Dynamics of chemical attributes of soil in different land use systems in the municipality of Santa Barbara do Para, Brazil

Concern about the quality of the soil and quantification of changes in its attributes is of great importance for the monitoring of soil productivity in order to improve the management of the sustainability of agricultural systems. Soil quality is the capacity in this act positively in the regulation of energy flow in a particular ecosystem, whether natural or agricultural. Thus, the study aimed to assess the dynamics of soil chemical properties in four different land use systems in two sampling periods, dry and rainy in the municipality of Santa Bárbara do Pará, Brazil.

Nutritional evaluation of uncommonly consumed green leafy vegetables and developed products

A study was conducted on nutritional composition of uncommon green leafy vegetables. Seven commonly grown but uncommonly consumed green leafy vegetables were selected. Fresh and dehydrated form of green leafy vegetables and developed products were also analyzed for proximate composition, minerals and vitamin content. On the basis of high mineral content of cauliflower greens, five products each were developed utilizing fresh and dehydrated cauliflower greens leaves.

Effect of gamma radiation cobalt-60 on caffeine

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of the incidence of gamma radiation of Cobalt-60 on caffeine. Material and Methods: The samples were studied in aqueous solution and powdered form after irradiation at doses: 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 kGy by ionizing radiation source of 60Co. Afterwards, they were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG), and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
