The present investigation was carried out in an attempt to clearly the chemical and nutritional assessment of Burghul grains as a functional food. The study included the determination of proximate chemical composition, starch, minerals, dietary fibers, vitamins composition, and the amino acid pattern. Meanwhile, computation of the chemical scores of its protein (CS). The results showed that the components of Burghulgrains had 9.51 % of crude protein, 5.31% of crude extract ether, 1.27% of total ash and 1.21 of crude fibers and 82.79% of digested carbohydrates. Also, starch content of Burghul grains was 80.02%. The dietary fibers content was: 36 .78% for NDF and 2.21% for ADF, (On dry weight of dry basis). Mineral composition of Burghul grains showed that the calcium content was the highest among the studied minerals being (1186.38 mg/kg) followed by magnesium (752.45 (mg/kg.) (On dry weight of dry basis). Morefore, it was found that Burghul grains were high in folic acid content 14.38 mg/100gm) and niacin ( 7.40 (mg/100gm), while, it was low in pyridoxine ( 0. 14 (mg/100gm). The protein of Burghul grains contain 18 amino acids including all the essential amino acids. For the nonessential amino acids glutamic acid and proline were found in highest amount among all the amino acids pattern being (32.90 g/100g protein ) and (12.10 g/100g protein ). As for the essential amino acids, leucine and valin were the high amounts, 5.90 g/100g protein, 4.10 g/100g protein, respectively, comparing with FAO /WHO pattern (2007). Lysine was found to be the first limiting amino acid (0.56) which is typical for cereals.

Encapsulated lambda – cyhalothrin nanoparticles loaded in polyethylene glycol were prepared by melt dispersion method in concentration 4% and 8% of their tested conventional lambda.Larvicidal activity of encapsulated lambda nanoparticles was investigated in comparison with its conventional form against susceptible larvae of Culex pipeins after 24, 48 and 72 hrs. exposure periods. The conventional lambda showed LC50 values equal 7 ×10-8, 1.8 ×10-8and 1 ×10-9M, during the exposure time, respectively. The reduced tested concentrations of nanoparticles (4% and 8%) were highly toxic against mosquito larvae with LC50 values equal 4.6×10-8, 2.9 ×10-9and 7.8 ×10-10M (for 4%) and 1.8 ×10-8,5.3×10-9 and 1.2×10-9M (for 8%) after 24, 48 and 72 hrs. of exposure periods, respectively. The toxic effects of the low concentrations from lambda nanoparticles against Culex pipens may be due to the diffusion released of cyhalothrin with amounts equal 1.84 ×10-9, 1.16×10-10 and 3.12×10-11 (in case of 4%) and 1.44×10-9, 4.24×10-10 and 9.6×10-11 M (for 8%) after 24,48 and 72 hrs., respectively. These results proposed that the encapsulated lambda-cyhalothrin nanoparticles can serve as an effective larvicide against Culex pipeins larvae at lawer concentrations avoiding the different problems of conventional form.

The present work was carried out to evaluate the chemical and technological characteristic of Egyptian Giza 177 rice and black rice (BR) as well as to investigate the possibility of using black rice flour as substitution materials of wheat flour in preparing enriched biscuits. The obtained results revealed that black rice (BR) variety had a higher level of crude protein, ether extract, ash, fiber content than Giza 177 rice variety. Gel consistency was significantly higher in Giza 177 than (BR). BR contained higher amylose content than Giza 177. From the obtained results, BR could be considered as a good source of fatty acids, anthocyanin, total phenol and minerals compared with Giza 177. Regards to sensory evaluation of cooked rice, black rice was lower acceptance than Giza 177. Results of the organoleptic evaluation indicated that biscuit samples prepared using black rice flour (2.5 and 5%) to wheat flour were acceptable. Also, biscuit samples prepared using mushroom flour with black rice flour as substitutions instead of wheat flour (2.5%) were acceptable. The present study could be a guide in using black rice and mushroom flours to increase protein and other nutrients contents in some food products, as well as preparation of some functional foods. Also, gluten-free bakery products are advantageous to persons who suffer from celiac disease.

