Carbon melon

The Langmuir equation has been used to describe adsorption of p carotene from solution onto activated bleaching clays (8) and free fatty acid from isooctane solution by acid-washed rice hull ash (9). Likewise, isotherm analysis of the commercial bleaching of rubber and melon seed oil by Fullers earth, activated carbon, and Fullers earth/activated carbon mixture (10) followed Langmuir behavior at 55°C and 80°C, suggesting the possibility of monolayer adsorption with little competition. This behavior was not observed at 30°C where the isotherm no longer applies, because of desorption. The amount of adsorbent was kept constant while varying... 

Although for many years lipoxygenase activity in fish was discounted (14-17), plant lipoxygenases were easily demonstrated, and became well-accepted. Research into the biosynthesis of the six-, eight-, and nine-carbon volatile aroma compounds of mushrooms (27, 56) and cucumber/melon-fruits (37, 57-58) showed the concerted activities of both site-specific lipoxygenases and hydroperoxide lyases. Because animal lipoxygenases exhibit self-inactivation properties (59-60), early experimentation failed to detect an active lipoxygenase from fish, and this led to conclusions that autoxidation was responsible for the... 

Figure 5 shows the influence of harvest time and storage on total volatiles production. Since the production of many but not all of the aroma volatiles is linked to amino acid precursors it may be expected that the total volatiles behavior may reflect that of the amino acids especially those which supply many of the carbon skeletons for the esters found in melons. The pattern of behavior for the total volatiles is generally in accord with that of these amino acids and does very clearly illustrate the profound influence of harvest time on the generation of the aroma profile. Fruit harvested only two days before folly ripe develops only about one quarter of the total volatiles concentration shown a few days postharvest, by a folly ripe sample. This rather dramatic difference may reflect the inability of prematurely harvested fiuit to accumulate sufficient concentrations of required volatiles substrates because certain metabolic responses have not been activated.

Haloarcula, have been reported to have the ability to synthesise PHA from inexpensive carbon sources and PHA from these strains could be extracted easily compared with that of bacteria. Strain IKYSl, which exhibited the highest similarity with Natrinema pallidum JCM 8980 (99%), was isolated from a Tuzkoy salt mine, Tuz lake and its saltern of Kayacik, using cheap substrates such as corn starch, sucrose, whey, apple, melon and tomato wastes [39].

Because of their structural diversity, the C-9 compounds occupy first place among the aliphatic alcohols and carbonyl compounds. Cucumber 164, 296, 619) and various melon fruits 293, 294, 297, 298) seem to be particularly rich in derivatives having this number of carbon atoms. In addition to nonanal and the corresponding alcohol, their unsaturated analogs (16) to (25) were also found in these Cucurbitaceae fruits. ( ,Z)-2,6-Nonadienal (23) and ( )-2-nonenal (17) constitute the organoleptic principle for cucumber flavor Cucumis sativus L.) (164, 296). Although it is present in a concentration of only 0.9 ppb (about 45 times its threshold value) (295), (Z)-6-nonenal (21) is the essential... 

Green-note compounds are responsible of the fresh, green odor of cut leaves and are important components of the flavor of fruits and vegetables, such as apples, cherries, kiwifruits, raspberries, strawberries, and tomatoes. They include six-carbon aldehydes and alcohols, such as (2 )-hexenal (leaf aldehyde) and (3Z)-hexenol (leaf alcohol). Nine-carbon aldehydes and alcohols, which are found in the aroma of cucumbers and melons, are also considered green-note compounds.
