Because the tubers deteriorate very easily during storage, it is recommended that the harvest be carried out according to use. In this work the soluble solids, inulin and reducing sugars content of three Jerusalem artichoke cultivars (Dacic, Rares and Dabuleni) grown at Agricultural Research Development Station Caracal was evaluated at two harvest times (autumn and spring). The obtained results show that the studied chemical indices vary depending on the analyzed cultivar and the stage of plant development. The tubers of the experimented Jerusalem artichoke cultivars present appreciable content of soluble solids and inulin at both harvest times. In all investigated cultivars, tubers harvested in spring have lower content of inulin and soluble solids and higher content of reducing sugars than those harvested in autumn.","PeriodicalId":183805,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Craiova Series Chemistry","volume":"14 6 Pt 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123694461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This Schiff base is N-(1-acetyl-2-oxoindolin-3-ylidene)-4-aminobenzenesulfonamide, which appears twice in each complex, but is not the only ligand in the structure, as two water molecules are also part of the coordination sphere; there also is an ionization sphere, represented by two chloride ions whose role is to equilibrate the electrical charge of the complex kernel (all the ligands being charge-free) – the general molecular formula of the complexes being thus: [ML2(H2O)2]Cl2. From the electrical point of view, we dealt with three complex compounds that all showed themselves to be electrolytes. As far as magnetic properties are concerned, two of them proved themselves to be paramagnetic, whereas the last one was found to be diamagnetic. After adding different spectral data, corroborating them with the prior information and with the elemental analysis – we have drawn the conclusion that the complexes are six-coordinated, so they all will tend to adopt an octahedral geometry.","PeriodicalId":183805,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the University of Craiova Series Chemistry","volume":"15 12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127517943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