A field experiment was conducted in sandy soil at Wadi El-Natrun region, Egypt (30°23'19.89˝ N latitude and 30°21'41.06˝ E longitude) during 2018 and 2019 seasons to evaluate growth, quality, productivity and water use efficiently of four sweet sorghum varieties (Sorghum Bicolor L. Moench) under the influence of two types of irrigation sources (fish farm waste water and well ground water irrigation) in addition to study the effect of spraying three concentration of gibberellic acid (zero, 20 and 40 ppm). The results revealed that fish farm waste water irrigation was significantly more efficient than well ground water irrigation on vegetative characters (stalk length and diameters (cm)), yield (gross and stripped stalk yields (ton/fed)) and water use efficiency (WUE of gross and stripped yields (kg/m3)) in both seasons. Vice versa, the irrigation by well ground water surpassed the irrigation by waste water fish farm in quality parameters (juice and syrup extraction %) and (sucrose and purity %), in addition significant increases were detected in vegetative characters, yield and water use efficiency by increasing gibberellic acid (GA3) concentrations from zero up to 40 ppm during both seasons. On the other hand, quality parameters of sweet sorghum plants decreased by increasing gibberellic acid (GA3) concentrations from zero up to 40 ppm in both seasons. Sweet sorghum AGSC3 variety over passed the other varieties with respect to stalk length and diameters (cm), yields of gross and stripped stalks yield (ton/fed) and water use efficiency (WUE) of gross and stripped stalks yield (kg/m3) in both seasons. While, results showed that Ramada variety surpassed significantly the other studied varieties under this study in respect to juice and syrup extraction (%) as well as sucrose and purity (%) in both seasons.

The present investigation was laid out during the growing winter seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 at private farm in Sharnop, Damnhour City, Behera Governorate ,to study the effect of clove size and plant growth regulators: 6-Benzylaminopurine (BAP), Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on growth and yield of Balady garlic cultivar (Allium sativum L cv). Experimental design was split plot in a randomized complete blocks design with three replicates. The main plot was clove size, and the sub main plot was growth regulators. The obtained results indicated that vegetative growth characters, bulb yield, its components and bulb characteristics, significantly, affected in case of size of planted bulbs in the both seasons. Obtained results showed that large size (l) gave the highest means values for all studied traits, in both seasons, followed by medium size (m) and small size (s). Moreover, It could be concluded that the vegetative growth characters, bulb yield, its components and bulb characteristics significantly affected with the mix treatment (BAP + NAA) which gave the highest mean values for all studied traits over size of planted bulbs in both seasons, followed by BAP and NAA respectively, in both seasons.

This study included two factors: 1) three irrigation water treatments i) Brackish-water (BW), ii) Magnetic-BW1; brackish water after magnetization through passing a three inch static-magnetic unit produced by Delta Water Company and iii) Magnetic-BW2; brackish water after magnetization through passing a three inch static magnetic unit produced by Magnetic-Technologies Company) and three wheat varieties (Sakha-94, Maser-2 and Gemiza-11). The three irrigation water treatments and the three tested varieties were laid out in split-plot design with three replicates and allocated in the main and sub-plots, respectively under gated pipe irrigations system. The experiments designed at Agricultural Experimental Station of Desert Research Centre, Ras Sidr province, South Sinai Governorate, Egypt. The results indicated that irrigation tested wheat varieties with magnetically treated BW1or magnetically treated BW2 treatments surpassed irrigation with brackish water in all tested vegetative growth parameters at 75 DAS (i.e., plant height (cm), fresh and dry weight of wheat shoot (kg m2), water contents (%), Flag leaf area (cm2 plant-1) as well as shoot contents of N, Mg, Ca, Fe and Cu. While revers trends were recorded in Na, Mn, Zn and proline. Results also, recorded that micro-morphological characters as number of cells and thickness of layer in addition to the diameter of vascular bundled especially the xylem vessels were compatible with vegetative growth parameters. The yield crop which is the most important was increased with irrigation by magnetic water. As an average of magnetically BW treatments, the percent of improvement reached to 19.24, 33.97 and 26.99% in grains, straw and biological yield (ton fed-1), respectively compared to irrigation with brackish water. The clear improvement in productivity of tested wheat verities under magnetically treated brackish irrigation water may be due to the reduction of irrigation and/or soil salinity stress as a result of displacement of salts away from the root zone spread, lack of sodium exchange in the soil, availability of most fertilizer elements; increased cations exchange capacity and improved soil aggregation. It be concluded that, application of this technology could be play a vital role for improving wheat productivity when sowing under these conditions.

