The peanut samples were stored in duplicate at 40, 50, and 60 degrees C for storage durations of up to 31 weeks. The analysis of hexa ...
... BACKGROUND: In South East Asia, concerns exist about the acceptability of peanut-based Ready-to-Use-Therapeutic-Foods (RUTF) for the treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Therefore, an alternative, culturally acceptable RUTF made from locally available ingredients and complying with local food traditions and preferences was developed. The current study evaluated its acceptability and impac ...

Abstract:
... Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L. cv. Florunner) was grown from seed sowing to plant maturity under two daytime CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) of 360 micromol mol-1 (ambient) and 720 micromol mol-1 (elevated) and at two temperatures of 1.5 and 6.0 °C above ambient temperature. The objectives were to characterize peanut leaf photosynthesis responses to long-term elevated growth [CO2] and temperature, and to ...
... A number of factors influence crop production including crop species, time of planting and sampling, level of fertilizer application, water availability (rainfall or irrigation), plant population, frequency of harvests (for perennials), soil characteristics, insect control, and weed control. A conceptual model is required within which measurements and observations can be interpreted. For this anal ...
... Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are polymers of hydroxyalkanoate, which are accumulated by many bacteria as food storage material under excess carbon source and limited nitrogen source. In our study, Enterobacter cloacae SU-1 isolated from the rhizospheric soil of Arachis hypogea was allowed to grow as batch culture in minimal media containing either glucose or lactose, and the pattern of PHA accumul ...
... In plants exposed to high metal concentrations, mechanisms to counteract the oxidative burst are crucial for its survival. To investigate the temporal sequence of physiological reactions of peanut seedlings (Arachis hypogaea L.) to cadmium exposure, seeds were cultured in increasing concentrations of CdCl₂, ranging from 50 to 300 μM. Germination frequency was scored, and the distributions of Cd in ...
... The sialylation of the glycoproteins in skeletal muscle tissue is not well investigated, even though the essential role of the sialic acids for the proper muscular function has been proven by many researchers. The invasion of the parasitic nematode Trichinella spiralis in the muscles with subsequent formation of Nurse cell-parasite complex initiates increased accumulation of sialylated glycoprotei ...
... An Agleader cotton yield monitor was modified for use as a peanut yield monitor for harvest during the 2000, 2001, and 2002 seasons. A single pair of optical sensors was mounted on the vertical portion of the delivery chute between the air fan and basket. The first season's harvest resulted in severe pitting and scarring of a glass plate used to protect the sensors from peanut and foreign material ...
