Attempts to establish a relationship between peanut skin color (PSC) and total flavonoid (TF) content have produced inconclusive results. This study investigated the potential of PSC as a biomarker for polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity. Peanut cultivars were objectively evaluated for their skin color, total phenolic (TP), flavonoid (TF), proanthocyanidin (TPC) contents and antioxidant...

vacuum drying of salicornia herbacea l. was performed at different drying temperatures (50, 60, 70, and 80c) to evaluate the drying characteristics and the effect of drying temperatures on the quality of salicornia. as the drying temperature increased, the drying time decreased significantly (p< 0.05). the drying rate decreased with decrease in moisture content and increase in drying time. on ...

Human adipose stem cells (hASCs) can differentiate into a variety of phenotypes. Native extracellular matrix (e.g., demineralized bone matrix or small intestinal submucosa) can influence the growth and differentiation of stem cells. The hypothesis of this study was that a novel ligament-derived matrix (LDM) would enhance expression of a ligamentous phenotype in hASCs compared to collagen gel al...

the effect of levels of nitrogen on growth and nitrogen uptake patterns and grain protein quality of grain sorghum was investigated by two experiments which were conducted at pakdasht-tehran in 2003. in a completely randomized design with three replications, grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) hybrid h-726 was grown under greenhouse conditions using water culture technique. the first ex...

in this research, kiwifruits (hayward) were selected in two mass ranges (large and small). they were placed in one-liter glass bottles in the vicinity of the polyethylene sachets containing potassium permanganate nano-zeolite (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 g) and were stored in a germinator (5°c temperature and 30% relative humidity). then, the physicochemical properties of the fruits (soluble solid cont...

The aim of this study was to analyze effect cherry tomato paste for nitrite replacement on loin ham. Loin hams were prepared with at three levels curing solutions (control: NPS 1.2%, salt 1.2% and 1%, 3%, 5%). pH tended decrease as the amount increased. lightness decreased a significant difference increased (p&lt;0.05). Yellowness chroma increase in paste, while redness hue angle treatment 3% t...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of increasing concentrations crude glycerin, with or without ractopamine, in diet finishing barrows on carcass characteristics and pork quality. The experimental design a randomized complete block, 4 x 2 factorial scheme, four glycerin (0, 100, 150, 200 g/kg) two ractopamine (0 10 mg/kg). There no interaction between use as well there isolated...