The ameliorating effect of 150 mg/kg b.w. of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) against the oral administration of 7.88 (1/25 LD50) or 202.07 (1/10 LD50) mg/kg/day for 14 days of chlorpyrifos- ethyl (CPF-E) and chlorpyrifos-methyl (CPF-M), respectively, was investigated using neurobehavioral and biochemical markers for this toxicity. Neurobehavioral tests; open field test (OFT), hole-board test (HBT), light/dark box test (LDBT) and elevated plus maze (EPM) showed increase frequency of exploration, low level of anxiety and locomotor in rats treated with either CPE-E or CPF-M, while the co-administration of NAC to treated rats attenuated neurobehavioral parameters. Biomarkers such as acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), paraoxonase (PON) and adenosine 5'-triphosphatase, (ATP-ase) showed declining in their activities, while calcium (Ca+2) levels in brain were increased. However, the administration of NAC following the intoxification of CPF-E or CPF-M attenuated the values of these biomarkers. It can be concluded that NAC can be used to ameliorate the toxicity of certain organophosphorus compounds such as CPF-E and CPF-M and considered it as a choice for the prevention and treatment of either CPF-E or CPF-M -induced toxicity.

This paper seeks to examine the effects of processing apricots at home in different ways on the antioxidant activity. Raw, boiled, puree, juice and apricot jam that were processed at home were examined for their total carotenoids, total flavonoids (TF), total phenolics (TP) and total antioxidant activities. The results showed that apricots are rich in fiber and mineral, the most important of which are potassium and phosphorus. Puree and jam had the highest total phenolics and total flavonoids content compared to raw apricot, boiled and juice. In addition, puree, and jam had the highest total antioxidant activities compared to other products. There were no significant differences in the carotenoids content among raw, boiled, puree, jam and Juice of apricot. This research provides detailed analysis to examine the effects of different methods of apricots’ home processing on the antioxidant potential of different apricot products.

The aim of this study was evaluate Enterobacter asburiae as plant growth promoter, through a field experiment conducted at Baloza Research Station at Season 2017/2018 on the production of Basil (Ocimum basilicum L., Family: Lamiaceae). The results showed increasing in growth parameters and essential oil yield by Ent. asburiae treatment and Ent. asburiae + half dose of N2 treatment than the control. Ent. asburiae produced phytohormones and amino acids which increased plant growth parameters. The enhanced essential oil has antibacterial activity which showed as a zone of inhibition around bacterial growth on agar plates. Enterobacter asburiae produced ammonia which decreased fungi counts. The more positive response of the oils extracted of treated plant showedessential the presence of gram negative strains (Pseudomonas sp < em>.)and gram positive strains(Listeria sp. and Bacillus cereus) by usingEnterobacter asburiae treatment.

This study investigated the possible effect of soybean, virgin coconut and Moringa oleifera seed oilsfor 8 weeks on Propylthiouracil (PTU) induced hypothyroidism in rats.Thirty five male albino rats were divided into two main groups; Group (I) (7 rats) was fed only basal diet and served as a negative control group. Group (II) (28 rat) were injected with (10 mg / kg / day PTU) for 15 day to cause hypothyroidism, then divided into 4 subgroups: namely control positive group based on basal diet, and 2nd, 3rd and 4th subgroup were treated orally with dose of 5ml/kg BW oils of Soybean (SO), Virgin coconut (VCO) and M.oleifera seeds (MOO), respectively beside basal diet.The results showed that PTU exposed rats showed significant decrease (P≤0.05) in serum FT3, FT4 levels and significant increase (P≤0.05) in serum TSH levels. The orall treatement with SO, VCO and MOO was significantly increased FT4 and FT3, while decreased the level of TSH comparing with the positive control group. It was also reduced level of malondialdehyde (MDA) level, significantly, increased activity of liver antioxidant enzymes-superoxide dismutase (SOD) and improved liver functions and lipid profile compared with the positive control group. So, it could be concluded that oils of soybean, virgin coconut and M. oleifera seed oils improve the role of thyroid by raising thyroid hormones and reducing oxidative stress in patients with hypothyroidism.

