Once in soil and water, metals can enter the food chain, consumption of contaminated crops pose a serious risk to human health. This study used pot experiments evaluate accumulation metal elements their influence on levels antioxidants vegetables. The current clearly demonstrates that accumulated five vegetables were planted soils, especially so for water spinach. Cd all soils was greater Cu. l...

Abstract Red spinach is leafy vegetable containing a high concentration of carotenoid such as lutein, which shows benefits in anti-cancer and antioxidant to protect eye health from oxidative stress caused by cataracts age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Because the potential activity against disease, extraction obtain lutein this urgently needed. Generally, vegetables extracted leaf. This s...

(3Z)-Hexenol, which is commonly called leaf al­ cohol, and (2£)-hexenal, also called leaf aldehyde, are widely distributed in fresh leaves, vegetables and fruits. They are mainly responsible for the socalled “green odour” characteristic of leaves, along with other C6-compounds such as (3£")-, and (2£)-hexenols, their corresponding aldehydes (3Z)-, (3£")-hexenals, «-hexanol and «-hexanal. Thus, ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the psychometric properties of a vegetable parenting practices scale using multidimensional polytomous item response modeling which enables assessing item fit to latent variables and the distributional characteristics of the items in comparison to the respondents. We also tested for differences in the ways item function (called differential item functioning) across child's...

AIMS The major objective of this study was to determine the effects of low levels of Escherichia coli O157:H7 contamination on plant by monitoring the survival of the pathogen on the rhizosphere and leaf surfaces of lettuce during the growth process. METHODS AND RESULTS Real-time PCR and plate counts were used to quantify the survival of E. coli O157:H7 in the rhizosphere and leaf surfaces af...

The residue behavior of chlorpyrifos, which is one of the extensively used insecticides all around the world, in six vegetable crops was assessed under greenhouse conditions. Each of the vegetables was subjected to a foliar treatment with chlorpyrifos. Two analytical methods were developed using gas chromatography equipped with a micro-ECD detector (LOQ = 0.05 mg kg(-1)) and liquid chromatograp...
