the experiment in this study was conducted as a completely randomized block design with ten treatments and four replications. treatments included: to- control, t1- 50g of zn per tree as broadcast application, t2-100g zn per tree, broadcast application, t3- 200g zn per tree as broadcast application, t4- 50 g zn per tree as band application, t5- 50g zn per tree, band application, t6-100g zn per t...

Two size groups (based on Total Length, TL) of Amblypharyngodon mola (small, TL=4-7cm; big, TL>7cm) were studied for availability of Ca, Fe, Zn and Vitamin A contents in its body using AAS and HPLC methods. The Ca, Fe and Zn contents of small sized A. mola were found to be significantly higher than that of big sized groups. The average Ca content was estimated to be highest (4680.223 mg.100g-1)...

The nutritional, anti-nutritional and mucilage contents of flour of leaves of two vegetables Bombax costatum leaf (BCL) and Cissus populnea leaf (CPL) were investigated. Their protein (≈19.0 g/100g in BCL and ≈13.0 g/100g in CPL) and ash (≈6.0 g/100g in BCL and ≈11.0 g/100g in CPL) contents were significantly different at P < 0.05. Both leaves were rich in Ca (BCL, 102 ± 2.5 mg/100g; CPL, 113 ±...

The proximate, nutritive and anti-nutritive composition of the leaves of Aerva lanata were determined. The leaves were found to be moderately high in carbohydrate (26.6 g/100g), crude protein (22.6 g/100g) and ash (31.2 g/100g). Mineral composition (mg/100g) revealed that the leaves were high in P (187), and moderately high in other minerals such as K (47.9), Na (39.4), Ca (51.7), Mg (41.5), Zn...

Background: Greater consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cancers. The most important nutrients present in plants are carbohydrates, such as the starch and free sugars, oils, proteins, minerals, ascorbic acid, and the antioxidant phenols. Plants are an essential component of the universe. Human beings have used those as medic...

Shen, L., Li, D., Feng, F. and Ren, Y. Nutritional composition of Polyrhachis vicina Roger (Edible Chinese black ant) Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2006, 28(Suppl. 1) : 107-114 Edible black ant (Polyrhachis vicina Roger) is a traditional edible insect species in China. It has been used as a functional ingredient in various tonics or health foods. This study determined the nutritional composi...

The proximate, phytochemicals, minerals, and anti-nutritional content of Ficus thonningii seed obtained from Nasarawa, Nasarawa State, Nigeria were investigated. proximate analysis revealed that the is abundant in ash (8.36 ± 0.77 %), protein (27.52 0.17 %) carbohydrate (40.02%) but contains low moisture (8.76 0.06 fibre (2.81 0.09 %). minerals showed very high quantities Ca (2067.50mg/100g), P...

In this study some selected chemical properties such as total soluble solids, pH, total acidity, formalin index, reduced sugar content and ascorbic acid of major sour cherry cultivated grown in different provinces of Iran corresponding were investigated.  Minerals K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cu2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ were determine...

the effect of ca, zn and b foliar application (five g l-1) and their mixed applications as well as two harvest dates (1st and 15st of august) on ppo activity of two commercial asian pears (‘ks’9 and ‘ks’13) fruits at the time of harvest and during storage were investigated. results showed that the ppo activity increased from harvest time to three months after storage and then decreased. during ...

A study on evaluation of sapota genotypes collected from different parts of India was carried out at the Department of Fruit Crops, Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam during the year 2008-2009. Observation on quantitative traits viz., tree height (m), canopy spread (m), number of fruits/tree, mean fruit weight (g) and yield of fruits/tree (kg) were recorded. In addition, ...