Beet root possess widespread use in many traditional dishes, whereas its consumption has many highlyhealthand therapeutic benefits to a human body attributed to its high content of phytochemical compounds and high antioxidant properties. The objectives of this study was to assess the potential therapeutic effects of beet root pomace powder (BRPP) on nephropathy induced bygentamicin in diabetic rats and study its application in cakes to utilization of it.Thirty adult male albino rats were randomly divided into two main groups and fed on standard diet. Group I: negative control (6 rats) and group II: nephropathy diabetic rats (24 rats) were given a single dose via intraperitoneal injection of 65 mg / kg body weight of streptozotocin (STZ). Then, Nephropathy was induced in diabetic rats via intraperitoneally injection daily of gentamicin (GM) 85 mg / kg body weight for 8 days.Nephropathy diabetic rats group were divided into four subgroups (6 rats each) as follow: First (positive control group), second, third and fourth group received standard diet + 2.5, 5 and 7.5 % of dried BRPP, respectively for 60 days. Theresults showed that BRPP contained (416.2 mg gallic acid/100 g) total phenolics, (31.3 mg catchin/100 g) flavonoids, (29.2 mg/100 g) β. carotene, (2.91 mg/100 g) ascorbic acid, (166.5 mg/100 g) betalain and had (42.87%) of antioxidant activity. Injection the rats with streptozotocin and gentamicin resulted in elevation in blood and urine glucose levels, lipid profile, kidney functions in the serum and MDA levels with a reduction in the activity of GSH.px, SOD and CAT in kidney tissues and serum insulin levels. Moreover,feeding nephropathy diabetic rats on a daily diet containing BRPP at 5 and 7.5% of standard diet for 60 days produced a marked reduction in the serum levels of blood and urine glucose, lipid profile, kidney function and MDA levels as well as elevation in the activity of GSH.px, SOD and CAT and serum insulin levels compared to the positive control group. Supplemented rats diet with 7.5% of BRPP was more effective in improving the previous parameters. Sensory evaluation of cakes prepared with 7.5% of BRPP showed the better properties in appearance, taste, texture, compressibility, colour and over all acceptability compared with the control and cakes prepared with 2.5 and 5% of BRPP. The study concluded that BRPP has hypoglycemic potent effects and improve renal damage induced by gentamicin in diabetic rats.So, it is advice to add BRPP to bakery products and consume daily for kidney patients.

In order to evaluate the response of grain yield, yield compounds, quality and water use efficiency of barley cv. Giza 126 cultivar to irrigation water regimes and biofertilization inoculation, field experiment was conducted in the Experimental Farm of Maryout Experimental Station, Desert Research Center, Egypt, during two successive growing seasons 2017/18 and 2018/19. The experimental design was a split plot, whereas the main plots involved by irrigation water regimes and the sub-main plots involved by biofertilization treatments, with three replicates. The obtained results indicated that yield, yield attributes and N, P and K contents in grains of barley i.e. plant height, spike length, number of spikes/m2, number of grains/spike, 1000-grain weight, grain yield ha-1. The contents of nitrogen, phosphorus percentage in barley grains and water use efficiency significantly increased with increasing irrigation water applications and by biofertilizers treatments. However, the number of spikelets/spike, and potassium percentage in grains was not significantly affected by irrigations water regimes and/or biofertilizers treatments. Water use efficiency (kg m-3) for grain yield significantly increased with increasing irrigation water application with biofertilizers treatments in the two growing seasons. The highest values of all studded traits were recorded by applying the three times irrigation in the two seasons. Regarding biofertilizers inoculation effects, results showed that the maximum values of most studied traits were recorded by inoculating with both Mycorrhiza and Azotobacter together as a combination treatment for both seasons except plant height, which produced highest values, by inoculating with Mycorrhiza and Azotobacter in the first season and by using Azotobacter alone in the second one. On the other side, maximum value of nitrogen percentage in grains were recorded by treating the plant with Azotobacter alone in the two seasons. The results clearly showed that barley plants which irrigated by the three irrigations and inoculated by Mycorrhiza and Azotobacter together, as a combination treatment, produced the highest yield, yield components and water use efficiency at the North Western Coast of Egypt.

The importance of the agriculture sector to the Egyptian economy along with the ever-increasing population emphasize the need for desert land reclamation as a vital key to narrow the food gap resulting from land degradation and the population growth. Therefore, the objective of this study is to provide the agricultural land use planning for an uncultivated land area (6539 ha) in the southwestern part of wadi Al-Natrun district, Egypt. In this research, 63 soil augers were sampled in the field based on a grid sampling strategy. The maps of soil characteristics and the soil mapping units were produced in GIS environment through the interpolation and overlaying processes. Land suitability assessment was performed using ALESarid-GIS model as a decision support system. Land suitability maps for different crops were produced. Results indicated that the soil salinity, exchangeable sodium percent, calcium carbonate content, and soil depth ranged from 0.33 to 59.1 dS/m, 1.49 to 63.58%, 0.47 to 67.1%, and 15 to 200 cm, respectively. The particle size distribution indicates the dominance of the sand to loamy sand soil texture. Eight soil mapping units were identified in the study area illustrating the spatial variability of the above mentioned soil properties. Prediction of land suitability by using ASLEarid indicated that six crops are the most suitable crops to grow in the study area. These crops are cotton, sunflower, cabbage, barley, sorghum, and watermelon. Results revealed that more than half of the study area is moderately (S2) to marginally (S3) suitable for each one of these crops. The output of this research would help decision makers plan the future desert land reclamation projects in Egypt.

