The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of seasonality on the chemical composition and concentration of phenolic compounds in some ligneous species. The research was conducted at the Aristotle University's farm, Thessaloniki, Greece. From five ligneous species (Robinia...

The study aimed to establish a comprehensive evaluation system for the fruit quality of 5 fig cultivars and to provide evidence for the selection of fine cultivars. Totally 5 fig cultivars introduced into and grown in Xinjiang from Shandong, 'Blanrick', 'Fengchanhuang', 'Violette Solise', 'Meiliya' ...

Objective: To study the effects of water content on growth of Aspergillus flavus and accumulation of aflatoxin B₁ in corn flour during storage. Methods: The corn flour with initial moisture content of 10.42%, 13.26%, 16.35% and 19.88% was stored at 28°C and 75% relative humidity for 30 d. The water ...

Pear fruits are rich in nutrients and high in moisture content. It is susceptible to be infected by pathogenic bacteria during production, harvesting, storage and transportation, especially after fungal diseases occur during storage, causing and accumulating various mycotoxins. This paper first...

Objective: In this study, Zizyphus jujuba 'Huizao' and its three excellent strains (grey experiment 2, 7, 8) selected by Xinjiang academy of forestry were used as tested materials. The effects of low temperature stress on the physiological cold resistance indices of the branches of Zizyphus jujuba...

Objective: The differences of chloroplast DNA among artificial interspecific hybrid walnut, Juglans sigillata × J. regia cv. 'Yunxingaoyuan' and its parents (its female parent is Juglans sigillata cv. 'Yangpao' and its paternal parent is J. regia, cv. 'Yunlin A7') were studied in this paper, to...

This study investigated the effect of microwave treatment on wood pH and termite resistance. Pinus roxburghii heartwood was exposed to four different microwave intensities at 2450 MHz frequency for 5 minutes. Preservative impregnation, pH variation and termite resistance of microwave-treated and...

In this study, the change in the chemical properties of the thermally modified eucalyptus (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) wood boards were examined by wet chemical analysis and FTIR spectroscopy. The eucalyptus wood boards were modified with a laboratory type hot-press for four different groups at press ...

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of density and melamine rate on thickness swelling, moisture resistance, modulus of elasticity in bending, bending strength and tensile strength of Oriented Strand Board. For this purpose, Oriented Strand Board panels were produced at three...

The objective of this study is to determine optimum parameters for double dowels in medium density fiberboard components, and the maximum value of the strength of joints loaded in tension and compression bending. This study analyzes dowel diameter, clearance or interference fit value, and dowel...
