Biological efficiency and nutritional value of Pleurotus ostreatus cultivated in agroindustrial wastes of palm oil fruits and cocoa almonds

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
The cocoa and palm oil agro-industries active in the state of Bahia, Brazil, generate high quantities of lignocellulosic wastes that could be recycled through their use in the formulation of substrates to cultivate edible mushrooms. Pleurotus ostreatus, also known as oyster mushroom, is the second most c...

Microbiological and physico-chemical quality of brazil nuts

Hig. aliment; 31 (264/265), 2017
Devido a poucos relatos da qualidade das castanhas-do-brasil oriundas do estado de Mato Grosso avaliaram-se as condições microbiológicas e nutricionais de amêndoas coletadas e beneficiadas, com e sem casca, por produtores de Itaúba/MT. Foram adquiridas 18 amostras em 3 locais distintos (6 amostras p...

The effect of three plant bioregulators on pollen germination, pollen tube growth and fruit set in almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] cvs. Non Pareil and Carmel

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (5), 2015
Background In commercial almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb] orchards in Chile, the percentage of fruit set is low and commonly reaches 5–30%. As almond trees bloom during a cool period and also suffer from self-incompatibility, any factor that can improve pollination, pollen germination and pollen...

Genetic diversity in two Italian almond collections

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (1), 2015
Background Sweet-seeded domesticated almonds were brought to the Mediterranean Basin from central Asia about 4000 years ago. In Italy, most of the almonds produced are cultivated in the southern part of the country. Local populations of the tree in Sardinia are largely seed-derived and mostly self-incomp...