Two field experiments were carried out at El- Road village, Sahl El-Hossinia, El-Sharkia Governorate, Egypt, during two winter growing seasons: 2017/18 and 2018/2019 to study the effect of different calcium sources (calcium sulphate, calcium phosphate and calcium nitrate) at different rates (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/fed) on some soil properties and garlic plants productivity under saline soil conditions. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replicates. The results showed that applications of different calcium sources at high rates decreased soil salinity and increased available macro and micronutrients contents in soil. The plant height (cm), No. of leaves/plant, No. of cloves / bulb and bulb diameter (cm) were increased with increasing calcium sources rates due to more reduction in soil salinity. While the application of the three calcium sources significantly increased fresh and dry weight of garlic bulb /plant (g) of the two growing seasons, the weight of garlic clover /plant (g) and bulb yield (ton/fed) significantly increased with increasing application rates of each calcium source in the second season. The interaction between calcium sources and rates showed significant increases in N, P and K concentration of bulb plants and significant decreases in Na+ concentration at both seasons.Calcium sulphate application reduced proline content, while chlorophyll contents were increased. Calcium nitrate application increased the protein contents (%) of garlic plants. These results cleared that calcium sulphate, calcium phosphate and calcium nitrate can be used at a rate of 300 kg/fed to improve soil properties and to increase yield and yield components of garlic plant grown under saline soil condition.

Field experiment was conducted during wheat cropping season on a calcareous soil to assess the efficacy of vermicompost and compost to immobilize copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) in soil. The soil amendments applied alone and in combinations with mineral fertilizers to compare their efficacy for metals immobilization. Both of amendments significantly reduced extractable Cu and Cd in soil at wheat harvest. Copper and cadmium fractionation showed significant decreases in the extractable fractions by the vermicompost 47.06% and 98.81% in untreated with heavy metals soil whereas 46.46% and 80.06% in treated soil with heavy metals respectively or compost 22.35% and 79.17% in untreated with heavy metals soil whereas 20.56% and 73.05% in treated soil with heavy metals respectively. Vermicompost and compost amendments enhanced metals immobilization which reduces their expected uptake by plant and subsequent accumulation in the grains of wheat, particularly with vermicompost. In conclusion, the results indicated that compost and vermicompost have great potential to remediate Cu and Cd contaminated soils.

The current study was designed to add turnip roots powder to some fried foods, including chicken nuggets and Falafel, in order to reduce their acrylamide content and increase their nutritional value, glutathione content and antioxidant activity. Falafel prepared by adding three different percentages from turnip roots powder (5, 10, 15%). Also, turnip roots powder was added to both chicken meat and rusk powder at 5, 10, 15% in the preparation of chicken nuggets. The results showed that the best acceptable percentage for chicken nuggets was 10% while, Falafel was 5%. The results indicated that the turnip roots powder contains moisture , ash, protein, crude fat, crude fiber, N-free extract and calories as follows (6.48±0.45%, 0.23±0.02 %, 5.47±0.72 %, 0.56±0.23%, 7.50±0.73%, 86.24±0.01 and 371.88±008 DW, respectively). It has also been shown that chicken nuggets and Falafel prepared with turnip roots contained low fat and calories compared to the control, however they are rich in fiber and ash content. The glutathione content of turnip roots powder was 7.50± 0.10mg/kg . A high level of glutathione was observed in Falafel and chicken nuggets after adding the turnip roots powder. The products prepared from turnip roots showed also higher radical scavenging activity than the other products. In addition, The highest percentages of flavonoids, total phenols, glutathione and antioxidants activity were detected in chicken nuggets and Falafel prepared from turnip roots. In contrast, the content of acrylamide decreased in chicken nuggets and Falafel prepared from turnip roots while increased in the control groups. There was a closed relationship between the antioxidant content and the formation of acrylamide. In conclusion, The efficiency of turnip roots was clearly proved through the data obtained from the in vitro samples, therefore (chicken nuggets and Falafel) that contained turnip roots powder are considered a good source of many bioactive compounds and antioxidants compared to chicken nuggets and Falafel prepared by traditional ingredients.

