Antioxidant activity of dietary oregano essential oil and alpha-tocopheryl acetate supplementation in long-term frozen stored turkey meat
(2003)The effects of dietary oregano essential oil and alpha-tocopheryl acetate supplementation on the oxidative stability of long-term frozen stored turkey meat were investigated. Thirty 12-week-old turkeys, randomly divided ... -
Antioxidant and chemopreventive properties of polyphenolic compounds derived from Greek legume plant extracts
(2008)Recently, phytochemical compounds present in legumes have gained a lot of interest because they are considered to be possible chemopreventive agents. In the present study, 14 polyphenolic compounds were extracted and ... -
Botanical Nematicides: A Review
(2012)Despite the uselfuness of nematicidal compounds in agricultural practices, some serious concerns are raised today about their excessive use leading to enhancement of biodegradation mechanisms in soil expressed as lack of ... -
Building an Attractive Investment Image: An Entrepreneurial Perspective for The City of Larissa, in Thessaly Region, Greece
(2009)The new economic and social structural changes, both at an international and European level, have influenced the cities' profile by creating high-level competitiveness and attractiveness within various cities. This fact ... -
Calibration and validation of a biological model to simulate the development and production of tomatoes in Mediterranean greenhouses during winter period
(2009)The aim of this work is to calibrate and validate the adaptation of TOMGRO (TOMato GRowth), a crop growth simulation model for tomato, to the short-term cropping technique and to conditions in Greece. Current practice in ... -
Comparing conventional and organic olive groves in central Greece: plant and bird diversity and abundance
(2011)The present study was conducted in Magnesia Prefecture, central Greece, during the period May-June 2007. It aimed at the comparison between conventional and certified organic olive groves with regard to olive and olive oil ... -
Computational fluid dynamics applications to improve crop production systems
(2013)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical analysis and simulation tools of fluid flow processes have emerged from the development stage and become nowadays a robust design tool. It is widely used to study various ... -
Convective and ventilation transfers in greenhouses, Part 1: the greenhouse considered as a perfectly stirred tank
(2002)In this paper, the characterization and modelling of the most relevant convective transfers contributing to the elaboration of the greenhouse climate are reviewed. Convective transfers include heat and mass transfers between ... -
Convective and ventilation transfers in greenhouses, part 2: Determination of the distributed greenhouse climate
(2002)In this paper, the characterisation and modelling of the most relevant convective transfers contributing to the description of the distributed greenhouse climate are studied in detail. After a brief review of the equations ... -
Cytogenetic effects of grape extracts (Vitis vinifera) and polyphenols on mitomycin C-induced sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in human blood lymphocytes
(2007)In the present study, the effects of extracts and polyphenol-rich fractions as well as monomer polyphenols identified in them, from both red and white grapes, on mitomycin C (MMC) induced sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) ... -
Degradation and Adsorption of Pesticides in Compost-Based Biomixtures as Potential Substrates for Biobeds in Southern Europe
(2010)Biobeds have been used in northern Europe for minimizing point source contamination of water resources by pesticides. However, little is known regarding their use in southern Europe where edaphoclimatic conditions and ... -
Delineation of management zones in an apple orchard in Greece using a multivariate approach
(2013)Management zone (MZ) delineation is important for the application of Precision Agriculture because farm management decisions are based on it. Several factors were used for the MZ delineation including crop and soil ... -
Dissipation of teflubenzuron and triflumuron residues in field-sprayed and cold-stored pears
(1999)Dissipation of residues of benzoylurea insecticides teflubenzuron (TFB) and triflumuron (TFM) under field conditions was evaluated on a pear orchard in Greece. Residues were determined by UV-HPLC analysis, with a detection ... -
Effect of harvest time and storage conditions on almond kernel oil and sugar composition
(2003)The effect of storage for 6 months at 5degreesC (80% RH) versus 20degreesC (60% RH) of shelled versus in-shell almonds was studied on early versus late harvested nuts from 'Ferragnes' and 'Texas' trees. Kernel quality ... -
Effect of olive leaf (Olea europea L.) extracts on protein and lipid oxidation in cooked pork meat patties enriched with n-3 fatty acids
(2014)BACKGROUNDThe effect of olive leaf extracts on lipid and protein oxidation of cooked pork patties refrigerated stored for 9 days was evaluated. Patties were prepared from longissimus dorsi muscle of pigs, and dietary ... -
Effect of olive mill wastewater on growth and bulb production of tulip plants infected by bulb diseases
(2014)The effect of olive mill wastewater (OMW) on growth of tulip plants infected by common diseases as well as on their new bulbs production is analyzed in this work. Filtered and sterilized OMW was tested as growth inhibitor ... -
