abstract this study was carried out in japan for evaluation of the relationship between phenolic compounds and skin color indices of 3 apples cultivars including ‘fuji’, ‘jonathan’ and ‘jonagold’, in 2006. in ‘jonathan’, l* (lightness) increased with decreasing red color of skin. in ‘jonagold’, chroma increased with increasing red color. but in ‘fuji’, there was no detectable difference between...

to determine the phenolic content and antioxidant activity in some native iranian apple cultivars, some five cultivars namely: 'bekran', 'golab-e kermanshah', 'golab-e kohanz' 'golab-e sheikhi' and 'atlasi' were selected and compared with the standard cultivar 'gala'. the profiles related to four phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, quercetin-3-galactoside, catechin, and phloridzin) were deter...

In our previous work we identified the presence of meso-zeaxanthin [(3R,3'S)-zeaxanthin] in trout flesh and skin (Nolan et al., 2014), but were not able to quantify this carotenoid with the method used at that time. In the present study, we developed a protocol that allows for the quantification of lutein and the three stereoisomers of zeaxanthin [(3R,3'R)-zeaxanthin, meso-zeaxanthin and (3S,3'...

There are a few statements in Scripture which are often adduced as indisputable evidence that we cannot expect a resurrection of this body of flesh. Outstanding among these statements is in the first place Paul's re,. mark in 1 Cor. 15 : 50a: ''Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can,. not inherit the kingdom of God.''' Already in the early Churcb all who denied the resurrection of t...

Implicit surfaces, also known as blobby molecules [2], metaballs [14] or soft objects [22], are particularly suitable for modelling smoothly blended, “plasticine” objects. One of their most attractive features is their deformability. The shape of an object can be altered by simply moving the skeletal elements. A closed, smoothly blended surface is always guaranteed although the topology of an o...

The radial disposition of air in the flesh of fruit of Malus domestica Borkh., cv 'Braeburn' was investigated using a gravimetric technique based on Archimedes' principle. Intercellular air volume was measured by weighing a small tissue sample under water before and after vacuum infiltration to remove the air. In a separate procedure, the volume of the same sample was measured by recording the ...

Wastewater can supplement freshwater in agriculture; however, it contains toxic heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, and lead that are hazardous to humans the environment. We investigated effects of barley straw biochar, green table waste compost, their mix on metal transport soil uptake by potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) irrigated with synthetic wastewater for two years. In both years, amen...

Watermelon produces many byproducts (watermelon rind and skin) even though those components contain various bioactive compounds, including citrulline. This study evaluated the citrulline concentration, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity (DPPH FRAP assays) of different parts watermelon investigated bioavailability from using an in vitro human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cell monolayer...

The tolerance of ‘Apple’ banana (Musa sp.), avocado (Persea americana Mill.), mango (Mangifera indica L.), papaya (Carica papaya L.), and red ginger (Alpinia purpurata (Vieill.) K. Schum) inflorescences to carbonyl sulfide (COS) fumigation was studied. Commodities were exposed at 25°C to COS at various concentrations (1–6% (v/v) for banana; 1% and 2% for the other fruits for various times from ...
