Root knot nematodes interrupt the physiology of the plant and able to cause economic importance great losses in production and quality of sugarbeet crop. Chemical nematicides are usually preferred for their effective control; the problems associated with nematicides application turned the workers vision to focus new alternative agents for nematode management programs. In this study, High throughput microcrystalline cellulose decorated silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) by different concentrations were evaluated as a nematicidal substance in outdoors pots experiment. The chosen tested concentrations were 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 ppm/ml of Ag-NPs with four replicates/ each concentration along with two methods of application [one time application (AT1) and application two times (AT2)], applied to sugarbeet pots infested with Meloidogyne incognita. Applying Ag-NPs directly to infested sugarbeet pots achieved significant suppression at p ≤ 0.05 of root-knot nematode, M. incognita in terms of reducing numbers in soil, reproductive factor, and knot disease severity%. Efficacy % that related to untreated pots and relative efficacy% that proportionated to pots treated with Ethoprop 10% G get higher potential as of Ag-NPs of concentrations get higher. Time of application AT2 enhanced the efficacy of Ag-NPs at low concentration (under 50 ppm/ml) and occasionally above 50 ppm/ml. Effects of different Ag-NPs concentrations and times of application on yield components i.e. Root yield plant(g), Top yield plant(g) and sugar yield plant(g) of infested sugarbeet plant with root-knot nematode, M. incognita, were related to degree of Ag-NPs concentration to suppress nematodes activity. Different concentrations of Ag-NPs increased yield components i.e. Root yield plant(g), Top yield plant(g) and sugar yield plant(g) even at low concentration (20 ppm/ml) in comparison with control treatment (0.0 ppm/ml). The same trend for quality as sucrose, total soluble solids (T.S.S) and purity percentages of sugarbeet infested with root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita in pots experiment. Avoidable loss percentage in roots and sugar yields plant(g) as an economic expression responded positively to different levels of Ag-NPs concentrations and to time of application AT2 in low concentration ˂50 ppm/ml.

Marjoram is also a common spicy medicinal herb. It's also used in food all over the world to add flavor. The mineral content, vitamin A content and fatty acid profile of the marjoram herb were estimated in this study. The sensory properties, quality properties, mineral content, fatty acid composition and physical properties of snacks containing marjoram powder (2.5, 5, and 7.5 %) were also assessed fatty acids (PUFA), followed by monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and saturated fatty acids (SFAs). The data revealed that the marjoram herb has mineral content. The vitamin A content of the marjoram herb, on the other hand, was 1570.36 mg/kg. Marjoram herb also contains a high amount of unsaturated fatty acids (74.35%), especially Linolenic acid (44.9 %). The results, on the other hand, showed that there were no major variations in all sensory properties between the marjoram-fortified snacks and the control snacks at p ≤ 0.05. The addition of marjoram powder to snacks improved the snack's consistency. The most prevalent fatty acids in marjoram-fortified snacks were polyunsaturated. On the other hand, Elaidic acid isomers in snacks containing marjoram powder decreased as marjoram powder levels increased. As different levels of marjoram powder were increased, all minerals present in snacks increased. When the amount of marjoram powder added was increased from 0 to 7.5 %, the water absorption index of snack samples increased and the expansion ratio decreased. Finally, adding marjoram powder to the snack formulation improved the micronutrient content, sensory quality, Tran's fatty acid content and nutritional quality of the snacks.","PeriodicalId":273673,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115277069","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}

One of such products could be sweets, such as cake and cookies. Therefore, unpuffing popcorn flour (raw popcorn flour RPF), puffing popcorn corn flour (PPF) and a mixture (1:1) from them, in addition to corn flour as a control sample, were used to prepare gluten-free cake and cookies formulas. The lowest amylose content (19.81 %) of corn flour followed by raw popcorn flour (22.97%) and popped popcorn (24.95 %). Gluten free cake prepared from popped popcorn (PPF) recorded the highest volume (395 cm), weight (201.51 g), height (6.63 cm) and specific volume (2.22 cm/g), while gluten free cake prepared from PPF had the lowest values which were 367.33 cm3, 185.42 g, 4.75 cm and 1.94 cm/g, respectively. The highest Fracturability was recorded in the control (65.25 N) while the lowest value (53.48 N ) was recorded in PPF cookies. Thus, the higher cake expansion and in turn higher specific volume would be an expected product of popping process. The lowest rate of Hardness values was noticed after storage period (5 days) in PPF cake samples. Rate of chewiness, gumminess and resilience also were the lowest values in PPF cake samples. Generally, PPF based cookies (cake prepared from popped popcorn) were more acceptable as it had the highest overall acceptability sensory attributes in both prepared cake and cookies.","PeriodicalId":273673,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Applied Sciences","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121292168","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}

(Calcareous soil). The goal of this study was to improve the poor state of calcareous sand loamy soil, increase its efficiency, and convert the negative impact of certain by-products, such as sugar beet waste (low economic value), on pollution into a positive impact on agricultural soil qualities. The effect and residual effect of different organic amendments (sugar beet waste (S.B.W.), compost (Comp), sugar beet waste 50 percent combined with compost 50 percent application under two different tillage practices of tillage surface (P1) and deep tillage (P2) on some soil hydro-physical and chemical properties, as well as canola and sunflower seeds yields tonfed -1 , were investigated. In the first and second years for surface tillage P1, employing (S.B.W) in combination with compost treatment yielded the greatest values of O.C percent. 83 percent and O.C.F 17.7 percent, respectively. The addition of diverse organic amendments had a substantial influence on each of the hydro-physical and chemical parameters, such as USC and Db, with the lowest values for Db being in the second winter season, highlighted by S.B.W. mixed with compost treatment. Applying the same treatment under deep tillage technique (P2) 2.79, 2.8 USC for two summer seasons, respectively, yielded the lowest USC value. The application of mixed sugar beet with compost treatment resulted in the greatest mean values for Kh (cmh -1 ), I.R (mmh -1 ) and porosity percent, which were 3.92 P2 Kh (cmh -1 ), 6.94 P2 I.R (mmh -1 ) and 50 P2 E percent for both winter seasons. Data indicated that when various organic amendments were applied to big aggregate size fractions >2mm (by percentage), the aggregate sizes dispersion tended to increase. In comparison to the control treatment, 4.05 percent S.B.W, 13.76 percent Comp, and 15.8 percent combination S.B.W with compost treatments were found. For both surface and deep tillage, the greatest values for aggregate state and degree owing to treatment (Comp and S.B.W) were about 72.88 percent aggre. state and 76.6 percent aggre. Degrees also account for 42 percent of aggre. state and 47.95 percent of aggre. degrees, respectively. The greatest mean A.S.I values were achieved using the (Comp and S.B.W) treatments with P1 (0.82) and P2 (0.7), respectively. Which were thought to be excellent A.S.I.
