This study evaluated, for the first time, phenolic content of white (Morus alba) and black mulberry nigra) fruits with proven market aptitudes grown in Spain, one main European producers. The antioxidant activity mineral composition these promising berry were also assessed. Black clones showed higher amounts compounds than clones, although a wide intra-species variability was noted, according to principal component analysis. total anthocyanins varied significantly among M. nigra. These...
The (poly)phenolic fingerprint and antioxidant activities of the leaves white black mulberry clones grown in Spain, one main European producers, were evaluated for first time order to examine their phytochemical potential. Data showed that are rich caffeoylquinic acids (6.8–8.5 mg/g dw) flavonols (3.7–9.8 dw). It was also evidenced a wide intra-species variability existed according principal component analysis. These results can be useful value-added utilisation this underused vegetal matrix...
Abstract: Fruits of 9 Spanish pomegranate cultivars were analyzed for quality parameters, volatile composition, and sensory profile. Volatile compounds extracted using headspace solid phase micro‐extraction (HS‐SPME) by gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) flame ionization detector (GC‐FID). Twenty‐one found in the fresh juices, including aldehydes, monoterpenes, alcohols. The most abundant hexanal, limonene, trans ‐2‐hexenal, cis ‐3‐hexenol. from Mollar Elche(ME) ME14, ME1, ME2...
Agriculture is facing a great number of different pressures due to the increase in population and greater amount food it demands, environmental impact excessive use conventional fertilizers, climate change, which subjects crops extreme conditions. One solutions these problems could be biostimulant products that are rich amino acids (AAs), substitute and/or complement fertilizers help plants adapt change. To formulate products, first necessary understand role application AAs (individually or...
BACKGROUND: Pomegranate is highly valued for its health-promoting effects. Fruits of nine pomegranate cultivars were analysed volatile compounds, antioxidant activity and quality parameters, including maturity index CIEL*a*b* colour. Volatile compounds isolated from fresh juices using hydrodistillation; extracts gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Fruit colour was influenced by cultivar grouping according to their taste (sweet, sour-sweet or sour), with sweet fruits having more intense red...
Abstract: The study focused on characterizing the 10 major Moroccan cultivars to acknowledge quality and bioactive compounds of fruits. following determinations were assessed: pomegranate fruit maturity index, which truly defines juice taste, as well organic acids sugar contents, total phenols, antioxidant activity juice. cultivar per se (genotype) behaved most influencing factor conditioning profiles, activity, phenolics. assessment chemical compositions implies great potential for both...
Sufficient nutrient application is one of the most important factors in producing quality citrus fruits. One main guides planning fertilizer programs by directly monitoring plant content. However, this requires analysis a large number leaf samples using expensive and time-consuming chemical techniques. Over last 5 years, it has been demonstrated that possible to quantitatively estimate certain nutritional elements leaves spectral reflectance values, obtained near infrared spectroscopy...
Tomato is the most important horticultural crop in world. The yields for this are highest Southeastern Spain. In work we studied a commercial variety of tomato, with different soilless culture systems (deep flow technique, nutrient film and perlite substrate) three levels salinity (2.2, 6.3, 10.2 dS·m-1) typical irrigation management was carried out optimizing water use efficiency. Alterations status plants, Cl- Na+ toxicity, nutritional imbalances altered vegetative growth physiology...
Seed is the dissemination unit of plants initiating an important stage in life cycle plants. development, comprising two phases: embryogenesis and seed maturation, may define quality sown seed, especially under abiotic stress. In this review we have focused on recent advances molecular mechanisms underlying these complex processes how they are controlled by distinct environmental factors regulating ion homeostasis into tissues. The role transporters affecting first stages germination as...
Very-early apricot cultivars are interesting owing to the fact that they will be available in markets before any other cultivar. In order achieve good fruit quality, very-early apricots require appropriate size, weight and color, balance of sugars organic acids, proper content bioactive compounds, relatively strong aroma as well acceptable sensory quality.Physical, chemical, antioxidant properties showed important variations among cultivars. These differences were basically attributed...
