This study was carried out on fruit of local orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) grown at private orchard Diyala governorate / Iraq, to the effect dipped fruits for 10 min in (0, 1, 2, 3% citric acid, 5 and 10% ginger) quality during 65- 105-days cold storage 5+1 with 85- 90% RH. Dipping acid solution reduced fruit's weight loss decay. Ginger extract significantly reserved acidity, total sugar s...

Recent research suggests that systemic signalling and communication between roots and leaves plays an important role in plant defence against herbivores. In the present study, we show that the oviposition of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae in the systemic leaves of citrus rootstock Citrus aurantium (sour orange) was reduced by 50% when a lower leaf was previously infested with c...

in this paper, leaching of lead and cadmium was investigated from porcelain over glaze designs between different colors.  also the effect of microwave heating was considered on leaching of lead and cadmium.  dishes were selected with a decor with the dominant color of gray, red, yellow, blue, and dark blue. amounts of cadmium and lead which leached from the container by acetic acid and orange j...

Preliminary studies by Beers et a2. (1) have shown that the zinc salt of acridine orange can either inhibit or accelerate the rate of polymerization of polynucleotides by polynucleotide phosphorylase of Micrococcus lysodeileticus, depending upon the experimental conditions. We have now confirmed these findings with the zinc-free dye. Some evidence for a reversal of inhibition with degraded ribo...

Consumers increasingly require innovative food products with health benefits. Thus, a dried orange juice incorporating probiotics could be a novel challenge. In this context, we investigated whether different sugars added to the culture media used for growth of two lactic acid bacteria contributed to their protection during spray drying in orange juice and subsequent storage under different con...

Monascus purpureus C322 was cultivated on well-established production media to yield prevailingly red or orange pigment-rich ethanolic extracts. Once these extracts had been diluted by an overall factor of 50, they were used as such to dye raw wool standard specimens differently premordanted using alum or stannic chloride. Independently of the mordant used, the specimens dyed with the red pigme...

The relative performance of a clear delta trap baited with individual or combination sex pheromone and kairomone lures for codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., was evaluated against three vertical clear pane and colored delta traps in field trials within apple, Malus domestica (Borkhausen). The clear caught significantly more moths of each sex than an orange delta trap when baited with ethyl (E,Z)...

Background: The compositions of Ferrous sulphate, Agarose and Xylenol orange dye (FAX) and Ferrous sulphate, Gelatin and Xylenol orange dye (FGX) in solution of distilled water and sulphuric acid are two tissue-equivalent gel dosimeters. Ionizing radiation causes oxidation of Fe ion to Fe ions which diffuse through the gel matrix and blur the image of absorbed dose over a period of hours after ...

effect of different ratios of sucrose to fruit concentrate (orange and sour cherry), level of cacl2 (0-2%) and storage time (0-90 days) on physicochemical properties of candied apples were investigated using of a combined design. different quality indices such as total sugars content, ascorbic acid, color attribute (chroma) and overall acceptance were modeled and then multiobjective optimizatio...
