#Broccoli sprout beverage enhances detoxification of air pollutants in clinical triala clinical trial involving nearly 300 Chinese men
and women residing in one of China's most polluted regions found that daily consumption of a half cup of broccoli sprout beverage produced rapid significant and sustained higher levels of excretion of benzene
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health working with colleagues at several U s. and Chinese institutions used the broccoli sprout beverage to provide sulforaphane a plant compound already demonstrated to have cancer preventive properties
when the plant is chewed or the beverage swallowed. It acts to increase enzymes that enhance the body's capacity to expunge these types of the pollutants.
Participants in the control group drank a beverage made of sterilized water pineapple and lime juice while the beverage for the treatment group additionally contained a dissolved freeze-dried powder made from broccoli sprouts that contained glucoraphanin and sulforaphane.
Sixty-two men (21%)and 229 women (79%)with a median age of 53 (ranging from 21 to 65) years were enrolled in the study.
The research team found that among participants receiving the broccoli sprout beverage the rate of excretion of the carcinogen benzene increased 61%beginning the first day and continuing throughout the 12-week period.

and beverage purchases declined significantly. Declines were noted especially in milk soft drink juice and juice drinks
and grain-based dessert purchases all of which include higher calorie solid fats and added sugars.
Per capita calories purchased per day decreased by 182 during the period. We know from previous research that 70 to 80 percent of the preschooler diet comes from stores with the rest coming from school cafeteria

#Inactive yeast to preserve aroma of young winesresearchers at UPM in collaboration with CSIC have proved that the usage of inactive yeast preparations rich in glutathione can preserve the aroma of young wines during their storage.
This new technique could be a more sustainable alternative than the traditional usage of sulfites to preserve the aroma of young wines during their storage.
based on inactive wine yeasts and rich in glutathione can reduce the oxidation process that is produced by the aroma loss of young wines The fresh fruity and floral aroma of young wines (white
and rosã) can quickly disappear during their storage because of the oxidation process. Additionally young wines can change their color due to the formation of polymers producing orange and brown color tones.
Apart from the loss of pleasant aromas this process can produce unpleasant aromas similar to some aged wines.
From a technological point of view an interesting solution to minimize this problem could be the usage of antioxidant compounds that delay the appearance of these types of reaction from deterioration.
This represents an interesting natural alternative that is currently having a great reception from all winemakers.
However the technological aptitude to preserve the aroma of young wines with this technique has not been proved so far.
There researchers studied the effect of inactive yeast preparations rich in glutathione in the aroma of rosã wine of the Garnacha variety.
Also they studied the same wine elaborated with the traditional process. This research had a UPM panel of twelve judges.
This consisted of triangular tests that determine sensorial differences between the treated and the controlled wine during the lifetime of the wine (1 2 3 and 9 months.
The wines were sensorially similar until the ninth month of storage. In order to evaluate qualitative and quantitative differences the specialized judges conducted a descriptive sensorial analysis where they assessed
and scored the intensity of some of the most characteristic flavors of these wines (strawberry peach banana floral yeast) and flavor (acidity).
As a result they statistically proved that the wines with additives based on antioxidant inactive yeasts were more intense in fruit aromas (strawberry and banana) and less intense in aromatic notes more specific for oxidation (yeast.
These results indicate that the derivates based on inactive wine yeasts and rich in glutathione could be interesting additives to preserve the aroma of young wines during their storage.

#Increasing sugar concentration in tomato juice found by researchersto increase the sugar concentration and resulting marketability of tomato juice growers have used traditionally techniques such as subjecting plants to salt and water stresses.
In a new study published in Horttechnology Ken Takahata and Hiroyuki Miura from Tokyo University of Agriculture reported on a prototypic method known as basal wire coiling that shows potential as a simple and effective method for increasing the sugar concentration in tomato fruit juice.
We investigated whether coiling wire around the lower part of the plant stems to reduce the capacity of xylem to transport water to the shoot would result in low shoot moisture conditions
The juice of fruit from the first to third trusses in the treated plants had soluble solids concentrations of 116%to 120%sucrose concentrations of 263%to 483

#Late freeze kills fruit buds, study showsthe recent late cold snap could mean less fruit this year.
or even some sort of small fruit bush that was in flower it very likely could have killed the fruit buds said Ward Upham Kansas State university extension agent in horticulture.
Upham says the recent freezes may have killed fruit buds that already sprouted. Apricots and peaches are most likely to be affected since they bloom earlier than other fruits.
To check if your fruit buds survived pick a bud from the tree and cut it open from the base to the top.
If the inside is green the bud is still healthy. However if the inside is brown
Upham suggests pulling 10 to 20 buds off each tree to get a percentage of the amount of fruit damaged.
Fruit buds are damaged usually when it is 28 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Apricots and peaches aren't the only fruits to be affected by this year's unruly weather.
