in order to investigate the effect of irrigation intervals and harvesting time on yield and yield components of anise (pimpinella anisum l.) a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station, university of zanjan in 2010. for this purpose a spilt-plot experiment based on complete randomized block design with three replications was used. three irrigation intervals (every 7, 1...

Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a multiple-purpose crop which has been consumed as either food or feed and recently, industrially cultivated for liquid sugar and ethanol production. Biomass and carbohydrate composition of sweet sorghum are considered as important factors for industrial productions. Thus, in this study fresh stalk yield, total sugars, sucrose content and invert su...

Normal (cv. Keumkang, KK) and waxy-type (cv. Shinmichal, SMC) whole wheat flour was substituted at 20 and 40% for white wheat flour (WF) during bread dough formulation. The flour blends were subjected to dough and baking property measurement in terms of particle size distribution, dough mixing, bread loaf volume and crumb firmness. The particle size of white wheat flour was the finest, with inc...

in order to evaluation the different sowing date and different harvest time in intercropping of maize and legume plants on maize forage quality, a randomized complete block with three replications conducted in research field of university of sari agricultural sciences and natural resources in 2011. treatments were included three legume plants (soybean, fenugreek and cowpea) at two sowing time (...

Investigations were conducted on the level of the overall proteolytic activity in flour fractions as well as fine and bruise bran, obtained from four varieties of wheat (‘Zyta’, ‘Pegassus’, ‘Sukces’, ‘Tonacja’), subjected to pre-harvest sprouting. Moreover, an analysis was conducted on the effect of pre-harvest sprouting on the functional properties of flour, determining the physical properties...

The carbohydrate contents of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is an important industrial factor for crystal sugar or bioethanol production. In this study the relationship between growth analysis and carbohydrate contents were studied to recognize the best growth stages for sweet sorghum harvesting. Five sweet sorghum cultivars and four sweet sorghum lines were evaluated for leaf area i...

Soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) quality tests (milling and baking quality) and starch characteristics (amylose concentration, X-ray diffractograms, thermal properties and pasting properties) were determined for eight granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS: waxy protein) genotypes in a soft wheat background. Lines carrying two null alleles showed reduced amylose concentrations relative to those o...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) is an important food security crop, but it is becoming an important raw material for different industrial applications. Cassava is the second most important source of starch worldwide. Novel starch properties are of interest to the starch industry, and one them is the recently identified amylose-free (waxy) cassava starch. Waxy mutants have been found in diff...
