As one of the greatest agricultural challenges, yield prediction is an important issue for producers, stakeholders, and global trade market. Most variation in attributed to environmental factors such as climate conditions, soil type cultivation practices. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) random forest regression (RFR) are machine learning tools that used unambiguously crop prediction. There limited research regarding application these mathematical models rapeseed quality. A four-year study...

Lavandula sp. essential oil and hydrolate are commercially valuable in various industry branches with the potential for wide-ranging applications. This study aimed to evaluate quality of these products obtained from L. x intermedia cv. ‘Budrovka’ first time cultivated on Fruška Gora Mt. (Serbia) during three successive seasons (2019, 2020, 2021). Essential extraction was by steam distillation, composition influence weather conditions were also assessed, using flowering tops. The oils...

Raspberries are considered valuable fruits due to their high levels of nutrients and phytochemicals, which have many beneficial effects on humans. As external factors affect the composition these (the type cultivation, soil characteristics, ripeness, storage time post-harvest technologies, cultivar/genotype, climatic conditions), goal this study was analyze different raspberry cultivars grown in Norway. Considering that Norway is a country with specific conditions, as well has limited period...

Mass transfer of pork meat cubes (M. triceps brachii), shaped as 1x1x1 cm, during osmotic dehydration (OD) and under atmospheric pressure was investigated in this paper. The effects different parameters, such concentration sugar beet molasses (60-80%, w/w), temperature (20-50?C), immersion time (1-5 h) terms water loss (WL), solid gain (SG), final dry matter content (DM), activity (aw), were using experimental results. Five artificial neural network (ANN) models developed for the prediction...

Using modern analytical techniques, a comprehensive study of the chemical composition fruits from apple cultivars grown in Western Norway during 2019 and 2020 was done. Metals, sugars, organic acids, antioxidant tests, polyphenol content have been observed. In all investigated samples, most dominant sugars were glucose, fructose, sucrose. Among 11 tested malic acid, followed by citric maleic acid. The common metal potassium, magnesium zinc. quantification polyphenols showed that among...

Maize is the most widespread and, along with wheat, important staple crop in Republic of Serbia, which great significance for ensuring national food security. With increasing demand and forage, intensive agricultural practices have been adopted maize production systems. In this direction, considerable research efforts made to examine effects different types cover crops as a green manure on productivity; however, no consistent conclusions reached so far. Therefore, objective present study...

Road traffic accidents are a significant public health issue, accounting for almost 1.3 million deaths worldwide annually, with millions more experiencing non-fatal injuries. A variety of subjective and objective factors contribute to the occurrence accidents, making it difficult predict prevent them on new road sections. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have demonstrated their effectiveness in predicting using limited data sets. This study presents two ANN models common roads Republic...

This paper is a study of the chemical composition Hyssopus officinalis ssp. grown during three years (2017–2019) at Institute Field and Vegetable Crops Novi Sad (Vojvodina Province, Serbia). Furthermore, comparisons with ISO standards were also investigated, as well prediction model retention indices compounds from essential oils. An oil obtained by hydrodistillation analysed GC-FID GC-MS was isopinocamphone chemotype. The gathered information about volatile H. used to classify samples using...

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the volatile compounds from fruits aniseed (Pimpinella anisum), coriander (Coriandrum sativum), and fennel (Foeniculum vulgare). Essential oils (EOs) hydrolates (HYs) were extracted via steam distillation under industrial conditions analysed using GC‐MS. Sixty‐five components, primarily oxygenated monoterpenes, identified, highlighting trans‐anethole, linalool, fenchone as major constituents in respective essential oils. Comparative revealed...

The flowers of Santolina chamaecyparissus have a distinct aroma and taste, with wide range applications in medicine, food, packaging. Its essential oil offers numerous health benefits, including antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anticancer, antidiabetic, spasmolytic, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, antiparasitic properties. Additionally, it is used as flavoring agent food beverages natural preservative edible coatings for This study investigates the chemical composition...

The present study investigated the effect of incorporating 10, 20, and 30% apple powder obtained by freeze-drying, produced with osmotic pre-treatment in sugar beet molasses solution, into muffins. was freeze-dried introduced as a whole spelt wheat flour replacement products were for their chemical composition technological properties, subjected to sensory analysis well consumer acceptance test. Increasing substitution level from 0 lowered protein, starch, fat content, while moisture sugar,...

The osmotic dehydration (OD) of celery root in sugar beet molasses was studied at three temperatures (20, 35, and 50 °C) immersion periods (1, 3, 5 h) order to examine the changes antioxidant potential phenolic profile throughout process. capacity (AOC) dehydrated samples evaluated by spectrophotometric polarographic assays, total content Folin-Ciocalteu method, individual compounds HPLC-DAD. As a result OD molasses, AOC phenols increased proportionally augmentation temperature time....

Yeasts are considered an extraordinary alternative source of natural carotenoids and pigmented terpenoids with multiple applications. Production by yeast fermentation technology has many benefits; it is cost-effective, easily scalable, safe. The aim this research the isolation yeasts from resources selection most potent bioagent for carotenoid production. Additionally, upgraded extraction protocol we established, which implies testing four methods cell lysis (hydrochloric acid treatment,...

Unlike other studies that only determined the chemical composition of essential oils depending on their geographic origin, this research investigated effect weather conditions (temperature, precipitation, and insolation) Nepeta nuda L. oil. The collection wild-growing N. was carried out during three successive years, 2019, 2020, 2021 at Rtanj Mountain (Serbia) same date (July 7th). Essential oil extraction from plant performed by hydro-distillation. After gas chromatographic-mass...
