In his landmark book, "Cuisine Minceur" (William Morrow, 1976), Michel Guerard wrote that steaming "is a process filled with fragrances that also causes the fat to 'sweat' out of food while preserving the nutritive elements (minerals, vitamins) and the original, essential flavors".
Nutritive elements used for the fertilizing solution added one day before inoculation: Nitrogen (1N) or no nitrogen (0N).
Rats were fed with standard pellets, containing all nutritive elements, drinking water ad libitum, and were acclimatized for 1 week prior to the treatment.
Results revealed that inoculation with mycorrhiza and Pseudomonas rhizobacteria under drought stress significantly increased the concentration of nutritive elements, and likewise the activity of antioxidant enzymes.
For these reasons, increasing attention has been given to find the best methods to spread OMW on agricultural lands and to recycle both the organic matter and the nutritive elements in the soil crops system.
This study aimed to investigate the concentration of nutritive elements as well as the antioxidant activity of enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate, and peroxidase in Calotropis procera Ait.
In general, it can be concluded that the studied mycorrhizal and rhizobacterial inoculations hold the potential to considerably affect Calotrope seedlings tolerance against drought stress through improving both the concentration of nutritive elements and the activity of antioxidant enzymes, and thus decreasing oxidative damage.
On the other hand, in Phillyrea plants, the rate of 45% compost gives high performance equal to that of 30%; it would therefore seem that the high pH at 45% compost does not influence the nutritive elements' absorption and, as a consequence, the growth.
They supply the myocardium with oxygen and nutritive elements.
