background: summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) is one of the most important medicinal and spice plants cultivated in many parts of the world. objective: a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of feso4 and citric acid application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and its component, gamma-terpinene in s. hortensis. methods: feso4 in four levels (0, 3, 4 ...

objective: polyphenol oxidase or ppo (ec 1.14.18.1) is considered the enzyme responsible for quality deterioration and browning in different fruits during postharvest period. the objective of this study was to evaluate the antibrowning (inhibition of polyphenol oxidase activity) effect of cysteine, ascorbic acid, citric acid, kojic acid and glycine at two different ph (6 and 7) in  hawthorn. me...

Chromium-VI would impose detrimental effects morphological, physiological, and metabolic in plants. This study aimed to research the impact of citric acid (0, 2.5 and 5 mM), on different the morphological and physiological characteristics of garden cress exposed to chromium-VI stress (0, 1, and 10 mM). Results showed that some growth parameters, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and DPPH activity decre...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), citric acid, and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), alone or in combination, on reducing the population of four foodborne pathogens, including Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus on eggshells. In each series of tests, eight fresh eggs were inoculated with each bact...

background: white button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) is a sensitive agricultural crop whose antioxidant properties are decreased during postharvest storage. in this study, the effect of citric acid dipping treatment on bioactive components and antioxidant properties of sliced button mushroom (agaricus bisporus) was investigated. methods: fresh mushrooms soaked in chilled citric acid solution a...

for evaluation of citric acid and citrate effects on bovine epididymal protoplasmic droplets, fifty bovine testes were collected in the october 2007 till june 2008 from urmia slaughterhouse and transported to the laboratory in a cool container filled with 5 °c ice pack. caudal epididymis was incised and sperm cells were put into petri dishes containing hams f10 media with 10% fetal calf serum (...

Cut gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) flowers are sensitive to microbial contamination and have short vase life. The effect of salicylic acid, citric acid and ascorbic acid (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1) was evaluated on vase life of gerbera flowers. Changes in vase life, water absorption, and bacterial population in stem and vase solution, also biochemical characteristics such as protein concentration, li...
