Four aphid species (Schizaphis graminum, Sitobion avenae, Rhopalosiphum padi and Diuraphis noxia) were observed when the population dynamics of aphids in four wheat varieties analysed. Maximum abundance (104± 1.79 aphids/ plant) was during middle March. D. noxia predominant throughout (52.86.1± 0.21 56.10± 0.24 plant, respectively). The variety ANAJ-2017 showed least incidence (26.28± 0.27 being more resistant. Aphid parasitism also with parasites Aphidius ervi (15.35± 0.13) Praon volucre...
Sodium benzoate is commonly used as a food preservative to prevent deterioration. According USEPA standards, the allowable maximum for sodium in beverages 0.15%, and 0.13% fruit juice. A high intake can induce variety of illnesses humans. The current study analyzes influence various concentrations on final product quality. was tested evaluate its physiochemical, proximate, sensory properties. Acidity, pH, specific gravity, antioxidant characteristics were identified. with least amount...
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of pumpkin seed supplementation against lead-induced hepatorenal toxicity in Gallus gallus domesticus. Material and Methods: Young chickens were divided into four groups: control (G0), lead-exposed (G1), seed-treated (G2), combined lead (G3). Lead acetate (0.4 mg/kg body weight) powder (300 administered for weeks. Liver kidney function tests (ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin, urea, creatinine), lipid profiles (LDL, HDL, cholesterol,...
Objective The browning phenomenon in fruits, particularly apples, is a result of various enzymatic reactions, with polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) being the primary culprits. These enzymes catalyze oxidation phenolic compounds presence oxygen, leading to production brown pigments, and compromising quality, texture, appearance fruits. Aims This study aimed investigate methods for mitigating apples by targeting activity PPO through application chemical treatments. Given adverse impact on sensory...
