The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a native of the Mediterranean basin with several applications in the food, textile and cosmetics industries [1]. It belongs to the Caesalpinaceae sub-family of the family Leguminoseae [2].The pods of the carob fruit have long been used as a feed for livestock and in human nutrition, including sweets, biscuits and processed drinks, because of its high sug...

Five reproductive efficiency methods (REM) were evaluated under field condition to measure yield in 12 varieties of Brassica campestris L. in 2005 and 2006 at Mymensingh (2475′ N latitude and 9050′ E longitude) based on flower and siliqua production and total reproductive unit (TRUnumber of buds, flowers, siliqua and number of empty pedicels). Five REMs were estimated and they were REM-I [ (Mat...

Ceratonia siliqua were screened for their polyphenol content and antioxidant ability. A formulation of emulsion using the seed oil galactomannans was assessed. Results showed that maceration contained greatest amount phenolics in organs. The best capacity found seeds extract soxhlet method. chromatographic analysis carob organs predominance gallic acid fruits pods.Fatty composition dominated by...

The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a typical Mediterranean species with over 4000-year history. From ancient Egyptians to Cretans, products have been used as emergency food in the absence of basic goods. In previous few decades, global agricultural economy has replaced traditional crops more profitable ones, which led soil degradation and greater requirement for inputs. rediscovery use pl...

Seasonal variations in leaf nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentrations were studied in a mature carob (Ceratonia siliqua L. cv "Mulata") orchard subjected to a 4-year irrigation and fertilization experiment. Three irrigation regimes (0, 50 and 100%), based on the evaporation values obtained from a class A pan, were tested in combination with two nitrogen (N) supply regimes in which 21 kg...
