... The aim of the study was to determine the effect of osmoconcentration in a sucrose and sodium chloride solution on the efficiency of lactic fermentation and the content of polyphenols and oligosaccharides in yellow and red onion varieties: Alonso, Hysky, Hystore, and Red Lady. In most cases, no negative effect of onion dehydration was noted on the growth or number of the bacteria tested. Osmotic d ...
... This study is aimed to examine onion market integration in Tamil Nadu. Fluctuations in market arrivals and consistent demand largely contribute to the price instability and market integration of onion market. The onion markets viz., Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu were chosen for this study. Monthly farm gate price of onion dominated markets for the period from 2005 to 2019 ...
onions, etc ; food science; labor; pollution; technology; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Onion bulbs contain outer papery dry peel which is rich with industrially important high-value compounds. Removal of dry peel/scale of onion is the common practice during bulb processing, storage and marketing. A conventional manual method of scale removal involves huge labour, drudgery and means of environmental pollution. An onion descaler machine has been therefore developed to mechanize this o ...

Abstract:
... Bulb development of onion (Allium cepa L) varieties exhibit different reactions to sowing date, day length, and temperature. Short- and long-day onions exhibit different reactions to day length and temperature at sowing date as it affects bulb development. Seed of short-day ‘Mirela’ and ‘Es13022ʹ, and long-day ‘White Gorgan’ was sown on 2 March and 29 October 2017 to investigate vegetative develop ...
onions, etc ; Pantoea ananatis; genes; oligodeoxyribonucleotides; phylogeny; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Species of Pantoea represent a group of plant pathogenic bacteria that infect a variety of agro-economically important plant species. Among these, a complex of P. ananatis, P. allii, P. agglomerans, and P. stewartii subsp. indologenes cause center rot in onion, resulting in significant economic losses. As species of Pantoea are phenotypically closely related, identification of Pantoea species reli ...

Abstract:
... Thrips tabaci Lind. is a global pest and also represents a serious threat to onion production in Poland. In 2 years (2015–2016) of field studies, 8 onion cultivars were evaluated to characterize the resistance to onion thrips and to determine if any biochemical and anatomical features of onion plants are associated with antixenotic and/or antibiotic mechanisms of resistance. Additionally, the infl ...

Abstract:
... The element found at the highest amount in onion samples was sulfur, and followed by K, Ca, P, Na, and Mg in decreasing order. While K contents of white onion parts are determined between 1406.31 (outer most edible) and 1758.72 mg/kg (inner most edible), K contents of the parts of brown onions were measured between 1779.79 (head) and 2495.89 mg/kg (inner most edible). Also, K amounts of purple oni ...

Abstract:
... How to achieve high sensing of Cr₂O₃-based sensors for harmful inorganic gases is still a challenge. To this end, Cr₂O₃ nanomaterials assembled from different building blocks were simply prepared by chromium salt immersion and air calcination with waste scallion roots as the biomass template. The hierarchical architecture calcined at 600 °C is constructed from nanocylinders and nanoellipsoids (nam ...

Abstract:
... Collaborations between Indigenous and non‐Indigenous scientific researchers are increasingly mandated by global to local conservation policy and research ethics guidelines. Breakdowns occur due to misunderstandings around expected protocols of engagement and cooperation, which are compounded by lack of broader awareness of differences in cultural values, priorities and knowledge systems. Using fir ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE: Lanthanides, including La, Ce, and Nd, as members of the rare-earth elements (REE) group, continue to attract the attention of researchers. Particularly lacking is data on REE toxicity in soil, which may affect specific soil types differently depending on their properties. Toxicity studies on REE-contaminated soil are therefore needed to assess the likely effects of anthropogenic impacts ...

Abstract:
... Cauliflower-onion system is gaining popularity in urban and semi-urban areas due to various reasons. The nutrient management in the system mode of intensive vegetable production is crucial for better growth and higher vegetable productivity. Along with inorganic nutrient sources, integration with organic sources has been advocated for predominant systems. But the information regarding vegetable cr ...

This paper aims to evaluate the impact of simultaneous tri-frequency ultrasound (20 + 40 + 60 kHz) combined vacuum (0.6 bar) assisted ethanol (75%) pretreatment on the infrared drying process, qualities (rehydration, flavor, surface color), and microbial safety of scallion stalk slices. The slices were pretreated with different methods, using ethanol, vacuum (Water + VC), vacuum-assisted ethanol ( ...

Abstract:
... Spinach RNA-mimicking GFP (S-RMG) has been successfully used to monitor cellular RNAs including microRNAs in bacterium, yeast, and human cells. However, S-RMG has not been established in plants. In this study, we found that like bacterial, yeast, and human cellular tRNAs, plant tRNAs such as tRNAᴸʸˢ can protect and/or stabilize the Spinach RNA aptamer interaction with the fluorophore DFHBI enablin ...
