: The applications of natural antimicrobial compounds from plants in food becomes very frequent. Olive leaves extracts were assessed as antimicrobial agents. Petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, methanol, and ethanol 50% were used for extraction of phytochemicals and disk diffusion method was applied against tested bacterial strains. Ethanol 50% revealed the greater extraction yield 22.5% followed by methanol 8.2%. Ethyl acetate, methanol, and ethanol 50% extracts showed good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive strains at concentration 10 mg/disk whereas Listeria monocytogenes was the most susceptible strain followed by Staphylococcusaureus. In agreement with the current trend of raising the value to natural resources, the direct addition of natural compounds to food is the most common method of application. Olive leaves powder was added to minced meat as a preservative at concentrations of crude extract percent of ethanol 50% equivalent to dried olive leaves powder: 16 and 32 mg crude extract per gram of meat. Results indicated that minced meat treated with olive leaves powder showed a decrease in total viable count as well as total coliform count in comparison with control along storage period at 4 : 6°C. Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichiacoli were killed by the effect of olive leaves powder addition in meat samples. Organoleptic evaluation showed that olive leaves powder at concentration 16 mg/g enhanced the taste of minced meat with no significant differences in comparison with control sample in other sensory attributes.

: This research aimed to examine the impacts of foliar application of CPPU at a rate of 20, 40, or 60 µM, K at a rate of 5, 10, or 15 mM, or proline at a rate of 2, 4, or 6 mM on growth, late fruit yield, and fruit quality of fig trees under adverse conditions of late season (leaf senescence and low temperature). This research was conducted using 4-and 5-year-old fig trees in the 2019 and 2020 seasons, respectively. The obtained findings explore that all the applied concentrations of CPPU, K, or proline markedly improved growth traits such as average leaf number per branch, leaf area per branch, leaf dry weight, and leaf dry matter content. In addition, the late fig yield (average fruit number per branch and fruit weight) and fruit quality traits (average fruit volume, total soluble sugars, total soluble soils, and titratable acidity) were significantly improved compared to the control. Among all applied treatments, including the control, 40 µM CPPU was the best treatment conferring the best growth, yield, and fruit quality traits. Therefore, the findings of this report recommend the use of 40 µM CPPU for promoting late fruit yield and fruit quality traits of fig trees.

The short shelf-life of strawberry fruits is the main challenge for transportation over long distances during export and import around the world. Adding postharvest treatments could increase fruits decay during transportation. Thus, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of pre-harvest applications with different rates of calcium chloride (0.5, 1, and 2 %) and potassium silicate (0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 %) on growth, yield, fruit characteristics, shelf-life for 7 days at 10°C on the content of bioactive compounds, and the activity of enzymes in strawberries. The results indicated that calcium chloride and potassium silicate significantly increased leaves number, plant fresh weight, chlorophyll percentage, plant leaf area, and dry matter compared to the control. Additionally, calcium chloride and potassium silicate significantly increased total yield, marketable yield, fruit length, fruit weight, and fruit diameter. Calcium chloride was the most effective treatment for decreasing weight loss and increasing fruit firmness and total anthocyanin compared to other treatments. Moreover, potassium silicate was the most effective treatment for enhancing vitamin C. Both compounds significantly increased total sugar, antioxidant capacity, and peroxidase (POD) activity. Our results offer crucial data for commercial producers to increase production, enhance postharvest quality, and extend shelf life, thus permitting a wider range of strawberry retail marketing.

Batsch) cv."Florida Prince" grown on "Nemaguard" rootstock was grown in a newly reclaimed land at a private farm, in Wadi El Natroun District, Beheira Governorate, Egypt to study the response of the drought-stressed peach trees to foliar application of selenium (Se) and Glycine betaine (GB) on vegetative growth and Physiological characteristics, trees grown under deficit irrigation "DI 70 " (70% of water use) in sandy soil. Glycine betaine (GB) was used to spray the peach tree foliage at 3 levels (0, 25, and 50 mM) and Selenium (Se)was sprayed at (0, 20, and 40 ppm). The Results indicated that the tree was irrigated with highest amount of irrigation water applied "FI 100 " (100% WU) produced the highest significant values of vegetative growth. "DI 70 " (70% WU) treatments significantly decreased vegetative growth. Foliar application of GB reduced the negative impacts of water stress, and produced the maximum significant values of averages of shoot length (SL), number of leaves per shoot (NLS), and leaf area LA (cm) 2 . It was also concluded that, foliar application of GB with 50 mM/l, and Selenium (Se) 20 ppm can be enhanced the vegetative growth and physiological characteristics of peach trees grown under deficit Irrigation Stress "DI 70 ".

: The research aimed to study the financial evaluation of drying fresh onions enterprise in Fayoum Governorate “A case study of Green Land Factory”, through using discounting and non-discounted Financial Evaluation measurements. The Results showed that the value of the internal rate of return was about 25%, and this is considered a rate of return that exceeds the rate of lending in commercial banks, which indicates that the project is financially feasible, also the ratio of benefits to costs was about 1.06 pounds, and this indicates that every pound spent gives net benefits estimated at about 0.06 pounds, and this is also considered a good indicator for investment, as the return on investment reached about 10%, meaning that every pound invested in the project achieves a net return estimated at about 10 cent, while the net return to revenue ratio was about 10%, which indicates that the total revenue covers the total costs with a surplus, and the capital recovery period is about four years. And by using sensitivity analysis, it was found that an increase in the price of a ton of fresh raw onions by 5% leads to a decrease in the internal rate of return from 25% to 18%, with an estimated decrease of about 26%, and the increase in labor wages by 10% leads to a decrease in the internal rate of return from 25% to 22 % by an estimated decrease of 9%, and the increase in the packaging cost by 20% leads to a decrease in the internal rate of return from 25% to 24% with a decrease rate estimated at 4%, and the increase in gas costs by 10% leads to a decrease in the internal rate of return from 25% to 24%, with estimated decrease about 2%, and the increase in water costs by 20% leads to a decrease in the internal rate of return from 25% to 24%, with decrease estimated about 2%, and the increase in dried onion ton price by 2.5% and increasing the costs by 5% lead to a decrease in the internal rate of return from 25% to 19%, with a decrease about 23%. The research recommends mainly to pay more attention to current dried onion enterprises by providing many production and marketing capabilities, in addition to providing more investment opportunities in establishing new enterprises in this sector.

: Drug-resistant microorganisms are on the rise, posing a danger to successful bacterial illness treatment and increasing the demand for new antibacterial drugs. Natural products are currently and will continue to be the principal source of antibacterial therapeutic agents. This study's aim was to assess the antibacterial effects of Cinnamon essential oil (EO) alone and in combination with several traditional antibiotics against multi-drug resistant Staphylococcussp. The antibacterial efficacy was determined using the disc diffusion method. As a result, cinnamon oil possesses antibacterial properties with MICs were 1.25 mgml -1 and 2.5 mgml -1 for S.epidermidisandS.aureus, respectively. Commercial antimicrobials and essential oil work together most effectively when combined. Scanning electron microscopy revealed morphological alterations in Staphylococcus cells, indicating cell membrane damage. Cinnamon essential oil composition was assessed using GC/MS with polonicumtoxin B (14.71%), linalool (5.36%), cinnamaldehyde (3.37%), 5, 5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-1-phenyl-1-hexen-3-one (6.47%), 2-methyl benzofuran (5.79%), and 1,2-propanediol (6.32%). This study presented a natural product as a substitute for chemical therapeutics, addressing the problem of antibiotic resistance.
