The use of microfiltration as an alternative to pasteurisation to reduce the microbial load of raw skimmed milk is a well established technology. However, its application in reducing bacteria from highly viscous dairy based solutions has not due to issues of low flux and high fouling tendency. This study involves the application of microfiltration ...

Mobile DNA sequences - transposable elements (TEs) that amplify and move within genomes represent a high proportion of the DNA in most eukaryotes. The present study aimed to define TE nature, structure and abundance in two contrasting groups of diploid and polyploids crop genera, Brassica (dicotyledon) and Musa (monocotyledon). Rather than starting...

Soil moisture is an important variable in hydrological modelling used for real time flood forecasting and water resources management. However, it is a very challenging task to measure soil moisture over a hydrological catchment using conventional in-situ sensors. Remote sensing is gaining popularity due to its large coverage suitable for soil moist...
Quality traits associated with consumer health are an important aspect of modem plant breeding programmes. Of particular interest are phenolic compounds, a group that includes phenylpropanoids, flavonoids and anthocyanins. Previous studies have shown an inverse correlation between the incidence of chronic disease states and the intake of fruits and...
