: Wheat is the most widely cultivated food crop on the planet, and it feeds the majority of the world's population. The field experiment was performed from 2019 to 2021 in the eastern part of Loess Plateau, China Nitrogen (N) fertilizer application improves winter wheat yield. It was necessary to analyze the nitrogen utilization of different varieties and screen varieties with high yield and high nitrogen utilization. Six dryland wheat varieties YH-20410, YH-618, YH-805, JM-92, C-6359, and LH-6 were selected to compare the differences in nitrogen uptake and utilization yield, and quality. The aim was to provide theoretical basis for high yield, and high-efficiency wheat production in dryland of southeast loess Plateau. The results showed that the rainfall during the fallow period from 2019 to 2021 was 245.5 mm and 288.9 mm, respectively, and the nitrogen application rate was 180 kg ha –1 .The highest transshipment amount, and transshipment rate of nitrogen before anther were found in YH-618, which reached 79.4 kg ha –1 and 58.6%, respectively. The yield of wheat cultivar YH-20410 was the highest, reaching 4890 kg ha –1 , which was significantly higher than that of YH-805, JM-92, C-6359

: Utilizing food waste is crucial for several reasons, including preserving valuable ingredients, lowering formulation costs, taking advantage of its functional properties, and preserving the environment. Grapefruit waste (GW) and Tomato waste (TW) are used in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion formulation to investigate their contributions to emulsion stability, textural parameters, and steady shear rheological properties of the model system. O/W emulsions were formed with four different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3%) of GW and TW, and chicken breast meat and corn oil were the main components of emulsions. Both food wastes increased emulsion stability (ES) in most concentrations compared to the control. The best ES of 86.35 was observed at a concentration of 1% TW emulsion. Emulsions were subjected to texture profile analysis as both row and heat-treated. Heat-treated emulsions had higher hardness values (241.2-518.6 g) than the row emulsions (149.7-247.2 g). All emulsions were found to have pseudoplastic character and exhibit shear thinning behavior. All emulsion samples' apparent viscosity fit well with the Ostwald-de-Waele model (R 2 >0.9). Food waste samples used in the study improved the chicken-type O/W emulsion properties in terms of emulsion stability and textural properties.

: The insertion of new distributed energy resources, such as distributed generation (DG), energy storage systems (ESS), demand response (DR), and microgrids (MG), is emerging, bringing new challenges to the current distribution network. In this regard, the active distribution networks (ADN) with multi-microgrids concept appears. The present paper proposes a hierarchical (master-slave problem) computational model to achieve optimal coordinated operation of multi-microgrids connected to an ADN. Day-ahead operation planning of an ADN was formulated as a multiperiod non-linear optimal power flow model, resulting in a non-linear optimization problem, additionally, the day-ahead operation planning of MGs was formulated as a multiperiod linearized optimal power flow resulting in a mixed-integer linear optimization problem. Numerical results on four different test-system microgrids connected to a 359-nodes ADNs test-system belonging to a Brazilian distribution company show the effectiveness of the proposed model and solution strategy. Three cases have been tested: with a maximum load-shedding restriction, without this restriction, and considering insertion of DG. Besides, the hierarchical model can evaluate how much losses and load shedding take effect

: Iris sari Schott ex Baker, an endemic plant, has a natural distribution in Turkey. The plant, also known as “Ana kurtkulağı, Bahar çiçeği” among the people, has showy flowers. Chromosome doubling in the plant was successfully performed with colchicine applied to the micro bulbs of the I. sari obtained in vitro . The different colchicine doses and treatment times tested with I. sari were: 0.1 and 0.5% (2, 4, and 6 hours). The resulting polyploid plantlets were determined by flow cytometric analysis. The highest tetraploid plant yield was observed after 4 h of treatment with 0.1% colchicine. From a total of 45 surviving plantlets, 3 were detected. At the end of the applications, the control and other groups were compared in terms of the viability rates of plants. After 2 subcultures of in vitro conditions, the highest viability rate in plantlets was observed with the control group and 0.1% colchicine for 4 h application, 62.97%, and 67.12%, respectively. Also, I. sari putative tetraploid plantlets had fewer and larger stomata than the control, confirming the data. Although the best ratios in terms of stomata length and width (49.04 and 30.52 mm) were come off after 4 h of 0.5% colchicine treatment, tetraploid was not obtained as a result of this application.

: Royal Jelly (RJ) is a unique functional food having rich nutrient composition. Due to its extremely sensitive and perishable nature, the cold chain is inevitable to maintain the biological properties of RJ. Microencapsulation is considered as an alternative technology for commercial RJ forms, owing to the elimination of cold-chain requirements. The objective of the study is to evaluate the microencapsulation of RJ and its protective effect on the 10-HDA content as well as on the antimicrobial activity during a defined storage period. Microcapsules were formed by utilizing alginate cross-linking technique in the encapsulator (Buchi B-390, Flawil, Switzerland) under 450 mbar. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of fresh and microencapsulated royal jelly (MRJ) was examined, comparatively. The possible changes in antimicrobial activity in the 1st, 3rd, and 6th months were evaluated considering the changes in 10-HDA levels. The antimicrobial efficiency of RJ on test bacteria ( Micrococcus luteus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli ) and yeast ( Candida albicans, Candida parapsilosis ) was maintained throughout the storage period. On the other hand, antifungal activity on test molds ( Penicillium digitatum, Aspergillus flavus ) slightly decreased from the 3rd month. No significant difference between 10-HDA contents was observed until the end of storage ( p ˃0.05). The results indicate that microencapsulation retains the 10-HDA content of RJ for six months and is a promising method enabling storage at room temperature.

