The results showed that the anthocyanin of M. sylvestris had a great bacteriostasic activity to Staphylococcus aureus but had no bacteriostasic activity to both Escherichia coli and Aspergillus niger. The bacteriostasic activity to Staphylococcus aureus increased with increasing content of anthocyanin of Malva Sylvestris in the solid-culture experiment. The average diameters of bacteriostasic circle for Staphylococcus aureus was 6, 13.5, and 16.0 mm at 10g·L^-1 , 20g· L^-1, and 30g· L^-1 contents of anthocyanin of M. sylvestris, respectively, Moreover, this bacteriostasic activity kept long time as anthocyanin was of the high concentration.展开更多

High tat model was set up with albino rats that were fed with different dosages of anthocyanin from Malva sylvestris 10.03 g·d^-1, 0.04 g·d ^-1 and 0.05 g·d^-1）. The results showed that the total cholesterol was decreased by 19.7% at an anthocyanin of 0.04 g. d and triglyceride was decreased by 34.4% at an anthocyanin of 0.05 g·d^-1. In vitro assay, some indexes of anthocyanin were measured including the capability of scavenging free radical, reducing force and the capability of anti-lipid peroxidation by orthophenanthroline Fe^＋2 oxidation-reduction method. The results indicated that the clearance rate of free radical reached to 43.46% when the content of anthocyanin was 0.20 mg·mL^-1 and the inhibition ratio of lipid peroxidation reached 18.82% when the content was 0.5 mg·mL^-1. Therefore anthocyanin is a kind of natural and effective free radical remover and antioxidant and can prevent from the formation of the thrombus and reduced the emergence of the cardiovascular disease.展开更多

Efficient use of inputs has been one of the key objectives of agricultural policies in all over the world. Therefore, studies continue about production of new seeds with high yield and resist to diseases. The 66.7% of the total seed production in Turkey are met by the private sector （hybrid sunflower, corn, potato, soybean, cotton and vegetable seed）. And 53.4% of the total sunflowers in Turkey are grown in Thrace region. It is therefore appropriate to be selected as the research area. In this regard, the aim of this study was to examine the dynamics in seed sector and particularly investigate the sunflower seed purchasing behavior of farmers with special attention to Thrace region. As a methodology, 198 questionnaires which pursued sunflower farm activities in the region were utilized. As a result of the descriptive statistics, it could be concluded that almost 20% of seed supply in Turkey is imported and that 70%-80% of it is directly used as an “input” for growing vegetative products and the remaining is used as “intermediate goods” for growing “certified seeds” for domestic or international markets.展开更多

The refractive index, viscosity, acid value, peroxide value, pH values, and values of specific gravity of the vegetable oil samples were measured at various different conditions. The results showed that some of the oil samples have unacceptable values in comparison with the standards.展开更多

Samples were heated in the ...The effect of microwave （MW） heating on the dielectric properties and oxidation processes of virgin olive oil and refined sunflower oil were determined by dielectric and UV- spectroscopy. Samples were heated in the microwave oven （850 W, 2.450 MHz） for 0 to 14 minutes. The results show degradation of dielectric characteristics, conductivity and oxidative stability of investigated oils, increasing with the exposure time. UV spectrum shows only one defined peak at 206 nm for olive oil confirming the dominant presence of monounsaturated fats and four peaks for sunflower oil （203 nm, 230 nm, 269 nm and 278 nm） dependent on polyunsaturated acid fats contents. Increasing of absorbance at all peak wave lengths indicates production of lipid oxidation, due to formation of conjugated monoenes and dienes and in small amounts due to trienes and secondary products like ketoaldehydes. Dielectric constant for olive oil is stable and almost unchangeable with MW radiation while sunflower oil＇s c＇ oscillates around the origin value in greater rate. Dielectric loss e＂ decreases with increasing time of MW radiation and its maximum shifts towards higher frequencies for sunflower oil indicating shortening of the relaxation times, while for olive oil it is unchanged. Cole-Cole analysis show the presence of only one relaxation process in the oils. Conductivity of oils is increasing in similar way with increasing frequency following the Jonscher＇s power law and is not changed with MW exposure time. Olive oil has conductivity higher for four orders of magnitude than sunflower oil, which is connected to the high content of monounsaturated fats. The differences between sunflower and olive oil characteristics are discussed.展开更多

This study aims to directly compare safflower with sunflower in terms of phosphorus use efficiency in nutrient solution under controlled conditions. Growth of both species responded strongly to increasing P supply. Safflower recovers less proportion of added P than sunflower. External P requirement （（g P supply （100 g dry matter （DM） produced）~） was higher in safflower than sunflower. The efficiency of the crops for DM production based on accumulated P （mg P potl, efficiency ratio）, and P concentration in DM （（mg P （g DM）＇I）, utilization index） were interpreted using Michaelis-Menten kinetics as growth response curves. Accordingly, Km constant was lower in sunflower compared to safflower in terms of utilization index, but both were similar in terms of efficiency ratio. High Km constant in safflower in terms of utilization index indicates the high P concentration in tissues to produce 50% of potential maximum DM, consequently less efficient crop. Utilization efficiency contributed more than uptake efficiency in overall PUE in the efficient cultivar and could be the cause of its superiority in PUE. It can be concluded that safflower has a high requirement for P with respect to growth, sunflower is more efficient in terms of uptake and utilization of P at optimal and sub-optimal P supplies indicating that safflower can not be considered a low nutrient input crop compared to sunflower with respect to phosphorus.展开更多

文摘Safflower represents an important oil crop internationally and may have a production potential under low input conditions, but its putatively high phosphorous use efficiency is not sustained. This study aims to directly compare safflower with sunflower in terms of phosphorus use efficiency in nutrient solution under controlled conditions. Growth of both species responded strongly to increasing P supply. Safflower recovers less proportion of added P than sunflower. External P requirement （（g P supply （100 g dry matter （DM） produced）~） was higher in safflower than sunflower. The efficiency of the crops for DM production based on accumulated P （mg P potl, efficiency ratio）, and P concentration in DM （（mg P （g DM）＇I）, utilization index） were interpreted using Michaelis-Menten kinetics as growth response curves. Accordingly, Km constant was lower in sunflower compared to safflower in terms of utilization index, but both were similar in terms of efficiency ratio. High Km constant in safflower in terms of utilization index indicates the high P concentration in tissues to produce 50% of potential maximum DM, consequently less efficient crop. Utilization efficiency contributed more than uptake efficiency in overall PUE in the efficient cultivar and could be the cause of its superiority in PUE. It can be concluded that safflower has a high requirement for P with respect to growth, sunflower is more efficient in terms of uptake and utilization of P at optimal and sub-optimal P supplies indicating that safflower can not be considered a low nutrient input crop compared to sunflower with respect to phosphorus.
