        To investigate the effect of polyamines and some organic acids&rsquo; application on postharvest life of button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), an experiment was conducted in 2016. The treatments included putrescine (1, 2, and 3 mM), spermine and spermidine (0.75, 1, and 1.5 mM), ascorbic acid (10, 20, and 30 mM), citric acid (2, 3, and 4 mM), cinnamic acid (50, 100, and 150 mM) and the control. Treatments were used in two stages, before and after harvest, in two separate experiments based on a completely randomized design with three replications. At the end of the experiment, the nutritional value including, K, Ca, Fe, Vitamin C, TSS, and Protein in button mushroom were measured. The results indicated that in post-harvest stages, the maximum level of protein and Vitamin C were obtained in response to use of spermidine 1.5 mM. The maximum value of protein was observed at 3 mM putrescine and 30 mM Vitamin C at post-harvest stages. The maximum level of TSS was shown in spermidine 1 mM in both pre- and post-harvest. The application of treatments affect on micro and macro elements significantly. It can be said that application of treatments in the post-harvest stage has more influence on the nutritional value and durability of button mushroom. پرونده مقاله

        198 Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from Iranian milk samples. Almost all isolatedLAB showed inhibitory activity towards E. coli and S. aureus as Gram negative and Grampositive indicators, respectively. No role was observed for hydrogen peroxide in the activity ofall isolated strains while organic acids proved a prominent role in all detected inhibitoryactivities. Within isolated LAB, four strains represented the inhibitory activity against S. aureusbased on the production of bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS). Inactivation of theactivity by proteolytic enzymes demonstrated the proteinaceous nature of the antimicrobialcompounds. The selected producers were identified as L. lactis, E. faecium 1, E. hirae and E.faecium 2 based on biochemical tests according to Bergy's manual of systematic bacteriology.L. lactis had the highest Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (320 IU/ml) and showedbacteriostatic mode of activity towards the indicator bacteria. پرونده مقاله

        The effect of sodium butyrate, rosemary meal and oxytetracycline supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics, visceral organs sizes and nutrient digestibility of broilers was investigated. A total of 320 one-day-old male &ldquo;Arbor acres strain&rdquo; broiler chicks were allotted to 10 dietary treatments with 4 replicates of 8 birds each. The treatments include: T1: basal diet (BD; negative control), T2: BD + 1 g/kg diet of oxytetracycline (positive control), T3: BD + 2 g sodium butyrate (SB)/kg diet, T4: BD + 4 g SB/kg diet, T5: BD + 2.5 g rosemary meal (RM)/kg diet, T6: BD + 5.0 g RM/kg diet, T7: BD + 2 g SB + 2.5 g RM/kg diet, T8: BD + 2 g SB + 5.0 g RM/kg diet, T9: BD + 4 g SB + 2.5 g RM/kg diet and T10: BD + 4 g SB + 5.0 g RM/kg diet. Birds fed T3, T4, and T5 had the highest (p &lt;0.05) body weight with an improved feed conversion ratio. The dressed weight, breast weight and drumstick/thigh weight were better (p &lt;0.05) for birds fed T3, T4 and T5. The weights of gizzard, liver and lungs were higher for birds fed T3, while, the length of small and large intestine were lower for birds fed T3, T4, and T5. The digestibility of the crude fiber, crude protein, crude fat and dry matter were higher (p &lt;0.05) for birds fed T3, T4, and T5. It was concluded that, T3, T4, and T5 can be safely included for an improved performance; cut yields and nutrient digestibility. They also accelerated the development of health promoting (heart, kidney, and liver) and immune related (spleen) organs. پرونده مقاله

        Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of pre-harvest application of some amino acids and organic acids on enzymatic traits and longevity of carnation flowers (D چکیده کامل
        Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of pre-harvest application of some amino acids and organic acids on enzymatic traits and longevity of carnation flowers (Dianthus caryophyllus cv. Tessino) based on completely randomized design with 13 treatments and three replications. The treatments included ascorbic acid (AS), citric acid (CA), malic acid (MA), arginine (Arg), phenylalanine (Phe) and glutamine (Gln), each at two levels of 50 and 100 mg/l. The unsprayed pots constituted the control. The foliar application was carried out three times at 10-day intervals and it was so scheduled that the last stage of spraying was in the green pea stage. Sampling and evaluation of plant traits such as fresh and dry weight, petals anthocyanin, total leaf chlorophyll, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), peroxidase (POD), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and flower longevity were measured on plants at the stage that at least two florets have been opened in the cluster. The results showed that 100 mg/l malic acid had the greatest effect on the improvement in fresh and dry weight, petals anthocyanin, and total leaf chlorophyll. Citric acid, ascorbic acid, and phenylalanine, all at the rate of 100 mg/l, had the greatest effect on improving the activity of catalase, superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase enzymes. Also, 100 mg/l glutamine could improve the longevity of flowers on the plants. Therefore, according to the results of this study, it can be concluded that pre-harvest foliar application of amino acids and organic acids improved enzymatic traits and the longevity of flowers on the plants in carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus) cv. Tessino. پرونده مقاله

        Farnaz Sheikh Seyed Hossein Neamati Navid Vahdati Ali Dolatkhahi
        The postharvest life of cut Eustoma grandiflorum flowers is limited in open flowers. Therefore a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with ascorbic acid (AsA) at 4 levels (0, 100, 200, 300mg L-1) and citric acid (CA) at 3 levels (0, 100, 200 mg L چکیده کامل
        The postharvest life of cut Eustoma grandiflorum flowers is limited in open flowers. Therefore a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with ascorbic acid (AsA) at 4 levels (0, 100, 200, 300mg L-1) and citric acid (CA) at 3 levels (0, 100, 200 mg L-1) with 3 replications and 3 samples for each replications, was conducted for this purpose. Results indicated that a significant increase with applying ascorbic and citric acid nearly in all traits both individually and in combination, with higher concentrations imposing greater effects (p&le;0.05 and p&le;0.01). The highest vase life (17.6 days) and petal water content (68.9%) was observed for the interaction of ascorbic acid (300 mg L-1) and citric acid(100 mg L-1) and ascorbic acid (300 mg L-1) and citric acid (200 mg L-1), re-spectively, which shows a 94 and 252% increase compared to control (9.1days and 27.3%). Along with this, relative water content and petal water content raised with AsA and CA increase. Water content also showed a similar manner. Fresh weight decreased in all treatments during experiment, but this reduction was much less in AsA (300 mg L-1) alone and in interactions with CA levels. According to the results of this experiment, ascorbic acid and/or citric acid as cheap, safe and biodegradable compounds are suitable alternatives for chemical treatments in order to prolong vase life of cut flowers of Eustoma. Commercialization of these compounds for optimum formulations needs further experiments. پرونده مقاله

        Cut gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) flowers are sensitive to microbial contamination and have short vase life. The effect of salicylic acid, citric acid and ascorbic acid (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1) was evaluated on vase life of gerbera flowers. Changes in vase life, water abs چکیده کامل
        Cut gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) flowers are sensitive to microbial contamination and have short vase life. The effect of salicylic acid, citric acid and ascorbic acid (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1) was evaluated on vase life of gerbera flowers. Changes in vase life, water absorption, and bacterial population in stem and vase solution, also biochemical characteristics such as protein concentration, lipid peroxidation level and enzymes activity such as superoxide dismutase and peroxidase were measured and compared with the control. Results showed that the maximum vase life (11.31 and 11.21 days) was achieved in 100 mg l-1 of both citric acid and salicylic acid, respectively. The vase life of control cut flowers was 5.80 days. Most solution uptake (0.907 ml g-1 F.W) was obtained in 100 mg l-1 of citric acid, too. The least bacterial colonies in stem end (151.00) and vase solution (66.33) was obtained in 100 mg l-1 citric acid. Differences between the content of bacterial colonies in vase solution containing 200 mg l-1 citric acid and 100 and 200 mg l-1 salicylic acid was not significant with 100 mg l-1 citric acid. The lowest content (46.04 and 46.21 nmol g-1 F.W.) of lipid peroxidation or MDA content was obtained from cut flowers treated with 200 mg l-1 of citric acid and 100 mg l-1 salicylic acid, respectively. Maximum activity of the peroxidase (0.063 mmol g-1 F.W.) and superoxide dismutase (40.80 nmol g-1 F.W.) enzymes was observed in 200 mg l-1 of citric acid. پرونده مقاله
