The species Gracilariopsis persica was first described by Bellorin et al. (2008). G. persica grows from late September to July and shows high growth rate from January to May in the Persian Gulf. Tissue growth and branch induction of red seaweed, Gracilariopsis persica from the Persian Gulf investigated under various culture levels of temperature, light intensity, photoperiod, salinity, initial ...

Alfalfa is usually wilted 15% or less moisture prior to baling for hay. However, harvesting at low moistures increases loss of leaves (protein) during baling and reduces nutritive value. In addition, long wilting times increases the risk for damage from rain. In order to retain more nutrients and prevent rain damage, hay can be baled at higher moistures but the risk of spoilage from undesirable...

Preservatives such as benzoic acid and parabens are being tested on a regular basis by regulatory authorities and food testing laboratories as they are widely found in condiments and beverages such as fruit juices, sports drinks and soft drinks. The consumption of excessive amount of preservatives can lead to adverse health effects such as allergy. Also, the levels of these preservatives in foo...

Micronized and nano-copper (Cu)-based and arsenic and chromium-free systems have received much attention for wood protection in recent years. Because they have different fixation, and micro-distribution properties, such copper systems may be more or less subject to release using known remediation methods than soluble forms of Cu. This study evaluated Cu recovery from wood treated with micronize...

abstract: the growing interest in substitution of chemical food preservatives by naturalones has fostered researchs on plantessentiak oils and extracts. in this study effect of different concentrations of zataria multiflora boiss. essential oil (0, 0.005, 0.015 and 0.03%) on bacillus cereus atcc 11778, (103cfu /ml), was evaluated using sterilized samples (16 bottles containing 80 ml barley soup...