The present study was carried-out at Antoniades Research Branch, Horticultural Research Institute, A.R.C. Alexandria, Egypt, during the two successive seasons of 2017 and 2018. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different irrigation intervals and shading treatments ongrowth quality of Beaucarnea recurvata plants grown in mixture soil of sand and clay1:1(v/v). An experiment was established to test the effect of four irrigation intervals (7, 14, 21 and 28 days) and one irrigation level was used to keep the soil moisture at the field capacity of the mixture soil at 100%, in addition to three levels of shading (0, 30, and 60 %). Data showed that the lowest irrigation intervals (7days) had given the highest results, while shading (30%) had given the highest effects on the vegetative growth and chemical constituents. Regarding the interaction between effect of irrigation intervals and different shading treatments on the vegetative growth and chemical constituents, the results showed that the highest mean values in the number of leaves, leaves dry weights, leaves area, stem diameter, caudex diameter, stem dry weight, caudex dry weight, root length, root dry weight, carbohydrates, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium, were obtained in irrigation intervals (7 days) and shading (30%). While, the results showed that the greatest plant height and total chlorophylls, were obtained in irrigation intervals (7 days) and shading (60%). In addition, the highest proline content were obtained in irrigation intervals (28 days) and shading (0%) and highest relative water content were obtained in irrigation intervals (28 days) and shading (60%).

The present investigation revealed that Red sea stretches along Marsa Alam of Egypt is a habitation of diverse groups of marine macro-algal species recorded along Marsa Hemera shore. Ecological studies (meteorological data, water, soil, aqueous extract analysis of Sargassum muticum (Yendo) Fensholt and associated species) reported that, slightly alkaline; low turbidity, moderate temperature and available nutrient content of saline water produced massive growth of S. muticum during September (2018). Ecological and Physico-chemical properties of collected water samples showed variations of different parameters of sea water like temperature, salinity, pH, and high dissolved minerals. Heavy metals accumulation inside the investigated seaweeds S. muticum was within the corresponding range. The aqueous extract of S. muticum contained high amounts of Na, Ca, K and Fe, moderate amounts of Zn, and low in Cu, Cd, Ni and Mn. Lead Pb recorded 0.291 ppm, Ag, Co and Ga were absent in aqueous extract. The associated species to the brown algae S. muticum are belonging to 6 families and 7 species as follows: Sargassaceae, Fucaceae, Phaeophyceae, Rhodomelaceae, Caulerpaceae and Hydrocharitaceae. Results showed that S. muticum enriched in essential amino acids; micro and macro elements, carbohydrates, protein, lipids, and agar. These algae may be used as bio fertilizers.

The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of nano-priming application on seed germination of maize under salt stress. Zea mays L. seeds were primed in saline water (6.5dsm-1) and mango peels nanoparticles (nMPs) at concentration of 1000mg/L. Nano-primed and non-primed seeds were germinated in petri dishes with two round filter papers moistened with 5 ml distilled water and with 10 ml solutions of 5 salinity levels (0, 2.5, 6.5, 9.5 and 12.5 dSm−1). Increasing salinity levels significantly diminished radicle and plumule length, seedling fresh- dry weights, germination percentage and vigor index. Priming seeds in nMPs and saline water significantly improved germination percentage, vigor index, radicle, plumule length and total fresh weight. Such findings may serve as in vitro selection criteria for ameliorating salt stress in maize plants.

The main objective of this study was to use moringa leaves in preparing and Fortifying food products and evaluating them. The lab study included the preparation of different foods from moringa (drink, salad, cooked moringa leaves, soup, biscuits, pizza and rice). 30% 5% 10% 5% respectively the sensory organic properties of the prepared products were evaluated.
The results of the chemical analysis showed the high content of moringa leaves of carbohydrates, protein, ash, fat, fiber, phenols and vitamins, as well as moringa olivera leaves contained minerals important to the human body in appropriate quantities and also contained all the essential amino acids that cannot be formed by man.
As for the results of the sensory evaluation, the results indicated that all the samples produced were acceptable to the arbitrators and to a high degree for the properties of color, taste, smell, textures and Overall acceptability.
The results show the approximation of the physical properties of both the control sample and the produced sample where the diameter reached 5.39 cm for the control while it reached 5.21 for the produced sample while the weight in the sample produced was less than the control sample.
The estimation of storage properties of sunflower oil used in the production of moringa pizza also showed a decrease in the oxidation and peroxide values of the sample produced from the control sample.
