Randomized complete block design in split plot arrangement was used in three replications, where irrigation intervals were randomly assigned to main plots and (NSP) concentrations were randomly distributed in sub-plots. Obtained results demonstrated that increasing interval between irrigations up to 24 days significantly decreased all the studied traits, except shelling percent and harvest index. Conversely, all the studied characters increased with increasing (NSP) concentrations, where (NSP) applications with 6 or 9 mg/ l produced the highest LAI (4.45 and 4.42) tallest plants (218.33 and 221.90 cm), highest shelling percent (80.73 and 81.83 %), high harvest index (41.57 and 43.32 %) and grain nitrogen content (1.52 and 1.60 %), respectively. However, spraying maize plants with 9 mg/ l (NSP) in resulted the heaviest ears (409.63 g), heaviest grain weight/ ear (335.25 g), 100-kernel weight (37.94 g), maximum grain and biological yields (9.09 and 20.98 t/ ha), respectively. On the other hand, irrigation intervals (NSP) concentrations interaction had significant effects on all studied traits, where spraying maize plants with 6 or 9 mg/ l, generally alleviate the bad effects of increasing irrigation intervals up to 24 days.","PeriodicalId":7560,"journal":{"name":"Alexandria Science Exchange Journal","volume":"102 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139134942","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}

The most important results were found to be a decrease in the amount of local oil production by 30.7 thousand tons at an annual rate of 6% of the average total amount of local production of oils by 670 thousand tons. The cultivation of soybeans was also concentrated in the Minya Governorate by 74.6% of the total cultivated area in Egypt. Then Beni Suef Governorate came in second place in terms of soybean crop cultivation with a rate of 10.4%, then Assiut Governorate came in third place with 5% of the total area of the governorates planted with soybeans, and sunflower crop cultivation was concentrated in Nubaria Governorate with a rate of 26.5% of the total cultivated area.

So, this study aimed to use okra pod waste with substitution ratios of 5, 10 and 15 % of wheat flour in pan bread manufacture. The physicochemical, rheological and sensory properties of ready-made pan bread were studied. Also, the impact of feeding diabetic rats pan bread containing okra pod waste on some biological parameters and histological variations of pancreas, kidney and liver was evaluated. The obtained results revealed that okra pod waste powder showed a higher content of protein, fat, ash and crude fiber than wheat flour. Antioxidant activity of okra pod waste was 88.74%. In comparison to the control sample made from only wheat flour, the farinograph and extensigraph results of wheat flour combined with okra pod waste indicated a decrease in dough development, degree of softening, elasticity, and extensibility, but an increase in water absorption and stability time. Pan bread containing 15% okra waste had the highest loaves weight (873.33 g), and the lowest specific volume (1.81 cm 3 /g) compared with control bread (810.67 g and 2.28 cm 3 /g, respectively). When the ratio of okra waste powder in pan bread was increased, there was a substantial rise in the content of moisture, fat, protein, fiber, ash and Antioxidant activity. No significant differences were found in all sensory evaluation scores between pan bread containing 5% okra pod waste and the control. Whereas, pan bread containing 15% okra pod waste obtained the lowest scores but it was satisfactory. Feeding diabetic rats on pan bread containing 5, 10 and 15% of okra pod waste led to a significant reduction in glucose, HbA1c rates and increased insulin levels in blood samples. Also, it caused a significant amelioration in the lipid profile, kidney and liver functions, also pancreas, kidney and liver tissue sections of diabetic rats. In conclusion, pan bread containing okra pod waste can improve the glucose level and protection against diabetes diseases and their complications. Future studies are needed to find a new sources of bioactive compounds from food factory waste and use them in the processing of functional food products.","PeriodicalId":7560,"journal":{"name":"Alexandria Science Exchange Journal","volume":"125 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139134755","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}
