A Research On The Effects Of Fermentation Type And Additives On Quality And Preservation And Development Of Adequate Technique In Brined Vine-Leaves Production, Fikri Başoğlu, İsmet Şahi̇n, Mihriban Korukluoğlu, Vildan Uylaser, Arzu Akpinar

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Various processes were applied to vine-leaves (used in stuffed vine-leaves) to maintain their colour, taste and aroma. Lactic acid, citric acid or salicilic acid of 0.25 % each were added into brine for fermentation of Sultani, Alphons and Erenköy beyazi vine-leaves. Fermentations were carried out in two ways. First one was spontaneous fermentation but in the second one Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus were added in a rate of 3 % as starters. Colour, salt (%), pH, acidity (%), reduced sugar (%) analyses were carried out in fresh vine-leaves. Changes in the amount of salt (%), acidity (%), …

Changes In Water Content And Other Soil Properties In Different Previous Crops-Wheat Rotation Systems Under Ankara Conditions, Didar Eser, M. Sait Adak, Günal Akbay, Andreas Biesantz, Atilla Atalay, Paul Limberg

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

According to the results obtained from two years rotation experiment, which was carried out under Ankara-Haymana dryfarming conditions during 1991-1993, conclusions can be summarized as follows: Soil water contents measured during vegetation period as well as at harvest time of six previous crops were significantly different in the first year of the rotation. At harvest time of previous crops and planting time of wheat, higher soil water content found in fallow plots in comparison to winter sown legumes (lentil, vetch, pea and Hungarian vetch). Oil radish and mustard as other previous crops, led to the lowest soil water content. In …

Aspen Bibliography

An ecological process model of vegetation dynamics mechanistically simulates long-term stand dynamics on coniferous landscapes of the Northern Rocky Mountains. This model is used to investigate and evaluate cumulative effects of various fire regimes, including prescribed burning and fire exclusion, on the vegetation and fuel complex of a simulation landscape composed of many stands. Detailed documentation of the model FIRE-BGC (a FIRE BioGeoChemical succession model) with complete discussion of all model parameters is followed with results of an application of the FIRE-BGC to a whitebark pine landscape in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. Simulation results of several management scenarios are …


Waste-Wood-Derived Fillers For Plastics, Brent English, Craig M. Clemons, Nicole Stark, James P. Schneider Jan 1996

Waste-Wood-Derived Fillers For Plastics, Brent English, Craig M. Clemons, Nicole Stark, James P. Schneider

Aspen Bibliography

Filled thermoplastic composites are stiffer, stronger, and more dimensionally stable than their unfilled counterparts. Such thermoplastics are usually provided to the end-user as a precompounded, pelletized feedstock. Typical reinforcing fillers are inorganic materials like talc or fiberglass, but materials derived from waste wood, such as wood flour and recycled paper fiber, are also effective as fillers. The goal of this project was to generate commercial interest in using waste-wood–paper-derived fillers (WPFs) to reinforce thermoplastics. The research strategy was twofold: developmental research and outreach. Specific objectives were (1) to improve wastepaper fiber preparation, feeding, and compounding methods, and optimize composite performance, …
