“…Among leguminous species, lentil (Lens culinaris Med) is an ancient crop of classical Mediterranean civilization (Karakoy et al, 2012) consumed in appreciable amounts in Middle East countries (Bamdad et al, 2009;Ying et al, 2017). Nowadays, lentil is an important pulse crop which is cultivated worldwide for human food security especially in developing countries (Gupta et al, 2021;Benbrahim et al, 2019;Moldovan et al, 2015). Interest in the production and use of lentil in food formulation and preparation has grown in the last decades due to their high nutritional value and fast cooking times (Barbana & Boye, 2013).…”

Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License Lentil (Lens culinaris Med is an important dietary source of energy, protein, carbohydrates, fibre, minerals and vitamins. The nutritional status of four lentil Algerians cultivars (Metropol, Idleb1, Syrie 229 and Ibla), were accessed. Carbohydrate composition, Crude proteins, Fibre, Dry matter, Fats and Ashes were determined. The culinary qualities and sensory analysis are respectively based on cooking time and tasting tests which carried out with 28 samples of consumers. The highest protein contents were recorded in Metropol (24.38%) followed by Idleb1 (22.87%). Ibla presented the highest fibre content (06.11%) and the lowest value was recorded in Idleb1 (4.01%). The highest carbohydrate contents were shown by Ibla and Metropol with 74.43% and 62.40% respectively. However, Syrie 229 and exhibit the lowest value with 11.91%. Descriptive sensory analysis of prepared samples showed that all extruded treatments were similar to each other. By applying statistical techniques, consumer acceptability testing (4-point hedonic scale) indicated that there were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in acceptability among the selected treatments. This study contributes to the available information concerning nutritional quality of Algerian lentil varieties before and after cooking and their sensory characterization. The current results can be assured of enhanced nutrient potential and sensory quality of lentil.

“…According to Benbrahim et al (2019), the mean value of TPC for Maleh spicy pepper was determined as 73.28 mg GAE/100 g. The maximal value, in this case, was 223.5 mg GAE/100 g, which was less than in our study. As reported by Bertão et al (2016), TPC in ethanol extracts of C. annuum was 341.78 mg GAE/g, of C. baccatum 156.76 mg GAE/g, and of C. chinense 107.98 mg GAE/g.…”

Background. Economically important vegetables are a strong source of antioxidants with different characteristics. Capsicum L. (pepper) is an important agricultural plant because of its economical, medicinal, and nutritional values. Materials and methods. This study aimed to test antioxidant parameters in the fruits of 9 cultivars of Capsicum annuum L. (CA 01-09), 7 cultivars of C. baccatum L. (CB 01-07), and 11 cultivars of C. chinense Jacq. . The antioxidant activity of the investigated Capsicum cultivars was measured, along with the free radical scavenging activity (FRSA), using the DPPH method, and the molybdenum reducing power (MRP) was expressed as mg TE (Trolox equivalent) per g of DW (dry weight). Total polyphenol content (TPC), expressed as mg GAE (gallic acid equivalent) per g of DW, total flavonoid content (TFC), expressed as mg QE (quercetin equivalent) per g of DW, and total phenolic acid content (TPAC), expressed as mg CAE (caffeic acid equivalent) per g of DW, were the basic antioxidant parameters of antioxidant activity in this study. Results. All investigated Capsicum extracts exhibited FRSA from 1.45 (CC-06) to 8.21 (CC-05) mg TE/g and MRP from 24.84 (CA-06) to 198.21 (CB-07) mg TE/g. The TPC of the tested extracts ranged from 10.13 (CB-03) to 38.68 (CB-07) mg GAE/g. The TFC of the studied samples showed values from 5.73 (CB-03) to 27.32 (CB-07) mg QE/g and TPAC from 2.24 (CB-03) to 13.07 (CC-07) mg CAE/g. A very strong correlation was found in the investigated cultivars between TPC and TPAC (r = 0.932, 0.839 and 0.848, respectively), and between TPC and TFC (r = 0.921, 0.982 and 0.939, respectively). Very strong relations were also found between TPC and FRSA (r = 0.820) in the C. annuum cultivars and between TPC and MRP (r = 0.898) in the C. baccatum cultivars. Conclusion.This study found useful results concerning the antioxidant potential of the fruits of Capsicum cultivars. The data obtained demonstrate the strong antioxidant activity of cultivars of Capsicum, which can be used in the food industry because of the commercial importance of these fruits.

“…It is crucial to any crop improvement to choose desirable parent material, but it is a quite challenging task for crop breeders. The genetic divergence of any crop is regarded as a key component in achieving heterotic response in the F1 generation, and a large range of diversity exists in segregating generations (Arunanchalam, 1981;Benbrahim et al, 2019). The estimation of genetic diversity is critical for identifying genetically different genotypes (Mukhopadhyay and Bhattacharjee, 2016).…”

Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) is an important underutilized fruit crop. There is currently limited information available on the genetic background of longans, which is a key bottleneck in longan improvement. Studies on the extent of genetic variability and genetic divergence are crucial and it can provide relevant information which can be very useful for crop improvement programmes. In the present study, a total of 54 qualitative and quantitative traits were investigated of 20 different longan genotypes to determine the morphological and physiochemical traits that. Results revealed that the signi cant variability is existed in the studied traits except few. Among the qualitative traits petiole colour, lea et curvature, young leaf colour, mature leaf colour, branching density, lea et midrib colour, abundance of ower, trunk surface, fruit maturity group, and tree vigour were showed more than the average value of Shannon's diversity index. Higher PCV and GCV were recorded for several traits viz., tree volume followed by aril weight, number of fruits per branch, aril/seed weight ratio, trunk girth, TSS acid ratio, aril thickness, number of days from panicle initiation to owering, titratable acidity, width of in orescence, length of in orescence, petiole length, fruit weight, plant height, crown diameter and rachis length. High heritability estimates coupled with high genetic advance as % of mean were recorded for the traits viz., plant height, trunk girth, crown diameter, tree volume, rachis and petiole length, number of days from panicle initiation to owering, length and width of in orescence, number of fruits per bunch, fruit, aril and seed weight, aril thickness, fruit colour-a, titratable acidity and TSS acid ratio which is indicative of additive gene action and selection based on these traits would be more reliable. According to the Mahalanobis D 2 statistic, twenty diverse genotypes were grouped into eight groups. The presence of genetic divergence was also tested in cluster means by the signi cant amount of variability for various variables. Therefore, this study's ndings imply that these genotypes have variability in terms of fruit quality traits, yield and traits that contribute to yield, and other agronomic traits that could be useful in future crop improvement initiatives.
