An Exploration on Factors Influencing Certified and Farm-Saved Seed Use: A Case Study in Turkish Wheat Farming
(2020-11-29)
Seeds are an important input for wheat-growing, as is the case for all crop production. The type and quality of seed in crop production are the first condition for productivity and accordingly certified wheat seed use is being encouraged by the government since 2005 in Turkey. This study examined the factors affecting the certified seed and farmer (farm)-saved seed use in wheat farming in Turkey. The result of the analyses showed that there is a significant difference between farmers using certified seed and farm-saved ...

The effect of edible coating with combined Thymus Vulgaris extract and glycerol monoestearate on oyster mushroom ҆s shelf life
(2020-07-30)
Shelf-life of mushrooms is very low, because of several characteristics, such as their thin epidermal structure and high respiration rates. They tend to lose their quality after harvest. Hence, mushrooms need supportive care to keep freshness. Several protective methods have been recommended. In the current study, the effect of lipid-edible coating with different doses of glycerol monoestearate and thyme extract, for the extending of edible mushroom’s shelf life was evaluated. After, preparation of aqueous thyme ...

Proximate biochemical parameters and antioxidant capacity of eight loquat genotypes (Eriobotrya Japonica Lindl.) from Zegzel Valley of Morocco
(2022-10-15)
The loquat fruit is considered as a very precious product due to its economic and health benefits. For this reason, the evaluation of their biochemical profile and antioxidant activity has become required. Indeed, healthy fruits are collected from eight loquat genotypes belonging to four regions of the Zegzel Valley. As a results, loquat fruit analysed showed a great pomological and biochemical richness. From the eight genotypes, the ‘Z1’ produced the biggest fruits (54.55 g) while ‘TA6’ had the highest sugar content ...

The effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus on the changes in the acidity of probiotic milk during storage
(2022-09-20)
The probiotic products are functional products for human health. To study the changes in the acidity of milk containing probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus, three containers containing 3 liters of sterilized low-fat milk with 1.5% fat prepared from Mihan Company were considered three groups. The results showed that the resulting changes in milk containing Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria due to acidity index were recorded in a two-hour period to reach the acidity of 42 °C in (milk) in the incubator at 38 ...