: Lipids extracted from microalgae for biofuel production have drawn the attention of researchers. Various methods for quantification of neutral lipids, such as solvent extraction or gravimetric, require a large volume of sample and are time-consuming. In this work, Nile Red was employed to evaluate the lipid content in microalgae Scenedesmus sp. through 2D fluorescence spectroscopy using chemometric modeling with a selection of wavelength pairs reducing the variable numbers. Cultivation of microalgae for 10 days was performed. Samples were taken starting after the 5th day of cultivation. Microalgae samples were dried using an oven with tangential airflow and the conventional Bligh and Dyer method for lipid extraction was employed. Before the measurement of fluorescence, the samples were diluted in ethanol at 40°C for 10 minutes, and then Nile Red solution (10 µg/mL ethanol) was added. The results of lipid quantification using the proposed technique achieved mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) lower than 5% and correlation coefficients around 0.99 in the test phase. Linear models using four excitation-emission pairs of fluorescence were fitted and were selected based on Pure Spectral Chemometric Modelling (PSCM). The method for lipid quantification using predictive linear models and 2D fluorescence proved to be robust and fast (requiring less than 30 min) compared to the conventional gravimetric method (which takes at least 5 hours) to obtain comparable results.

HIGHLIGHTS The influence of modified atmospheric packaging and storage conditions including, temperature, and relative humidity on shelf-life and quality of tomatoes of natural farming and chemical farming is compared. Zero energy cool chamber was optimized for extending the shelf-life of tomatoes Tukey’s HSD was used for significant mean separation of quality parameters and CRD and RBD designs were used for analyzing quality attributes during storage. This paper investigated and presented a comparison of quality parameters of SPNF and CHEM tomatoes as well as changes during storage. Abstract A study was conducted to record the effect of modified atmospheric packaging (MAP), storage conditions (ambient, zero energy cool chamber and refrigerated) as well as storage period on shelf-life and quality of tomatoes produced through Subhash Palekar natural farming (SPNF) and chemical farming (CHEM) systems. Freshly harvested tomatoes (SPNF and CHEM) packed in LDPE pouches (25.40 μm and 10 pin holes/100 cm2 area) and without packaging were stored under ambient (27±2 °C and 70±2% RH), zero energy cool chamber (ZECC) (17±2 °C and 82 ±2 % RH) and low temperature conditions (10±2 ºC and 90 % RH) for shelf-life studies. The shelf-life comparison was done at every two days’ interval up to 24 days based on physiological loss in weight (PLW) and spoilage percentage. SPNF and CHEM tomatoes were compared on the basis of quality attributes (firmness, acidity, TSS, sugars, total phenols, antioxidant activity etc.), mineral content and sensory characteristics. Results revealed that tomato stored in refrigerated condition had significantly (p ˂0.05) lowest PLW and spoilage incidence and highest sensory acceptability up to 24 days and was at par with ZECC stored tomatoes. Quality evaluation indicated that tomatoes grown under SPNF system contained a higher amount of total solids, total sugars, reducing sugars, ascorbic acid, total phenols and ash. The results showed that tomatoes with MAP and stored under refrigerated storage condition retained maximum quality up to 24 days followed by tomatoes stored under ZECC (18 days) compared to 12 days at ambient conditions.

Abstract A study was conducted to record the effect of modified atmospheric packaging (MAP), storage conditions (ambient, zero energy cool chamber and refrigerated) as well as storage period on shelf-life and quality of tomatoes produced through Subhash Palekar natural farming (SPNF) and chemical farming (CHEM) systems. Freshly harvested tomatoes (SPNF and CHEM) packed in LDPE pouches (25.40 μm and 10 pin holes/100 cm2 area) and without packaging were stored under ambient (27±2 °C and 70±2% RH), zero energy cool chamber (ZECC) (17±2 °C and 82 ±2 % RH) and low temperature conditions (10±2 ºC and 90 % RH) for shelf-life studies. The shelf-life comparison was done at every two days’ interval up to 24 days based on physiological loss in weight (PLW) and spoilage percentage. SPNF and CHEM tomatoes were compared on the basis of quality attributes (firmness, acidity, TSS, sugars, total phenols, antioxidant activity etc.), mineral content and sensory characteristics. Results revealed that tomato stored in refrigerated condition had significantly (p ˂0.05) lowest PLW and spoilage incidence and highest sensory acceptability up to 24 days and was at par with ZECC stored tomatoes. Quality evaluation indicated that tomatoes grown under SPNF system contained a higher amount of total solids, total sugars, reducing sugars, ascorbic acid, total phenols and ash. The results showed that tomatoes with MAP and stored under refrigerated storage condition retained maximum quality up to 24 days followed by tomatoes stored under ZECC (18 days) compared to 12 days at ambient conditions.","PeriodicalId":9169,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67463382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

: The use of melatonin ( MEL ) on plants has recently become widespread. Melatonin ( MEL ) was used as elicitor in the leaf-derived sage ( Salvia officinalis L.) callus culture, which allows production in a short time regardless of environmental factors. MEL was applied to the calli in various concentrations
