BACKGROUND: Chicken meat is susceptible to microbial and chemical contamination and using antimicrobial agents helps to prolong its shelf-life. OBJECTIVES: This study focuses on the effect of chitosan-based coating and Trachyspermum ammi essential oil on qualitative properties of refrigerated chicken fillet meat. MATERIAL and METHODS: chicken fillets treated with chitosan solution (2 %wv-1) and...

In agricultural experimentation, a large number of genotypes are normally tested over a wide range of environments (locations, years, growing seasons, etc.) and the underlying statistical and genetical theories used to model this system may be rather complicated. The occurrence of the genotype (G) X environment (E) interaction effect further complicates the selection of superior genotypes for a...

Objective: Reactive oxygen species and free radicals generate oxidative stress in the living cells associated with number of chronic diseases. Current research is directed towards finding naturally occurring antioxidants of plant origin. Hence, this study was aimed to determine phytochemical analysis, antioxidant and free radical scavenging potential of ethanolic seed extract of Trachyspermum a...

Abstract Seven field experiments were conducted at three experiment stations representing major sugarcane producing regions in Egypt. Each comprised a randomized complete block design with replications. Fourteen elite breeding lines typical of those routinely generated the final selection stages programs Egypt, along one check variety (GT54-9) evaluated for cane and sugar yield this study durin...

Stability analysis of grain yield is an efficient tool for the selection varieties adapted to fairly wide cultivation zone. A study aims determine adaptability and stability agronomic performance 10 elite Doubled Haploid (DH) rice genotypes generated through another culture technique, along with local cultivar Umgar as a check under irrigated lowland conditions in three different environments c...
