Abstract
. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of UV-C light on lentil ( Lens culinaris ) and its conditioning by Spirulina . The main findings were: (i) Lentil brightness presented a significant slight variation (9%) when compared to the control (T 0 ) and UV-C (T 10 =10 min) irradiated lentil samples. (ii) The total flavonoids tended to increase by 17% at 10 min (49.18 μg mL -1 ) compared to T 0 (42.07 μg mL -1 ). (iii) The conditioning of lentils with UV-C (0, 5, and 10 min) and the imbibition in water with Spirulina (0, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.5%) generated significant statistical differences (p ≤ 0.05) in the seedlings. The priming cyanobacte - ria Spirulina improved the physiological quality against damage caused by UV-C radiation. (iv) Morphological changes occurred in the lentils due to radiation, damage in the testa (protective layer on the outside) area (row 1) due to the application of UV-C was found, which increases with higher exposure to radiation. Through the application of UV-C for 10 min the cell wall and protein body were damaged. However, no damage to the starch is visible. (v) FT-IR indicates that the UV-C radiation did not induce any change in the chemical structure of the starch but, decreases in intensity within the range of 3 000-3 600 cm -1 indicated differ - ences in their water content, while those between 1 600-1 700 cm -1 were attributed to the reorganization of the secondary structure of proteins.
期刊介绍:
The journal is focused on the soil-plant-atmosphere system. The journal publishes original research and review papers on any subject regarding soil, plant and atmosphere and the interface in between. Manuscripts on postharvest processing and quality of crops are also welcomed.
Particularly the journal is focused on the following areas:
implications of agricultural land use, soil management and climate change on production of biomass and renewable energy, soil structure, cycling of carbon, water, heat and nutrients, biota, greenhouse gases and environment,
soil-plant-atmosphere continuum and ways of its regulation to increase efficiency of water, energy and chemicals in agriculture,
postharvest management and processing of agricultural and horticultural products in relation to food quality and safety,
mathematical modeling of physical processes affecting environment quality, plant production and postharvest processing,
advances in sensors and communication devices to measure and collect information about physical conditions in agricultural and natural environments.
Papers accepted in the International Agrophysics should reveal substantial novelty and include thoughtful physical, biological and chemical interpretation and accurate description of the methods used.
All manuscripts are initially checked on topic suitability and linguistic quality.
