This research was conducted in the countryside of Tartous, to aim for the analysis of moisture, protein, TSS and pH of royal jelly (RJ) harvested after 24 to 48 hours of grafting, compared with that traditionally harvested after 72 hours of grafting.
As well as to analysis of these compounds in (RJ) within cells to brood of workers, compared with the (RJ) product in cups. 50 samples were analyzed in wet weight and dry weight for (RJ), which was harvested in this research.
This study is devoted to the durability of bituminous mixtures,
including the effects of different gradations, compaction
temperatures and immersion time on the durability potential of
mixtures.
During the season of 2002, samples of olive fruit were taken (Ashrasi type)
from Ninavah horticulture’s station that belongs to the ministry of agriculture
in Iraq. The purpose of this research is to study some physical and chemical
characteristic
s during the growing period, from July until October. Those
characteristics include moisture, ash, oil content, chlorophyll A & B, protein,
pH and carbohydrate, In addition to fruit length, size, weight, radius, and
rigidity. The results showed significant increase in moisture, oil, weight, size
and length of the fruit were studied. Significant reduction was noticed in the
percentages of the protein, carbohydrate, ash and the fruit rigidity. The highest
values of chlorophyll were observed during The month of September. October
considered as the best time to harvest olive fruits for pickle purpose.
