urban Wastewater Treatment Plants (UWTPs) towards the periphery of Vrishabhavathi valley, located in Nellakedaranahalli village of Nagasandra and Mailasandra Village, Karnataka, India. These plants are designed and constructed with an aim to manage wastewater so as to minimize and/or remove organic matter, solids, nutrients, disease-causing organisms and other pollutant...

Noni juice processing industry depends explicitly on the quality of noni fruits and its together with increased production fruits. This study evaluated effects chemical treatments noni's fruiting capacity, fruit yield antioxidant properties. plants in stage were foliar fed boric acid (BA) at a concentration 100 ppm or 200 ppm, gibberellic (GA3) 20 40 sucrose solution 5 20% water (control). Chan...

This article confirms the existence of a strong linear relationship between turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) concentration. However, the slope of this relation varies between dry and wet weather conditions, as well as between sites. The effect of this variability on estimating the instantaneous wet weather TSS concentration is assessed on the basis of the size of the calibration datas...

As more manufactured stormwater treatment devices enter the market, stormwater managers are searching for effective and rapid methods for evaluating device performance. Many agencies require vendors to test full-scale versions of their devices under controlled conditions. The most common parameter used to document performance is suspended solids for several reasons: 1 many pollutants attach to ...

The efficacy of a laboratory electrocoagulation (EC) system for treating egg processing plant wastewater (WW) is reported. For simulated and industrial egg processingWW, chemical oxygen demand, turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS) were reduced 92 to 97%, 97%, and 99%, respectively, after treatment with EC. The final TSS concentration and turbidity values were 30 mg/ L and 5 formazin turb...

a lab-scale sbr equipped with a flat sheet membrane in submerged configuration that is named msbr was used for the treatment of composting leachate. it was fed by biologically treated leachate with overall 70-1360 mg/l chemical oxygen demand (cod). the values of ph, electrical conductivity (ec), and dissolved oxygen (do) were monitored routinely. however, analysis of total cod, soluble cod (sco...
