The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of an ultrasonic pretreatment at different amplitudes and extraction times, on the content of antioxidant compounds (phenolics, anthocyanins, ascorbic acid) and total antioxidant capacity of black currant fruits. Additionally, the influence of sample preparation (frozen storage/drying) was evaluated. Extraction was performed in 60% ethanol wit...

This study examines the changes in chemical composition of vegetative parts plants belonging to Rosaceae and Grossulariaceae families. The subject analysis were stems, leaves, buds raspberries, currants, blackberries. Fermentation can increase content certain polyphenols raspberries blackberries, precisely because ellagic acid, but total currant leaves decreases. flavonoid increased during ferm...

This study evaluates the feasibility of using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as a rapid and environmentally friendly technique for validation and prediction of the total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (AOA) indices (as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, inhibition time (IT) of the Briggs-Rauscher oscillating reaction, and relative antioxidant capacity (R...

We report the Eurasian species Agrilus ribesi Schaefer, 1946, for the first time from North America and propose that the damage to currants (Ribes spp.) in Ontario prior to 1940 and ascribed to A. cuprescens were caused by this species. We provide morphological diagnostic characters for A. ribesi and closely related A. cuprescens and we complement this information with DNA barcodes from four al...

background: the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the cognitive impairment and naa/cr and cho/cr ratios in the proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1hmrs), and to assess the importance of 1hmrs in the early diagnosis of cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic white matter lesions (wmls). materials and methods: a total of 45 patients (23males and 22 femal...

This study was conducted in the Laboratory of Fungus Department Biology / College Science University Qadisiyah to isolate and diagnose some insulation from fungi isolated imported dried fruits (raisins) province, Iraq. The isolations were diagnosed both morphologically microscopically using classification keys confirm appearance microscopic diagnosis polymerase chain reaction(PCR), And determin...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the qualitative properties cookies with addition raspberry, red currants and strawberry pomace flour. Cookies were prepared by substitution wheat flour berry (10%, 15% 20%) evaluated in terms their proximate composition, physical characteristics, functional sensory properties. Berry pomace-supplemented had significantly higher dietary fibre ...

Fruits have been widely consumed since the beginning of human evolution and are important source a healthy being helpful in treating various diseases as immunity boosters with presence rich amount health-promoting bioactives. Therapeutic efficacies fruit extracts reported to immune-modulatory properties influence greatly on immune system body. Given facts efficacy edible fruits improving body i...

increasing incidence of food-borne disease along with its social and economic consequences have led to conducting extensive research in order to produce safer food and develop new antimicrobial agents; among them, extensive use of probiotics and bacteriocins as biological additives is of significant importance. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the interactions (growth behavior and s...

the present study was carried out for evaluation of calcoflour white staining (cws) as a rapid method for detection of pneumocystis carinii in respiratory specimens of rats as an animal model for human infection. a total of 35 spraque – dawley rats were divided into two groups. group1 (20 rats) received increasing doses of dexamethasone subcutaneously, and group 2(15 rats)as control group that ...
